HD Era Doesn't Start Till Sony Says So

Posted by Zonk on from the what-do-they-drink-over-there? dept.

GamesIndustry.biz is reporting on comments from Phil Harrison, who says that consumers looking for an HD experience should wait for the PS3. From the article: "The true definition of HD is the three elements of the HD value chain - the display, the content and the hardware to play back that content ... and PlayStation and Sony is the only organisation that has all three bits of the value chain together."

    I expect the Xbox 360 to have more usable memory space for textures because it uses a unified memory architecture (UMA) and not NUMA (non-unified) like PS3. This is a factor that I definately place in the realm of content. 720p vs. 1080p is a retarded argument as well, no developer in their right mind would design a game around 1080p when they can do more 720p while still getting a spectacular picture.

    Blu-ray I'll give them but I don't expect them to be popular for a very long time.

    It looks like my "true" HD era is never happening. Because after the DRM scandel and the PSP Spray paint vandelism, I'll be dammed if sony gets one more penny out of me.
