@ IRetrouk ~ Nice fatality on sikbeta there. +Agree & +Interesting.
Those who post $#@! like this "article" (or comments along the same lines) don't care for the WHOLE factual truth. Only what they WANT to suit their view...no matter what the actual truth is.
Just like certain people (still to this day) actually say/believe the PS3 "only has 256MB's of ram" ~ http://n4g.com/news/944943/... <...
That's what I did using an extra 15th Anniversary Street Fighter Arcade stick I had ~

But now you are changing the subject again...
1st ~ I was replying to someone else's false comment about the PS3having 256MB RAM compared to the 360's 512MB's.
2nd ~ I admitted to standing corrected to my comment of the VRAM being 650MHz (of which I found quite odd to begin with since the XDR is the MAIN RAM that the PS3 utilizes to power through it's processes which in itself shows that even at "half the RAM" it does "more with...
@ TheDareDevil ~ I'm sorry but you really don't know what you are talking about, so there is no point in any further discussion with you.
@ Vulcan ~ I stand corrected in that it does seem to be the case that PART of the ram has been adjusted to be @ 650. But not all of it. Also to say that the XDR ram is "pointless" is quite a GRAND overstatement. Especially when it has been shown time and time again that the speed and capability of the Cell in conjunction w...
I seriously can't believe that people actually still say (let alone completely believe) this misinformed comment to this day.
The PS3 has
256MB XDR Main RAM @ 3.2GHz
256MB GDDR3 VRAM @ 700MHz
It has a TOTAL of 512MB of ram. It just uses it differently than a standard/conventional way.
BUT IT STILL HAS 512MB OF RAM AVAILABLE TO USE.
Here don't take my word for it, read it for yourself just make...
100% Correct GraveLord. It seems there are quite a few misinformed "gamers" here (though they act like they know WTF they're talking about) because they sure seem to forget about the PS2's game called Kinetic...not only did MS copy the idea of the camera, but also what it would basically do and lastly even almost the name of it.
That's not the point. To say trophies are "a cheap last minute copy" is synonymous with saying the 360 is just "a cheap last minute copy" of the PS3's early design....oh wait it is since MS basically tried to copy it and ACTUALLY rushed it last minute to come out first (and we all know how THAT ended up)...but either way my original point still stands about they are not the "original". ;)
Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64 rewarded players who completed goals with guns, cheats & special modes, while Spyro 2 on the original PlayStation 1 rewarded players who unlocked 'Skill Points' with extra lives.
These accomplishments really created the foundation of PlayStation's Trophies and the Xbox 360's Achievements Gamerscore. So I don't think you really know what you are talking about. But what do I know? That's just an observation of the biased ...
Labeled as spam since that is exactly all you do on ANYTHING PlayStation related.
You want a REAL dose of reality? How's about this perspective ~
Sony (and Japan) had to deal with this in 2011
1. Earthquake
2. Tsunami
3. Radiation
4. PSN attack and shutdown
And they STILL managed to outsell the Wii while only being behind the 360 by 800k (give or take)...but yet (like Morganfell pointed out) its the Fiscal year that is more telling and proper. Hell even if it were to stay the same it goes to sho...
If you really want to break it down PROPERLY with an open mind then it has to be looked at like this ~
5% of 155 Million is 7.75 Million ~ PS2
33+% of 66 Million is 21.78 Million+ ~ 360
I don't care what ANYONE has to say about that! This is just one of the reasons why the 360 has it's current sales figures...because a great deal of them were REPLACEMENT purchases.
PirateThom with the undisputed facts & links (though it's clear there are those who will try no matter what)...
But is anyone else <reading or hearing> a sheep's "Baaaah...Baaaah..." when it comes to some of the statements/excuses being said in some of these comments?
Or is it just me? LoL! >_<
Anyway, great post Thom!
And the media's reluctance to shed light on it is quite odd too isn't it?
What I find funny is how there seems to be info that is omitted as to the percentage of how many more sell. That is the REAL telling of facts here as Dragon & others are implying/saying ~
US PS3 sales = 4.5
US 360 sales = 7.3
PS3 sales of 4.5 is 61% of the 360's sales of 7.3, thus sales ARE there and good compared to ~
JP 360 sales = 0.1
JP PS3 sales = 1.5
360 sales of .1 is JUST 6% of the PS3's sa...
It's gonna be close...either way those who make bold BS claims like the PS3 is "dead last" are in for a surprise real soon.
I really didn't want to say of this this but I feel I have to ~
Where are all the MS supporters now?
What do they have to say about what this will do?
Why is Sony brought into this "discussion" when it is not even rumored they will do the same?
Is it to detract/lessen the impact it has against MS?
Anything else anyone would like to add?
I personally RARELY EVER buy a used game. ...
My biggest fear in this situation is that when the NeXtBoX & PS4ever do get released, they will undoubtedly be more powerful than the Wii U (putting aside who is more "powerful" between them) to the point where the Wii U will now be holding them BOTH back with Multi-Plats (and the devs themselves not doing proper ports too)...thus we/us get screwed again.
Correct Darkride66 ~ In reality Sony would make money on each sold as they are a part of the consortium...where they will make the bulk of their money is in BD Movie Disc Sales because of the additional ties Sony has in the motion picture industry (and not just for the discs themselves but also other factors like the cameras that are used to film them, production houses etc).
Now does this rumor mean the 720 will actually PLAY Blu-ray movies? We shall see. It would interestin...
@ RedDeadDestroyer ~
"Shoulda ditched the cell for a better GPU imo"
Why? The 360 has a "better" GPU, yet it hasn't produced ANY titles near that of God of War 3, The Killzone Series, The Uncharted Series, The 2 GT Games, Heavy Rain, MGS4, anything near/like TLoU and quite a few others...
I wonder what a talented dev with a PS4 based on/off the Cell but with a better GPU and more ram would be capable of creating.
