Posted by Zonk on from the even-the-lies-are-true dept.

1up.com continues its trend of topical features by delving into Generation Next: Separating the Facts from the Fiction of the Next-Gen Consoles. From the article: "Photorealistic graphics, streaming multimedia content, complete Internet integration and revolutionary new kinds of gameplay are all promises of next generation gaming. Right now, it's all executives blowing hot air and technobabble, but in just a short few weeks, the battle for the living room starts again, as Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony take the wraps off their new babies and show the world their visions of the industry's future."

    Too bad the PSP was a complete and utter failure. The DS isn't so hot either, but Nintendo at least has GBA. Don't look for Nintendo slipping out of the #1 spot in handhelds anytime in your lifetime.

    Remember when Sony said the PS2 could do Toy Story in real time? They did.

    No, and truth told, neither do you. Know how I know? They didn't claim it. A puff peice written by a so-called journalist said that. Not Sony.

    The power of the PS2 will allow for real time manipulation of Toy Story-quality graphics, as well as digital surround sound audio. Full orchestras, rock, techno, hip hop, and punk rock bands have already begun chipping in to make these games sonically as well as visually an art form of their own. If you think I am being a tad dramatic, it may interest you to know that Titanic director James Cameron is currently involved in an underwater action/adventure game similar to "The Abyss".

    There you go, the original. From a "fanboy" of sorts. Not sony.
    So no, none of us remember when Sony made that claim. Not even you.

    Mods:
    No insight to the parent post, just unadulterated crap. Insightful *should* require truth or accuracy. The parent post had neither.

    An no, this post isn't insightful either,. informative perhaps but not insightful.
