Why should this even matter?

Are people so vain these days to let something so stupid that matters not to a consumer to enjoy our games any less?

I think you should be more open minded. I fully respect and accept if people stick to preferring a PS2, Wii or a Snes. IMO nothing to be upset about, like you display here. Game consoles are luxury items. Why should someone for example become upset if a neighor buys a big 1080p HDTV, while you pick a small SDTV for your own reasons? (or vice versa) There are good reasons for picking both (having consumer choice is IMO good, so luckily the PS3 isn't much like a Wii), for example due to pricing or for example your VCR, Amiga 500 or Snes looking less nice upscaled compared to on an interlaced display.

More people may be visiting MacDonalds than people who are visiting top restaurants for a varierty of reasons, that does not mean MacDonalds should be the only option available to everyone.

PS3 developers still have a lot of headroom to achieve more, PS3 exclusives already are amongst the most beautiful and best sounding games available on the market (and this including PC games, as Windows gaming has become less relevant over the years).

People do care about specifications, lots of PC gamers upgraded their PCs over the decades, just to play Doom, Quake, Half-Life or whatever better than they did with their previous PC specs. Developers tapping more from the PS3's potential, will not require PS3 owners to upgrade.

 

stop with the pretencious sony PR BS and retarded  food comparisons..do you work for sony?  And we are talking about closed consoles here. As a consumer all we need to know is if the game is good.

PC gaming is not console gaming so what if it's more or less powerful nothing we can damn well do about it. So sit down shut up shell out your money and have fun playing.

Ever since the PS1/N64/Saturn era when 3D was advertised as the main focused it has been infused in our heads and since pushed as if it really matters to us when it doesn't and that sorta thinking has only gotten worse.  

 

I still play games on my NES Game gear Dreamcast and all my older consoles as well as new ones and still enjoy the games just as much. Not saying visuals don't matter as they do influence your gameplay experience but it was never how much power and number of poly's or sprites was used it was how they used what they had.....more more more does not really make things better.

It rarely does but has this massive misconception it does.

 

MadB, er... I mean MikeB is a funnny character.

As you've probably noticed by now he brings up thee amiga at the drop of a hat. He is something of an afficianado for it. Anyways he used to always pull up quotes from various sources that likened the Cell to the Amiga. I mean constantly. As far as I and a couple other people can tell, this is the reason why he bought a PS3 since he wasn't a console gamer before. Combine this with the fact that Microsoft played a not insignificant role in teh death of Amiga and I think you can get a grasp as to where this guy is comming from, as crazy as it sounds.

Oh, and he will always ignore any real valid point you make. See my posts above. Plus ignoring things when hes wrong, typing IMO, being 'polite' through passive-agres..... fuck it.

Living life vicariously through a piece a silicon and plastic is a sad, sad exsistence.
