ATI developed a whole new Gfx Core for the Xbox360, while Sony took an existing one, and i believe xbox360 has double the amount of ram, plus the
Xbox360 has 3.2 Ghz of processor on 3 cores so that's effectively 3 processors whilst the PS3 has one processor. im sick of consoles anyway but sony just piss me off annoy:

I think the PS3 looks good, not great though and the controller needs some work. The same goes for the 360.

Maybe the Revolution will surprise us and look fantastic.
the lawsuit wasnt against the design of the controller, it was just the rumble feature. they can use their design as much as they want.

PS3 > Xbox 360

Im sure some 3rd party company will design an exact replica of the PS2 controller.

wow gj on the controller. looks like a double ended dildo bent in half.

[quote:3bc9e]IBM can now rightfully claim PowerPC technology is powering every single next-generation console, and it will be interesting to see what, if any, differences exist between the CPUs in the PS3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Revolution. It'll also be interesting to see how Apple leverages that fact to promote its own PowerPC-based Macs.[/quote:3bc9e]

wait so they are using mac chips to power this?
