"I know how you can quite it for cheaper...$299 to be exact."

I use to be a major Nintendo fan. Been playing Nintendo consoles and games going all the way back to the NES.
It felt strange not to own a Nintendo console for the first time. But I've got a friend with a Wii and it was fun the few times we've played games at parties at his place.
I've thought about picking one up, but so far those few times over my friends house was more than enough Wii. I can imagine picking one up finally down around 99 bucks some day, but there j...
Unfortunately, unlike vgchartz who just go back and fix their numbers so they don't look so obviously fake when real sales figures get released, all of the idiotic crap the clowns(aka graphics experts) at beyond3d is all there for everyone to laugh at.
The technobabble threads back from before Killzone 2 real time demos were shown are absolutely hilarious to gloss over for anyone who wants a laugh.
Also, the mind numbingly stupid 'which graphics card does teh PS3 hav...
"It was quite uncharacteristic of Sony to be not aggressive like they use to"
You can't possibly be serious.
How much more aggressive can you be than Sony this gen?
To come out with:
A brand new incredibly expensive drive tech
A cost to manufacture that was around 800 dollars
Blow Microsoft and Toshiba's HD-DVD format out of the market
Have the PS3 be the third fastest selling console in history
Humiliate th...
The Sony haters still angry over various Playstation consoles killing off their favorite console.
The clueless, yes.
But there is also the media who so desired the PS2 to fail back in 2000. That was the story they wanted to write: "Arrogant Sony coming off 105 million PS1 sales blows it with the PS2" and "Microsoft's billions buy their way into the console market"
After close to 140 million PS2 sales the media never did get to write t...
Everyone who visits the neogaf forums is in absolute astonishment over how vgchartz still has fans of a certain console clinging to the sites fake sales numbers.
The guy got permabanned from neogaf for pulling the same fake sales numbers game.
Just a powerful reminder of how absurd the things people will believe because the so desperately want it to be so.
It is mind boggling that there are people who still think some kid running a website is tracking we...
Gee...you think so???
Heh, absolutely hilarious.
Let's just recap where we are right now:
Sony's first console the Playstation sold 105 million worldwide and became the most successful console in history up to that point.
The Dreamcast came out and virtually none of those PS1 owners were interested.
The PS2 came out(too expensive, 'hard teh program', Dreamcast games look better, Sony can't decide if it is a media machine or a ga...
"There is a basic sense of class and respect Sony and Nintendo fans have for each other as gamers."
Console gaming didn't have this sickening side you see today.
Fans of each console have always roughed it up going all the way back to Atari vs Intellevision. But there really was a fundamental rule that console gamers held to:
* You only review your own platform
Sonic fans didn't worm their way into gaming media positions so they co...
"PS3 has an underpowered graphics card, confirmed by crytek employee"
You can't possibly be so completely off in fantasyland to not grasp just how sad and pathetic you look clinging to that tired old Xbox fan talking point.
The gap between the PS3's graphics and the 360's is so enormous now in 2009 that top ten lists have been putting a token multiplatform games on the list out of pity for 360 owners.
This is the first console gen where a conso...
Half of the garbage and lies spread about Killzone 2's incredible controls was part of the wider attempt by the gaming media to trash PS3 exclusives.
But the other half was all the kids who were use to huge amounts of auto-aim in games like Call of Duty and unrealistic weapons where you just point and shoot. The loaded up Killzone 2 and got destroyed by good players and started crying like babies that it obviously not them but Killzone 2's controls because they were all 'hardcore...
"dude IBM the makers of the cores of both the Cell and Xenon specifically say they run simultaneously,"
"Though when you have a PPE multi threading its not a true doubling of performance."
Just stop!
It's like arguing with a five year old.
Not only are you making inane claims, you are even contradicting yourself.
If the threads on the 360's CPU were actually running 'simultaneously' you would be getting close...
If what you were trying to claim was true, the 360 CPU would have a much closer benchmarked performance that would be showing results much nearer to the PS3's Broadband Engine Cell chip.
It doesn't.
Not to mention that massive performance gap between PS3 games and 360 games and non-game applications like Folding@Home.
"for a total of six hardware threads available to games"
This is the silly claim you made. There are not 'six hardware' threads. There are three hardware threads with each core having two sets of context to faciliate rapid switching between them. That is where the 10-20 percent boost in performance comes from.
If the 360 CPU actually had '6 hardware threads available to games' you would get close to double the performance for running threads in parallel. Yo...

You are wrong.

"SMT or HT Technology threads share the resources of the CPU core. Because they share the execution units, the maximum speedup from running two threads instead of one is typically 10 to 20 percent, instead of the 100 percent that is possible from two independent hardware threads."

"You have no idea how wrong you are"
A guy with a KFC bucket covering his eyes trying to claim what everyone else sees with their own eyes.
Priceless!
The PS2,Xbox and GameCube were all within a small margin of each other in performance. Each of them had areas that the other was lacking or weaker. Xbox in multipass rendering, PS2 in fillrate and floating point power, GameCube with its incredibly fast RAM.
The PS3 is the first conso...
This desperation damage control by Microsoft is absolutely hilarious to watch on so many levels:
1. They make themselves look like absolute fools by coming out and contradicting themselves as soon as they realized how many PS3s Sony had sold
2. Even pretending Microsoft's ridiculous 'new' numbers were true, it still shows the PS3 selling at roughly DOUBLE the rate of the 360 in Europe
3. And even more humiliating for Microsoft is the fact that all of thi...
It isn't just the fact that he isn't working on it. He went out on stage at E3 and disowned the game. One of the most amazing moments in all of E3 history.
Devil May Cry + Raiden model slapped on == Raiden May Cry
Care level == Zero
"They both count which ever shows them as winning"
Uh, no.
Microsoft 'counted' and stated they had sold 9 million.
Sony 'counted' and stated they had sold 10 million.
Microsoft's own count shows them LOSING.
Everything else is just sobs of denial.
MGS 4... backlash?
LOL!
The dopes who hang out at beyond3d.com don't have a clue about console graphics and hardware. It's not surprising that they spread a massive amount of bogus information about the PS3's graphics hardware.
