You just wait until the PS3 starts running Crysis at 1080p 120 fps with textures better than a SLI setup.

@ NJ5

Crysis will probably lead to various multi-platform sacrifices, but I think the core engine will do fine on the PS3 (it's a pretty well designed game engine and the Crytek team is technically very talented).

Running '1080p @ 120 FPS' vs '720p @ 720p @ 60 FPS' or rock solid 30 FPS is not a real game changer. Real game changers are for example more complex gaming worlds, more onscreen activity, better AI, better physics, special effects and such.

The PS3 can do such things better technically, but considering this is a multi-platform title I think it's unlikely we will see much or anything to this extend. The same with regard to Blu-Ray capacity, I don't think they will add (much) better gaming assets or include improved 7.1 surround audio, etc.

So I think the 360 and PS3 version of Crysis will be about the same, but quite good technically compared to most multi-platform titles.

I guess being a 'vivid' supporter of technology means you don't need to know anything about technology itself. PC games have no need for bluray, Core i7s beat the shit out of the Cell (essentially a stripped down PowerPC core +SPUS) at most tasks that matter - everything else a modern day GPU can do far better. And if the x86 architecture is obsolete then what about the Cell? Sony has dropped it, and its future looks to be nothing more than a novelty, a design dead end if you will that may one day be used in a couple of embeded solutions. If its lucky.

And quit posting this amiga crap again. Nobody gives a fuck. Go make a thread in the general section, maybe you'll find someone who can tolerate your irrelavent comparisions between the amiga and ps3. Maybe.

Two better examples would be.

Does Big Mama's house achieve more then Citizen Kane because it made more in theatres in actual dollars not adjusting for inflation

Or does a movie theatre in Paris France outperform a Movie theate in Paris Ohio because it oversells a movie by 1 person. 

Either way, it's kinda of a pointless argument when the movie thatre in Paris France has undersold the Paris Ohio movie theatre by a few million.

Innovation is not the same thing as technology advancement.

It's possible to be innovative while using age old technology.

*clasps hands together* interesting...

Look dude, we are on SALES web site in SALES forum disscussion. When we say asystem performed better,here we mean it outsold something.

I wonder how good where the PS1 sales in it's first 3 years to be on par with PS3.

I'd like to have a graph on both 3 sony consoles LTD sales.

There's a Spin here.

Comparing a system(PS3) to another that hadn't that much of spectacular sales before a certain period (PS1) doesn't make that system a lot better from thin air because the old system wasn't selling that good till a certain point after 3~4 years in the market.

For a reason no one compares PS3 sales with PS2 sales, because there, the scenario is much different.





Who's with me?

Congrats to Sony !

PS3 is very successful. I couldn't say if it's more or less successful than PS1, I'd say both are equally successful.

Now PS3 has the potential to sell even more in the years to come...

Like MikeB said, it's good to see a technically advanced product succeed. PS3 definitely helped Bluray succeed as a superior format even compared to the dead HDDVD.

Something the PC market wasn't able to achieve.

Nobody says there aren't more powerful PCs today, but they cost a lot more and Sony both has top level content AND advanced technology. PC market now lacks content... You've got a handful of 360 / PC games like Mass Effect 2 but otherwise, piracy definitely hurt this market contentwise.

Yes there's spin, the same spin that Crazzyman was using when comparing PS3 to PS2 (due to the staggered launches). That comparison eventually got derailed when the negative factors caught up, which is why you don't see many people using it anymore.

There's also what Kasz216 said, of course...

PS1 = first place

PS3 = third place (second if everything goes well for Sony)

PS1 = 66% market share

PS3 = nowhere near 66% market share

Sorry but they're not equally successful, even if someone found a way to get PS3 sales to appear similar to PS1 sales.
