PS3 Great Cell, but tied down by its GPU?

May be...

my brother said that the ps3 has a great CPU, but the fact that it has a bad GPU it ties it down, is this true.



also why do so many ps3 games look the same as 360, even most people said that games like Killzone 2 could run on the 360, its just a matter of space.

That is somewhat true. The GPU is smaller compared to the Xbox 360, but the PS3 was designed that way. With a Cell processor you are able to do more complex calculations, so in theory the Cell processor would be able to do part of what the GPU does. But this means you have to program the game for a cell processor. This means your game can only run on the PS3, not on the xbox or a PC game.



This is why so many games look the same on xbox and ps3. Its easyer to develop a game for the xbox (better tools and so forth). Most companies that are building games for three systems (xbox, Ps3 and PC) they develop the game for xbox and PC (which is the same). and then PORT the game over to PS3. Take the same code and make it work on a ps3.



Some games do have more graphics that couldn't really fit on one DVD Xbox game disc, but those games took some 4-5 years to develop. Which would mean it would take at least another couple of years to do it again.

I disagree, the ps3 has gpu that runs with 550 Mhz while the xbox has gpu that runs with 500 Mhz.

The ps3 has 7 CPUs that run with 3.2 Ghz while the xbox has 3 CPUs that run with 3.2 Ghz, thus the ps3 is much stronger.

The ps3 has much greater graphics , and still the game producers didn't use the full power of the great ps3.

PS3 IS THE BEST!
