Sony was at the top of the world and while their design of the PS2 was unorthodox still became the best selling console of all time with a fantastic game library and great graphics for the time. Sony wanted to follow the same philosophy for the PS3 hardware design and that was exactly what they did, only times where different and designing all the chips like they did on the two previous generations wasn't really feasible anymore. Also the PS3 hit at literally the worst time, there was a tectonic shift about to happen, the thinking at the time was to offload some GPU workloads to heavily specialized units in the CPU they had low programmability but were powerful for some very specific workloads, but literally a few days before the PS3 launch NVIDIA released the 8000 series GPUs (Tesla) and it had unified shaders, and it introduced CUDA which meant GPUs were no longer just for graphics but could be used for others things as well (GPGPU) and basically made any other design obsolete overnight.

For Oleksandra Tsekhanovska, head of the Hybrid Warfare Analytical Group at the Kyiv-based Ukraine Crisis Media Center, the effects are both near- and far-reaching. "Someone posing as a Ukrainian citizen just joins the chat and starts spreading misinformation, or gathers data, like the location of shelters," Tsekhanovska said, noting how false messages have urged Ukrainians to turn off their phones at a specific time of night, citing cybersafety. There was another possible development: Reuters also reported that Ukraine said that Belarus could soon join the invasion of Ukraine. However, the AFP, citing a Pentagon official, said the U.S. hasn’t yet seen evidence that Belarusian troops are in Ukraine. Two days after Russia invaded Ukraine, an account on the Telegram messaging platform posing as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged his armed forces to surrender. Telegram users are able to send files of any type up to 2GB each and access them from any device, with no limit on cloud storage, which has made downloading files more popular on the platform.
