its interesting im starting to notice a pattern in your posts

its like you don't even think the ps3 exists at all or it doesnt count as console for some reason
im curious if you have one tho?

you seem to be really into graphics uncharted 2 and killzone 2 look great, might be worth checking out.

(alan wake does look amazing, a technical achievement)

I think the real reason here is that we've seen the capabilities of the PS3 and have a good idea of what to expect.

The console's power has been explored and touted often. The thing is: we already know this. Not many people know of the graphical capabilities of the 360. They just see the exclusive games that have come out up until this point and see these capabilities not as such, but rather as limitations. This couldn't be farther from the truth and, again we know the PS3 has good graffickz.

He is trying to spread awareness that the 360 can do visuals just as well. The PS3s largest asset is it's cell processor...But most people for some reason believe that this is an all purpose processor and does just about everything.

And I can agree with him that it's unfortunate MS has not taken the opportunity to show of its capabilitiies until now. Sony has a proprietary engine; as far as we know Microsoft does not.

QFT. Somehow people feel the need to brag about the PS3 because it's something "special", but it really isn't anything extraordinary compared to the X360. It has some benefits, but the X360 also has some benefits. Depends on what you're doing. And yet somehow, people still refuse to believe that the X360 is a very capable machine. MS simply has had a different focus. While Sony has usually been about graphics and graphics alone, MS has been focusing more on community etc.
