Why do people believe the ps3 is so powerful?

[QUOTE="fixer293"][QUOTE="-PS360-"][QUOTE="gamergeekgeek"][QUOTE="Aquamarine2"]

PS3 is 3 times more powerful than Xbox360.

The PS3 has the Cell=8 Cores, and RSX= Nvidia 8800 GTX.

Xbox360 hsa 3 core cpu, and Xenos=9800 Pro

jack_russel

so why do multiplats look better on 360 again??

That is the lamest excuse I have heard from any type of anboy.

So because it is on 360, sony developers just under achieve, that is a lame excuse, why don't they try and prove these "power capabilities" the PS3 has to show up the 360....oh it can't.

The ps3 has one main core, and 6 secondary not as useful ones (2 are not being used). The ps3's main core is very powerful, the other ones are good for preventing bottlenecking or other non-major operations. The 360 cores are more general purpose, although none or as powerful as the ps3s main core. The 360 has a slight GPU advantage as well.

you just proved you know nothing about the Cell.

the SPEs are not less powerful cores. they are extremelly efficient and have greater performance than most CPUs we have in many tasks. the only thing is that they are not general purpose cores. but that doesn't mean anything when we're talking about gaming processing, since general purpose processing is good for systems like a PC.

No, this proves you didnt read my post. SPEs are less useful, since they are not general purpose. The sony style is to have pretty games that play well enough, with cinematic experiences. Microsoft are more focused directly on gameplay and things like AI. Did you like God of War better than Ninja Gaiden? Alot of people did actually. Thats what ps3 will bring to the table, games like MGS4 & God of War 3. While the xbox 360 will give us games like Halo 3 & Mass Effect. Im actually buying a ps3, i cant not have Team ICO games!

this is exactly where you fail your logic. the 360's general purpose CPUs are great for general codes (like concatenating between OS, Live and games, and such things) but other tasks like sounds, AI, physics, and even gfx, uses much more specific processing methods, like vector processing. and the SPEs are way better on those type of tasks than any processor out there, even the PowerPCs used in the 360 (curiously, the Cell was based on the PowerPC, but it has some drastic changes that causes all those differences).

1. Dvd-9 is causing devs to drop features/levels to fit on one disc

2. The 360 does not have a hard drive standard in all 360's ms could drop the core sku but that would lead to problems for everybody that bought a core already.

Killzone2,Heavenly Sword dont sell as good as Halo3.(No contest, hands down). Mass Effectis already getting better reviews than HS. Perfect Dar Zero was like Super Star DustHDor F.E.A.R for the PS3...lol

I mean last time i checked, most multi-plat games run much smoother on the 360 still. This leads me to believe the systems are near equal in power.kevy619

Multiplats run smoother on the 360 so this means they are equal? Wouldn't this mean the 360 is more powerful?

mass effect reviewed?!!?!?!?! send me the link!!?! seriously if it has been reviewed send the link, i'm really interested in this game.

the 360 didnt just have a year advantage it's architecture was also easier for devlopers to work with. have you seen the visuals in Uncharted and ratchet...thatsEDGE tools working. Edge toolshelps devs get more out of the ps3 in short.recently sony said that practically more and more third party devsare gettingthese tools to work with.

What about Spiderman 3 I believ they both came out at the same time BUT the X360 version looks better meaning Spidey's costume on the 360 looked more detailed, the streets and the buildings also looked better on Xbox 360 THAN PS3 so this excuse you people use saying that short periods of time don't give developers the chance to use PS3s ''FULL POWER'' is useless...DeadMan1290

In this case, it would be due to the cells unique architecture. You can't expect developers to instantly have mastered efficient use of theSPE's in the first year. It's possible they may not even do it well by the end of this gen. 360's CPU is more traditional, and programming for it is much easier due to the collective knowledge that already exists about programming for it.

If you say "excuses, excuses", that's ok. It's the reality of progress whether or not you'd be willing to accept it.

You'd think Sony would have unveiled the Power of the Cell by now, but instead they make endless excuses like "It only uses 25% of its power". and Sony Fanboys claim:"10,000 cars in GT5, OMG" "Look at the grass in GT5, its so awesome".

Microsoft are more focused directly on gameplay and things like AI. Did you like God of War better than Ninja Gaiden? Alot of people did actually. Thats what ps3 will bring to the table, games like MGS4 & God of War 3. While the xbox 360 will give us games like Halo 3 & Mass Effect. Im actually buying a ps3, i cant not have Team ICO games!

this is exactly where you fail your logic. the 360's general purpose CPUs are great for general codes (like concatenating between OS, Live and games, and such things) but other tasks like sounds, AI, physics, and even gfx, uses much more specific processing methods, like vector processing. and the SPEs are way better on those type of tasks than any processor out there, even the PowerPCs used in the 360 (curiously, the Cell was based on the PowerPC, but it has some drastic changes that causes all those differences).

I disagree with that, with more research you will see that the SPE's are actually quite limited on what they can actually do. i mean the can only run code at 256kb! Open your eyes.
