If only bcc were opensourced too.
I'll hit you up with my findings after the June report. Kotaku spin their numbers in much the same way MS tried to make Vista look good.
All current gen is failing miserably compared to previous gen. PS3 only has leverage over its direct competitors for being a long term product which is questionable, but not imporrsible for the 360 too.
Actually the numbers released were based on the data collected, not the presumed data collected.
That's some lovely heresay there. Shame there's no PCs using the Cell to benchmark against.
Not one of my brightest moments =]
Well, duh. I didn't just pull random numbers out of thin air though. ...
... <sigh> That will require me to go digging for stuff I read and didn't bookmark. You'll just have to wait for that. Maybe after the w/e...
What other gimmicks are we talking about? At least the motion sensing is part of an ACTUAL controller. BD has proven itself to not be just a gimmick. Um, wait, it's a storage medium, how is that a gimmick again?
Linux = free development?
Everything is open. There are some libs that need conversion to Cell, which isn't Sonys fault and the GPU is closed, which is nVidia's fault. Opening the GPU is obviously the biggest step... but with nVidias policies that won't be happenning until THEY release Cell drivers, which could be never.
I don't see how you can knock Kotaku when you've failed to reference anything you've said.

By your gold PS2 standard though, the PS3 is clearly failing.

the PS3 performance is weighted by Folding@Home on the basis of the calculations it is capable of performing.

it's more than likely a low-end Intel Core chip beats the pants off of Cell in most other benchmarks and otherwise averages overall better performance.

You actually brought up this comparison, not me.

I think you may be a little flattering with your figures there too, every PS3 is standard whereas there are loads of different specced PCs contributing.

So where's the proof?

So the PS3's gimmicks, Blu-Ray and that motion sensing controller aren't zany enough?

This leads to me wondering why Sony doesn't want to revive the Net Yaroze idea?
Linux = free development?
They could always spend a bit of time opening up the hardware there, which would at least improve things for homebrew games, SDL ports, etc.
