Apparently he thinks the ps3 is the better system because of it’s specs. You are wrong,I’m a Sony fanboy,so I’m not being biased..I love sony’s stuff,but I do own an xbox too so I know the other side of the story. Hardware wise the PS3 might just be slightly more powerful..but you have to remember that not many people are even going to use all the features of both systems,it’s what counts that’s going to be used the most..I don’t care what resolution the systems can handle. I care about the games,I don’t know why these topics keep floating around.Yes you are entitled to being CURIOUS about the system specs and you can have an opinion about which is better,but the opinion stays there,an opinion. Until the games are released none of these systems are better.
This is the same hype when the current systems were being released, once all 3 were finally out and running it was pretty much told over and over that the xbox was a bit more powerful and had amazing games..but the ps2 had a more robust,funner line of games.
Wait for all 3 systems to be released,let it get rolling..and the world will decided on it’s own,officially which is the best system..usually this becomes E3’s job or G4TV(it’s a tv show) ect ect.
Personally I’ll be buying both systems and can’t wait to play those games.

Kitase also revealed the Final Fantasy VII technical PS3 demo was actually a rush job, created in just a month and a half. “We created [it] right before E3. I didn’t think we could do it at first, but I called Sugimoto (Koji Sugimoto, FFX’s main programmer), and we somehow made it. I believe that if we had more time, we could have made it in a higher quality. In that sense, that demo didn’t really take much advantage of the PS3’s hardware specs. But still, we were able to make something that looked that good.

Sony’s decision to adopt a next-generation optical disc format has been welcomed by leading game publishers such as EA Games and Vivendi Universal Games, as it will allow game developers to create stunning high-definition (HD) games without having to worry about the additional storage requirements of HD.

maby you dont need every thing it has right now but some day you will be greetfull for the free extra stuff and when that will be is when you actully probly get one
-Backward compatibility: The new console plays all games from the current Nintendo GameCubeTM generation. But there’s more...
-The console also will have downloadable access to 20 years of fan-favorite titles originally released for Nintendo 64, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and even the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
-Easy expansion: A bay for an SD memory card will let players expand the internal flash memory.
Two disc formats, one slot: Instead of a tray, a single, innovative, self-loading media bay will play both 12-centimeter optical discs used for the new system as well as Nintendo GameCube discs. Owners will have the option of equipping a small, self-contained attachment to play movies and other DVD content.
-The specs: The system boasts 512 megabytes of internal flash memory, wireless controllers, two USB 2.0 ports and built-in Wi-Fi access. A worldwide network of Nintendo players can gather to compete in a comfortable, inviting environment. Revolution’s technological heart, a processing chip developed with IBM and code-named “Broadway," and a graphics chip set from ATI code-named “Hollywood," will deliver game experiences not previously possible.
nintendo is keeping alot secret but here are questions and answers abou the revolution...
Q: What is the Nintendo Revolution?
A: The official codename for the successor to GameCube.
Q: Is 'Revolution' the final name of Nintendo’s new console?
A: No. Nintendo confirmed at E3 2005 that the title 'Revolution' is a codename. A final name for the new console has not yet been selected. It should be noted, however, that the company said the same thing of Nintendo DS, which ultimately proved to be the handheld’s official name.
Q: When was the Nintendo Revolution codename announced?
A:: On May 11, 2004 at Nintendo’s pre-Electronics Entertainment Expo 2004 press conference, which took place in Los Angeles, California. (The console had been tentatively referred to as “GCNext” by press before the unveiling of the official codename.)
Q: Who announced the codename Nintendo Revolution?
A: Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. On stage at Nintendo’s pre-E3 2004 press conference, Iwata said:
“Different also defines our approach to our next home system. It won’t simply be new or include new technologies. Better technology is good, but not enough. Today’s consoles already offer fairly realistic expressions so simply beefing up the graphics will not let most of us see a difference. So what should a new machine do? Much more. An unprecedented gameplay experience. Something no other machine has delivered before.
“The definition for a new machine must be different. I want you to know that Nintendo is working on our next system and that system will create a gaming revolution. Internal development is underway.
“I could give you our technical specs, as I’d know you’d like that, but I won’t for a simple reason: they really don’t matter. The time when horsepower alone made all the difference is over.
“Work on Revolution is well underway. When you see it you will be excited because you will experience a gaming revolution."
Q: How long has the Revolution been in development?
A: Preliminary development on Revolution began shortly after the release of Nintendo GameCube.
Q: Will Revolution feature more powerful hardware than GameCube?
A: Yes.
Q: What are Revolution’s technical specs?
A: Mostly unknown.
In March 2005, both IBM and ATI confirmed that they have been making the CPU and GPU for Revolution respectively.
In April 2005, MoSys, which supplied RAM for GameCube, announced that it would also be providing the memory solution for Revolution.
At E3 2005, Nintendo said that with Revolution it is aiming to make a “small, quiet and affordable console." It stressed this point and avoided direct questions about technical specifications. Nintendo executives also stated that the company is not interested in engaging in a technical battle with competitors Sony and Microsoft.
In an interview with IGNcube, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto offered further insight:
“You know, in regard to the power of the Nintendo Revolution versus, say, the Xbox 360, we’re looking at making a small, quiet, affordable console," he said. “If you look at trying to incorporate all that, of course we might not have the horsepower that some other companies have, but if you look at the numbers that they’re throwing out, are those numbers going to be used in-game? I mean, those are just numbers that somebody just crunched up on a calculator. We could throw out a bunch of numbers, too, but what we’re going to do is wait until our chips are done and we’re going to find out how everything in the game is running, what its peak performance is, and those are the numbers that we’re going to release because those are the numbers that really count."
In an interview with the Seattle Post Intelligence, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata elaborated on the company’s philosophy where next-generation technology is concerned:
“Sony and Microsoft are taking about the same approach for the future by making machines with powerful and sophisticated technology. Nintendo is taking a little bit different approach, and I think this is an interesting contrast," Iwata said. “Of course, we are applying advances in technology. But when you use those advances just to boost the processing power, the trade-off is that you increase power consumption, make the machine more expensive and make developing games more expensive. When I look at the balance of that trade-off — what you gain and what you lose — I don’t think it’s good. Nintendo is applying the benefits of advanced technology, but we’re using it to make our machines more power-efficient, quieter and faster to start. And we’re making a brand-new user interface. I think that way of thinking is the biggest difference."
Reports from development studios seem to second these statements. Software houses in the know have suggested that Revolution will not be as powerful as Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.
Nintendo has revealed that Revolution will be backward compatible with GameCube, play both GCN discs and proprietary new 12cm discs, go online via Wi-Fi connections, be able to download software from the Internet, use 512MB flash memory to save data, and feature wireless controllers. In addition, the console will boast two USB 2.0 ports.
thats all the info i have since intendo is being so quiet about the controllers ect.

For all the people who said that the Xbox 360 will be better,you will be wrong.For now till spring 06 alot can happen to improve on an already far superior console.As for the Price you quoted,its rummoured to be goin on sale for the same launch price as PS1/PS2 went for $370.Well if you think of what next-gen tech it has,that got to be a bargain.Come on you get a console that will play amazing games & it comes with a Blueray drive for playing next-gen movies.Shame you Xbox 360 fanboys won’t have a next-gen drive(just a Dual layer DVD Drive).Think about it by the end of next year the Xbox 360 will out of date.PS3 all the way.

one thing i dont see happening on other consoles is a full OS. when the HDD comes out for ps it will have linux pre-installed so you could use it as a computer. the ps3 also has online storage of up to 1 terabyte. with the read rate of the blu-ray disc, it doesnt really need a HDD all the time.

ps3 is the superior SYSTEM, based on its specs... the games dictate which is the better format. Sony have always had the most games and the most stylish, most fun, most tactical games to meet the console market.
Globaly, xbox and Game cube are equal in sales while the PS2 has got an incredable lead in 1st place with 75 to 80% of the market using PS2 consoles. So sony will once again have an incredable support with games for ps3, with over 30 games already confirmed for PS3 release in 2006, its going to have incredable sales even more so than ps2. Plus hundreds of producers and developers contracted with sony for development for PS3 games to support the console further on.
a link to ps3’s confirmed games...
