Back then was a cool idea, and in terms of business makes sense to link their products in both markets, but it was ugly as fuck.

He flew to close to the sun.

OG PS3 is one of the best consoles ever released.
Yes, but she had some problems.

-Hot SDF (90NM!!!)
-Problems with software and documentation for developers;
-At the launch of the generation, there were problems with the availability of system sellers;

But the main reason for these problems is that MS forced the new generation, although they were not ready for it, and as a result, X360s were burning.

I heard that the PS3 was supposed to be released later, with a thinner SDF and a different GPU, but MS was forced to change plans.

They were also supposed to have two CELL "CPUs" and no nvidia GPU... but that obviously did not happen as it seems the CELL was messy to develop.
