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

Why does he need to create another console?
He's a stupid idiot.
Bill Gates should maybe stop contradicting himself ?!
