PS3 Unvieled!
Specs:
- Cell Processor 3.2 GHz running at 2 teraflops (Owns Xbox 360)
- 256MB XDR main RAM at 3.2GHz, and it will have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700MHz. (As good as Xbox 360)
- Graphics, RSX Reality Synthesizer made by NVidea GPU will be capable of 128bit pixel precision, 1080p resolution, some of the highest HD resolution around. The RSX also has 512MB of graphics render memory and is capable of 100 billion shader operations and 51 billion dot products per second. It also has more than 300 million transistors, larger than any processor commercially available today. It will be manufactured using the 90nm process, with eight layers of metal. The RSX is more powerful than two GeForce 6800 Ultra video cards, which would cost roughly $1,000 total if purchased today. (Owns Xbox 360)
- The PlayStation 3 will also sport some hefty multimedia features, such as video chat, Internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video
- Has Wireless controllers
I think the Xbox 360 had awesome specs too, but PS3 has overdone themselves. But I have a feeling that PS3 will lose money because their production cost is too high, and Xbox 360 will have a lower price, and better games (Halo 3). Which will want Sony to have PS3 at a low price, causing them to loose a lot of money, like the Xbox did in the beginning. So over all Xbox 360 will win.
If you didn't wanna read all that, my point is PS3 has a better console, but Xbox 360 will have better games, and the PS3 will loose a lot because their production cost will not cover their profit costs.

PS3 is an online machine.Sony saw the succses of xbox live and thought we could do that. Microsoft is in trouble if sony get it right this time round i wasnt that impressed with ps2 but it still outsold xbox almost 5 to 1 round the world because everyone and his dog knows what a playstation is,and the masses associate sony with cool things like the walkman and expensive tv's dvd players, where microsoft is known for making buggy operating systems and unfairly using its size and power to put compeitors out of business(rebel get firefox!). Microsoft does not have a cool factor in the world at large. Sony is also a large greedy corperation but dont have the same negative image that microsoft has. But they have never got close to a monopoly in any area of their business. Apart from maybe the odd mac user do you know anyone who uses a non windows operating system? Standardisation is good in some respects but a monopoly is not good for the consumer. It may sell in the states cause its an american product and americans like to spend their money patrioticaly(bet sony at least matches it though), but that will not cut the mustard in europe(sonys biggest market) or japan and without really cracking those markets xbox 360 will continue the trend of microsoft losing money to stay in the console game. Microsoft is a big rich company but they can only continue losing money for so long.
