The Next Generation Consoles

1. PS3 was running primarily tech demos.  As others had put it, Sony did the same thing with the PS2 and those looked great.  Look how little came out that looked nearly comparable.

2. The Xbox360 hardware is currently an alpha build, running at an estimated 25-30% power.  Rare said that if the system matches up to the power that Microsoft claims it (and of course it's still an if), they can push 4000-9000 characters on the screen at the same time.

Some bits.

"Each kiosk had a wired Xbox 360 controller connected to it, running into the base of the kiosk that only had one small window showing off a Xbox 360 console.

"The console itself wasn't on, looking at the right of the kiosk you get to see the actual power behind the demos: A pair of Apple Powermac G5 systems were actually running the Xbox 360 demos, not the 360 console. The consoles in the kiosks weren't actually running, they were just for show - now you know why all the controllers were wired"

If that report is true, 'tis a tad ironic.
