I love the playstation 1
I think there are more and better gameson Playstation 2 than XBOX, bar Halo 1 & 2, but teh PS2 has limited hardware
I admit, the PS3 will be eloads more powerful than anything else on the planet,
no doubt I will get both..... purely coz I want Halo 3, and a machine wit ha CELL processor in it (PS3)
of interest, is the fact that both next generation consoles will feature a processor heavily based on the PowerPC 970 CPU which is at the heart of all Mac G5 computers currently. The XBOX will feature a variant of it and the CELL processor, when left without its 8 vector units, is a G5 processor.

why hate microsoft?
and how can you compare ps3 and xbox2 hardware when there's nothing but rumours available.... |

aahh well apart from being a mac user, and appreciating well designed things, Microsoft just can't design an operating system if they tried. Long horn..... i mean.... long in the tooth... is going to be so outdated by the time it comes out it's a joke!
That aside, they have done well at monopolising the industry!
Nah I dont hate them.. I just dont like them
And... I CAN compare the hardware because I know for sure that the PS3 will be teh CELL processor, with one CPU unit and 8 vector units. The CELL is the most powerful processor in the world by far. Read some of the whitepapers, its truly an amazing piece of gear. The problem being its extremely hard to code for, but this comes at the tradeoffs of great speed boosts!
The XBOX 2 definitely has a PowerPC CPU, based lightly around the G5 (970). And the irony is that the only machines capable of developing XBOX360 games, are Apple PowerMac G5s, because they have the same CPU.
i am also almost certain that ATI will be supplying the Videochipset for the 360, and it will me embedded eDRAM, kinda like hard cache on a CPU, so it will be extremely fast, and allow huge amounts of data to be pushed through the system. From what i can tell, the video stuff is similar to a PC Radeo X800/X850 video card.,
nVidia is supplying the core video stuff for PS3.
Im not an expert, and I am just gathering my data from very reliable sources on the net. Being a graphics and effects person by trade, I try to keep in the (reliabel) loop as much as possible.
At the end of the say, I think you will see just as much competition between the units as there is with current generation boxes
