Microsoft boss attacks sony's ps3

Re: Microsoft boss attacks sony's ps3

I remember reading a while back from someone who had a dev for the PS3 and he stated that the PS3 was approximately 2x more powerful than the Xbox 360. With Blu-Ray and Blue Tooth, more horsepower, it is obvious the PS3 is going to be more powerful than the Xbox 360. The PS3 is suppose to be 16x more powerful than the PS2!

Yea, and the emotion engine will make be the killer feature.

I really could care less about those who disagree or takes sides for any system. I buy my systems based on the quality of games and support. PS3 rules.........just kidding.......or am I???

It depends on what kind of games you like.... If you`re a sports gamer xbx is the best choice right now. If you like RPG`s, the PS2 is the best choice. Platformers... GC is the best!

I think i`m just going to say to hell with everyone and stick with the REVOLUTION and PC only next generation. The REV will have the best controller scheme of all 3 systems and I just upgraded my PC. So, i`m set for about the next 3 or 4 years.

and when you see your defeat

You're saying this less than a month after launch? Yeah, alright...

I'm a sports gamer so that is why I only own an Xbox. I do have a Gamecube but that is for the kiddies in my family.

It would be good to see the link for this article.

ahhhh, here it is...

But exactly how is slandering someone else`s product supposed to garner more sales? Its seems kind of childish to me.

Either way... MS is in deep doo doo right now and when you see your defeat over the horizon you might in fact resort to namecalling and slander.

Kutaragi has been talking bad about the 360 for awhile now. Moore isn't the only one doing it.

That's just bunk.
I know people that work for Sony - code for them first-party - and even they won't say that.

The PS3 will have more raw power, but not by nearly much as folks on this board tend to speculate. The Xbox 360's architecture coupled with the XNA middleware is more developer-friendly in comparison.

In other words, performance-wise, it's like comparing apples to apples.
They're both going to provide a fantastic experience, and their differences will be almost imperceptible.

As far as the mudslinging goes, Moore's a bush-leaguer compared to Kutaragi, however.

Microsoft has botched this launch in spectacular fashion, and it's an absolute embarrassment. I agree that they'd be much better off getting their own house in order rather then take unnecessary pot-shots right now.
What's amazing is that it should have been completely expected. The PS2 launch was the clumsiest, hardware-wise, in history - and even the 360's hasn't matched it yet - but it very well might.

The fact that Microsoft didn't plan appropriately is entirely inexcusable.

However, it remains to be seen if Sony can or will do any better - their track history is just as poor, and the PS3 contains even more proprietary technology (read: slow to produce). I'd anticipate something similar next year.

Well said. Instead of mudslinging, MS should worry about producing consoles that ACTUALLY WORK. I was one of the unfortunate ones that got a defective 360.

Re: Microsoft boss attacks sony's ps3

The PS3 SPEs have NO branch prediction at all and are very limited. This alone makes it impossible for the PS3 to be significantly more powerful than the XBOX 360. There is alot of misinformation out there. One great source for analyses on the next generation gaming consoles is www.arstechnica.com

Re: Microsoft boss attacks sony's ps3

I think a good way to compare the potential performance of the PS3 and XBOX 360 is to use the analogy comparing the performance of two teams assigned to cut grass. Assume team 1 consists of three men each with one lawn mower Vs a team 2 consisting of one man with a lawn mower and seven other people with scissors. Now one team has eight members and the other only three, but they are not equivalent because seven people cutting grass with scissors are not as efficient as two people cutting grass with lawn mowers. Obviously this is a bit extreme, but do not assume just because the PS3 is better at floating point performance it will even equal the XBOX 360 at general purpose code which is very important.

That's kind of a good analogy even though I'm not sure it's the "proper" one. Very good analogy.

On another note, why not take these senseless ribshots of company vs. company as the little jokes they are?

Ars Technica's a great site. Good link, Lightning.
It requires more than a passing understanding of techinology to find it useful, but it's a fantastic resource.

In case you didn`t know this, the 360 had the worst Japan launch in console history. Thats right... console history. This is NOT a good sign for MS. Theirs about 50,000 360`s sitting on the shelves in Japan instead of in the hands of western consumers that would have bought it.
