Gaming - PS3 vs PC - View Post

"There have been developers entirely devoted to the cell processor for nearly 4 years and it hasn't really broken away from the performance of the XBox 360 or a 3 year old PC. Its about time that you admit that the Cell is not a magical, law of physics breaking, processor and it is very similar in performace to the other processors. Certainly, there will be improvements over time as developers work with it, but it isn't a cutting edge gaming system anymore and it never will be again."

I know its all about the games. And the 360 isn't a cutting edge gaming system anymore because after Gears 2 it is basically done. With Microsoft set to debut their new console at the 2009 GDC. They will be shifting their development dollers predominantly over to their new console as well so during the majority of 2009 and leading up to the launch of the next xbox in the fall of 2010, we will also be seeing far fewer cutting edge games making their way to the 360 with Star Ocean, if it can remain an exclusive, being the last one.

However, much as the PS2 did, the PS3 will continue to have most of the best games on the market  developed for it, and by Christmas 2010 it will take away the majority of the current gen console marketshare from Nintendo's Wii as the shortcomings of the Wii will become more and more noticable over time.  Compared to the Wii, the PS3 will always be a cutting edge gaming machine and as the market sees more and more of what the PS3 can bring to its games which the Wii can't due to storage constraints and last gen graphic tech more and more people will become interested in purchasing the PS3.


     The PS3 will continue its dominance through 2011 much as the PS2 did through its lifespan with a drastically superior game library and a much cheaper price than the Next Box which will probably come out with a $700 to $900 price tag in November of 2010; and the PS3 will reign right up until the time Sony replaces the PS3 with the PS4 in 2012, and then the cycle will begin again.
