This was an expensive release, which is one of the different reasons I stopped gaming for over half a decade when I lost touch with the industry. If it wasn't for Mark I probably would not have been back as I did.
It is crazy to think even the Air Force used the PS3 power for their research laboratory:
Even high rank Sony's corporate officials such as the head of Polyphony admitted that the PS3's structure was so hard to develop because it was so complicated that it delayed many of the big games.
Once developers started to slowly figure it out, they were able to juice it more. It basically did everything.
But even after they started getting the hand of it, they still couldn't completely master it, which made basically impossible to offer backwards compatibility for it when the next generation console came out.
Even right now, they still can't fully figure it out because the architecture is so different than what it is used nowadays.
Otherwise both the PS4 and the PS5 would had offered backwards compatibility because that has always been a good selling point, specially considering the network store started playing a big role during this generation.
