The system's resources are nearly identical. PS3 has 256mb GDDR3 + 256mb XDR. 360 has 512mb GDDR3 + 10mb EDRAM.
PS3 has a faster stash of half of its memory, and 360 has a MUCH faster (but smaller) pool of EDRAM besides its main pool of memory. 360 utilizes this cache to maintain extremely high bandwidth between data that's comsing in from the Xenos, being rendered in engine (back buffer) and data that's ready for the HANA upscale (front buffer).
Those who say that the (PS3/360)'s solution is better than (PS3/360)'s should really just think about it more objectively. Like, how are the developers using each console's particular setup when they make their games. PS3 supporters (look at how decent I can be) want to bash the 360 and say that it's not capable of rendering high-def gaming. That's not true. 360 has more than enough power. You wanna say that being on a DVD9 is preventing it from having good games? That's not true either. Ring of Light errors? Maybe it's true, but not to the degree that people have been led to believe.
The promises of having the best results with PS3/360 don't mean anything when it comes down to the actual application. That's why everything in the computer world is "theoretical". For instance overclocking something may lead to "theoretically" more performance, right? But oc also causes over heating, during which transistors leak more of the current out and the cpu becomes unstable. So what good is it to tout theory and deny fact?
Point is, there are many factors that can contribute to performance in gaming. Memory is just one of them. Graphics processing horsepower is another. I'm sure we ALL know about RSX, and its...limitations. So those who want to point a finger at 360 and laugh, by all means do so. But just know that RSX is WOEFULLY behind the times. And a poor excuse coming from a console that launched at $600, has dropped down significantly and has YET to comeup with RSXs shortcommings, other than the fact that CellBE must now waste its horsepower to make up for the ends that it clumsily drops.
If you disagree, please click disagree. I don't expect everyone to agree.
