Processing wise, I can believe what he is saying. PS3 does laps around the 360 on the CPU side, and 360 does the same to the PS3 on the GPU side. What it really comes down to, and this is strickly a graphics argument, is memory. Now I am not saying 360 could not play games like Uncharted 2, Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, or God of War, but I am saying that they can never match a truly PS3 pushing title graphics wise.

Developers internal to Sony have been using the Standard HDD in the PS3 to massivly increase the amount of data on screen at once. Naughty Dog has claimed to use up to 200MB of virtual RAM in the first Uncharted. With the quality of the textures, shades, shadows, and overall atmosphere of U2, I believe they have push this technique even further. The only reason this is possible on PS3 is because, they have a HDD on every system, and they have the storage capacity of Blu-ray.

As many people have said, these consoles do not lack in processing power. The only thing holding back the PS3 and 360 is memory, and well written code. The PS3 just has the oppertunity to deliver more data on screen, thanks to the decisions made by Sony.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
