PS3, the new Saturn

***Darksaviour69*** · January 23rd, 2009, 11:16

Famously EA used just the one processor in their ports, as so they looked crap in comparison. Lobotomy software (Quake, Exhumed/powerslave and Duke Nukem) where incredible in how the pushed the Sat. They even added coloured lighting to the Duke port, that even the PC version did not have!

Back on topic, I think the PS3 is more comparable with the original Xbox. The xbox was more powerful that the PS2, yet it got loads of direct ports from the ps2. fortunately for the ps3, it has a lot more clout with publishers than the original xbox, but then the xbox was easier to develop on compared to the PS3.

so in collusion, really the PS3 is a lot like.....the PS3

ps3 is reading ports thanks to damn 360.... ;p
well soon by time, the ps3 will show its true power

the only issue is the price...

When the Saturn failed you could pick them up for next to nothing in shops, and people still didn't buy. I can't see that ever happening to the PS3 as I would buy one like a shot if I saw it for sale at a stupidly low price.

Good point. Even if it failed as a game machine (and I don't see that happening), it's one of the best media players I've ever seen. The upscaling and filtering it does on DVDs is phenomenal! Playing CDs through really sounds fantastic. Then there's RemotePlay, so I can listen to music and watch quite a bit of video anywhere I have a WiFi connection for my PSP. So people would snap these up if the price dropped enough, regardless of available games.

Either my sarcasm detector is off, or that entire post sounded a lot like Kaz Harai on steroids. But then again its been a while since I've changed the detectors battery.

The Wii was actually released after the PS3 was in both North America and Japan. Only in Europe did Wii come out before PS3.

Doesn't really matter since the Wii isn't the same generation system as the PS3 or 360 - it's a GameCube with a minor update and a funny controller. You have to compare the Wii with the PS2 or XBox, not the PS3 or 360.

Generations are determined by timing not by similarities. Wii is current gen because of when it came out. Its not a time traveler.
