Forums - Sales Discussion - Playstation 3: An Under Rated System

a.l.e.x59 on 18 May 2007

If Xbox 360 is capable of running games with better graphics than the Playstation 3, than that is just embarassing, because Sony focused on graphics more than its competitors. If the Playstation 3 doesn't have the graphics, than what does it have? Right now, Nintendo has the controller. Xbox 360 has the games. Playstation 3 should have had the graphics. I don't understand how a game on an HD DVD disc could be better than a game on a Blu-Ray disc.

 PS3 games came out of the gate using most of the system's power (Motorstorm).

 

WTF

 Lair is only using %40  of PS3s power, Motorstorm only uses like 15% of the SPUs power.

True that, but that could lead to its downfall as well.

 Dreamcast.

Developers are underestimating the power of the Playstation 3, therefore, they aren't using its maximum power.

Stop making stuff up please. That is just plain nonsense.

The PS3 GPU is pretty much crap compared to the 360 GPU and during the console's lifetimes it will show. It doesn't mean there's not going to be very nice, well made titles for PS3. It just means that if you put an equal amount of effort and talent (which is what matters the most) in developing a PS3 and 360 title, the 360 title is going to look better. The Cell isn't going to save it when it comes to graphics.

 

Ok.... Please have facts to backup your own statements. If you can accuse someone else of making stuff up, you are no different if you dun have proof of your self made theories. Anyone can say anything! Whether it is true or not, please have some proof.

 The PS3 can be converted to a home nuclear reactor to power your house for 100 years. - My own rubbish, just like yours.

For people that doesn't have to worry about money. $200 more is just spare change to them. For majority of others, that can cover a lot of bills.

Kind of depressing how 95% of one's wages are spent on intangible things.

Also, unlike the Xbox 360, doesn't have a CD tray. Instead, you put the CD in a slot, and it gets sucked right into the system. I don't know what its called, and I'm too lazy to look up the proper name of the mechanism on the Internet. So I'll just call it the "CD sucker thingy."
 
Just FYI: It's called a slot-loading mechanism.

Why do I need to give you the facts? Can't you surf the Internet yourself? It's not like I am the only person who knows the technical specifications of the system. Go to www.wikipedia.org, and read the facts yourself. My thread has no connection to the Playstation 3. My thread is long enough already. To include facts, of which I assumed everyone already knew, would only increase its size. I didn't think adding more information to my thread would be that important. Go to www.wikipedia.org, and look at the technical specifications of the Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.

Playstation 3's GPU = 550. Xbox 360's GPU = 500.

And I know someone is going to complain about that statement, saying it means nothing. Well, there are other facts that show that the Playstation 3 is superior, graphical wise, to the Xbox 360, which can be found on www.wikipedia.org.

Stop asking me for the facts. Look it up yourself. I am not a Sony employee for crying out loud. Just because I didn't put all of the facts in my thread, doesn't mean they don't exist. What I say doesn't affect the Playstation 3's technical specifications at all. It exists as it is, and all I tried to do was to highlight its better side. Sheesh, first people criticise me for complimenting the Wii, then the Xbox 360, and then the Playstation 3. Why so much hatred for these systems? Why can't you like them all for what they are? Even if one console is better, doesn't mean that the other one sucks.
