This is a violation of code 12345335433. "The PS2 is and will forever remain the best console!" |
I agree with Sephiroth357.

You agree with code 12345335433.
the best console carries with it the best game.
Gran Turismo 3 is the best game.
therefore i agree with code 12345335433
| Sega Saturn | Playstation 3 | |
| Last Minute Hardware Decisions |
The Saturn was originally supposed to have only 1 SH2 processor. They decided in the last minute to add a second SH2 processor, which in turn made it harder to program for the system. It now had 2 processors working in parrallel. Some developers didn't even use the second SH2 processor. |
The PS3 originally wasn't supposed to have a GPU in the system. It was supposed to use the Cells to do all of the processing. In the last minute they decided to add the RSX chip, which wasn't originally designed to be in the system. Just like the Saturn, some developers don't even use all of the Cells. The combination makes it hard to program for. |
| Price | The system was way overpriced at launch. | The system was way overpriced at launch |
| First Pary Offerings | Slow and far between | Slow and far between. |
| 3rd Party Support | Third party support is slow. Some games are released after Playstation version. Most of the time the games aren't up to par with the Playstation version. | Third party support is slow. Some games are released after 360 version.

| Main Purpose | 2D powerhouse. No system in the 32/64 bit generation could touch it. | Dubbed as a Blu-ray player and gaming machine. Blu-ray will provide massive amounts of storage for better textures and sound. |
| The Reality | The 2D generation was out the door and the 3D generation just started. They tried to compete as a 3D machine when it wasn't built to be one. | The Blu-ray drive is slow. It's a bottleneck. What good is it to have high def textures and sound, when it can't read it fast enough? Enter the mandatory installs. The system's RAM allocations also prevent too much high res textures to be loaded at one time. Another bottleneck that prevents Blu-ray from giving all it's got. |
@Pbroy Best post so far and an excellent read...

Definately agree a great post though I remember the Saturn having a decent amount of first party offerings over it's lifespan. Sega did release quite a good number of games for the Saturn.
i think if we do some similarities, PS3 is like Gamecube, using different media compare to others console.
and not dreamcast, to this day i think dreamcast is better than ps2, and ps2 killed dreamcast.

Dreamcast started the whole CPU+GPU combination. It also started the move towards online gaming with consoles, with built in modems. Microsoft followed in the Dreamcast's footsteps on how to build a console.
It did put out better graphics than the PS2, due to the use of a GPU. Sony was going to try and pull the same thing they did with the PS2, with the PS3, and not include a GPU, until they saw the 360s specs.
PS3 is made by Sony.
@ pbroy - where did you get that info? interesting read.
