PS3 Too Powerful?

Or you can have all three.

And the 'specialised' nature of building your own PC is exaggerated. The two most important parts of a gaming PC are the CPU and the graphics card. Which gives you the option of AMD and Intel for the CPU and then Nvidia and, erm, AMD again for the graphics card.

For the rest of the components the difference matters far less.

i have all 3. ps3 and 360 are dust collecters. pc sits in front raping my eyes on a daily basis. not to mention using sony mdr-zx700's for immersion enhancement.

Thanks for that. Any other interesting information about the entertainment mediums in your house?

How many of your books have got folded or creased pages?
 
hd was on pc many years before consoles got it. people buy more gaming consoles then pc sadly so time was not of the essence. Sony got people hooked with the ps2 and ps1 making them diehard sony fans. The original Xbox stole some of those fans making them into diehard sony fans. I myself went with pc.

I'd rather sleep on a $1000 luxury bed than a $200 cot.

you spend 1/3 of your life playing video games because you have to?

interesting...
 
it was confirm that ps4 will not exist just yet. http://www.gamespot.com/events/ces2012/story.html?sid=6348428&tag=updates;editor;all;title;4

just like they said before the ps3 will last up to 10 years or more. this prove that ps3 is too powerful that current time cant keep up. developers did not take ps3 power to full potential. most games like Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 is only taking 7% of ps3 power....... while Uncharted 3, Final Fantasy 13, Gran Turismo 5 and Soul Calibur 4 is only taking 40% of ps3 power. there is still 60% of ps3 power that hasnt been use to full extend.

xbox 360 is dated and has low power regarding power capacity therefore it needs a new successor and the new successor probly be lower than ps3 full power. so you will see a new ps3 game that look way better than a xbox 720 game.

Sounds like a load of fanboy garbage, the PS3 may use a different architecture and it is know to be faster but it isn't that big of a difference between the two. I'm sure they could drag out a console for ten years but they would be severely outdated when competitors unleash newer technology. The next generation of consoles will bring many technologies being used in PC gaming; personally I would love to see a Playstation or Xbox with anti-aliasing.

Anyone who goes around talking about the power percentage usage of a console obviously is just pulling numbers out of their arse. Things that are legitimate talking points would include, GPU architecture differences, CPU architecture differences, video memory, memory bandwidth, GFLOPs and any other actual technical numbers or measurable real world results.

Yes I know you are probably just trolling but really at least try and sound like your statement has an ounce of truth to it.
 
Geez, I wish people would quit taking that out of context. Yes, they said the plan was a 10-year life-cycle. No, they did not say that only meant one console from Sony for 10 years at a time.

Exactly, they will just pop out a PS4 right after Microsoft shows their hand. Sony will try and 1Up them with a product slightly faster with roughly all the same features. Development of next gen consoles start even before the release of the newest one.

To everyone else: Don't let the wool get pulled over your sheepy eyes if you think for one second that Sony "just started" development on the PS4 recently.

Also I fully expect Sony to do the same thing they did with PS2 where the new console is ungodly expensive and they continue selling the old one at a reduced price to lure in the poor saps to buy an aged console.
 
Nintendo's NES is more powerful than the PS3. Thats all I have to say.

Undoubtedly we have only scratched the surface of NES development. Industry experts have clearly shown that it has at least 89% unused power capacity. Once that is reached clearly Nintendo will continue to bring us even more power with an expansion pack to add new features like 3D, new born kittens and smell-o-vision.

ps3 will last up to 10 years. during that period, sony will develope a new hardware but still is the ps3. just like fat and slim ps3 but this will be called "PLAYSTATION ORGIN" which has the power of a ps3 but with higher memory and new features added. plus backward compatible from ps1 and ps2.

it is called PLAYSTATION 3 ORGIN because everything is in this hardware right here.... you can play all your old playstation games all in one hardware and the future ps3 games have the graphic of a xbox 720 or even better thanks to the future-proof cell cpu! orgin..... where the playstation is orgin here. PLAYSTATION 3 ORGIN will be the last physical hardware.... once the consumer and tech is ready for digital gaming in their tv without any hardware that is when the playstation 3 orgin era ends and on to digital gaming.

PLAYSTATION ORGIN is the complete package! the perfect playstation...... the perfect cell!!!!

349.99 at launch. customers with psn id from ps3 gets a discount..... only pay 269.99!!!! ofcourse this is speculation and guess.
