Probably bcause of the research and development costs of the cell cpu, even though its not what developers wanted.

If you believe all the marketing bullshit thats flying around, theyre probably on par with each other as far as power goes. Ps3 has the cell cpu which is nothing more than a ton of hype (emotion engine anyone?), and its graphics setup is more or less a speeded up nvidia 7800gtx. The ati graphics for the xbox however is a totally new design thats never been done before, has 10mb of ram dedicated to letting every game run with 4x anti aliasing.

Saying that though i doubt i'll buy either. sleeping:

Gerv, by the time PS3 comes out computer graphics will be better anyway, just like PS2. Everybody thought that was going to own, and then when it came out there were already games on the computer that were better, but I'm sure you're already aware of that.

I think we're all aware of that.

But at least with the consoles you won't have to upgrade every year to play every new game on max settings, plus its cheaper, and I actually don't mind controllers one bit.

That's my two cents, anyways.

it will own the competition.

The games are better than all these "enhanced" graphics on comp games. They put out pretty graphics and don't waste time on the fucking soul of the game.

One of ps3's big boasting points is the graphics, one of ps2's big boasting points was the graphics (which for the majority of games sucked). plzdie:
