[quote name='fanskad']I still think the 2-3 times figure is modesty.
And the 13-15 and 35 figures are hype.
Theoretically, based on floating point calculations, the PS2 was the strongest of the big three last time, but all the games looked the worst on that system.
The Xbox had beefier video hardware, and thus better graphics, the GCN focused on removing bottlenecks (load time, RAM speed, etc) to grab firm middle ground. I don't think these raw performance numbers are important at all.[/QUOTE]
They were pretty important early in this generation when Sega was honest in their numbers and Sony lied to hell and back in what the PS2 could do. Because of this, all the ignorant gamers flocked to the PS2 and never gave the Dreamcast a chance. In reality, the graphics between the two weren't that different. Had developers been making games on the Dreamcast for four to five years, I bet we could have seen some very pretty looking games.
