Det her handler om Playstation 2 vs X-Box grunden til det er skrevet på engelsk er fordi det er langt nemmere. Hvis i vil spamme så bare gør det.
Stats are nothing !
Anyway why has everyone failed to notice that X-Box is 32bit PC hardware while PS2 is 128bit. Every tick of that 300mhz processor on the PS2 can process about 4 times the data than the X-Box can in every tick of its processor. Sure X-Box ticks faster but only 3 times faster than a PS2 whle processing only a quarter of the data per tick than a PS2. OK this is not a scientific comparison but is more accurate than just numbers alone.I find it rediculous that Microsoft are trying to sell an hardware architecture designed for word processing and payrolls as a dedicated games machine! Telling people … “Oh yeah you need a hard disk in your console to make games better”. No you need a HD so Microsoft can get some incarnation of their OS and Web browser into your console and home. How many dedicated game playing arcade machine designs have a HD in there ?? I rest my case. X-Box is nother but a trogan horse to prevent MS loosing out to home PC users moveing over to web enabled consoles.
Also another thing to bear in mind is that X-Box uses Direct-X. The tricks for getting the best out of the X-Box hardware have all been well an truly discovered on the PC. What this means is that while the initial X-Box games may look good …. thats as good as it gets … few hardware tricks left to discover.
The PS1 & 2 architecture allows developers to vastly improve game visuals as the console evolves. Just compare Ridge Racer 1 with RR4 or Gran Turismo, Tekken to Tekken 3 and tell me that PS2 games will not also share these huge visual improvements throughout the life of the console. What we are seeing on PS2 now are mere rushed prototypes for the things to come. And, to be honest, I don’t think the results are so bad.
The constant complaining about the price of PS2 is another thing. People forget is that PS2 is priced at exactly the same level as the original PS1 at launch. And thats 5 years later with no increase for inflation and a free DVD player!! How many of you received a free VHS recorder with your PS1 when you got it ?
The original PS1 launch titles were fairly poor and the first models were dogged with hardware problems and overheating. Early into the PS1’s life, threats of a forthcomming more powerful system(N64)which would blow it out of the water failed to make any real impact on its success. Deja-Vu anyone ?
Remember Atari vs Coleco, NES vs Master System, PSX vs N64, Gameboy vs NeoGeo Pocket ….. better stats prove nothing at all … in all of these cases the least powerful machine on paper won the sales war.
