Wow, I didn't bother reading/looking up the dudes links, but whats your guys response?

It's the same numbers Sony spewed out pre-release and they mean nothing.
and same numbers Microsoft spewed out means something?
Incorrect, they both mean nothing. Specs on paper are never a good judge. Companies inflate their strong points, avoid even mentioning their weak points, and try to paint a picture of "higher triangles per second" or "more gigflops" equaling higher performance. These are all parts of performance, but the picture is much bigger than that. And, like I mentioned, they're inflated theoretical performance, not real world.
Edit: I had to edit my post to account for your sarcasm. Changed "Correct" to "Incorrect". Either way, they both mean nothing and they're garbage figures - from both sides.
Of course companies are going to release numbers highest possible point. Even if GPU can perform such level, that doesn't mean it will be put into use to that limit, because it is physically impossible due to system structure.
However, we are talking about GPU only specifically, and PS3 do have more powerful GPU. Does that mean PS3 has better graphics? I'd say no because Xbox 360 has better structure which has very flexible RAM. However, GPU the part specifically, PS3 has more powerful chip which probably will never be used to it's limit due to structual limitation. In the end, it's pretty much a wash between two systems in terms of performance. Still PS3 has more powerful GPU.
Yes, but it wasen't built with gaming in mind. Thats the major drawback, the cell just dosen't take games well, sonys dumb for not going with a cpu more built twords gaming. Sure the cell is more powerful, but look at how hard its been for developers to make games for. Its a shame really.
Yes I know that, and due to complicated structure, it becomes port unfriendly and more expensive for developers to make games for.
Still, the topic was that which system has more powerful GPU. GPU is specific part and PS3 does have more powerful GPU.
As for overall performance, I'd still say PS3 does have slight advantage but it is pretty much a wash and I'm sure all developers would rather have simple structures to make their lives easier than complicated structure who knows why they did it.
click on the link below my gamertag and read about the GPU's. X360 wins the GPU performance and features, whereas PS3 wins CPU performance. This topic has been discussed to death over the last 6 months. Oh and before you call me a lemming, I bought a PS3 last week and love it so far, but the X360 is winning graphically.
