PlayStation 3

From LittleBigPlanet Wiki

The next console to be released in the PlayStation series, as well as Sony's entry in the seventh-generation console war, was the PLAYSTATION 3, which launched in November of 2006 to combat the release of the Nintendo Wii and the year-old Microsoft Xbox 360. It uses a unique processing architecture called the Cell microprocessor, a proprietary technology developed by Sony with the help of Toshiba and IBM, and its graphics processing unit, the RSX 'Reality Synthesizer', was co-developed by Nvidia. Compared to the other two seventh-generation consoles, the PLAYSTATION 3 is the most powerful console in terms of processing power and graphics. Commercially, however, it has been less successful than the other two consoles, selling only 3 million units within the first fiscal year of its launch (which ended in March 2007), placing it in third behind the Wii and the 360.
