Only in MikeB's world would the PS3 be on par with a console with a Shader 5 GPU and 1 GB of RAM.

Well I must be in MikeB's world (who is that anyway?) becuase the Cell will still have it beat on physics despite its limitations. If the physics are good then the animation possible on the system will be better. Don't see that happen with a six core whatever (unless someone is implying the Cell is going to be in the nextbox.) You can have as detailed models graphically as you want, but realistically if your high polygon models with shader whatever support don't move in a lifelike manner then your graphics are crap. If M$ really is releasing a new console then they would do well to make sure their new CPU can handle better physics rather than higher res textures and lighthing.

M$ is a little scared if they are releasing a new console this soon, but based on the specs I would compare it to the Sega 32X. It most likely won't do as well, but of course I think the specs listed are fake.


IT'S NOT A NEW CONSOLE!!!! FUCK!!! Why do people keep saying that??? Anyways dude, you seem like a guy who believes and overplays the "difference"between the 360 and PS3's graphical capabilities. Truth is the difference is minuscle at best.

I have a friend whose a ps3 owner and big sony fanboy and although he knows about the 360 and it games somewhat he's never experienced them for himself. He has owned a ps3 since Jan 07 and owns their best games. I purchased my 360 the week of GoW 2's launch and bought gears in it's midnight launch. So this was circa Nov 2008. About 2 weeks later he came over one night and I convinced him to try out gears 2 online and he agreed wanting to prove he could dominate us 360 owners. When I popped in gears and the online match started he had the most reaction fueled, jaw dropping type of wow. You'd have to be there, but if you were, you'd no his wow was purely reaction, with no thought. Besides if he had stopped to think he would have withheld his impression of the game's graphics. At the time I owned a 36 inch CTR tube tv made by Sharp. It was purchased in late 2001.

If his PS3 is so superior to my 360, why did the 360 impress him so profoundly it mustered a reaction? My friend's favorite franchise is the MGS franchise and he bought MGS4 as soon as it was available. He was no stranger to the PS3's power.
