Sony cry: Wii is Just "Impulse Purchase"

[Kwaad]

sieanr I really can't tell what your trying to say by this, except AA makes a big hardware hit and a blurring effect via shader is almost indistinguishable. Neither is true. Shader blurring is noticeable different and rarely used, although how noticeable this is at 480x640 is debatable. AA is really dependent on the hardware, for example the 360's GPU basically gets "free" 4x AA, largely because of the EDRAM. However, doing AA in puts a serious dent in performance.

First off. the 360's GPU has about 25% of it's transistors DEDICATED to AA. (it can do nothing else) That is one way you can *duh* tell the PS3's GPU is faster. It has 5% less transistors, runs at a 30% higher clock speed, and has 0 transistors dedicated to AA. so really that makes the GPU equal... so the PS3's gpu is ~25% faster from those rough numbers. (that is why the 360 does not suffer performance hit with AA, as 25% of it's GPU is dedicated to it) Second. Please send me a link to where the GC is faster in any regard to the PS2. Last time I checked... when I bought my GC. it was about 80% that of a PS2. and about half a X-Box. I agree the PS2 does some crafty stuff to make games look better. But hey, they could always make games like 90% of GC games, and just use 4k textures, and mediocore polygon counts, and call it a 'unique' art style. and run at 25% power. (i'm sorry I dont complain about games like that, but I dont feel they look as good as GodofWar. I really like RE4 for the GC. However, RE4 was made for the GC. the Ported to the PS2. Because of that, it was optimized for the GCs hardware. meaning if the PS2's version looks 'almost' as good, it can brute-force a GC. :) You wanna talk about graphics. FF10 looks FAR better than RE4. Dont even THINK of comparing FF12. I seriously, NEVER expected anything like that from the PS2. Wich is actually why it should be compared. FF12, best looking PS2, vs. RE4. Best looking Nintendo. (I say nintendo, because I think it looks better than anything announced for Wii yet) And let's compare FF12 to FF13. FF12 is to FF7 as FF13 is to FF12. :)
