Gamerankings GR:AW
PC 90.0%
PlayStation 2 57.0%
Xbox 360 90.9%
Xbox 66.5%

Het is maar wat je fantastisch noemt, ik vind de cijfers voor current-gen toch behoorlijk tegenvallen. . Ik ga er dan ook vanuit dat er meer verschilt dan alleen de graphics.

De 360 versie is 3rd person, op de ps2 is het een fps.
Dat verschilt nogal qua gameplay, me dunkt. .

Als je zo redeneert is elk spel waarin je kan springen een platformer .

During a wide ranging interview/discussion on Europe 1 radio last night, Georges Fornay, Managing Director of SCE France discussed the PlayStation 3, amongst other new consumer technology products. Reports on the web suggest that he might have indicated a price for PS3 around 500 Euros or between 499 and 599. This is a mistranslation and/or misunderstanding of the discussion, which was actually focused on the relative value of PS3 as a Bluray Disc player.

Referring to a previous discussion about the roughly $1,000 price point of BD players, the interviewer asked whether a price point of around $500 (dollars, not Euros) was about right for the PS3. Mr Fornay explained that, with BD and HD functionality, PS3 at this price would be cheap for such functionality, but that current video games machines were significantly below this price.

At no time did he suggest or indicate a specific price point for PS3, and any reports that he did so are incorrect.

He summarised by saying that PS3 would be expensive when one looked at the price of a video games machine, at far below 500 Euros, but extremely good value when looking at BD and HD technology inside.

No official announcement has yet been made on the price of the PS3.

quote:

George Fornay makes a point of specifying that it never announced price of launching for PlayStation 3 which in addition was not fixed to date. A question of the journalist of Europe 1 mentioned the price of 500 $ for the PS3. George Fornay answered by making a parallel with the price of the game consoles which it located well below 500 Euros and the price of the readers Blu Ray for which the journalist had mentioned the price of 1000 Euros and more. George Fornay specified that it would be in this fork, i.e. between a price well below 500 Euros and 1000 Euros and more. It acted of a personal analysis within the framework of a total reasoning and not of an unspecified advertisement of price.

quote:

Journalist: A question that the players are precisely posed, it is the price of this console, one sees figures which circulate regularly on the Web... 500$ according to the rumour: one is close to reality or one moves away from there?

George Fornay: Eh well listen, if one takes the aspect Blu Ray/HD, one spoke about reader Blu Ray has 1000 euros and more. Thus it will be extremely cheap when taking into consideration this aspect. When the aspect play is looked at, today it is true that the game consoles rather had a price well below 500 euros. I would say, that we will be in this fork: it will be expensive for the video games part, it will be extremely cheap when one looks at the whole of technologies which it integrates.

Cell Designer Talks PS3

By N. Evan Van Zelfden

On Wednesday evening, in Austin Texas, H. Peter Hofstee delivered a technical lecture about PS3's IBM Cell Processor, speaking also to Next Generation about his $400 million creation...
Image "I’m an IBMer," began Hofstee, chief architect of Cell. "There were a lot of IBMers on the project. It was done here in Austin, at the IBM campus…But it really was Sony, and Ken Kutaragi that was the driver for this project.

"And he spent quite a bit of money on it. $400 million for a processor…this is about as serious as it gets," said Hofstee.

"Remarkably," Hofstee responded to a question about size, "this chip is almost exactly the same size, in square millimeters, as the first chip that went into the PlayStation2. That’s about as explicit an answer as I can give you."

He added, "My dream is that everyone who has a PlayStation can start programming with Cell. But, Hofstee also pointed out, "I think the biggest problem is to find ways to make it effective for the programmers."

Game processors

"With game processors," Hofstee noted, "Because of the economics of how game systems seems to have worked in the past – you always have to wait and see if it works that way going forward – is that game developers get a stable platform for five or six years. And because that is sort of how it works, there is a big focus on chip size and power and cost reduction over that period."

Next-Gen asked Hofstee how he felt, as a scientist, developing technology for games. "I think games are an interesting application area, but quite clearly, Cell is not just for games. There are many other areas it can be used. Games are the thing that inspired us to do it."

Next-Gen also mentioned the "pain in my ass," quote by John Carmack, in reference to developing for the cell processor. "I think whenever you have competing platforms," Hofstee responded, "There are people who really like one platform vs. the other. I’m not sure I agree with…he didn’t give me very many reasons why he feels that way. I got the impression that he’s just someone who likes PCs more."

Eigenlijk zegt die Peter Hofstee dus niet veel meer dan wat er al bekend was over Cell.

Nou ik durf zo langzamerhand wel te stellen dat de PS3 of ontiegelijk duur wordt, of Sony gaat enorme verliezen op de hardware maken, niet te vergelijken met enige voorgaande console.

Want stel dat ze voor 600 euro verkopen, dan maken ze dus 0,0 winst op de BR die erin zit om nog maar te zwijgen van de technologie waar t ons gamers toch in eerste instantie om gaat: Cell en de graphics chip. En dan de rest van de hardware er nog bij (geheugen, moederbord, geluid).

Dus tenzij sony nog een konijn in de hoge hoed heeft zitten, reken ik op een zware aanslag op de bankrekening. Of ie het waard is is een tweede. Ik zou liever niet zien dat een nieuwe technologie als BR zo'n zwaar stempel op de PS3 zou leggen. Dan hadden we m nu waarschijnlijk al kunnen importeren namelijk en qua games zou het niks uitmaken, alleen dat je in de toekomst misschien een keer schijfje zou moeten wisselen......
