For a Sony fanboy as myself... I keep as much of an open mind as I can... and everyone pegs me not only as a Sony fanboy but as annoying...

Don't take anything whole-heartedly... there are worse things that can be said about you...

And at the same time, nobody pegs Perfect Stu as annoying. How interesting...

You know what's even more interesting? The way everybody is declaring that the PS3 is more powerful than the Revolution when we haven't seen any official specs on the Revolution nor have we seen any demos of its games. You can say that Nintendo should have shown all that stuff, and maybe you'd have a good case. But you can't say for certain that the PS3 is really all that much more powerful than other consoles. At this point, I'm not even sure that PS3 games will look all that much better than Xbox 360 games. Once you take Perfect Dark's rather embarrassing showing out of the equation, Xbox 360 screenshots stack up pretty well side by side with PS3 screenshots. It takes a tech-head going over it with a magnifying glass to see the differences.

this can mean one of two things:

a) you're pegging me as annoying, which proves your statement to be false
b) you're expressing how one can be a 'Sony fanboy' without being annoying

which is it?

Well thats the problem with how many look at the extra power, they think oh its graphics!

thats not the way i see the extra power. i mean sure, i love graphics and i love for them to be better, but the way i see the extra power helping out even more doesnt have to do with graphics, it'll be making worlds bigger, it'll be in making many many more enemies on screen at once with better AI. while keeping thoes good graphics.

Take GTA for example, im sure no one would agure all the models in that game the current counsoles could make look MUCH better, i mean they could make cars look like they are in GT4. however they cant do that and have as big of a world as GT has with everything going on at once. The extra power helps to let that happen.

its too be seen how much the extra power helps the games, we wont know till we see the games, however, while some games look pretty much the same on 2 consoles, extra power on one will let a whole lot more happen on screen.
if there proves to be a big difference, which we'll just have to wait and see.

sorry, but cell's processor looks a lot more powerful then the power pc dual base x360 has...

they compared the power in a chart in midst of the techno babble showing cell being able to do a lot more then x360's chipset

Please tell me you're not getting this information from the Sony conference or from anything else hosted by Sony itself. Haven't you figured out by now that believing a company's hype about itself is useless and downright foolish?

But before I get into this more, I just want to hear what your source is.

And Stu, I'll take Option #2 with a side helping of another implication you haven't touched on.

Sony's press conference.... and I don't care what you say.... I don't think they'd downplay the Xbox 360 so much, just to make the PS3 look good.

Maybe.. just maybe.... in god's honest earth ... JUST MAYBE... it's possible that PS3 IS more powerful then the X360 in all aspects?

I don't believe they lied about the power of Cell compared to Xbox 360's chip architecture...... Look at the conference / tech demos / and footage.. you'll see its far superior to the X360....

EDIT: Might I add... the press conference tech demos and videos were being run on unfinished PS3 hardware..... just imagine the final machine.

I'm sorry Kyuzo, I refuse to fall for Sony's big numbers. I'm not saying that it won't be an awesome machine. I just don't think that it's going to be the Second Coming of Christ Hype.
