How many FLOPS are in game consoles?

Surely this tells us what we already knew, PS3 is the most powerful, followed by the Xbox 360 and then the Wii.

1800 GF for the GPU of the ps3 is bull$#@!.
A 8800ultra has 500. 1800 would mean a performance liek the polaris.

I think you're all forgetting about the wii it is much less floppy than the rest but it regularly beats the others on gameplay and sales figures so all these flop numbers mean nothing if they just make pretty games that people will forget about in 6 months

To be honest, I hate most of the games on wii. They are all very linear and very, very frustrating to me. I think it all comes down to personal choice. Some people really like Wii games(I have friends who do) and some people love ps3 games. I personally love 360 games, stop making this a war and just enjoy whats there.

Your not alone, but lets try to avoid this conversation.

FLOPS (still don't get it) is relative. It hasn't proven one system to be able to play better then another, so whats the point?

Except for about 50% of the time. Even then, absolutely never in picture quality.

My Nvidia has the compatibility of a dead squirrel. its more graphically advanced per cost, but its performance is far worse.

Read the responses to the original article. The PS3 numbers are Sony's bullsh*t marketing spin. It is the machine's "potential", but as one respondent pointed out, the PS3 is not capable of reaching even 10% of that number.

So, you cannot compare the XBox 360 numbers to the PS3 numbers. It's meaningless territory where only fanbois tread. If the PS3 has an advantage on the XBox 360, it's only slight.

I remember when all this were just megaflops.

Oh, and I personally can't wait for us to reach YottaFLOPS. It just sounds so amusing. I want to go into PC World in 2036 and ask, "How many YottaFLOPS can this laptop do then?"

Flops are just how many instructions the system can handle per second. PS3, if the numbers are correct, is waaay over-kill for games. That is how PS3 does all the water effects. cool? yes. necessary for fun game? no. In the end, what developers do with a system decides which one is more enjoyable.

I think the water has more to with the engine then anything else...
