Who cares besides you?
Plus what you consider "excuses" are legitimate reasons to any rational person.

About a day after I purchased Resistance and the system (this is in 1080p, mind you) some friends came over and aksed me why I was playing a PS2 game on my new PS3. I didn't agree with them on that point as Resistance definately looks better than your standard PS2 game, but I think that first impression sums it up pretty well. No one ever seemed to have that issue with the upgraded BOR.
Also, regardless of how I other feel about it, Resistance doesn't look as good as Kameo (though it beats PD0 by a mile).
That's a color discussion, not a tech discussion. The Cell absolutely is more powerful than the Waternoose, and Blu-Ray has 5x the storage of DVD. Someone will figure out how to make the differences more obvious.
Well, again, look at the Xbox vs the PS2, the SNES vs the Genny, the SMS vs the NES, power does not equal win.
Both, actually.The drive spins slower and the Cell is absolutely tougher to program for. Like I said, the PS2 can keep up with the Xbox in rare instances, so are these rare instances the same things you're going to bank an entire generation on? Are you going to list gigaflops per second next? You can quote stats until you're blue in the face but that doesn't mean shit for an end product. The GC was a powerful system but I don't recall you rushing to buy games for that over the PS2.Quote:

I don't think I bought a single PS2 version of a multiplatform game. The GameCube just didn't have very many.
We're also talking about a different situation here. The PS3 is equal to the 360 on most releases, except EA's, which are completely due to laziness. If the hardware were even remotely taken into account, it wouldn't be a stretch to think it couldn't get better than just ports.
all this console warrioring is making my eyes bleed
You could say that about a lot of systems. In the case of the PS3 out-muscling the 360, even first-party games are not showing that level of difference. The tools simply aren't there yet. The potential is there for a huge gap between the PS3 and 360, yes, but I have my duobts as to if that will happen and the extent if it should.
If it does, cool. It not, your attempts to push all this will look really silly. Besides, the PC is more powerful and will emulate all the consoles eventually, so just wait for that.
The PC gets FlatOut, which is at least something (even if it's not Burnout).
