Well, finally somebody responded with some intelligence, lol. There are intelligent lemmings I guess.
1. I do believe my first point is valid. Higher resolution LCD's aren't that far from coming out. they already make those you know, but they use them for computers. I believe that we will see TV's with higher resolutions in two or three years and the PS3 will be able to support it. Plus, you don't think a console can have 8-9 years lifespan. Look at the PS2. It's selling better than both the 360 and the PS3 and even bringing out great games like GOW 1,2. Also the I said in the begining of the thread that it's about the future, not present. Yes the average Joe does not have a 7.1 surround system, but in a couple of years they will and the PS3 supports it.
2. my point about the ram was to bring a point on how fast technology demand rise. Technology demands better hardwareevery year. it's no big deal. maybe a bad example. My point is that we will move to higher resolution TV's and we will see 30GB games, and xbox can't support them. The PS3 does.
3. As for the HDD access, 30Gb games don't need to have 30Gb of harddrive space to be streamed there. You can have a buffer of 10Gb on the hdd that you could use as long as that buffer fills fast enough on the fly. so I don't think there is any need for bigger space on HDD. The current HDD will support it fine.
4.Yes i do remember what I was playing 9 years ago. I was playing GT on PS1. The games that came out for the PS2 when it first launched and the games that come out for it now, i.e. GOW, are totally different because Developers get really good with a system after that long. if we have a real life example of a system lasting about 8 years(ps2), why don't you believe it?
5. not sure about the Pentium IV. I had studied teh MIPS back in my day and that had a 5 stage pipeline in it. Moore's law isn't even a law. It's just a fact that technology advances very fast.
6. Why is mentioning RROD fanboyism? It's a fact. what's wrong with that? It's got major hardware problems. in a couple of years, what makes you think that the average Joe will buy a 360 over a PS3 knowing that one has a 30% failure rate vs the other, not to mention all the "stuff" the PS3 comes with out of the box. Come on, don't you see this?
7. my point about the PS3 having only 512MB of memory was a downside. you probably just missed that word. That wasn't a complement of it.
