The only PS2 demo that wasn't easily surpassed was the face demo. Of course, there were no PS2 games that consisted entirely of just a face...
Give it a rest, Dreamcast/Xbox fanboys have been trying to make that claim for the past five years. The Net is filled with screenshots from the PS2 E3 demos showing just how bad they compare to the actual shipping games on the system.
You don't want to go there...the Net is filled with the carcasses of foolish fanboys who have tried to make your silly claim many times in the past. Don't make me break out the links to the PS2 E3 demo screenshots...
"One of the basic premises of the Xbox is to put the power in the hands of the artist," Blackley said, which is why Xbox developers "are achieving a level of visual detail you really get in 'Toy Story.'"
I can't believe there are still people trying to attribute Microsoft's stupid Toy Story graphics claim about the Xbox to Sony in 2006...
If there was any question about just how dead the 360 was yesterday, today it should be perfectly clear. With sales falling to only 160k units last month, I can't imagine how far they will fall by next month.
This holiday season is going to be a battle between Sony and Nintendo the likes of which have never been seen before in the console market.
The holdup of the AACS stuff for BluRay means that Sony is stockpiling the components for the PS3 and will have millions of units ready to ship by November this year. Sony could have shipped about 500k to Japan in June/July but decided to go with a worldwide release in November. Too bad for Japan, no change for the US, and good news for Europe.
Linux being standard on all PS3s is wonderful. There are going to be 120+ million Linux machines out there serving as people's media servers over the next five years. Nice.
E3 is going to be insane with Sony and Nintendo focusing on showing off their system's games for launch.
The final bit of info for the battle between Sony and Nintendo is what price is the Revolution going to be released at.
We are about to enter the golden age of console gaming in a few months...
The Xbox was killed off early by Microsoft due to their inability to bring the manufacturing costs down over the life of the product. The main culprit was the idiotic decision to include a harddrive. Harddrives don't come down in price. Manufacturers come out larger capacity drives for the same price. And for drives of the size in the Xbox I wouldn't be surprised if the costs actually started to go up due to fact that almost no one uses drives of that size anymore.
Because the massive losses the first Xbox was generating Microsoft was forced to come up with new hardware faster than Sony or Nintendo. And it shows. They pretty much only had time to get IBM to slap a third core onto one of their existing designs and bolt an ATI card to it.
The Xbox 360 has had more things go wrong with its hardware and launch than all other console's combined. I can't think of another console that is anywhere close to the 360.
The 360 has turned out to be the biggest console disaster ever. I would love to hear which console over the past twenty years is even in the same league as the 360 for hardware problems or launch disasters.
"Alhtough Sony is kinda known for their pre-release Hype"
What a stupid comment.
Nintendo is kinda known for their pre-release Hype. Microsoft is kinda known for their pre-release Hype. Apple is kinda known for their pre-release Hype.

"in the console wars since Xbox and Sony outsold them big time"
What???
Yes Sony outsold Nintendo by about 5 to 1.
Microsoft lost five billion dollars just to sell the same number of systems worldwide as Nintendo - some 23 million each. Although the GameCube's lead over the Xbox will continue to grow since the Xbox has been pulled from the market.
"possible last gasp"
Right...
Nintendo looks to have a very strong chance of winning Japan with the Revolution and developer support for the system is massive from console dev houses.
Slashdot Mirror
Wrong.
Next.
"Besides, all Ive seen as far as ps3 games go is pre-rendered FMV pretending to be a game. I'll pass."
Pathetic.
Why would you post something so obviously false?
Wait till the Revolution news starts...
Tell you what, why don't you do Slashdot a favor and go cry back with your buds on teamxbox about how life isn't fair.

"this gives more time for the XBox 360 to actually gain a foothold"
???
The 360 is dead in Japan - hasn't even sold through the inital 150k shipment yet.
The 360 is not quite as dead in Europe as it is in Japan
The 360 only sold 160k units last month compared to 300k PS2s and the number of 360s sold each month has been declining each month.
What foothold are you talking about?

"Being that roughly the same quality graphics chips are being used"
Uh...that was a stupid thing to say.
Please, go right out and buy a Dreamcast 360. Heh.
"Nearly every new 3rd party game is multiplatform."
Nope.
Why would you try to claim something so obviously false?
Shame on Microsoft for paying off these patent crooks.
Shame on Sony for not doing a better job of defending this case.
These sleazbags from Immersion need to put out of business. No one should be allowed to shakedown a market.

Wow.
What is the point of going over the top with your attempt to slam the PS3?
You would think Microsoft could afford better, and more effectively subtle, marketing talking points.
