To expand on what KDR said, the SPEs in Cell ar very simple, they are great at math and nothing else.

ITS ALL ABOUT THE NUMBER CRUNCHING!
It can't just display an object on screen at someones whim! It has to go through countless calculations OF NUMBERS to turn the dots on your screen into a mix of only three colours.

Erm... does one not have to take the whole system's architecture into consideration when trying to find out what is the most efficient way to display and process the info on screen? It's no use having fast processors, number cruncgers, whatever and your system has bottlenecks... in some component/bus/memory system/gfx sub-system.

Sony themselves state: Design and specifications are subject to change without notice. Thursday, Thursday, I want you now!

So you believe the stuff that the competition showed? They are real and ingame?

Grossly underpowered hardware

Now that is the truth! Wait till you see the Revolution games in real-time.

A new GBA (wtf)

Agreed. Altho I am not a handheld gamer.

And game downloads that most of us own already, or have downloaded onto our computers/xboxs.

I am not one of those.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Revolution a lost battle?

Well, well... what have we here? Ppl spelling doom and gloom without solid facts? Hailing in the victory of the... console wars... also without all the facts? What a sad bunch some of us gamers are.

Kaplin: The Revolution will be 2-3 times more powerful than the Cube = Multiply Zelda:TP and RE4 by 2-3. And what do you have? Nintendo is known to downplay their hardware. The PS2 can push ~70 million polygons. The Cube ~12 million. Look at the games on both systems and then tell me if specs mean anything. On paper, yes. But in real world environments? Will PS3 be another PS2? I dunno, but I will not be surprised. When taking cost into effect, I will be the 1st to show surprise if Sony delivers this time. It seems everyone is so quick to forget the stunts that Sony pulled with the PS2. Maybe they will be doing the same this time? I dunno, but I have no faith in them after the way they suckered me in with the PS2-hype.

Nintendo delivers.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Why is I-Ninja bad?!

I absolutley adore this game. Simple and fun! Yes, fun! Something that most devs have forgotten. It's all about blood and gore and mature. It might have been a flop financially, but a great game, IMO.
