"Nobody will ever use 100% of PS3" says Sony

Phil Harrison has taken another opportunity to talk-up the PS3's technical capabilities, saying that no-one will ever be able to tap 100% of the capabilities of Sony's cell-powered PlayStation 3.

The comment comes from an interview with MTV.com, in which the Sony worldwide studios boss says that current Sony software is using "less than half" of the PS3's power, potentially meaning even larger and more beautiful giant crabs for the next instalment of Genji.

In the MTV chat Harrison also makes note of the challenges Sony faces with its handheld, saying that he wants to change the fact that "most people use their PSP at home." Harrison adds that "Nintendo should be congratulated," for attracting large amounts of new gamers to the market with the DS, adding the anticipated dig: "they are our customers of tomorrow."

Winding down the modest banter, Harrison offers good new for fans of bizarre PSP title Loco Roco, revealing that plans are in the pipeline for further blob-tilting series instalments. "We're continuing to evolve the franchise," he says. "We're going to bring LocoRoco back in a couple of new ways with some new friends in the future."

Could Loco Roco be headed for Sony's Xbox Live Arcade-style e-distribution service? We've got our fingers crossed.

That's nothing new. Nobody has ever used a 100% of the processing power of any game system. Even if you claimed to have used that much pwer, how would you go about proving it. I find it hard to belive any one game or app will every need every last instruction available in today's CPU's.

maybe its because they claim it has more power than it really has. i say you could use full CPU Power, buy just chucking linux onto one and opening as many movies as possible.

Also if we will never use all the power why do they make the PS3's soo powerful, making them more expensive
