No point at all. It seems cirus would like to become a regular pretty fast, so spamming crap like this will help him get there faster.
There is proof everywhere. He said his e-mail was [email protected] and Turbonutter did a topic about him in FOG.
Ok, so Sony make the PS2, and release it. For months they have had hardware teams working on it, and now these people have no work to do. Options:
1) Fire them all, thus losing all hardware staff for the next console
2) Find them something to do.
So, as you'd expect, the Sony staff began to develop the PS3- a month after the PS2 release. Before I give you the details, let me point out that Sony announced all this info in a press conference, and that Nintendo, Microsoft and even Sega did, and have done the same things with their consoles (although I'd guess the Dreamcast successor project has closed).
So, the details. Well, the hardware Sony expects to be available in the market in 5 years hasn't been invented yet. So all the people "making" the console are really doing is guessing what will be around then (based on Sony's chip production plans), and manufacturer statistics to begin to make a console around these imaginary parts.
The processor, according to Sony's head of R&D, will have 1000 times more processors than the PS2 chip. Now that's quite a big deal- and it should tell you that Sony know something about the breakthroughs happening in chip technology that we don't!
With this much power the console should be near to photorealistic in terms of graphics- if they could pull that off it would be amazing.
More plans that Sony announced was that these chips, that Sony would make, would be used in other products like servers and mainframe computers. Which implies to me that Sony may be going back to a PC based console architecture... but I could be completely wrong on that.
Finally, you may ask why Sony has released such info. After all, Sega only announced they were working on a new console (and no more) and Nintendo and Microsoft have been very silent. Well, the reason is for investors. By announcing such future details it places faith in the compay to deliver and proves their willingness to do so. Add to this that these details were announced at a time that Nintendo's Gamecube was coming out, and a Microsoft console was HEAVILY rumoured, and you see that Sony needed something to show they weren't going to lose sight of the market.

I've seen that somewhere before, but where?...
