Final PS3 Launch List Shows 13 Games For America

Wowzer writes "Sony's PlayStation 3 is set to arrive this week on November 17th. With just 400,000 units available at launch in the USA, and an unknown number of game consoles arriving the rest of year. The total is expected to be below 1 million units in 2006, as a result many publishers have decided to delay their games so more time can be spent polishing them. From the article: 'Remember you'll have other ways to entertain yourself with the PS3 aside from it's multimedia capabilities. From day one you'll be able to download small games (plus their demos to give them a try first) and while Sony hasn't announced any specifics like price and release dates yet, count on Sony's PS3 download games like flOw & Blast Factor to be there.' From minor delays like Need for Speed: Carbon being delayed until November 20. To big launch lineup losses like MotorStorm which was delayed to March, 2007. The PS3 launch will now have 13 titles including Resistance: Fall of Man, Call of Duty 3, Genji: Days of the Blade and Ridge Racer 7."

FTFA: * Call of Duty 3 * Genji 2: Days of the Blade * Madden NFL 2007 * Marvel Ultimate Alliance * Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire * NBA '07 * NBA 2k7 * NHL 2k7 * Resistance: Fall of Man * Ridge Racer 7 * Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 * Tony Hawk's Project 8 * Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom

Tony Hawk much faster on 360.

Everything I've read shows that the new Tony Hawk game has some major slowdown issues on the PS3, while on the 360 it's pretty smooth but does sometimes take an odd dip in the frame rate here and there. All this hype how the PS3 was going to smash the 360 in performance seems to be false. The Motorstorm demos on the kiosks looks pretty bad as well. I'm wondering if this will end up being another PS2 compared to the Gamecube / Original XBox.

[ben there...]

Even if Sony hopes Blue-Ray will become a big factor, there are 23 Sony Blue-Ray DVDs out and not alot of those titles are going to appeal to everyone (little man? Stealth? The list goes on,)

Netflix has 212, and that's probably not even everything that has been released.

1080i is interlaced first of all. So I'm going to go ahead and deduct half the pixels, since you only get half per frame anyway

1080i = 1920*1080(0.5) = 1036800 pixels per frame, 60FPS, meaning 62,208,000 pixels per second.
2560x1600 (progressive) = 4096000 pixels per frame. Assuming 60FPS again (standard), that is 245,760,000 pixels per second.

Unless I'm mistaken, 1080i just got owned by a scale of 3.951.

Yes, you can argue that that computer monitor and computer to run it costs a lot, but so does your 1080i HDTV and 360. Check your facts. Computer guys don't want to run 1080i because it sucks. Even a lame (by high end gaming standards) 1280*1024@60Hz beats 1080i with 78,643,200 pixels per second. There is just no comparison here. A decent computer (~1k) can run that with a cheap (sub-250 dollar) monitor.
