Unfortunately so. Note to self: never go to AGN in the school's media center when people are around anymore.
And for the record, Pineconn != Pineconn lolz.

No. The PS3 uses a NVidia graphics chip on a similar level of the ATI chip used in the 360. There are relatively minor differences between the chips' capability.
The whole big hoopla is the Cell CPU which in theory could drive some beefy phsyics or something, or possibly more in depth AI... maybe? I don't think they realized how the excess potential CPU power doesn't equal great games.

In high school I would always clear the cookies afterwards, because I didn't want the crazies getting on AGN (as if!!)
At least not the ones from my school.

Uh oh. That might be a good idea. And what's worse, they'd be able to track me down easily since my e-mail address has my name in it... :sweat:

Seriously, why would you do that? Oh, and hurry up and find me an artist. We need to get this thing done.
Anyway, back on topic. Perhaps pusing and objective was the wrong wording. How about influencing others and the tech they use.
Actually, I can back up Beldaran on this one. He hit the nail right on the head with his post.

Not to mention that it also sold 600,000 through out Europe for its launch. Source:BBC
The market is always growing. So ofcourse it's the fastest selling system. The market was ALOT smaller during the NES or SNES eras. It's alot bigger in this generation making such statements easy.
...Although it also outsold the 360 and Wii. Are those numbers from Sony? Last time I checked up on this (a couple of days ago) There were some arguments over the validity of the numbers. But anyway, I can say that i'm suprised. I have no idea why anyone would want a PS3 right now. Did you guys in Europe fall for the ads, brand name, or what? Because over here in the US (and Japan too), the PS3 isn't exactly the must have item.
From what I hear, Sony (and therefore the PS3) is much bigger in Europe than it is here.
the ps3 is harder to code for, therefor game quality is reduced as a majority, who cares about physics?
the xbox 360 is easier to code for, more RAM for it to retain data, less disc access due to the ability to cache more data into RAM, better games due to it being eaiser to code for and as such the xbox will have a greater number of great games then the ps3.
