lets put the pressure on them to make them good miners then we get a games console with an inbuilt custom asic at the mass production rate If it cant mine why bother buying it right ? of course it has to be great at playing games too  |

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

The new Mac Pro may be a good miner. With dual ATI and 7TerraHash, Tim even said it supports openCL, maybe apple is secretly mining. The difficulty rate has nothing to do with ASICs, it's Johhny!

The days of commodity hardware being good at bitcoin mining are over. Don't look to generic hardware any more to make any kind of impact, only dedicated hardware will matter (ignoring altcoins).

Playstation 4 GPU: 18 compute units, theoretical peak performance of 1.84 TFLOPS 7970: 32 compute units, theoretical peak performance of 3.79 TFLOPS So (in theory!) a PS4 should do ~300 MHash/s mining SHA-256 coins or ~350 KHash/s mining scrypt coins. Not sure about the effects of it's unified memory architecture, etc. We'll see "in two weeks" (BFL time) or in Q4/2013 (earth time)  |

The question would be whether it's worth it to have it mining while you're not using it, provided you are going to have it.
Likely so, but I don't know if it's going to be easy to install stuff in it outside of the official channels. There's going to be "homebrew" but I would be very surprised if it happens outside of a controlled walled garden. We're talking about Sony here.

LOL, your reference to "BFL time" could catch on! Reporter to the President: "Guantanamo Bay was meant to be closed already last year. When will the detention camp be closed?" President to Reporter: "I am reliably informed by Congress, 60 days", in a barely audible voice... "or longer", whispers... "BFL time".

It's using a custom AMD APU. We already have APUs today to base performance on, and it's nothing spectacular.

The smart guy will be the one who makes his own alt-coin that can be mined by Ps3/PS4.

I would assume 250 - 300 Mhash.
Given new console reliability while looking back at PS3 and Xbox360... It would die within 1 to 6 months depending on how clean your place is and if you have a cat.

I really think it would suck compared with even the cheapest ASIC.

Maybe it will perform better using a modified CPU miner with HSA+hUMA enabled, rather than try to use OpenCL...
