Now we find out that a simple mobile phone processor is just as powerful and EASY to program for on top of that.

Ummmm....wut?



The CPU that will be in the NGP is a mobile phone CPU that will be in phones starting this year and the quad core variants in 2012.

As powerful as the PS3? No

As powerful as the 360? Yes

Does that mean multiplats will look better on the NGP than the PS3?

All the BS Sony spat about the cell being such a powerhouse. Now we find out that a simple mobile phone processor is just as powerful and EASY to program for on top of that. All you needed was a 4 core 1 Ghz processor and the cell with all it's SPEs falls to it's knees. What a hyped up piece of garbage the cell turned out to be. The only thing the cell is good at is decoding high def video streams, in other words for blu-ray movie playback.

That brings us to blu-ray. Sony marketing tried to make us believe it was needed this gen. You got that, we *needed* blu-ray back in 2006, lol! We're in 2011 and we still haven't seen one game that really benefits from blu-ray. Maybe next gen.

Anyway, so the NGP will be able to run PS3 ports and obviously the NGP doesn't have a blu-ray player. How is this possible? Maybe because blu-ray is a hyped up piece of crap that does absolutely nothing for gaming?

After realizing that the NGP is capable of all this, it's easy to know that the lemmings were right all along. Of course the 360 can handle anything the PS3 can output including those precious exclusives. And it can do it just fine with DVD!

I'm not hating on the PS3 or the NGP. I may pick up an NGP and I think the PS3 is a fine console. I'm just disgusted by the misinformation campaign that Sony embarked on. And it's rather sad that so many gamers didn't know any better. I mean there was a time where people actually argued about the PS3 having support for dual monitor at 1080p each at 120 fps. People actually believed it and argued about it on these boards. In practice the PS3 has trouble even keeping 720p and 30 fps.

Well, let's lay these ridiculous myths to bed forever. As it turns out the PS3, 360 and NGP are about equal in power. And blu-ray is GREAT, for playing movies.

[QUOTE="FIipMode"]What Ps3 games have you seen on a portable?FIipMode



MGS4 and Uncharted.

That was a tech demo and Uncharted isn't a PS3 game, it's an NGP game, boy are you misinformed.



Obviously the NGP is at least one year away so there are no full games built for it yet. My point stands intact.

Do you have any intelligent thoughts on the matter?

Preposterous question deserves an equivalent response. On topic: Killzone 3 is 45 gig (more or less) so blu-ray is at least useful in terms of practicality



Are you saying the NGP will never have a port of Killzone 3 due to space constraints?

A lot of bragging by cows about blu-ray for years now. They claim the 360 games are gimped because they are stuck with only DVD. Well, my question is, if blu-ray is needed to run PS3 exclusives, then how will they ever be ported to their portable?

If PS3 games can be run by a portable then this is definitive proof that blu-ray is just a format that's good for playing HD movies and does nothing for gaming.

low battery life. I think $200 would've been the sweet spot. I know it would've sold like hot cakes at that price but $250 is stretching it a bit. If they included a game then things would be better. I have doubts that people will be coming in droves to spend $250 on this thing when a lot of people already own the regular DS and DS XL and really there are almost no games for the 3DS launch.

Now add to that the poor battery life. The 3D effect may be super cool(have yet to try it) but it's not cool to run out of battery in 2 to 3 hours. That's really lame. And I know you get 8 hours if you shut off the 3D but then what is the point of this device anyway?

Remember all the talk on these boards about MGS4 being impossible to port to the 360 due to it requiring Blu-ray? LMFAO!!!

This game that "proved" the "need" for blu-ray so many years ago, will fit on a media card and will be a near perfect port on a portable! LOL!

Anyone want to come in and say it's going to take 20 media cards and will suck on the NPD? LMFAO!!!

bu bu bu blu-ray!!!!!!
