[QUOTE="1xcalibur1"] Well it's damn sad then. I've looked everywhere and it's the same thing. Cell's chip is completely sharable. Also it's XDR memory is over 4 times faster than that of the 360's RAM. No reason to cry your eyeballs here.delta3074

[QUOTE="1xcalibur1"][QUOTE="Deathtransit"]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?delta3074

He was being incorrect.

"The Cell chip has 256MB of completely sharable RAM, the GPU has 256MB of dedicated RAM"

ps3 is not holding back anything, its the devs.

multiplats are made from ground up on 360 most of the time.

devs dont use the XDR memory on ps3 the same way as with exclusives, most of bad ports like FO3 only use 256mb of DDR3 because XDR memory needs its own coding from ground up.

Look at Uncharted, MGS4, KZ2, LBP, R2, etc, they have everything when the game is made from ground up, from textures, animation, physics, etc. Some multiplats like Burnout also look awesome on ps3 cuz devs coded the game so it can take advantage of ps3 hardware.
