Forums - Gaming - Power Rankings, The True Story About All the Systems

omgwtfbbq on 27 August 2007

apart from a few other major inaccuracies, I think the whole conception that "Xbox360 is a known quantity" is another glaring mistake in your analysis. Multi-core gaming is still in its infancy, And when the Xbox was released this was even more true. Obviously the main advantage of the Xbox360 over the PS3 was the extra year or so the developers had, but simply stating that the Xbox was "Straightforward" is completely wrong.

All in all, it seems you just picked a few numbers that made the PS3 look good and called it a day without really understanding how the whole thing goes together.



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

Wii
The Wii is a Gamecube with more RAM and 3 times as powerful chip set as the Cube. Not many specs have been released on the system, but their is really nothing to say about it anyway. Nintendo believs that people don't care about graphics, and that they would rather have a cheap console. Works for me, and I know their is know one arguing that this thing can touch the PS3/360. I will only point out one thing. Shane Bentonhouseing said one the 1up Show that if you think that it is good that the Wii has bed graphics, because that means it will have good gameplay, you are delusional.


I'm surprised no one has responded to this yet.

 We didn't think that it was dignified enough to warrant a response...

OMG what a BiaSed post !

You clearly demonstrate you know nothing about these consoles abilities.

Just by reading the first lines about the ps2, everybody can see there will be nothing objective in the following...



Zones : I still don't understand all the love for Blizzard, what was the last game they developed worth playing?

Yep. Graphics do matter. No wonder the Wii is in third place and selling horrible compared to its predecessor.




Wait a sec.....



To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.

Huh. Right now people can disagree with almost every point of original post but... it's ignorance. PS3 has a huge potential. Current situation on the market shows only one thing - no matter how good is your product if you set price too high sale will be sluggish. PS3 is well designed and offer much more than both Wii and X360. Microsoft and Nintendo would be out right now after $599 start while Sony sold more than 4 million consoles. Yes, without software. It's impressive. Sony sells almost 400k units a month right now. Sale will be twice as big after another price drop (to $399 or $349) and this is just beginning. Year two of at least seven (I believe this will be the longest generation because of huge costs both for Microsoft and Sony). Five years. For most of this time PS3 will be cheaper than mere $299. You've seen impressive boost after $599 - $499 price drop and it's nowhere close to sales after another one. Don't celebrate victory dear N supporters. Few battles you won don't guarantee an ultimate victory. This is war.

 Thats the issue isn't it? What exactly is the PS3 well designed for? According to a lot of game developers, it must be a media hub, because its certainly not games.

 It could also just be a trojan horse for Sony's Blu Ray, which so far has shown no signs of being an asset to the console.  Its just making gamers finance the introduction of a video format to the market, finance that should be made by the industry

anyway no, your reasoning is quite fanboyish and not neutral as it should be

so a big fail

bdbdbd, sorry I also does not agree with kbg29, but do you have to call his posting bull shit? And is it necessary to call him a fanboy? If you disagree with him and feel the need to tell anyone, then reply to him, take the points you disagree and make an argument. Everybody can see that he had make an effort to lay down a good argument with a lot of text. You are saying, that it is bullshit and he is basically a fanboy, and all you can come up with are that 3 sentences? And insults?

You're right. I shouldn't have even post in this thread. This just was so unbelievable, that i had to answer something. I should have typed something like Zaphodile did. But there's just so much mistakes and biased views, that it would take me whole day to point out and correct them. So it's much easier to call the post BS, which it is. And the fanboy wasn't targeted to KBG, just a humorous comment to what Game boy said.

@ KBG

"The Box was the Brute Force Powerhouse of last Gen. The fastest chip set, with the Most RAM, in fact double that of the PS2. Why then were its first party games not worlds above the PS2? Simply because brute power is not enoughf."

Are you stating that the PS3 is last generations Xbox?

Holy crap. That's so full of weasels words and other loaded grammar, that I could barely notice your atrocious spelling. Sorry, but you really shouldn't try to write stuff like this.
