The Tech Of The Next-Gen Console Wars

Posted by Zonk on from the duking-it-out-with-heavy-tech dept.

Sergey writes "Ars Technica has an inside look at the next-gen console wars, with a focus on what we know about the hardware in the PS3, Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Revolution. In particular, the coverage of the Nintendo's Broadway processor is the most thorough and best-compiled available right now, and I think it shows that the Revolution won't be nearly as weak as its opponents suggest." An interesting sidenote from a Eurogamer article: the Revolution's specs may never be fully revealed by Nintendo. They consider the information irrelevant.

    ...and are consistently fun, with low grind

    Gee whiz, Methuselah -- I guess I play too much Tony Hawk, because my first thought was to wonder why on earth anyone would want less grind! Hey, check my one-footed switch Casper!!!

    Ken Kutaragi: "Chiken! Pok-pok-pok!"
    Steve Ballmer: "I'll fuckin' bury Nintento no matter what their fuckin' specs are!"
    Gamer: "This all just shows how immature Nintendo is."
