If the rumored specs are correct then it IS very powerful in comparison to the PS3 and Xbox360
Well for RROD they did with over one billion in costs for extended warranties.
That's a lot better than just saying:
"I am Sorry.."
lol
As for the rest you mentioned, they did not say anything...
But neither did Sony last generation with DRE, EVEN when they got sued and settled the lawsuit.
So it goes to show you major corporations only apologize when its absolutely the last possible option for them. :P
Making next generation titles of quality cost as much as making a motion picture film, and small developers and studios do not have that type of investment...its the reason many of the smaller developers are saying this and the larger ones are saying the opposite....
@sarlucic
Every single GPU released now and from last year have Tessellation in its hardware.
Even the aging Xbox360 GPU has tessellation in its hardware(1st generation)
Enabling Tessellation for games now is more common especially when these games are coded in DX11
Two different games altogether with different art styles.
Different game rendering engines.
Comparing the two is silly even for graphics.
Well, honestly anyone with sense should not have expected these aging consoles to match the PC version.
That's a given.
Saying that the PS3 version looks damn fantastic and stacks up with any FPS game out now on consoles bar none.
Even if they could do more, how much better looking would it be over the Xbox360 version from the PS3 version?
Not much at all.
All the major differences you see from the PC versions can be attributed to DX11, Tessellation. Higher FP for HDR. Higher quality textures. All real time effects...Not just part of the time...
Just to name just a few.
These features are non existent in the consoles versions...so how would the PS3 really standout over the Xbox360 versio...
You ACTUALLY expected the console version to be close to the PC version?
You can tell the difference when you play a game at 40,50,60+ frames per second as opposed to 30.
Its night and day
Dude. Its all INGAME.
Dice never use CGI for trailers. All IN GAME...
None of this is CGI. You must be mistaken with console games and how hey use CGI to mimick in game action. Ala KZ2

Read what she says...Its all in game
All in game running in real time. No CGI footage here. These are not even in game engine pre rendered trailers. It's all IN GAME FOOTAGE.
And KZ3 is not doing HALF the effects and physics as BF3 frost bite 2.0 engine.
You cannot compare the two at all in this regard
In 10 years I would be shocked if consoles will still be relevant as hey are today...
Even with this type of GPU if the rumors are correct and the new Wii has 1.5 gigs of ram total, will DESTROY THE PS3 and Xbox360.
Yes the GPU based on MODERN PC's today is dated, however compared to consoles out now, its YEARS ahead.
It will also be able to display on multiple monitors, run tessellation, and higher FP for HDR etc.
The PS3 and Xbox360 cannot do this ever...not even mentioning native 1080p support
"you think people will not want physical media?"
Have you seen DVD and Blu-Ray sales over the past few years and how services like NetFlix and others are rising faster than those?
How many times have we heard about:
"I want physical media for CD's"
...look now what has happened...
This is the direction gaming is going like it or not.
It's the same way music and movies is and has been going. ...
@Kleptic
What has KZ2 done in 2009 that no other shooter has done regarding tech?
I am not trying to flame so don't take it that way, but honestly, PC gaming has done what KZ2 has done in most cases well before it.
You mention lighting, yet KZ2/3 does not use HDR..it uses LDR and NOA32...
Most of the lighting in KZ2/3 is not in real time...its pre calculated.
No real dynamic global illumination.
Dynamic volumetric light bea...
The game needed a major graphical and physics update before release.
We don't even know the full details of the new Wii's specs to make any claim on how it will play or look.
If the rumors are true to the specs, then BF3 should look better than the other consoles.
I think KZ3 ART STYLE is more telling than BF3.
On a technical engine level it's no contest as to what game is more advanced with more features. BF3 has this held easy.
