Sony Claims PS3 Javascript Performance Is Better Than IE7's

Posted by Soulskill on from the ouch dept.

Scorpinox writes "According to Sony Online Entertainment, the latest 2.50 update to the Playstation 3, which added Flash 9 support, is 'not up to the level of Google Chrome,' but 'beats Internet Explorer 7' in Javascript performance. The article goes on to say 'Sony has actually been working on Flash 9 support for quite some time — as far back as late last year. To get it running on the PS3, Sony ended up customizing a separate Flash implementation that was provided to it by Adobe.'"

    I want to know how they compared it to IE7 fairly... Does Windows Vista/XP run on a cell processor? does the PS3's browser also run on a windows machine? because i see no way you can compare an browser on a console to one on a computer. Not only does the console (most likely) have less crap running in the background, it can be highly optimized for the machine since all the machines have identical (or close) specifications. Im not trying to defend IE7 but this is a total non-story.
