I don't agree but I don't blame them for trying. 360 has more potential graphically (any way you slice it, 512MB ram available for graphics vs 256MB for PS3 is an advantage), but PS3 has more storage for cinematic.

srry couldn't help it but ps3 has 2 dedicated 256mb. 360 has one 512mb that has to do everything, having 2 dedicated ram makes it really efficient.

Yes, I noticed somebody criticize people falling for Sony PR spin, then they fall for MS one about UMA (by no means an innovation, it's widely used in motherboards with built-in graphics and it's normally considered a cheaper solution, although XB360 implementation is somehow more sophisticated).

About PS3 graphics superiority, I don't know, if they're talking about GPU power,maybe they believe with time Cell's SPEs will be used more to help, otherwise maybe they mean that BD's bigger space allows for storing wider environments with more detailed graphics, while to do this XB360 would need multiple discs, but actually, trying to give an univocal meaning to PR speech perhaps is a wasted effort.

"Yeah, but the Yahoo blog is comparing Fable 2 and Gears 2 to MAG, God of War 3 and DC Universe Online."

It was also comparing them to InFamous a game which is confirmed to be out in March of 2009 and which seems to really have impressed the author.

he is technically right. when developers actually take da time to work hard on da PS3 hardware, da PS3 does have better graphics.
but even though i agree with him in that sense doesnt mean that i think his statement was stupid.

Okay everyone, let's play a game, it's called 'Let's try and make sense of Sony's clumsy and embarassing PR so we can defend them!'

I think someone needs to show him that Nintendo is the one doing the leading, and that the 360 is doing the technical thing on the PS3's bootay.

And good luck on getting those PS2 owners to upgrade when they've already gone to the Wii and are wondering why they wouldn't be able to play their PS2 games on the PS3...

This is the same kind of PR BS that very nearly killed the PS3 and shat on Sony's rep before the console even came out. Just get those morons fired already!

Please, The numbers the Wii are pulling are not from a previous generation like PS2 or XBOX or GC. Its from a new segment of casual gamers, no one period has started to make in roads on the PS2 user base, should still be a year or so out before a good portion of them start switching.

I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

This space Reserved for the Nuggets of Wisdom dropped by Bladeforce:

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

I've seen surveys to the effect that a higher PERCENTAGE of PS2 owners said they'd be brand-loyal and buy PS3 than the percentages of XBox and Gamecube fans that said they'd be brand-loyal to MS and Nintendo, respectively. PS2 just had the widest market.

The PS2 owners haven't bought a next-gen console en masse, yet.

PS2 owners can't play their PS3 games on Wii, either. ;)

Here is the link that crumas2 asked me to post. This blog was on Yahoo's main page in the days following E3. It actually doesn't say that Sony's Conference made the 360's games look old but that they make the 360's "lineup of Fable 2 and Gears of War 2 look a little tired."

http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/e3-2008/e3-2008-blogs/1227326/6

I think the difference is, MS concentrated on games that people can actually buy in 2008.

And 2007. And hence way more of their big games are already released. And PS3 is still outselling. As the PS3 huge releases contintue to roll out, the momentum for PS3 will only increase.
