What made the PS3 useful in super computing and why didn’t the PS4 find the same use?
In: Technology
For it’s time it had some pretty powerful hardware, plus the original version (pre PS3 slim) had good Linux support which made networking them together and running it as a supercomputer pretty easy. Sony removed that support from the PS3 Slim version (due to the ability to hack the console through this support) which caused the “downfall” of super computing with a PS3. PS4 also lacked this support so it wasn’t very enticing for anyone to even attempt using the PS4 in the same way.
