Mistake in my previous post.

No, SNES wasn't the strongest, but it also wasn't the weakest. That's why you were incorrect when saying "the weakest system always won".


Of the two that mattered at all, the SNES was the stronger.  I assume you're referring to the Neo Geo as being more powerful?

And yeah, N64 > PSX by far.  Hardware-wise, anyway.  I'm always surprised by the number of people who have this backwards.

 

@Enos, a lot of people also foolishly believe that the PS3 is leaps and bounds ahead of the 360.

I don't understand why this is a groundbreaking statement. We knew that when the PS3 was released?

Alot of people still foolishly believe the 360 is as powerful as the PS3, this is the only way to educate them.


 Ehh, I'm pretty sure when third party killer apps start coming out the difference in graphics will become more and more noticeable.

I don't think anyone seriously believes that. It's obvious looking at the technical specs that the PS3 is more powerful. The argument is whether the PS3 has more power that is applicable to creating games than the Xbox360, of which the answer is "who knows?".

The Cell is a very special processor that is not as capable in many fields as the Xenon (or Xenos?) in the 360. Whether this power can be tapped for many required feilds of gaming (AI, Physics, etc) remains to be seen.

It's also pretty well documented that the Xbox360's GPU is more advanced than the PS3's, so theoretically it should be able to produce more pretty, but of course this is offset by the Cell's vector units which should be able to perform many GPU tasks quite well.

So taking this black and white "PS3 is more powerful than Xbox360" view is just stupid. It may be able to perform more teraflops but that just means it can perform more teraflops.This means nothing for how good it is as a gaming machine, which ultimately is the most important thing.

Also, it's "a lot". 2 words. Just thought I'd clear that up. 

 



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

No, it wasn't. Compare 3D games in which you can rotate the camera it is obvious which system is the more powerful.

As for Soriku's comment: the strongest system never won would be correct. For example the SNES wasn't the weakest system of its generation.


SNES was strongest? Really? Well, doesn't matter when you have all third-parties backing you up lol (seeng as how NES won, it was bound they'd support SNES too, and besides, Nintendo still followd their same plan like with the NES: Expand the market).

Oh.


So which one was stronger than SNES?  Neo-Geo shouldn't count.  And which was stronger than NES?  Do you refer to Genesis?

I have a feeling they will change their tune when they see GHIII sales.

 What do you mean by that exactly?

Are you saying sales might be bigger for microsoft than sony?

Will more GHIII copies be sold to Sony   - PS2, and PS3 (which has wireless controllers) 

or to xbox360

 And to the Genesis/SNES debate, it was kinda like this: Genesis was faster with more raw horspower, but SNES was more advanced, could display more sprites, more color depth, better sound chip, etc... sounds familiar right?

Strictly speaking, the Genesis + CD was equal to or stronger than the SNES in every area except colors on screen

Sega CD and 32X are in the same category as Neo Geo.
