    Yahoo News for PS3



    "But at this point, nobody besides Sony has any idea what the Cell will allow the PS3 to do. Game developers say they haven't seen a prototype that comes close to the blazing processing speeds and life-like graphics of the commercial-ready console Sony is promising. Though Sony declines to comment on such complaints, in November it failed to deliver on a promise to send game creators an upgraded prototype containing a graphics chip made by Santa Clara (Calif.)-based nVidia (NVDA)."

    "Without the souped-up graphics chip, "the machine we have is 10 times slower than the PS3 should be," says an exec at a game software maker who spoke on condition of anonymity. "The graphics chip was supposed to be ready by November. But we're still waiting."

    Very interesting. I can't wait for CES this January when this bad boy is unveiled. I want to see if all the videos I have seen are as good or were we fooled with TECH DEMOS.

    Everything I have read says that both the 360 and the PS3 are almost equal in terms of performance. Sony claims that their cell processor has 7 threads and Microsoft says thier 3 CPU's each have 2 threads.

    ATi and nVidia have been in a pis$ing match for years and their products have been fairly equal as well.

    I tend to agree with the MS honcho's they are both Ferrari's, theirs will do some things better than ours and we will do some things better than their system.

      Sony has a history of exagerating the capabilities of their consoles before launch. Emotion engine anyone?

          Oh I agree, it's no wonder gamers in the UK refer to them as Fony and not Sony. Most of their specs are probably BS. The system will probably not live up to it's hype just as the Emotion Engine was utter BS. But hey that's Fony for ya. And millions of gamers buy into the hype. As long as some believe them they'll keep spewing the same marketing BS.

          That's why most insider's say both system's will be fairly even in performance and some give a slight edge to the 360.

            i too cannot wait until the CES show next month to see the PS3 in action. Finally we will get to see just what the ps3 can do and I for one am expecting big things from this machine.

              I really don't care what the UK call Sony, because they still buy the system and games.

              As for the insiders giving the edge to the 360, I myself haven't seen too many people saying that. In fact most are ANTICIPATING that the ps3 will be stronger than the 360, that is if the ps3 delivers what it has promised which is yet to be seen, but will become crystal clear around this time next month.
