Xbox 360: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!111
PS3: Search your Processor, you know it to be true.
The creators of the PS3′s Cell technology have actually written a book covering the development process of the Cell, along with the development of the Wii’s Broadway CPU, and the 360′s Xenon cores. The Cell processor started development as early as 2001, and Sony forsaw a launch of the PS3 as early as December 2005. As it turns out, when Microsoft approached IBM in 2003 to make a processor for their “NextBox.” What we never knew is that IBM actually modeled the Xenon off of the Cell Processor. In other words, the Xenon is nothing more than the weaker offspring of the Cell. This may not sound like much to you, but you should have seen the fanboy flamewars at the time regarding this.
Of course, we all know what happened after that. The PS3 got delayed, and the 360 ended up taking the 2005 launch. Little did we know of the 360′s Ticking Time Bomb however. After the Giant Enemy Crab fiasco, the bad news would not stop for Sony, things only got worse from there once the Wii got sold out.
Back in 2005 though, people fanboys would debate for hours on which processor was better. “The Cell is nothing more than a networking processor; the Xenon is for true gaming.” What a very hypocritical statement now, seeing as the Xenon was based off of the Cell.
And Microsoft had gone as far as paying people to edit Wikipedia articles with a bias towards the 360 and Xenon.
And we all thought Sony copying Nintendo’s motion controller was bad, remember?
That’s nothing compared to Microsoft’s history of forgery. If it wasn’t for their thievery, Microsoft wouldn’t even have Windows. And now, they’ve completely casualized their system. Avatars? More like Miis amirite?
I probably sound like a butthurt PS3 fanboy now, with so much bashing on Microsoft. I don’t even own a PS3. I own a 360 and a Wii. And let me tell you Sony and Nintendo are no different. But that’s another story for another day.
PS: TF2 online rocks.
Peace
