But when we see PS3 exclusives,
we see a graphic much more impressive than X360 titles.
Just take a look at Last of Us.

Then, I say we can't say a unique power value,
but divide it in important sections:
CPU, GPU and RAM
Why.

This?

The Last of Us isn't even out yet. But if you're going argue with unreleased games, I would say that Halo 4 looks more impressive.

But you're missing the point. @Bluestar is saying that despite the PS3's supposed superiority, the 360 fared better in the end with most multiplatform games (just look at Bayonetta for one example) because of the PS3's architecture and split memory pool. Raw power isn't the only factor.

Giving more space in a text, and turning it less compact,
make it easier for people to read.

By jumping 2 lines, I can change the subject, and also
make easier for people to distinguish it and quote it.

Got it ;)

A todays mid level PC has a CPU, that it about 16x better than the mid level PC of 6-7 years ago. The graphics cards are >20x so fast. And I talk about low price hardware.

Why are there people, who think, that Nintendo is using old and expensive technology and not the current and cheap one, that is much faster than the old ps technology?

I've read some similar articles while studying grammar at university.
This article shows basically what I do, or at least try :D


http://www.eurogamer...yonetta-faceoorm ff

Bayonetta PS3 is horrid compared to the 360 version.


In general multiplatform games are better in X360,
but Bayonetta is a specific case of a terrible port from X360 to PS3.
I think I have never seen such a bad port.

Did anyone even read the article, or at least the comments?
The author stated the following:

"Francois Kitching -
As several sites are quoting us as the source of this "news" story I would like to state, for the sake of clarity, it is a fact that the girl on the show floor, wearing a WiiU shirt, who handed me the Gamepad and played NSMBU against me on the Thursday morning made the comment. It was then followed up by, "yes and it is X times more powerful than Wii." I suspect she was incorrect, as is stated within the article."

His article said "19 times more powerful than PS3".

inb4 MGS3D.

but the way this forum is crowded by people kissing Nintendo's ass,

Sorry, but this has become the standard knee-jerk reaction on this forum from those that either don't like Nintendo or love their competition. It's just as bad as those that actually do like Nintendo that much.

No, his article said "Nintendo representatives on the day informed me that it was “19 times more powerful than PS3”."
The first comment below the article explains the 'representatives'.
Our writer is 100% that the person representing Nintendo at Eurogamer Expo said this statement. As highlighted in our article, it's a statement we challenge and question over it's accuracy.

From the comments.

I like Nintendo, even more than Sony or MS.
But there are some people who will defend Nintendo with their souls,
when it's obvious they are wrong.

I'm not defending any gaming corporation,
I just don't support people blinded by fanaticism.

Whenever something about any console is released people speculate so damn much and we get fanboy and hater flame wars. Only time will tell how powerful this console is going to be. It is obviously going to be more powerful than the PS3 and Xbox360. For now it's *insert random number*X more powerful XD

Does this look about right?

If the "raw graphics power" refers to bullshit numbers and phrases, yes.

However if the "raw graphics power" refers to the important things (fillrates and shader performance), then no, unless over time the resolution is also increasing, which means the test isn't scientifically-sound as it's not being accounted for while having a huge impact on the result.

Wrong about what?

You can't make such a confident statement without the logical arguments or evidence to back it up. It's more respectable for someone to defend Nintendo "with their souls" using logical arguments, than someone just going "NOPE SORRY! You're wrong! I don't need to explain my reasoning to you!"

Do you think I don't explain?!
I try every fucking time, but they won't listen.
Even though what they say is almost, if not, impossible,
like saying WiiU is 19x more powerful than PS3
