Hands On With the Close to Final PS3 Dev Kit

Interesting...
The hands-on evidence is beginning to mount up. We're talking about a machine barely superior to Xbox 360 - not by any significant margin. It's certainly obvious this machine is not "twice" as powerful as 360, let alone a generational leap ahead. But the gap could become bigger: "Realistically, as libraries and experience with both machines grow, I think the PS3 will start showing things the 360 will choke at," offers the source. "But Sony will have to make available to us libraries and new routines for that to happen - something they've been severely lacking at so far."

Interesting read. It's about what I expected, though. Did people really think that the PS3 would "twice as powerful" as the Xbox 360, as the article mentions, or is that some strawman they keep throwing out there?

The part about cell allowing a greater number of dynamic objects shows promise.
Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?
