Confusion - [URL]http://www.cube-europe.com/news.php?nid=7818[/URL]

IMO the Xbox 360 is the only one that looks good, but who cares what their console looks like? Your not exactly going to pull a bird by saying "Hey, wanna come and check out my Revolution?....it's shiny...oh yeah!"

Oh and the PS3 looks attrocious. Absolutely awful. What's with the whole bulbous design and the crappy 1995 PC joypad?

Remember for the PS2 Sony used pure raw numbers for polygon counts, stating that you could get millions upon millions out of it. What they failed to mention was that these were calculations for a static picture, and as soon as you added any movement the polygon count dropped by about 80%. So I expect that's what they're doing here, as well. Nintendo will be talking in terms of practical power available for games where as Sony and Microsoft will be talking about pure calculations per second.

I win by 20 minutes, I'm afraid.

I will, probably for backwards compatibility sake, and the free online content.

I'm still gonna buy the Revolution though, just thought it might have a bit more power, thats all.

yer, speed isn't the same as power.

PS3 will still have the most diabolicly awful selection of games ever.

Actually, in Xbox 360's case, it nearly does.

3 x 3.2 Ghz = 9.6 Ghz

And PS3 is rumoured to be slightly stronger.

Exactly.

What was the PS2 CPU speed - 300MHz?

35 times that is over 10GHz. It's just not going to happen.
