This will never end will it? Honestly, would it make any of you feel better if your console was slightly stronger than the other one? Does it really matter? Is it like some consolation prize? It's not like it would change anything either way.

i was addressing imperial by the way

Indeed. Guys, don't forget that seeing the PS3 declining sales (-38 % yearly in the US) is putting the revenue of EA at risk as well.

EA doesn't want to rely only on Nintendo and Microsoft.

Last year they annonced that PS3 was the std plateform for development and I'm not sure it is the situation now.

I wouldn't trust those guys...

My god... I have a counter part and that is... Crysis 2 pushes PS3 to "limits"

Not my words, but the words of Cevat Yerli, the creator of Crysis and the CryEngine.

"The interesting thing is we did run a performance analysis on the PS3 devkit, and you know the funny thing is the occupation on all the CPUs, the Cell and the SPUs, is pretty much - the needle is at the limit," Crytek boss Cevat Yerli told Gamasutra.

"There's not much more you can do, and frankly the breakthrough was very recent, and otherwise we would've had a compromised strategy on the consoles, which we don't have now.

"So I think we will still have an upside, but we're touching the hardware limits already," he added.

And the most important part: 

Crytek is known for its technical excellence, and we also quizzed Yerli on his impressions of the differences between the two HD platforms. "I mean essentially the game we run is about the sam," he said. "Probably one's stronger on the GPU side, one's stronger on the CPU side, so depending on what you're doing where, the PS3 does perform here sometimes better, the 360 performs other things better, but overall by the time the game ships it'll be absolutely the same."

Now we can all agree, all that talk of the PS3 being so super powerful is just nonsense. This is a pro graphics maniac talking here, who spent 3 years researching the consoles to come to this conclusion, so anyone who says he's wrong is just a blind fanboy. Ok? Good. Thnx bye.

uhhu..... So it's maxed out again....

haven't we heard this b4???

We are oh so lucky to be graced by his presence.

1. Yeah, I think Sony has finally gotten wind of this and are reducing the amount of time from announcement to release. We'll see though. It used to work wonder for them back in the day when it came to hyping games.

2. That really sucks. I feel for you. I think even my parents have better internet speed then that.

3. My point still stands that there are racing sims on the PS3. You made it sound like there were none. I'm of the opinion that Prologue is good for a demo. But yes, 360 has a good number of quality racing sims, I won't argue that.

LMAO, everyone can ignore MikeB, he has proven himself MANY times that he is one of the biggest PS3 fans on the site, see my signature for details.....

@Squilliam:
Even if I don't like MS, I can't deny that a tri-core PPC and that Radeon GPU were a very intelligent choice. And we all know that main XB4*π/2 faults are low-tech parts, solderings and cooling and optical drive's mechanics not enough motion-proof, hi-tech parts like its most complex chips are very fine.

His given reason was that I wasn't allowed to reply to his post of allegations to which he said I couldn't reply in public (IMO moderator abuse an an excuse to do what he did).

1) I pointed out his behaviour here at VGChartz (I think this is the primary reason for the ban)

2) I debunked one of his points, claiming companies like Dreamworks and Paramount had a clear preference for HD DVD. Pointing out Dreamworks was paid 100 million USD and Paramount 50 million USD for timed exclusivity.

3) I pointed out that his allegation of me selling PS3s being false. In no way have I ever sold a PS3 and most likely never will. (This is really something he shouldn't have deleted, I think I have full right to counter such false claims). But it's a strange point still as he never attacked nor criticized a Pegasos dealer posting very often in extreme support of the Pegasos/MorphOS (and attacking the AmigaOne and AmigaOS4 developers) at AmigaWorld (a friend of him, a fellow New Yorker).

Nothing more an nothing less was stated in the posting for which I was banned by him.
