This is the generation where individual consoles won't stand out, but rather individual technologies.

I'm delighted that we're all coming down to earth in terms of the performance of these systems. At the end of the day, PS3 and Xbox 360 are mass consumer items that have to be sold at mass consumer prices. Busisness is business and 360 and PS3 will make huge compromises so that these wonderful...

What's the use of having HD if your AA is sub-par?

Well at least PSX and PS2 games will be in 1080p...

I remember reading that as well. The confusion comes in because I thought that unified shaders were more complex since they can do both pixel and vertex ops and therefore should be able to do one of each per clock, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It seems that the unified shaders are the...

How many ops per clock can a traditional pixel shader do versus a hybrid shader? Is it true that hybrid shaders can only do one op per clock cycle while traditional (dedicated) shaders can do two ops per clock? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

We'll see. In the perfect world, everything would come for free. ...or they could wait until the BIG PS3 games come out before they purchase as PS3 unless they really want a cheap BD player. Hell, they may even benefit from a price drop.

You can't respond to one sentence as if it is the main point of my post, because it's not. B/C is a mess on all consoles if sacrifices have to be made to include it. I doubt that b/c is a CONVENIENCE to Sony with the PS3 as it was with the PS2. It's more convenient in Nintendo's case though...

B/C is a mess on consoles and Sony set a precedent that will bite them, MS and Nintendo in the ass in the future. MS shouldn't have gone with b/c to begin with because of the inherent problems with it. Due to the raw deal that Nvidia gave them and probably some issues with Intel, an...

This is crazy. The console launched in November and they're are still lines like at launch.

Where have you been? 1 million units + 3 territories = Disasterous launch.

That's the devkits. They always have twice the memory of the actual console.

I figured that, but as much as Sony was pimping Linux, you'd think they'd have tools running on at least Red Hat's distribution. It's just funny looking in this context. Almost as funny as Xbox 360 dev kits running on G5's. Okay, is there a hidden PC somewhere. Is the IDE running on the...

Sony misleading everyone again? Who's surprised?
