Yes, after all the PS3 will have only one CELL, due to cost issues, and the decision of making a GPU on PS3 by NVIDIA, is due largely to this fact : Only ONE CELL on PS3, so there is no way that this CELL could be used as a multi-purpose processor and as a GPU in the same time ! 256 GFLOPS is not sufficient to do this?gone are the days of DREAMING of ((( a PS3 with 4 CELLS ( 4*256 GFLOPS = 1024 GFLOPS or 1 teraflops) with 1024 GFLOPS power, allowing the system to do all the graphics stuff plus AI, PHYSICS?on those CELLS without any need of a GPU, and making the dream of real time ray-tracing finally possible?)))

If this is true,

And considering the fact that XBox 360 can do a teraflop.

I think Sony's strategy here is to build a less powerful machine than XBox 360 so that it comes out to cheaper in the long run.

This strategy has worked in the current generation.

In terms of raw power PS2 is slower than Gamecube and Xbox.

What the hell are you talking about, are you defending Sony for the sake of it? First of all, PS2 was more expensive than Gamecube or XBOX when it launched. It cost Sony buttloads of money to make the PS2. It was and still is hard as hell to exploit the emotion engine at its fullest potentiel.

I see, so you are saying that Sony deliberately is making a slower machine and delaying for a year after XBOX 360 to do what exactly? Go bankrupt?

that sounds gd for every1 but Sony.

This all seems like BS to me, lets just wait a few days and we'll have info from E3 about all 3 systems. However i doubt the PS3 will b as powerful as the XBOX360, MS have more money to throw at it for wasting

While this definitely reeks of BS, I wouldn't be all too surprised if parts were true. Sony did hype the PS2 to great extents before the launch. Perhaps the epitome of hype was when one source gushed that the PS2 would have us plugging into "Matrix-like" virtual worlds due to its sheer power; not to mention the Toy Story-quality real time 3d abilities.

The end product, of course, was ever-so-slightly scaled down. Not that it was bad by any means (I certainly love mine), but hardly deservant of such lavish hype.

If you guys haven't figured it out yet, Sony sells its subpar products by hype.

MS is destroying itself right now, cause XBOX and XBOX 360 will compete against each other this christmas.

Um, if they're selling one product or the other, they're still selling their product. They're not losing at all. They may not be making as much if the sell an Xbox as opposed to a 360, but they're still making more than if they lost to a PS2.

I don't get if this those were even true that XBOX is better than PS3...

A Single Cell processor has itself 8 SPE'S & 1 PPE !

Each SPE's can be programmed differently and i believe PS3 with a single cell chip featuring Nvidia G70 and high bandwidth RAMBUS memory will be better than XBOX360 at least on spec side.
