I was wondering who do you think has the better processor because im wonderin gif the ps3s cell processor will blow everything out of the water since it boasts so much. Ps3 is gonna have blue ray so i f buy that i wont have to buy a blu ray reader for a while so that really seems like the next gen to me

Like this hasn't been done before. Like it never ends the same way...

PC and revoloution's where it's at yo. there's not much room for originality left on PS3 and xbox360.

apparently the "cell" processor is ps3s major downfall. while it can do awesome graphics, they're gonna take a big hit if you want to use the CPU for stuff like AI aswell. <<< according to some developers.

unless microsoft fix their xboxes, they'll probably tell developers to go easy to stop them overheating.

PC graphics are already on a par with ps3 demos if you can afford it. by the end of next year it will be up to the PC to show off graphics again

Originality is based on what the developers make for the system. You can't say the hardware is unoriginal. It is all circuts and wires.

Wait untill the PS3 is out before judging it otherwise your judging it on some crappy pre rendered CGI videos of games we won't see for 3 years and the fact that it's made by Sony.

yeah i know. but when every game needs brazillions of dollars funding. publishers aren't gonna be taking as many risks.

with a PC you don't need to pay for a development kit in the first place and you don't need publishers to start out with

yeah and the developers are getting lazy and unoriginal. they're cranking out the same old shit with nicer graphics, releasing it simultaneously with nearly identical quality and features on 3 or 4 different platforms. "exclusive" doesn't even mean exclusive anymore, it just means they wait a few months before releasing it on other platforms. judging by what happened with xbox/ps2/gamecube, i'll take a wild guess and say there will be a lot of games released simultaneously on x360/ps3/revolution and all three versions will be extremely similar in quality.

what unique features will each platform offer?

x360 has xbox live and windows media center integration, which is all fine & well for computer savvy people -- i haven't wanted to play online since the days of Half-Life and the original Unreal Tournament though.

revolution's "magic wand" controller is very unique, obviously designed to appeal to elderly customers and women who find the x360 and ps3 controllers too complicated & intimidating... and the fact that it could replace a whole armful of other expensive controllers (lightgun, drums, fishing reel, etc) is cool. too bad that nintendo will prolly drop the ball again by including too little memory, not supporting HDTV, ignoring internet gaming... or it turns out to be a repackaged gamecube rather than a whole new chipset design.

ps3 wins the biggest market share by default. it doesn't even need to offer unique hardware features, when it's got the level of brand-recognition/lyalty that it has. nintendo's management is too inept/eccentric to break out of its niche at this point. japanese developers and gamers are not going to support an american console no matter how good it is (it is an insularity/xenophobia/racism thing -- i know that's not a polite thing to say, but it's true)... as far as japan is concerned, "x360 wasn't invented here, it doesn't exist."

in regards to which CPU is most powerful... eh. eh.

If PS3s graphics are even similar to 360's then I give PS3 the trump card.

It has better hardware features like playing "next-gen movies" which further (and finally) bolsters a Sony format.
