It is now at the end of this generation of consoles, and we have truly seen what the PS2 can do. It wasn't a blow out, all 3 systems all had their own ups and downs with they could do. Anybody can agrue until they are blue in the face about how great the PS2 is (technology wise), but it did not have an upper hand on Nintendo or Microsoft. Actually, you could make a more solid arguement on how Microsoft and Nintendo made a stronger system.

Now, I'm not a tech head. Not by any means. I take things for what they are. Not by what they can do on paper. And I sure don't take to heart what somebody swears this thing can do on the internet (no offense to anybody here, talking about people around the internet that think they know everything about computers).

I'm trying not to fall into the hype of the gaming systems of the next generation. This goes for Nintendo, MS, or Sony. I've learned not to get my hopes up very much with games or systems. I've just learned that my imagination is far more advance then anything that can be produced. Not saying it never happens (I'm way hyped for TS:FP), but I try.
True, however i really dont see this as hype. this is just talking about the facts of what the processor is. Not how the PS3 will use it. i'd agree with you if in the artical they started talking about how good of graphics it can pull off and all that. but its just really explaining what the cell processor is.

even with PS2, they never hyped up the facts of the processor, they never lied about its speed and such, they just hyped up what the PS2 could do with that speed. same as all the consoles did.
