That article is a total Sony whorefest. Honestly it sounds like Sony wrote the article for them. The PS 3 is a supercomputer??? Yeah, so is my fucking taint. And the PS 3 showed stunning cinematic quality? Yeah, the only problem there is that the PS 3 isn't even really close to being finished yet.
And as for the Cell processor having a "definite performance advantage" ... well, only time will tell, but I don't see it being as big as the current performance gap between the Xbox and the PS 2. Once again, Sony fanboys have forgotten that performance is useless unless it can be efficiently harnessed by programmers. Note that programmers for the PS 2 have just got around to harnessing its power (GT 4, God of War). I see a steep learning curve for programming PS 3 games.
The Cell hype seems remarkably similar to the hype over the Emotion engine for the PS 2. Less bullshit, more practical hardware, is my request.
After a lukewarm review of the Xbox 360, they then of course move on to shit all over the Revolution. I swear Tommy Tallarico must've helped them write this article. Of course the Revolution won't be competing with the 360 or the PS 3 directly, it's more of a niche system than a mainstream one these days. The fact remains that Nintendo's business model is highly profitable, and Nintendo software on average is the best and most original in the industry.
