"Microsoft contradiction"

I laugh in the face of Bill Gates. Haha.

Quote by Bill Gates about PC's- "Here at Microsoft we make the best hardware and softare to make your PC as powerful and quality as possible. Games that run on our systems are top quality and are better than anything seen on any games systems"

Yeah right. So thats why the lead designer of WRC for PS2 said this in OPSM2#4-
"When we set out to create this game (WRC) we wanted to make it as real to the sport as possible. It wasn't until near the end of creating the game that we realsied we had achieved this. It was when we recieved our PS2 that we could really try out our game and see what the power of the PS2 could do for it. This is because even a top spec PC could not achieve what a PS2 could in terms of graphics/processing power. When we saw the game running on the PS2 it was magnificent. The frame rate was much faster and the graphics even smoother. We was pleased with what we saw of our game running on PC's, but when it was run on the PS2 we was ecstatic!"

So then Mr Gates how do you explain this. One of the top programmers claims that his game was too powerful to run on EVEN a top spec PC, but the PS2 coped fine with it. And take Gran Turismo 3. The graphics on that are (most would agree) alot better than them of WRC. I would like to see that run on one of your PC's Mr.Gates.

And then there is the matter of the X-box. If the PC can run games alot better than any console can, then howcome your releasing your own console? It would seem pointless. But the truth is microsoft want something that can compete with SONY and Nintendo and realsised they're not gonna achieve this with PC's.

So it would seem Bill Gates is lying. PC's can run games better than any console?....maybe in a few years....but for the time being, come back down to reality Bill.

Thanks for reading, Nat

I apologise everyone

Well yes...i'm not jipping them but i just said that they reckon the graphics are better on pc's(well bILL gates anyway) and i'm not singiling microsoft...just bill gates....but i used the x-box as an example because he was heavily envolved in it.

i'm not arguing with u but apparently the lead programmer of WRC for PS2 said that even a top spec PC. I'm going with him coz obviously he is very experianced in this kind of thing and i won't beleive that PC's can throw out better graphics thatn PS2, gamecube or x-box until i witness it....but i take ur word for it.

also, without microsoft we wouldnt have word, msn messenger, office, internet explorer, and all the other great programs they make. and the world might be completely differnt, like pcs still taking up your house.

depends how good the pc is really. i mean my geforce2 mx 64mb throws out better graphics than a ps2. but for people with older pcs, i gess this could be true.

AMD aren't, but just give it time.........

since ages ago.....practacally every computer company are owned by microsoft....and intel are one of the obviouse ones.

So your saying that the lead programmer of a game says that it looks great...

And that the lead programmer of a PS2 game says it looks and runs better on a PS2 than it could a PC just as MS release their X-Box?

Now theres a surprise... :)

oooops.....I think i'll leave this argument !
(didn't mean to stir things up)
