Yeah that's a really good looking console....NOT 
Hideous.....
Hideous.....
I hate Sony's marketing team with a passion. They are some of the most dishonest slime in business. Microsoft's PR team also over-exagerates processing capabilities, however not to the same degree. Sony's PR team + Nvidia's PR team makes me want to throw up. RSX Reality engine sounds an awful lot like "Emotion Engine" or "Graphics Synthesizer". What came out of either of those was a powerful little machine that could do some things better than the Dreamcast's SH4 + Power Vr setup, and some things not as well. That time around it was "our machine is 4x more powerful than the competition's" and this time around it is "our machine is 2x more powerful than the competitions, but we will also throw out 10tflops to look like we're giving you ~ 50 million dollars worth of computing for $400". The difference between Dreamcast and PS2 was 0 until the second generation of software emerged for PS2. Then the difference was minimal.
This generation around, both the PS3 and the Xbox360 have ~ the same graphical capabilities, including SM3.0 (+?), high-res AA, similar triangle throughputs (and we all know how much those matter). Basically we will be getting the same nice specular'd, normal mapped, mercury water'd, HDR games. The PS3's may have a touch more bloom, or a few more poly's or some more mercury here and there, but the graphics will have the same DX9 "feel" to them.
The differences between render output by the xbox and the gamecube were fairly minimal, despite the xbox's graphic setup being a generation ahead of the gamecubes in many regards. This time around expect the differences to be even smaller than between the xbox and gamecube. We are talking "compare side by side and see if you can find a qualitative output difference" rather than, "oh man, console A really shines compared to console B". I'm expecting what will drive you to buy one versus the other will be the software that is available on each. Games like Halo 3 and MGS4, or GT5 and Forza 2. Also expect tons of multiplatformers between the two, as studios find they don't receive enough revenue of their IP to create exclusives anymore. Regardless I think both systems will be great, however, I'm beginning to feel that Microsoft got it "more right" from the hardware end. It seems they have a more streamlined, efficient, balanced system that Sony does. I have the feeling of gamecube when seeing the xbox360 specs. Also, the Cell coupled with XDR interface and 256mb of XDR ram should be signif. more expensive to produce. I imagine Sony is sweating a bit right now, which is why we see figures like 10Tflops(!) floating around.
Of course this is speculation as the official spec hasn't been released, but rumours seem fairly accurate.
One last thing. It sounds like G70 vs r500, right Dave? Would I be correct in inferring that the r500 at equal clockspeed will have an advantage in terms of operational efficiency per clock cycle (or does this rely too heavily on the arbiter to make generalisations about?), esp. shader fillrate? If the new G70 does not include eDram, what kind of advantage will r500 have in terms of agregate bandwith, and what situations will it excel at?

Unrivaled Performance With the Introduction of Cell Processor and Many Advanced Technologies, and Backwards Compatible With PlayStation(R) and PlayStation(R)2
LOS ANGELES, May 16 /PRNewswire/ -- At a press conference held in Los Angeles, California, today, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) revealed the outline of its PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3) computer entertainment system, incorporating the world's most advanced Cell processor with super computer like power. Prototypes of PS3 will also be showcased at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the world's largest interactive entertainment exhibition held in Los Angeles, from May 18th to 20th.
PS3 combines state-of-the-art technologies featuring Cell, a processor jointly developed by IBM, Sony Group and Toshiba Corporation, graphics processor (RSX) co-developed by NVIDIA Corporation and SCEI, and XDR memory developed by Rambus Inc. It also adopts BD-ROM (Blu-ray Disc ROM) with maximum storage capacity of 54 GB (dual layer), enabling delivery of entertainment content in full high-definition (HD) quality, under a secure environment made possible through the most advanced copyright protection technology. To match the accelerating convergence of digital consumer electronics and computer technology, PS3 supports high quality display in resolution of 1080p(*) as standard, which is far superior to 720p/1080i.
With an overwhelming computing power of 2 teraflops, entirely new graphical expressions that have never been seen before will become possible. In games, not only will movement of characters and objects be far more refined and realistic, but landscapes and virtual worlds can also be rendered in real- time, thereby elevating the freedom of graphics expression to levels not experienced in the past. Gamers will literally be able to dive into the realistic world seen in large screen movies and experience the excitement in real-time.
In 1994, SCEI launched the original PlayStation® (PS), followed by PlayStation®2 (PS2) in 2000 and PlayStation®Portable (PSP®) in 2004, every time introducing the latest advancement in technology and bringing innovation to interactive entertainment software creation. Over 13,000 titles have been developed by now, creating a software market that sells more than 250 million copies annually. PS3 offers backward compatibility enabling gamers to enjoy these enormous assets from PS and PS2 platforms.
PlayStation family of products are sold in more than 120 countries and regions around the world. With cumulative shipments reaching more than 102 million for PS and approximately 89 million for PS2, they are the undisputed leaders and have become the standard platform for home entertainment. After 12 years from the introduction of the original PS and 6 years from the launch of PS2, SCEI brings PS3, the newest platform with the most advanced next generation computer entertainment technology.
With the delivery of Cell based development tools that has already begun, development of game titles as well as tools and middleware are in progress. Through collaboration with world's leading tools and middleware companies, SCEI will offer full support to new content creation by providing developers with extensive tools and libraries that will bring out the power of the Cell processor and enable efficient software development.
Preparations are under way for launch of PS3 and new generation software in the spring of 2006.
(*) 1080p/720p/1080i: "p" stands for progressive scan method, "i" stands
for interlace method. 1080p is the highest resolution within the HD
standard.
"SCEI has continuously brought innovation to the world of computer entertainment, such as real-time 3D computer graphics on PlayStation and the world's first 128 bit processor Emotion Engine (EE) for PlayStation 2. Empowered by the Cell processor with super computer like performance, a new age of PLAYSTATION 3 is about to begin. Together with content creators from all over the world, SCEI will accelerate the arrival of a new era in computer entertainment."
