No developer ever truly utilizes a console to its full potential. So really you can’t estimate how much power is in use. You can always optimize code better.

DO WHAT User (2)!!!! The 360 got alot of bad press…… The 360 launch was horrible man !!!!! Something like 40 -50% failure rate with all the launch systems (my system was included in that failure rate). That’s worse than anything else that could possibly happen, except for no games at launch !!!!

You say you dont want Sony bias negative stories but you use MS sponsored FUD to make your biased points.

Guess if your ignorant of what MS does and wear rose colored glasses everything fits into place for you.

If you really can’t find negative 360 stories from their launch you need to learn to use google better.

These are just some of the negative press about PS3:

There are more. But can someone post some negative press about X360 that is not under Sony’s paycheck?

User, I have to agree! As strange as it sounds.

The problem isnt even the things they say, its because a) Sony has some bad reputation of “underdelivering” (not saying or saying it isnt so) and b) these words often leave to much room for (bad) interpretation.

Thats why, every word KK oder KH say get turned around so long, til they can be interpreted as something completely different.

The things link 120FPS are not too far off. Theoretically every console could do it.

KKs statements are a very delicate matter. He is a dreamer and not a native american speaker. This leads to many problems. Many people just dont understand a word he says and hence interpret him totally wrong.

And to be true, the 360 IS a 1.5er Xbox. It has done NOTHING new, even the HDD was scrapped (purely my opinion, nothing to be mad about). It is just a minor GPU/CPU overhaul, nothing else. The thing is, how are you “really next gen”? We have the three ways of Sony, Ninty and MS. Ninty have gone the DS route of “gameplay and fun matters”, Sony went with the “jack of all trades” (not yet saying master of none, not yet) route and MS did the “graphics whore” way.

Which is best is yet to be seen. I made my choice long before the PS3 was even mentioned! And abilities like having Linux, motion sensoring and bluray even approve of my decision.

And Bill Gates CES statements arent any nicer at all… (wont quote here, read the news)

The comments are getting off topic. The original post is not about which one is better. Xbox360 or PS3.

It’s just that when any Sony execs open their mouth… something wrong is always being said. And hyping their PS3.

eg: 4D, Xbox 1.5, Two HDMI, hyping 1080p… DUH 120fps… duh… novelity of Wii…

I just hate it.
