It's finally happened; a next gen console maker has cut a feature from their console. According to Sony boss Ken
Kutaragi, the proposed router feature on the upcoming PS3 has been dropped because it would have been too expensive.
Whether or not the console will still feature three gigabit ethernet ports is not certain. Another reason for this
feature to be dropped was that apparently lots of consumers that want a router already have one or are planning on a
dedicated one. Why anyone would want a wired router in their living room is beyond my understanding. Although
apparently they had plans for an "IP camera" (which I guess is a posh word for an always-on webcam). Still, this
doesn't answer the question of why they'd need three ports to plug a single camera in.
