Yes, it is quiet precise, without your spin, he said exactly that the GPU is the problem with the PS3 in that video, and for that reason, a lot of other devs consider it the lowest denominator, which is not the case for Crytek who's now able to use the Cell correctly, he's simply boasting about it and saying "We are the shit, I dare anybody do better than us on the PS3." That was all.

Uh the weak GPU was just a note he was pointing out that it was weaker and they had to use the CPU to assist, it doesn't really have much to do with them calling it the lowest denominator, he was just talking abou how the engine works on PS3.

In essence, if you want to do the GPU comparison in-between the RSX and the Xenos in computer terms, it's pretty much Shader Model 3 vs 4, in raw performace, the RSX is faster, but when you are talking about shaders, the 360 GPU is much more capable, to offset that problem, you need to do some of the work on the Cell, which results in the problem of more difficult programing, is the reason as to why the PS3 is being percieved that way.

Uh if i want to do a GPU comparison i'd sooner compare the games and leave the on paper stuff exactly where it is.

it's not exactly news that the PS3 is capable of at least 360 and beyond graphics, and with better physics prowlness, it's simply the more powerful machine.

For a supposedly more powerful machince, it's certainly curious why most games released this year tend to run better on the "less powerful" machine...and if the PS3's least is 360 level graphics, how come I can't get the 360 bare minimum performance for Bayonetta or Ghostbusters, Resident Evil 5, Dirt 2 or Assassins Creed on PS3? Surely that means the PS3's least, is less then the 360s least...so it would be less..erer.

I had this kind of argument with some other person before with the Wii's TEV vs. Xbox's NV2A, who really believed that the Xbox, given 10 years, can be better than Wii's full force in 10 years despite major bottlenecks in the Xbox design on the graphics front. Which is much more abstract than this one right here.

TBH such theoretics are pointless anyway without the performance to back it up. If we had official Wii specs it'd be easier, but from what they are rumoured to be, in theory it should be able to do more than an Xbox 1 since it has more RAM and what not...and yet I can't really see anything on the system the Gamecube did not do and there's nothing really like Ninja Gaiden, Doom 3 or Chaos Theory on Wii.

If the Wii had higher performance, no-ones making use of it.

Still theory hasn't really worked out this gen, the PS3 was supposed to have the best multiplatform games on paper, but it doesn't...and blu-ray's throughput means it's supposed to move data faster then a 12x DVD and yet it doesn't, instead relying on mandatory installations.

 Ask anybody else on this forum to read or listen to what he said front of back in that video,

Oh, you mean the PS3 forum? TBH i wouldn't put my faith on their neutrality if they re-named it's Neutral Joe McNeutral, winner of this years Mr Neutral Forum of the year.

tbh I don't think he's even being serious, I don't know where he got that crytek thinks of the PS3 as the lowest denominator when the guy cleared said they don't think of it that way, dood's prolly just messing around.

Uh, where did he clear it up? Point it out or transcribe it like I did with time indexs if you would.
