The writers have turned into PS3 haters as well. I don't see why everyone wants 360 to win this round. If 360 wins our (gamers) future will will include crappy hardware and add-ons out the a$$. Not to mention an increase in XBL fees.

Why doe's everyone hate on the 360 when the ps3 has a bad day?



Oh sorry fanboy, didnt see you there ¬_¬ .

what in the goddamn hell is this doing on the 360 section TAKE IT TO THE PLAYSTATION 3 SECTION !!!

I remember writers, reviewers, and fan boys used to do the same thing with the Super Nintendo and Genesis, how the SNES was a piece of crap and Sega stomped it into the ground, guess what SNES beat the crap out of that little black box, same thing will happen with the PS3, Sony will domoinate again.

Qj must be having a bad week, posting files that destroy PSPs. Making size comparisons which have nothing to do with the subject matter. And posting PS3 (hate) articles in every section....



Nice 1 QJ! I blame the moons gravitational pull on the brains of news writers the world over... :-D

All he's saying is that with firmware upgrades you're constantly adding functionality/features, therefore you can never say you've seen all the machine can do.



Oh, BTW, "the urge not to flame" would've been better grammar...

Don't you mean Nintendo will domoinate again? According to your logic Sony is Genesis which I agree 100%. Soul-less company.

I think by that he meant that the potiental is endless for the console, therefore you will never be able to use 100% of it's capabilities, but whatever. ;d.

He must have a reason for saying PS3 can never reach it's potential. I'd like to hear that directly from Phil. Here's some options:

1. The PS3 will be abandoned when the PS4 or galaxy or whatever is introduced before it reaches it's potential.

2. The cell is difficult to program for and using the 7 processing units for something useful takes a long time to learn to do

3. Developers will not invest enough time or money to use its potential, instead looking for quick profit

4. Security restrictions prevent great homebrew from being developed

5. Disappointing console sales will lower developers' interest in making expensive games

6. Crappy typical $ony development kits are preventing advanced games from being developed easily

So which one is it Phil?

XBL for 1 year + 5 hours of pan handling in downtown Seattle, depending on how good you are.

F'ing Cheapskate.

Every time Phill says something the story gets overwhelmed with 360 fanboys. This story will have at least 60 posts by this time tomorrow.



I'm going to do the opposite. My plan is to hang out at M$'s website all day until Bill Gates says anything. The second step is to use whatever he said and compare it to the PS3 and mention how PS3 is better. He may say something about the Zune but hey PS3 is better! Take that Bill Gates, since I flamed him people will be convinced to buy Sony products - The mind of an Xbot.

already is there ya know...

Interesting points, but I have my own take of the PR statement by Phil. I think what he means is PS3 game developers can never use 100% of the PS3's potential because the PS3 is, in the estimation of Sony, a LIMITLESS platform. Sony has always said that the technology and power is so good that few (if any) games will burn up all of the PS3 resources - and even when the developers have a game that comes close to using up 100% of the system resources, Sony will have new FW updates and features and whatever else in mind for the PS3.

1. Microsoft was losing money selling the XBOX for $130. PS2 is much cheaper with no hard drive and slower processor so $ony is still turning a profit. $ony is still making a bundle off it and needs the PS2 to cover losses from the PS3. Developers will decide if there's enough demand to continue making games. The PS2 sold what like 70 million? Games will still be made for a while. There's no way in hell the PS3 will sell half that number ever. 2 How does an RPG fully utilize a next gen processor? Even newer FF games offer nothing new just better graphics. If they announced FFXIII only used half of the PS3's power would people still be waiting for it? A lot of hype created and only a few videos of CG characters to back it up. If develpers truly have figured out how to use all the SPEs, games won't improve much for the next 5 years. PS2 took what 6 years to max out it's potential? 4 Linux on the PS3 has NO access to the GPU. It isn't really a computer as there are many things it simply cannot do. Region free games aren't useful unless you regularly import games and know Japanese. 5 I wouldn't be very optimistic about high sales numbers of the PS3 because it's double the price of the PS2 when it launched and came out a year late this time, which hurt the original XBOX. Demand and prices keep going down. The PSP when launched was selling for $600-700 at first then when easily available sales took a nose dive. The high PS3 pricing will not be cut for at least 3 years as that's how long it took the PS2's price to drop. 6 Developers are always complaining about Playstation development tools because they have nothing in common with other systems or the PC and require new knowledge which takes time to learn.

Also with Bill Gates if you've ever seen the movie Pirates of Silicone Valley, you'd know the only thing MS ever "stole" was the GUI technology that Apple bought from Xerox which all computers are based on now. Somebody would have "stolen" it eventually so why does it matter? Jesus that was 20 years ago get over it. Computer operating systems must work with many different hardware configurations and sh*t like that isn't easy. The newer Windows operating systems are excellent and just as good as Apple's. I'm looking forward to Vista myself.
