"things we’ve not even thought of may end up best demonstrating PS3's power."
"Howard from Bethesda PS3 “has more than enough power. No game is using it all yet not even close”. Mercenaries 2 Warner 'their game was only using 30% of PS3’s power' - EA claimed their launch games only tapped 20%."

Yes that is also true, forgot about that. A good comparison is the Sega Saturn, which had parallel processors. It was hard to code for and its later titles were even more impressive over its earliest titles than even the difference in PS2 early to late titles. Such that it allowed Sega to recode the same games and sell them years later with huge improvements in graphics.
The whole deal with Sega Saturn was impressive, especially considering it had to be abandoned before it could've reached its prime in game development. Thus, good news for seeing PS3 titles improvement in the next year or two. PS3 won't be a Sega Saturn redux at all IMO.
