Ignorance of the day
I have decided that I need somewhere to post my thoughts on the stupidity that I run across everyday and this is it...........
I suppose a little about me is in order to understand where my first witness to an act of ignorance is coming from. I have been an avid console gamer since the Atari and have played on all systems along the way and know that each system had its greatnesses and its pitfalls. But nothing gets to me more that the people who are supposed to report on the upcoming consoles are so "pro-Nintendo" "pro-Microsoft" "pro-Sony" etc etc etc that when the competition comes out with a new console that they begin to "dis" the thing before anyone gets a chance to put their hands on it. Case in point the "Xbox 360" and "Playstation 3" are scheduled to be unveiled at E3 (I know Microsoft is "supposedly" to unveil the 360 on MTV this Thursday and Sony will debut the Playstation 3 shortly thereafter..But we will not get to see a full demonstration until E3) and people who have the "spec" sheets say that the Playstation 3 will have 3 times the CPU as the xbox 360 but that Sony will have a lot of extra "horsepower" under the PS3s hood thats mainly for show, not actual gaming. What kind of idiot do you have to be to believe that.... Even if it takes another 2-3 years for game developers to get the full potential unlocked out of the PS3 it still will all be put to use. And as for it being 3 times faster than the xbox I seriously doubt that one. Do you mean to tell me that the people at microsoft are going to sit idly by while Sony builds its cell processor and not have something up their collective sleeves to fight back with. I think not. I personally think that both systems will respectively "KICK ASS"and should be put into the consumers hands and let them decide which is going to have the "horsepower" and which will fall by the wayside. But affording them on the other hand..................
