    Difference in approach. Around E3 Sony had shipped ~100 development kits. Microsoft had shipped ~4000.

    A lot of Sony E3 stuff is what developers are trying to aim for with final hardware. I don't think devs had final hardware or close to what final hardware would be, besides having a Cell CPU.

    Maybe as an excuse for the underwhelming graphics or/and performance?

    Trying to aim for final hardware. did you forget 1999 when they tried to aim for FF7 CGI and got pixels? did you forget that so quickly about toy story like graphics remark? did you forget Kutaragi saying PS2 emotion engine will replace personal computers the same remark he made about the Cell?

    It's hilarious that someone demands someone to post the whole comments on the magazine saying that the poster is selective, as if the choice for the comments done by EGM editors were fair enough to satisfy the person who demands the above :lol:

    Toy Story graphics remark? Are you talking about MS, because I have yet to find that comment that clearly states Sony will have Toy Story graphics. Did we also forget that the PS2 was a harder to develope for, since it was a totally new and different system?

    Sony has reached most if not all of what it has promised in the graphics department from PS2.

    Mark Rein fuzzy math time!

    Given: X800 XT ~ 6800U

    RSX = 2 x 6800U-SLI
    RSX = 4 x 6800U

    360 Dev kit = 25% 360
    360 Dev Kit = X800 XT
    C1 = 4 x X800 XT

    C1 = RSX

    :lol:

    This thread is going down (flame bait from the get go) so not much more to say. Oh wait, it already went down... Have fun guys ;)

    Ps - I am sure someone is going to argue with my obvious attempt at humor and how it technically is not accurate... meh!!

    The better question is: Why are they allowed to stay?

    The quotes that compare the systems technically, are pretty much all there as far as I can see. There are other positives, but they're not wrt tech.

    And I only posted negatives wrt X360? Look closer.

    Again, I'm sorry if I can't magic up non-existant quotes for you :lol:

    The power behind the PlayStation 2 is the Emotion Engine, its 300-MHz processor, developed by Sony and Toshiba. This chip handles twice as many floating-point operations per second as a 733-MHz Intel Pentium III, which translates to very good graphics, say analysts at MicroDesign Resources. Sony also includes a high-powered graphics synthesizer chip with 4MB of video memory and 32MB of high-speed Rambus memory.



    Hmm i wonder what chip Xbox had

    Ahh we know the answer to that. These people tend to have a more MS slate on things. Certain people want these people here just to down Sony. imho. :?
