PS3 = Xbox 360?
Over on Xbox Today, they've got a little piece about the graphical prowess of the PS3 compared to the Xbox 360. Now, I'd always figured that since the PS3 came after, they had more time to develop it and improve it, so the graphics would eventually be better, though it might take a while for developers to get there. I mean, compare the early PS2 games to their equivalent, the later Dreamcast titles. Personally, as I sat playing Soul Calibur, I didn't understand what all the fuss was about the PS2. My Dreamcast looked just fine to me. It wasn't until later that I saw any difference.
So I would expect that right now, the 360 would look better, because developers are getting used to it, but in a year, the PS3 would make the 360 look like a 3DO. But according to an interview that BioWare president Greg Zeschuk gave to Eurogamer, he doesn't see it. "If everyone's waiting for this huge gap," he says, "its just not going to happen. By the end of this generation, but PS3 and Xbox 360 will look awesome."
So there you go. We're all equal. Can't we all just get along? Or at least the Sony and Microsoft fanboys can gang up on the Nintendo fanboys. Everybody knows the Wii is just like two GameCubes stuck together! Kidding... Kidding...

Come now. The Wii is definitely not two Gamecubes taped together.
It's one and a half, at most.
Not that it matters since everyone but Nintendo is releasing PS2 games for it.
This is the most disappointing thing about the PS3 in my opinion. The CPU on the PS3 is great and all, but graphically it's not that far ahead of the curve. Not to mention some of those cores are dedicated to just the operating system. I think there was also a HUGE bottleneck in one of the memory pipe lines, the larger one if I remember correctly.
Too bad no one seems to compare the hardware failures of the 360. I've gone through three so far, red rings and random freezing. My PS3 (and Wiis) have yet to have things like that happen. The games on the 360 may be fun and pretty, but if you keep having to send in your console to be fixed so often, does it matter?
