PS3 ads still peddling potentials

[wraggster]

A pair of new PlayStation 3 ads are telling the same old story, and telling it well. The uninitiated might believe that Blu-ray's 50 GB capacity is necessary for next-gen gaming and that the Cell chip is "the future" of processing power, but are you buying it yet?

How about this: let's match the Cell up against a triple core 3+ Ghz PowerPC. Are we really looking at "the future" then?

But let's forget about PCs for the moment; just focus on console gaming. So the PS3's packing a lot of potential, right? But who's exploiting it? Are you willing to believe -- as the "Smarter" ad implies -- that Incognito has assigned programmers to render unique air currents into Warhawk? Are you willing to believe that it's just space, 50 GB to be exact, that's needed to bring virtual worlds to life? Sure, that's unrivaled capacity, but how many tens of millions of dollars will need to be spent on art assets to fill it? It's not just "time" that's holding back the PS3, it's money.

hmm.... about the PS3 Cells and why it is important...
is total bull$#@!.

1) My computer outpowers ps3 in every single way (e.g 8 GB ram, )

It is NOT streamlined for gaming and does not have eight different processors dedicated for gaming.

Its the same argument again and again.

i am veru excited about the ps3, but with the graphics and power,no amount of pr bull$#@! will make me beleive them, the proof is in the pudding.

Cell processor is the same bullcrap than the emotion engine of the ps2.

The ps3 isn t a bad hardware. but get real a top pc is far more powerfull than the ps3.

actually if u port a pc game on the 360 and the ps3 there lot of chance your game look better on the 360...

"It is NOT streamlined for gaming and does not have eight different processors dedicated for gaming."

But then again, my PC was built from the ground for Gaming.

It has the newest graphics card, physics cards...etc...

To the people who think blue-ray will win.

They should think again... because microsoft will probably make all there pc's support HD DVD.

I fail to

a) see how this is even possible to compare thus far.
b) see any proof backing this up what so ever (PS3 is not out)
c) see how the bolded part makes sense

Oh shut-up, its been disproven again and again. It can't match up to the PS3 at all.

You're running critical Windows or other operating system processes in the background which are taking up processing power AND memory. As in, its not dedicated for gaming.

Those processes don't take up so much. Lets say 128 mb of ram max. (my computer has 8GB) And it does not take so much processing power either.

The PS3 will always be weaker then PC.



But then again, there are no games for PC yet made, that require so much processing power.

BUT theres CRYSIS (for PC) which can not run on any console, if not downgrounded.
