Gaming - Bethesda n PS3 - View Post

Next time Sony should release a console with a decent amount of RAM rather than release a console to push out their technology (blu ray and Cell in this instance). If Sony hadn't been so arrogant than the PS3 would've been easily more powerful than the 360 from day one. The CPU could've been better without having to resort to the expensive Cell. A faster DVD drive than the 360 would have sufficed rather than an expensive and slow 2 x blu ray. The GPU could've been better since Sony could have picked a better one due to the money they'd save by using off the shelf components or similar. They could have increased the RAM allocation or unified it ala 360 by going for GDDR3 RAM throughout rather than expensive RAMBUS main RAM. With these simple measures the PS3 (if released a year later like it did so as to allow for the better hardware) would have trounced the 360 in every single multiplatform game H2H's with ease and still have the better looking exclusives.

Blame Bethesda all you want for releasing a game not suited to the PS3 hardware but Sony is at fault too for their paltry RAM allocation (which is probably the reason Skyrim has major issues on PS3).
