Sonic said:What insiders believed it would do less than 1 million poly's a sec? Even people at the DC Technical Pages knew it was going to be able to do far more polys a sec than that. Of course they did have some leaked info thanks to one poster, but that's a different story. If the DC could do more than a million pps, PS2 coming out later would be able to beat that by quite a bit.
LogisticX said:I remember that too... I actually think I read a 20 mpps figure from PSM, although to my recollection they may have thought that to be an initial (first gen title) figure
At this time, I don't think anything on the market has hit that 20 mpps figure, but some have probably gotten pretty close at times (Ratchet and Clank perhaps).

I am sorry to hear that ( hope you guys can reconciliate and the break-up is not definitive )...
fbg1 said:What I'm most curious about is how one will program PS3. People had a hard enough time figuring out PS2, PS3's Cell architecture with a core+multiple VU's (8 VUs?) sounds like a bitch. I'm no game programmer, though. Anyone have any informed speculation on this?

Well, there's a first time for everything I guess. Are you actually insinuating that the PS2 went well beyond pre-release expectations? IMO, it didn't remotely come close.
