 +Sony's 3rd system. Releasing on November 17th, 2006 in North America, the PS3's PowerPC-based CELL CPU, 256+256 MB of RAM, and Nvidia RSX graphics at maximum 1080p output resolution was certainly very powerful, albeit very complex. Launching to mixed reception due to an extremely high price and said hardware complexity, it took the PS3 the entire 7th generation to reach it's sales figure of 87.4 million, eking it out a position of 2nd place overall for generation sales.

 Good, but hit or miss systems. In essence, these have the same features of the earlier revision, outside of the Blu-Ray’s board being embedded within the motherboard (which makes certain driveless hacks easier). The problem is, not all of these can be hacked, as hardware and software changes in systems after and including January 2011 prevent any sort of meaningful hacks. Of course, it’s easy to determine if a system is from 2010 or 2011, as it just requires looking at the sticker on the back. Nonetheless, the unhackable later versions of these systems are a do not buy, while the earlier ones are a bit better than the 21xx revision, so keep that in mind. Good, but hit or miss systems.
