Wrong "Inquirer" -- you're thinking of The National Inquirer, tabloid par excellence. This site, I've never heard of.

He was being sarcastic.

I don't know the site, but the google info on it is:

European site for computer hardware news. Covers processors, graphics cards and major hardware providers


Regardless on how reliable the source is, I wouldn't be suprised if it was bogus, or if it was correct.

I don't know about the specifics, but there are serious problems at all levels. Fixable, but serious. With more time, they'd be just fine. With a November launch... I don't know.

They took a big gamble with Cell. We'll see how it plays out. One thing is for sure, they're not in a good position to handle anymore unexpected problems, they're already up against it for November as it is.

SCEA's PR chief just resigned, for reasons unknown. Might not have anything to do with this, but we'll see.

This site hasn't been very accurate PS3 news-wise either.

They are pretty damn reliable. Also, great for leaking pc stuff (video cards, new cpu sockets, etc.) months in advance. Great site for any person with their head in the current pc hardware scene. And, sometimes, a little video game hardware will sneak on to the site.

QFT, although the site has an interesting writing style I have never seen them wrong about anything. I also love how they leak absolutely everything irregardless how much a company protests.

Also, I was just gonna post this, you beat me to it by an hour.

I do belive the article is accurate, I just hope they fix it before launch. That 16mb/s read speed is OMGWTF, I mean holy crap is that ever slow.

Someone hunt down epobirs, b/c I don't understand what the the article is trying to say. Not very clearly, anyway.

I think the article may be true, I would say we as consumers have heard to much about cell tech and blue ray, hence the selling points and thus the rest of the tech was to a degree overlooked, causeing the final product to be simply par or maybe slightly better than teh MS offering, Similar to the way it was before when xbox/gamecube came out later and was slightly better but because of "fanboyism", "SOME" wouldn't look to anything other than Sony. I am not a fanboy I have owned all 3 consoles and in my opinion

PS2, when they get a great game they get a GREAT one, (God of War, Devil May Cry and Tiger woods always played better with the Ps2 controller)

Gamecube, The best so numerous amout of great games and just fun, always was teh console to accompany my PC gameing.

Xbox, Technically the best Graphics and I liked its sound output better, but great exclusive games were missing and the controller didn't work for me in fight games like the others controllers.


Now you have what will come to be Sony will sell the most of course, but Wii will be the funnest console, Xbox 360 for number of quality games, and PS3 will have Great Exclusive but be sparse and be to many first person shooters that play better on computer anyway. I think this time around the market owership will be closer to even distriputed maybe more like, I am guessing, 18~20% nintendo, 50 someodd % Sony and the other 25% or so going to Microsoft. Alot do to the affordablity and game library that owning Wii/Xbox360 together will be in comparison to the cost of just owning PS3.

The Inq is hit or miss. Their thing is getting news on new CPUs and GPUs like someone else said, months in advance. In their rush to be first with all that kind of info, they do publish some faulty information. Sometimes a lot of faulty information. It's like a technology tabloid. I'd say the likliness of some/all of that article being true is about 60%. There was a reason they delayed the Spring 06 launch and it was not because of anything to do with Blu-Ray.

Posted here since direct comparisons to the 360 are made.

It's the Inquirer so I'd take some of this with a grain of salt, but unless he completely made those numbers up (not likely), well....uh, I'm not technically knowledgeable enough to be able to refute his claims. Maybe someone else is.

It does lend a tad of oomph to the thought process of the PS3 being a trojan horse Blu-Ray player that just so happens to have game console features. If the game end of it is underpowered, Sony won't lose quite as much money.

Wow. The PS3 might be the new N64 - or worse - the new Jaguar...

The Ps3 only has 1/2 the triangles of the 360.

ONLY 1/2 THE FUCKING TRIANGLES!
