I guess I will just put my PS3 on Folding@home and power up my 360...oh wait, I can't because MICROSOFT STILL HAS IT FROM IT'S RROD! Freaking jerk. Oh, do some more research, both units are equal to each other. Similar capabilities for graphics, SAME amt of memory (PS3 handles it better), noticed you left out the processor, little known fact, the 360 has 3 processors right, did you know that 1 is dedicated as a decompressor?

Go chase a ambulance.

As for you accusations that "no one is buying them", interesting that compeating with both the 360 and Wii, the PS3 has sold close to the 360 during it's first year! I wouldn't be supprised to see the #'s first year to first year and see the PS3 on top! Found a link...

The 360 and the PS3 are neck and neck for sales, so I guess you are wrong again...hmmmmm, glad you not my attorney!

See, I can admit when I have mistaken, but again, dispite your ramblings, the two systems are equal with each other, and the Cell being a terrific number cruncher will be the better game platform. Games after all are nothing but lines of code (Machine language), and with the various games written spacificly for the PS3 are outshinning the 360, I will say the PS3 is the better system. Oh, and I don't have to cross my fingers everytime I turn it on.

But here we go again, for those that simply don't understand the differences between the PS3 and the Xbox 360. The simple fact is that the PS3 has a huge memory bandwidth hardware bottleneck. Also, when it comes to RAM, the Xbox 360 certainly DOES have fundamental advantages over the Playstation 3. For example, the CPU of the PS3 can NEVER access more than 256MB of RAM at any point. The Xbox 360 CPU is free to access up to 512MB of RAM if there was a need. With the PS3, there are plenty of times when the CPU needs more than 256MB of RAM, and the Video-RAM of the PS3 is actually using less than 256MB of RAM, which means that if the PS3 had a Unified RAM environment–like the Xbox 360’s–then that unused Video-RAM could help the CPU, like it does on the Xbox 360. OBVIOUSLY, the Xbox 360 RAM design is much more flexible; it helps developers in ways that they enjoy working with. Plus, it’s important to remember that the original design of the Playstation 3 called for the used of TWO Cell CPU processors–each with two Threads that could Send signals to the SPE subprocessors. However, when Sony saw the design of the Xbox 360, and they saw how much better the Xbox 360 was, then Sony was forced to redesign the Playstation 3 very quickly in a way that hurt the PS3 system. This is nearly identical to what happened with Sega and the Saturn. Sega saw how much better the original PS1 was, and they were forced to quickly redesign the Saturn in a way that used parallel processing that was difficult to work with and was more expensive. This is EXACTLY what happened with the Playstation 3.

The original design of the PS3 was not even supposed to used a GPU, because it was going to have two of the Cell CPU processors. But when Sony saw the revolutionary ATI GPU in the Xbox 360 that was Custom designed for the Xbox 360, and was 1.5 years ahead of its time (since the PC didn’t see similar Unified Shader technology until January 30, 2007), then Sony was forced to removed one of the Cell CPUs in the PS3, and instead add a Nvidia GPU. But there was NOT time to custom design the GPU, so Sony was forced to included a four-year old generic GPU in the PS3. That is why people often point out the vast superiority of the Xbox 360 GPU.

Now that the PS3 only has one 3.2Ghz Cell CPU, it means that the PS3 has only two Threads capable of Sending signals to the six SPE sub-processors running parallel. Each of those six SPE processors is capable of Receiving a Threaded signal; however, the PS3 CPU is only capable of Sending two Threaded signals. This is where the hardware “bottleneck” of the PS3 reveals itself. Programmers often say that the PS3 has two arms (CPU Threads) that are trying to juggle six balls (SPE sub-processors). Obviously, that is NOT possible, and that is why the Playstation 3 hardware is such a BIG disappointment.

With the Xbox 360, Microsoft used a much newer and better form of technology. PCs often brag about their “dual-core” CPU design. The Xbox 360 actually takes that to the next level and used a “tri-core” CPU design, with each CPU using the most developer-favored videogame processor available–the PowerPC.

The Xbox 360 is literally the exact opposite when compared to the Playstation 3 in terms of hardware design and efficiency. The Xbox 360 has three 3.2Ghz CPUs, each with two Threads capable of Sending instructions. But the Xbox 360 doesn’t the outdated parallel processing environment of the PS3. There are no “sub-processors” to worry about with the Xbox 360. The signals can be focused on CPU and GPU commands. This literally means the Xbox 360 has six arms (CPU Threads) that are being asked to juggle only two balls (GPU and CPU functions). THAT is why the overwhelming majority of Xbox 360 games offer better graphic and online performance on the Xbox 360. THAT is NOT going to change!

Yeah, in every pro xbox 360 forum around. Please cut down on the caffeine,
and get a life!

I agree with ya there, I remember reading a very simular post a couple of weeks ago, but to dismiss it simply because it is not about another game coming out is short sighted. The PS3 just does a lot more than the 360. Does it do them better or worse, well that depends on who you talk to. I favor any multiplat game for the 360, they just seem to work better (except COD4) but even that game, if I get it, I will get it for the 360 for the Achievements. Exclusives to the PS3 however, are showing the 'potential' of the system. The first couple were kind of weak...Lair for instance...but the latest batch more than make up for that...Uncharted for instance. Despite what the 360 only people such as yourself say, the PS3 is making a very strong showing.

very much agreed!

Hope your words will put some sense unto their thick skulls.
