No its nowhere near bias, the BEST experience IS ON THE PS3. Motion sensing, great online, music,game downloads, blu-ray playback, pictures etc.. The wii cant do most of the things the ps3 can do, and the 360 doesnt have half of the feateres the ps3 has.(By experience Im NO TALKING ABOUT ACTual games just which one is more enjoyable with just one game..)

No, that's opinion and bias.

I think the best experience is on 360 right now. That's my opinion and bias. You're no more right than I am.

@ LingLing

@MikeB: could you please provide some sources of devs that say PS3 is easy to develop for?


You can find public quotes here, here and here.

IMO you''ll soon start to see ever more advanced PS3 game engines. Check out the Ratchet and Clank demo, play the full game to determine the advancements Insomniac has made so soon after their release of Resistance: Fall of man.

 If anyone here has trouble programming the Cell, check out the website of a buddy to ask questions: PS3coderz.com


Your examples were as follows:

- A thread from 2005
- A quote from January 2006, right about the time devs were given SDKs
- A trailer for Lair

WTF? Seriously...

rocketpig, you should know that MikeB is the writer of the following:

"Technically I think the PS3 is powerful enough to render a game like Halo 3 in 1080p at 60 FPS together with additional effects, with twice the content, higher quality 7.1 audio and localization on a single disc.

His faith in all things PS3 is enormous.

Well, at least if he's going to go trailer hunting to reinforce his opinion, he could have gone and found a trailer for a game that didn't suck ass, like Heavenly Sword or something.

Seriously, referencing Lair in an attempt to prove the power of the PS3 is like putting Adolph Hitler as a personal reference on a job application in 1946; it's just bad form and makes you look like an ass.

I wouldn't even have such a big problem with that quote if he presented some justification for it... Heck, some sensible heuristics, calculations, something. But all he does is "predict" what power the PS3 has, without posting any sensible evidence for it. It's all in his "mostly technical" comparison thread:

http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=6963

Reminds me of an argument I had with CrazzyMan about comparing 360 vs PS3's GPUs. MikeB has basically the same kind of credibility, but he can write better English.

You forgot how the PS3 is just like the Amiga.

I have a dirty confession to make...I'm a Software developer and I actually like working with threads...

Now I need to go hide in shame...
