PS3's biggest flaw: partitioned RAM. PS3 holding back multiplats??

seems gurellia games, naughty dog, insomniac, quantic dream, sucker punch, sony santa monica, kojima produciton, and media molecule aren't having many problemsRagashahs

The problem seems to be that if devs want to devote more than 256 mb to graphics, they can do so on 360 but not PS3. But Uncharted KZ2, and MGS4 do look better than what I've seen 360. So how do those devs compensate for the lack of available RAM for the graphics? teh cell? And why wouldn't Sony just unify the RAM for dev simplicity and just use the cell for even more superiority?Deathtransit

wrong, the ps3's gpu can take information directly from system memory. The only real advantage that the 360 has is the OS's foot print and if it uses more system ram then graphics.

PS3s biggest problem is people like you who dont know what there talking about spreading false rumors. Learn how the hardware works and you will see that its power is unmatched with its competion. Mutiplats that look worse on PS3 are lazy ports by dervs who dont want to utilize any of PS3s hardware nothing more.djsifer01
