Can I just say I hate the term future-proof... and it has no place in this debate.

No man made piece of information technology will ever be future proof.

The VAST majority of information technology is out of date the day it hits the shelves.

Dont believe the hype.


What I am saying is that the ps3 is more futureproof than the competition which makes the term "future-proof" viable in this debate, since the more future-proof something is the longer it can carry on selling for!!!

Therefore your comment is invalid...

Well... if we are talking about relative "future proof"ness then...

It will likely be the least "future proof" the day next gen systems launch, thereby rendering the basis of your reasoning.... invalid.  

ah i was waiting for the biggest closet xbox fanboy to make an appearance....hello kowenicki!!!

how is that remotely fanboyish...

oh... btw... reported. 

i have been reading all your posts in the thread. Aw cant take a little innocent slagging?You are quick to tell people their oppinion is flat out wrong, you always want to be right. and when someone calls you up on something, you are quick to ban, a little unfair i think. I love it,its like being back in school. When someone says something bold about you, you tell the teacher.Well when i get unbanned i will continue this with you.

when its all said and done i believe ps3 ll surpass 360.It stupid to ignore the fact 360 launched earlier a year,year and a half, but say this gen ends when next console launches.Every1 ll look at overall sales.ps3 still has to hit 199,99$ points while 360 has only left 99$.its ridiculous but many people still find ps3 a luxury.

I might be wrong but at current ration ps3 outsells 360 400,500k per month.It something doesnt boost 360 sales(price cut,natal)and ps3 keeps this momentum i say ps3 ll surpass it by summer 2011.

Actually, the 360 is already in third place if you allign launches.

Now I know some folks will dismiss such a comparison, so I'll also point at active installed base. There are millions of 360s out there that stopped working for plenty of reasons, be it RRoD or a disk read error.

In reality the PS3 is already ahead, but that's hard to accept for certain people.


Just wondering... is this "active installed base" taking into consideration the millions of ps3's not bought for gaming, but bought for blu ray use, therefore not considered "active" in terms of the context?

ps3 bought 4 blueray cant be compared to 360 bought as replacement.EVERY1 i know with 360 bought it 2 or more tiems,including

myself

A lot of assumptions and generalisations in your post, all of which are wrong.  I can't ban anyone for a start.  When you give an opinon do you think it is right? if not... then why give it?  

I never used to report people... I too likened it to school ground finger pointing... but after being banned a few times on the back of some petty reporting I thought I'd join in... I never make any personal insults though like you just have, I may call people out but I never insult.   Personal attacks is the only thing I do think people should be banned for.  If someone thinks game x or console y is shit and says so I dont have any issue with that at all.  Now who is the most grown up? me or the person who reports for offending a game or collection of plastic and microchips?

In your head they may be wrong but i got my "assumptions" purely from your posts on threads. I didnt one day decide, hold on i will annoy this guy. Remember someones opinion cannot be wrong because it is an opinion at the end of the day. Yet you say to people that their opinion is wrong. If you never reported people in the past, why go down to their level and start now??

I have nothing against you man, you seem like an extremely intelligent guy, just the way you prove your point by putting other peoples opinion down seems wrong to me. Thats just my opinion, i know ill be banned for saying all this but thats the way it goes on this site.

I don't think the 360 will stay ahead cause i think ps3 is more future proof with blu-ray and the cell processor, however only time will tell if the 360 can keep up or not

I always think statements like this are funny, since digital distribution is the future, and absolutely nothing is moving towards the cell.

 Yeah because Multicore is never gona get big, what with big hot power hungry single core CPU's being all the rage right now.  And AND Im also totally  looking forward to downloading 100GB 7.2 1080p PS4 / xbox720 games.

 

/sarcasm

Multicore is the future - but does this mean you believe only the PS3 is multicore? The PS3 has a number of specialized cores, which is very different from the 360's identical cores. Identical cores are easier to program for, and are what computers use - so I reiterate that nothing is moving towards the cell.

 

As for 100GB games, first of all, even next gen I expect a relatively small number of games to be that large. The ONLY games that take up anywhere near the space of a Blu-Ray are ones with tons of pre-rendered cinematics. I expect the future, having more processing power, will take an approach more like Mass Effect 2 - very few prerendered scenes, and cinamatics done in-engine. This could easily keep next gen games under 25gb, with some RPGs and such as exceptions. Also, internet speeds get faster and faster, so why not? Currently I can downloada normal sized game in under an hour, and what's more, you never have to worry about swapping discs. Also, faster load times. Heck, I install my games on the harddrive anyway.

Why does it matter? As long as the PS3 cannot beat the Wii it changes nothing;p

Nothing beats the Wii... ever. :>

It doesnt really matter because wii has it in the bag, but being the console that comes last will feel bad for the company i presume. I feel 360 will keep the lead over ps3 but only by a margin. Halo: Reach i feel will not be a system seller because anyone who wanted halo wouldhave bought an xbox for halo 3. But you never know

400k a month was when slim/pricecut was new and during a holiday season. It's not maintaining anywhere near that at this point.

Also, launching a year earlier carries as many disadvantages as advantages, by this point, it should be ignored. If the 360 launched a year later, it would have better specs (which would likely give it the edge over the PS3) as well as better construction, and no RROD. If the PS3 was not the fastest system (but still launched as the most expensive) and 360 had no RROD holding it back, that would hardly have been to the PS3's benefit. (Especially since the 360 only sold 5.5 million units that first year)

You wouldnt be banned for saying that and I dont mind that you said it....  I dont mind debate and argument, I mind when people want to debate and then get offended when I disagree with them.

I think we have a communication breakdown here, nothing more.

I love debates and arguments and I never get offended when people disagree with me so im not one of those people you talk about.

I think we started on the wrong foot so im gonna start again.
