Well said loonygloss.
I don't put much into pre-release performance figures. It's kind of like rating a restaurant soley on how many pages it's menu is without checking the menu's content or tasting the food.
Car companies used to test for horsepower on their engines without . They would take an engine with no accessory drive (no alternator or water pump belts), race gas, bumped timing, open exhaust, etc. and run it on a dyno. Woot our car has 235+ horsepower! But only on paper. Good luck seeing that kind of number on your production model. Did I mention 0-60 in about 10 seconds? :P
It's nice to see some performance figures and expected capabilities for consoles but I will never spend $150-$600 based on pre-release hype. How does it play? Are the controllers comfortable to hold? Can I watch a DVD? Will games that I actually want to play be comming out for that platform? Will the system have game manufacturer support for several years?
