1) If it has numbers in it, and it's from sony, and it relates to how powerful their system is, it must be a flat out lie.

on the other hand

2) If IGN said it, it must be a flat out lie.


Grrrr, confusing.

So where do we find the truth oh wise one?

Obviously the truth is taken from dismantling Sony's blatent and constant lies.

In the wake of the consoles' unveiling, some developers are already leaning toward one platform.

"I was shocked by how powerful the new consoles are," said Julian Eggebrecht, president of the San Rafael, Calif.-based game development company Factor 5. "They should really free our development."

Eggebrecht said his company--which developed "Star Wars: Rogue Squadron" for Nintendo's GameCube--would create games exclusively for Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3.

The choice boiled down to performance, Eggebrecht said at E3 in Los Angeles. His company has worked with Microsoft's Xbox 360, but found PlayStation 3's 3.2GHz Cell chip offered more processing power. The additional performance allows the gang at Factor 5 to more easily simulate the real world for a better game experience, he said.

or, you could listen to Doug Perry of IGN XBox...

Had these same debates going on back when Dreamcast was going to be released before PS2, and sega fans brought up all these arguments claming the dc would still be more powerful. people need to just let go, the later system is usually more powerful.

ppl need to give up the power argument and fucus on the gaming. PS3 more powerful, but both will look great.

Darren, try to find a way to post without including my name in it.

And the PS3 is more powerful... this not coming from my supposed CoWorkers as Darren so eloquently pointed out.......... this coming from developers who've worked with PS3.. and on unfinished PS3 dev kits too.

Developers say it's more powerful and IGN editors doubt it because they can't explain why it's so powerful.... even the editors dont understand the numbers...

The PS3 and the XBox 360 seem to have two designs that go in little different directions. You are going to have games that are optimized for both systems and both are going to look great. It is still too early to make claims of one system being more powerfull than the other, although it is only logic that the console being released last will have more current technology and therefore be more powerfull, but none of us know that for sure.

I still think that you won't be able to find very many differences between the games of PS3 and XBox 360 when it is all said and done.

as far as graphics, there 'may' not be a big difference, thats not where the extra power lies. you will notice it in other things tho.
