Bye bye Ps3 Hello 360 (3rd time lucky)

I never said the 360 was better. I was merely pointing out that it's certainly not lagging behind the PS3 in terms of performance and it never ever will. For all the numbers and maths people can pull out, there really won't ever be a marked difference in the performance and appearance of the two consoles. This myth has got to stop.

360's unified memory pool has made development easier again but the gddr 3 system/graphic memory pool is rated 700mhz next to 256 of 3.2ghz rated xdr main memory and 650 mhz gddr3 rsx memory. The xdr will enable more complicated physics/animation routines to be performed by cell ( example uncharted, might not look better than 360 games but animation & physics wise I haven't seen a 360 game like it )

Bigger numbers mean jack squat, and if you're from the PC gaming community, you would be aware of this.

I am aware, and you are right about dispelling myths, there are lots of them for both consoles which seem to influence those without access to the truth on what console they purchase. One truth we can all agree on is wii has the worst graphics lol

Er, no? Are you a slavering fanboy or something? The PS3's hardware isn't any superior to the 360's at all. Do you even know what else there is in the console with the exception of the much overexaggerated-performing Cell? I am still awaiting an explanation from the hordes of Sony 'experts' on how the processer will make up for the 7800's deficiencies instead of being bottlenecked by it. Because I sure as hell has never seen any Core 2 Duos making up for deficiencies on older graphics cards like the PC equivelant of the 7800 series. Anyone who thinks Cell is any different, so much that as you put it, is next gen compared to the 360's processer, is deluded and ignorant.

Have fun. Much disappointment lays ahead for you mate. When I get PS3 games I will expect just as good as what I see on 360, but no better than that.

Obviously people will think this is a trolling attempt, but it's just the plain facts, educating somebody who is blatantly left out of the loop. You could say Edz probably won't be so annoyed anymore when he's realized he's not getting his 4d fix at all.

I wasn't refering to what's instead the box, i.e. CPU/GFX. I was refering to the actual console itself, i.e. the build quality.

And as much as your trying to educate me or others the plain facts are that we don't know at this stage which is the more powerfull console, only time will tell....

As for your fanboy comment, well I'm certainly not one and have posted numerous possitive Xbox comments but the simple fact is that the PS3 has a much higher build quality. If the Xbox was built to the same standard IMO it would be the complete console but unfortunately the hardware is letting the console down and IMO regardless of the cost it's unacceptable.

I'm afraid console breakdowns do not factor in whether or not a console is next gen over another. If that is the only argument you can give for Sony being an eventual winner in this 'war', then that shows a lot about your confidence in the system

Relying on the weaknesses of another system instead of the strengths of your own favoured one.

1) Maybe next-gen is too strong a word, what does it really mean anyway??

2) Large hardware failure's is a pretty big weakness IMO. With most electrical appliances nowadays it seems to be the norm to produce cheap crap, so it's nice to actually find hardware being produced of a high quality

If your happy with your Xbox then that's great, personally I cannot and will not except cheap, badly produced products with a high failure rate regardless of how much cheaper it is than the competitor.

If it was the other way round I would be sitting here with a 360 again, and saying exactly the same about the PS. I have no loyalty to either brand just purely to whether the product deserves my money....

I truely hope the Elite version doesn't have the same failings.
