perhaps some specifications of both.

Ps3
http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=10612
The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at 3.2GHz, giving the whole system 2.18 teraflops of overall performance. It will sport 256MB XDR main RAM at 3.2GHz, and it will have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700MHz. It has 6 USB ports, 3 ethernet ports and Bluetooth (no WiFi support for gaming it seems and Bluetooth was chosen for controllers only as it has better latency over WiFi). There are also CF/SD and MemoryStick readers integrated.
the bluetooth controllers allow for upto 7 controllers off the single system.

A new PC and a Nvidia GeForce 7800 graphics card.

The only game I'm looking forward to right now is the AOE III War Chiefs expansion.

nintendo as a first party developer, has carried on with the classics. However, it hasn't been too friendly with third parties lately.

gamecube was just a sorry ps2/xbox imitator. that's why it didn't sell well. that's why revolution will be great. it's different.

i mean, nintendo really can't compete as a graphics/technology powerhouse. but fun is where it's at for them

anyone know what i mean

it's late
