Better yet! Why not explain why you decided to head off in one drrection regarding exclusives, which no one was talking about, and attack me for talking about memory?
Why are they doing that?. The thread was a blatent attempt at FUD so i thought i'd attempt to hit the nail on the head. Doesnt the ps3 have faster RAM?.

You don't need to repeat yourself either....I think most in this thread know BS for what it is. And if they didn't, they sure as hell know it after reading this nonsense.
So yeah...don't state anything else.
The best thing you could do right now is keep silent & maybe people will forget this thread ever existed.
You're right, I am an idiot. I could do that, OR I could giggle at some people taking this whole thing seriously. I prefer the latter.

They are doing it because people cheat, and tell their clan member where aother people are in a game afte rbeing killed themselves.

As for ram, insufficent, does not mean slower or faster.

But on the topic of ram, the Cell needs that bandwidth it has a lot of very hungry mouths to feed.
.

Not one developer has suggets that the 360 could do with faster system ram, neither on the PS3 side. They have sufficent.

In terms of the GPU side, the PS3 gets bandwidth starved if people dont treat it with care.

These threads (and quite a few members) should be banned. They are useless. There is no such thing as debate when it comes to a persons console of choice. No matter what the facts state and the stats show...am fanboy will be just that...regardless of truth.

I have to admit you did make some valid points, though I think the problem as to why Sony did not include a headset was because they already put too much on BD and the PS3 they could not afford it, the PS3 was actually meant to be 1200$ said by Kutagari, and even today they are still losing money, so far they have lost over 5B$ which is also why they ditch the DS3 and make a cheaper controller SAX, but we all know what happened.

I probably should be banned, I know that for a fact. But I just don't give a ****, that's my problem. Haha. And it's a serious one.

it will be hard for sony to over take MS in america but it can be done.
if you look at the world wide sales the 360 is ahead by 6 million last time i knew
and this 6 million lead is in america. so sony can close the gap by haveing awesome
games and marketing and another price drop

Just a question to provoke some thoughts - an Asian is transferred from a school in Japan to an American public school. Who do you think he is going to conform with, a group of rowdy Americans or a group of quiet Asians? Seriously. My point is that you can't expect a console to take flight in a culture that is completely opposite from the culture that designed the system. This is the same reason why the Xbox is failing in Japan.
omg i laughed hard, cheers!

Exactly. It's obviously hard for him to understand that you cannot take your own personal opinion and extrapolate that to millions of people. His generic stereotype in the OP was evidence enough that he still has a lot to learn about the world outside of his neighborhood.

He's not alone here. There are so many posts that use the generalizations that members to to use to get their points across and seem like they are more valid because "a lot of people" feel the same way they do.
