what do you all think about this ??...if true...this worries me :?, the 360 has really good looking games right now, but if it has reached almost the 90 %....maybe it will not do better in the upcoming years...

Meanwhile, the Xbox 360's processor is able to perform at par with the Cell Processor at this point, but the source reveals that "about 90 percent of the Xbox 360's system resources have already been tapped"

I think everyone knows that by the end of the gen PS3 games will be better and smoother....most just can't admit it...

There's a reason the console is $599

Consoles are always being pushed, it is how they develope the game to use the hardware. When it comes to resources the PC can't be beat.

If 360 is reaching its max, and multiplats are looking better with faster framerates on 360, this surely looks bad for PS3.

yeah they say gears of war met about 80-90% of its graphicsal capabilties, not exactly the detail but what it can do, if u know what i mean, while the process has only been tapped by 1/3 at most on any game released on the thing....but your gonna be suprised what the 10% looks like in graphics...plus art ****matters alot, thats one reason why gears look so good, the art ****...anyways....

Every 3rd party dev always says they're maxing the current system they're working on. Every 1st party dev says they're barely scratching the the surface of what the console can do. Every fanboy actually believes them.

With games like RE5 and Alan Wake, I really don't think anyone cares about which is more powerful at this point.

All developers use much of the systems power....its not like they shut off half the console for their game.

90% potential? not even close.

Exactly, and just because they're using 90% doesn't mean they're using it well.

That is nothing the PS3 is using 1,000,000,000 Billion Million Zillion Trillion% of it resoruces.

The 360 is not using 90% of it resrouces IIRC that was from a Sony fanboy site with an "interview" with people from Valve, which was taken down.

Well, if that's true, that sucks.

Don't deny it you foolios. The 360 isn't perfect.

Thing this is, it's probably not true... and of course, at the moment, it's far more worth its price than the PS3.

I remember the days when gamers actually you know......played gamed. Didn't take this to the extreme. You guys never just shut up and play. Super Nes and Sega Genesis were difference, both sold great. Psone and N64 both sold well. Man i still play Tobal or Twisted Metal 2 on my PSone. I still play Turtles in Time on my Super Nes. Heck i still play Samuraii Showdown on my Neo Geo. You really sick in the head people remind me of the kids in my playground that use to argue over Megs, and Megabits on a Super Nintedno Cartridge. Shut up play the game. Tetris is still highly played to death and it has no flash. GamePlay > Graphics. If you can save up and buy a 400 dollar plus tax 360 with a few games or a HDDVD add on you can sure save up for a 500 dollar now PS3. So stop with all this junk. Or if you were paid really good just build a dam good comp if you want. Gamers today have so many more options then teenagers in the 90's. The only sad thing is most of you get stuck at Gamestop on a Preorder System. F^^K Gamestop. I think gaming use to be about gamers and having a blast playing games. Nowadays i think its about technophile geeks getting into gaming based on specs and comparing what one can do or not. Its like listenign to my dam friends talk cars for hours, when you can just hop in one and go for a drive.

It's $599 because of the Blu-ray drive.

Even if a game uses 100% of a consoles resources, you can still improve and optimise the code to use less resources. When devs say there using 90% of a consoles resources they mean that there code uses 90%, that doesn't mean that someone else can't improve and refine the code to use less resources later on. This holds true for any system.

I don't think anyone should really care. I mean games on current gen consoles aren't going to look vastly better in 2-4years from now. The quality you see now is pretty much what you'll be seeing throughout this gen. Look at the original Xbox, Halo and Dead or Alive 3 were launch games (or at least launch window games), and four years later we weren't seeing games on the Xbox that blew them away graphically, sure there were better looking games like Riddick, but it wasn't a major improvement over some of the Xbox's launch games. Halo: CE is still considered one of the better looking Xbox games.

I doubt you'll see games looking a lot better then Gears of War, Bioshock, or Alan Wake on the 360 throughout it's lifespan. Likewise, I doubt you'll be seeing games looking much better then Heavenly sword, UT III, or Killzone 2 on the PS3. Some people actually believe that consoles will reach Crysis level graphics in the next 2-3 years. It's unbelievable. A lot of people should start worrying about games, worrying about how they'll play, and what kind of storys they might offer, instead of what percentage of a console's resources are left.

yeah, it's a known fact that the most powerful console always wins the console war... :roll:

But really, when developers say stuff like "we've only tapped XX% of the consoles true power" they're pretty much talking out of there a**...They make the best game they can with the knowledge of the hardware they have, a few months later some other developer will have found out how to achieve the same or even better graphics using way less resources. You can never say how much power you are actually using it all depends on how you use it...

Yeah, it's called a blu-ray player. People who believe that developers have 90% of its resources are using about 5% of their brain.

Dude this has to be true. I mean the Xbox had more RAM than the PS2 and, thus, it won the console war! Oh wait! :roll:
