...unless this coincided with stats on people passing up on ps3 purchases for a standalone. But then again i think Ps3 should be looking to stand on its own by now
You come off as a fanboy spouting all the benefits of ps3 vs standalone... when this is just about Blu-ray players.
The silly thing is people on this site are so used to these fanboy wars... they dont realise that this news is actually POSITIVE.. NOT AN ATTACK. SONY AND THE BLU_RAY CONSORTIUM ARE SELLING MORE PLAYERS.
And yes... it is definitely possible for a new, 500$ standalone player, to do more than the blu-ray in the 299 ps3, which is as you mention Sho...
Fagol, your info isnt that correct either.. ps3 and 360 both have total 512 ram for graphics (in fact 360 has 10mb EDRAM extra as well) however on ps3 256MB is dedicated ram and as such only for graphics. This 256 is also expensive ram (relatively) that runs faster than the standard RAM available to the OS. Think a pc with discrete graphics.
Whereas 360 512mb RAM is more flexible, available to both systems and graphics and can be swapped freely. This is more like an integrate...
... But Sony Im afraid is still more to blame here than anyone for the results of multiplats on PS3.
It IS more expensive.. and more complex to dev for, therefore posing more of a barrier to devs.
And the fact is that it is seemingly much harder to develop for and the gains you see are what... 20% more in terms of visuals?
Overal the ps3 system (smoothness, quietness,bluray standard hd etc), and sony exclusives, still make it my system of cho...
... we havent had the lens of truth comparisons yet... which version IS better anyways?? ;) Muhaha lol
Halo reach is NOT 720p.. as confirmed by digital foundry.. and they love the game. But its not 720p but close:

(read 3rd paragraph in)
If you then go factor in that they use dodgy temporal aliasing (resulting in 'ghosting' effect).. and its a KO for Reach. The Mighty Uncharted 2..game of the year... ba...
Exactly where have official numbers been released for move?
Also its not like the start would have surprised Sony... theyre quoted everytwhere saying it will be a slow burner.
True COD may beat out GT5 at launch.. not sure on lifetime sales though but will probs be close... depends on reviews for COD imo is it done by Inifinity Ward?
Isnt Infamous 2 dropping in 2011??
I only count Halo Reach??
Oh yes and Alan Wake and Mass Effect 2... which is coming to Ps3 jan 2011.
Like it Kerrak :D
Even if you install to 360HD you will still have to disc swap at the required time as if you had not installed... this is for copy protection. FACT
Its late but im sure attach rate is still a useful metric.. like indicating how active the client base is.. average spend.. how much dlc could be bought etc which is relevant to a company
...the gap is more like 10million behind.. which sony makes up in APAC and EMEA

Its more constant refinements and tweaks to friends lists etc..
Media functionality and security updates which have made the who system a lot smoother.
Besides CFW hasnt actually been done yet so calm done lol
Lol agreed!
Why would Sony would even leave the files in there if they were not being used/going to be made available?? I mean surely just delete the files.
Why have the PS2 files there at all??
Maybe they were working on bringing it back themselves and it just wasnt ready yet. Seems like the most logical explanation???
"greed pure and simple"
Not that these files actually confirm ANYTHING.
You even admit in your own post that the PS3 WASNT making any money.
So how the hell can it be Greed, when the company was really struggling-in all areas not just playstation, problems with the Yen etc-?
The greedy bastards try to stay in business instead of letting me play my old ps2 games on my new ps3 "which is just a blu ray", inst...

Wow did not think this would give so many heart attacks.. again has this been reported ANYWHERE on N4G?? FFS
...and only 3 mil behind the bargain basement 360, which had a year head start. Only up to go indeed
