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

I'm just gonna post what I did in another thread about your unfounded Krazy Ken worship;

"The PS2 was/is a mess of a system, and the very definition of a rush job. The genuis Krazy Ken did not design the EE/GS to work together or be some sort of super chip, in fact the GS was really an afterthought. Most of the PS2 design time was put into the CPU, then the Dreamcast hit and Sony realized that they couldn't sit on their ass and wait for the design to mature and iron itself out. So, the system was pulled together as fast as possible and consequently it was very poorly put together from a design standpoint. Furthermore, this is the reason why the PS2 went through numerous, major hardware revisions after it launched in Japan but before it hit the US (just a few months)

Really, all of Kutaragis consoles have been "unbalanced" so to speak. The PS1 was designed with 3d in mind, and consequenlty had very poor real 2d performance.

But the part about the PS3 is by far the best. Originally the PS3 was going to be 4 Cell chips all tacked together, each with its own bank of RAM. This design would have the Cell act as both CPU and GPU. However, Sony realized that such a design would be neither offer the cost and performance they needed, so they went shoping around for a GPU. At first they had a plan in the works with ATI, but they weren't happy with that so nVidia offered them a reworked G70 GPU. I really doubt this was part of Ken's "master plan" to use his genuis to make a supersystem.

Cell and RSX working together as "one chip" is no different than the 360, which will also likely have a revision that places the CPU and GPU on the same die."

Please, don't post about shit without knowing what you're talking about. People here aren't stupid, and this is gonna turn into another multipager while you try and argue your outright wrong points.

"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?

This needs to be quoted, both for laughs and truth

That's gonna be my new sig  



You contradict yourself by saying, "Brute power is not enoughf" and then saying "PS3 will win this generation".

On OP :

First thought : Mouahahahah ...

Second thought : unbelievable what certains fanboys need to say / think to be able to sleep...

That reminds me : i can't remember back in 2002 / 2003 the numbers of people claiming that PS2 was more powerful than GC. Today, where are they ? Because today i can't find anybody sustaining such words ...

Do you know that I saw the movie with incredible special effects? Best movie of the year. Who cares about that movie with great story and incredible acting?

I'm not sure I'd call this the "True story about all the systems" as much as "What we would like to believe about all the systems."

I also find the comment that Wii controls are not better to be quite ironic considering it comes only hours after IGN, 1UP, and Gametrailers all say Metroid Prime 3's Wiimote controls far surpass dual analog, and is now the best console shooter control scheme.



Before I read this thread, I know already that the OP is stupid.
I know that, because I read "The Wii is a Gamecube with more RAM ...".
This alone is enough to understand all the rest is stupid fanboy rant soaked in bitter tears.
Or perhaps it tries to be stealthy, but it's so obvious.
Now I will proceed to read this trash.



Poor comparison.



So... who's surprised the only people to agree with OP were kber and finalsqual?
