Cell Specs = Game Over for Xenon

[MrSingh]

Now that we have specs for Cell, can we all agree that Xenon is already finished? MS should just give up before they dump any more money into a product that's DOA.

Uh, imo we hardly know enough about either product to claim one way or another.

Yep, and while we're at it, let's go ahead and cancel all further Nintendo DS development, since that is also an entertainment device. And Sony should drop their PSP plans. And Dell needs to cancel all of its hardware orders because the miraculous Cell will make every system they sell obsolete. We can also shut down the whole dang internet because Cell has already 'proven' that it will destroy all other forms of technology. In fact, let's just stop reproducing as human beings and go ahead and just put the almighty Cell chip into super robots (also from Sony), since they'll obviously be better than us at everything.

Please go troll somewhere else.

Its not always about the raw specs in the console world. There are many more factors that determine a console's success than just that as history has shown us.

Personally, I wouldn't underestimate Microsoft's strategy... If anyone can knock Sony off the top I think that they have the resources to do it.

Its a good thing Sony dropped support for the ps2 when it did, it would have been silly to compete with the vastly superior Xbox.

Xbox was barely (if at all) more powerful than PS2. You can see many crossplatform games that are better on PS2 (Spy Hunter, EA games, Burnout series etc.).

PS3 however, will be much much more powerful than Xenon.

>1.25 Teraflops vs. 80 gigaflops? No contest at all.

You listed quite a few titles that had PS2 clearly as the target hardware, Halo 2 blows anything on PS2 out of the water. Graphics don't win wars, its the quality of software, the interactive bits are what matter. That's why PS3 will crush Xenon (hey I never said MS had much of a chance next-gen).

You're being sarcastic, right?

You have official specs for both? Or know actual developer comments(those who have seen both!)? Describe them, that we may judge for ourselves.

hes right tho. ps3 is going to crush everything next generation sales wise. but it isnt because of the hardware. nintendo and xbox could both have substantially more powerful systems and it wouldnt mean a thing. they will be battling for a distant distant second.

Sony isn't bulletproof.



The Apple iPod is the new walkman.

Blueray support is faltering.

Recently Sony had their credit rating lowered.

I think Xenon will win because M$ will buy out the industry.....

Thread locked due to obvious trolling. jvd and I aren't on here 24 hours a day so it may take some time before locking these threads. We do our best.
