PS3 vs X-Box 360 (specs)

<< < (2/10) > >>

Don Seer:
^ yeah that twice as powerful is the TFLOPS figure for the processors

xbox has a lot of fast dual purpose memory for both video and game storage. this is massively flexible as far as development goes.

ps3 has half as much dedicated video memory which is a bit faster.. the other 256 is the same speed at xbox... but again half as much..

u see.. under the microsoft strategy.. you could say use 75% of total memory for video/textures etc.. its up to the developer.. with sony they're forced... and would have to swap textures in/out  from the slower memory..

= more code for the developer + more time.. even if it is faster.. unncessary time will be needed in places on PS3.. where M$ designed out that kind of difficulty...

things like this affect overall performance in the end..



IMO sony are taking more risks.. it may end up having the odd amazing game but it will need talent to extract the full potential.. its already more difficult to develop for.. M$ look after the development side really well.. they had a proven environment in visual studio .net (hell thats what i use day in day out..) into which the xbox dev kit plugs in.. i know what i'd rather write code for!

Both XB360 & PS3 will be backwards compatible.. PS3 will take both PS2 and PS1 games.. (Does anyone still play PS1 games ?? lol)

Don't forget that Sony's XDR Ram is a lot faster than the GDDR RAM, so PS3 have the advantage in ALL power-related areas..
It remains to be seen if Sony can match XBox360's game titles though, seems like Microsoft did their job getting games for the new console.

Some useful info:

PS3 will be 35 times faster than PS2.
XBox 2 will be 15 times faster than Xbox.
Nintendo Revolution will be 2 or 3 times faster than GameCube.

Did u see the demo of unreal 3 that those guys made for ps3? it only took em 2 months and see how good it looks...and it runs without any problems with all the effects and everything...it was also real time...people are saying that there shouldnt be problems developing games for ps3...
