When will we get 1080P as a standard?

next gen for consoles, 2 generations ago for pc

Nah, it's not standard for all PC games at all. There are really no real standards on the PC at all. Try to run Crysis in an equivalent of 1080p on the PC on hardware from 2 generations ago.

There are lots of standards on the PC.

To be fair, a midrange card from two generations ago on the PC is exactly what the PS3 is using. It's very slow and shitty compared to a PC (the PS3, I mean is slow and shitty compared to a PC), but that's expected as the PS3 is a video game toy and no one expects it to be competitive with real computers.

 

What?

Within a couple of years PS3 games will run circles around what most currently sold PCs are able to achieve by that time. Cell and Blu-Ray are going to make a long term difference.

You honestly believe that in a few years the PS3 will outperform Crysis rigs sold today?

Wow. Sony really must be developing for 4D because given the specs on the PS3 right now, that kind of performance would have to involve wormholes and time manipulation, both of which will still probably require more than 512 megs of RAM.
