Well, the gauntlet has been thrown down.......XBox360 becomes XBox180......half the power....and running 180 degrees from the competition. At least fairweather MS fanboys are. Been browsing some of the XBox forums and some of them are in a suspension of disbelief, frankly can't say i blame 'em. We'll see if the paper differences pan out at all.

Asthetic design = subjective, however on paper, the PS3 hardware advantage over the Xbox360's is ~0. Some cpu advantage, however we don't know real world efficiency for either (and assuming 6 SPE's if one is reserved for OS we have ~192Gflops which compares nicely with ~115Glfops for the Xbox360). If the r500 + EDRAM ends up having a significant advantage over the G70 (and the r500 seemsa generation ahead in terms of architecture) then the Xbox360 may very well have some minimal advantage on the screen.
And I loathe Sony-speak so so very much. I wish they would just be honest, and have a Sony engineer give a realistic assertion of the system. Hearing things like 1.9 Tflops of GPU performance makes me want to throw up. Or how about this line (paraphrased): The PS3 supports 1080P as a standard, which is far superior to 720p/1080i. What a load of crap! What, are they really going to render their games internally at 1080P, just to scale them down and output them at 720p? Or are they going to output 1080p and waste processing power, as 99% of TV's can't output that resolution? Assholes, i hate them. Microsoft too though, in a slightly less frustrating way.

So, X360 is slightly concave, and PS3 seems to be convex...
Not sure which one i prefer... PS3 looks kinda fat...
Not gonna comment on the specs, i think enough people are doing that already...
Will Nintendo keep a "straight lines" design? I hope so, these cool-wannabe Ikea inspired curvey lines designs leave me a bit cold...

Nice specs. but it doesn't sound like Dreamcast-ps2 type matchup like everyone predicted. I like the PS3 in some areas over the X360, and in some I like the x360 better. Hard at this point though to get thru the market hype of both and we still know little about the GPUs. I'm glad they both have 512 of ram. I forsee lots of similar looking ports.
Don't car too much for the design. It may grow on me though. It kinda reminds me of an old 3do .... in a weird sort of way. Its not ugly but its not as interesting or inspiring as the ps1 or ps2.
Personally I always liked this one... but Im sure spacewize it would have been impossible..

Heh, to anyone thinking current controllers looked like sex toys for desperate housewives, they will go bonkers when they see this...

The big thing is that GTA will launch with the PS3. I don't know how MS let that happen. I figured they would of learned from this time around how powerfull GTA franchise is. They can try and counter with halo 3 but that is like brining a knife to a tank fight.
