Xbox already showed. It had nothing exciting as far as games go.

How did the graphics/gameplay appear.
I know PS will have the best titles, they always did.
but Im also curious in the hardware... Xbox sounds like its pretty well stacked.
- fate_redux0
Well, in terms of processing abilities, the Xbox is about half gigaflops and handles half the floating point operations of the PS3.
The game-linup for the Xbox has looked really weak. You'll hear "Halo" muttered over and over, but beyond that and some racing games, Ghost Recon is the only somewhat decent thing viewable, and there isn't much to view in terms of footage.
I'm really impressed with the game selection and graphics with the PS3.

Isn't IBM making the processors for both Xbox 360 and PS3?
- fate_redux0
codfather, yeah, and the Nintendo Revolution.

Well isn't that a bit strange, IBM making the processors for 3 head on competitors, where Sony are claiming their cell is X amount more powerfull than XB 360?
- randoman0
I might be wrong, but from my understanding, IBM just fabricates the chips that these companies design... it's not like they all run off IBM designed chips, rather just variations of PPC architecture.
I think Nintendo CPU is very close to G5 (close enough that they can dev and run code on Apples now) while Xbox is modified PPC and the Cell is something completely different all together (the Cell is one core while Nintendo is 4 and Xbox 3).
Will this much going on in the console department, I would expect desktops/laptops to triple or quadruple in speed over the next year...

Oh My Goodness.
My [already dubious] participation in reality will end 2006.
I've got 12 months to meet, mate, spawn and leave some grimy mark on this world.

i'm stunned by the graphics...

the controllers look weird.... not suuuure its comfortable

I think the next big thing is for NINTENDO. They are funking tired of being in the backseat... they want to lead again like in the good years. 1989 reprazent!
We all want NINTENDO to be the best anyways, dont we?

YEP :-) there are still the best at making games.

Sod Nintnedo - The PS3 isn't about games any more - it's redefining reality into something more tangible and engaging than the shit we have to put with outdoors.
Welcome to the third age of man, people..

Wonder if this is another Red Dead Revolver or a movie tie-in? I know they're doing The Warriors for PS2 so they might do a game version of one of the classics.

"Its not s much about hardware as it is with games. Nintendo needs some better titles or franchises"
What? Nintendo is still making the best games out of the three big players. Zelda, Metroid Prime, Pikmin, Paper Mario, Smash Brothers are great titles and they are still innovating with stuff like Elektroplankton.
Nintendo could quite well take the second place this generation.
