lol you guys need to chill and accept the fact the PS3 is the strongest system out there, I could give a crap less about sales, especially from this innaccurate site that has the worst rep on the net. just to freshen you guys' memories heres the specs of both systems
-- Hardware -- (PS3)
Cell Microprocessor - 8 Core CPU
Memory - 256MB XDR Main RAM at 3.2GHz
Memory - 256MB GDDR3 VRAM at 700MHz
Overall Performance - 1.8 TFLOPS
RSX GPU - 550MHz
RSX GPU - 24 Pipelines X 5.7 = 136.8 SOPS
-- Hardware -- (X-Box 360)
Xenon - 3 Core CPU
Memory - 512MB GDDR3
Memory - 700 MHz DDR
Overall Performance - 1 TFLOPS
ATI GPU - 500 MHz
ATI GPU - 48 Pipelines X 2 = 96 SOPS |
When building machines, there is a think we high-technalized folks call a "bottleneck."
It means that there is one part of your machine that is holding back the rest and not letting it get any bigger.
Now people can use buzz phrases like how KZ2 only uses 60 percent of a certain part of the machine, and whatnot, but the sad fact it, that a certain part of every machine is keeping the graphics at a certain level, and no amount of efficiency will ever be able to make that one part holding the whole machine back, any better.
The PS3 is a powerful machine.
However, it has a bottleneck. I would guess in the ram or GPU. It keeps its games from looking as good as say, a decent computer, and it keeps its games from looking much better than any game on the Xbox 360.
That's why a lot of games on the 360, and one in particular, Gears of War 2, looks as good as anything ever released on the Playstation 3 so far.
Now, the PS3 graphics will get better, but according to the makers of Gears of War 2, Cliffy B(who knows more about it than you and I), so will the graphics on the Xbox 360.
I'd be willing to bet that eventually, the PS3's last gen graphics for rare exclusives would slightly edge out MS exclusive games, more often than not. However, it's such a small difference that no one would notice except a Sony fan who was looking for justification for his console purchase...like most Sony fans do all the time.
