Why PlayStation 2 Is Not Exactly Child's Play nytimes.com If the bus people can't get beyond 1% in the PC market, there's always the PS2, right? I was particularly amused by this little bit. "Sony talks a very aggressive line," said Steven W. Myers, who follows industrial electronics at Jardine Fleming Securities in Tokyo. "but they are not semiconductor people and they don't necessarily know how difficult manufacturing chips can be. To design all out for performance, as they have done, without taking into account manufacturability — to just assume it — that's a bit presumptuous." Sony obviously screwed up on the Rambus Way here. They should have designed it for poor manufacturability AND mediocre performance. Then they should have tried to sell it for $1000. Cheers, Dan.
