    Anyhow..Sales figures are what I quoted, so you can go buy a couple million PS3's if you like, to make up the difference..
    your argument is flawed and the cnn fanboys argument is flawed, I wont bother nitpicking at the pointless bickering. I guess this economy is suited for cheapskates.. I mean, a man wid a camry would love to find any reason to say his car is better than a bmw... in any case, the demise you'd love to see is not going to happen.

    It is weird how people seem NOT to be buying this marvel of modern engineering....
    Anyhow, the market will decide...

    It was just a news report on sales. Apparently it upset some folks. Open your wallets and buy more PS3's instead of complaining. Show them Sony is made of Win.

    (for the record, I OWN neither console, but i do play both)

    Tell you what since the poor sale figures so upsetting, I will now Report the Wii sales as PS3 Sales and Vice Versa....

    for what reasons do we need to buy more ps3s? and if there's any complaint its not about the sales, its just that everyone notices that at least every other post by you in the console gaming section is anti-ps3. Anyways I guess the wii is full of win i cant argue with you

    Aww...shucks.. you notice me ?

    My day is made.
    Why you no complain to the people who wrote the article and the people who not buying the PS3 and the developers who hate it?
    There is some GREAT NEWS though.

    I hate to harp on these kinds of details, so I'll keep it very brief. OS memory is not at parity, 360 still has lots more legroom. Plus, there is much more to RSX limitations that just vertex.

    You cannot index into sampler registers on RSX. So what do you do? You can still calculate the index vertex side and pass it to the pixel shader. Pixel side, there's only 3 solutions I can think of. One is to use is if/else statements to determine which sampler to use. This is bad, but sometimes you have no choice. Or, you can sample from all your samplers, and use lerp's to choose which of the values to use in a branchless way. This is usually better than the above, but still not great. Lastly, if you are lucky then you can group your texures into one uber texture, and just monkey around with the texture coordinates to pick which part of the texture you want. This is even better since it's now just down to one sample and no branches, but only works if you can associate the textures together, which isn't always possible.

    It's stuff like this that comes up everyday, which is partly why so few coders want to work on PS3. Then again, its because of this that PS3 coders are in huge demand and my mortgage is being paid off fast, so I guess I should be thanking Sony
    SEE Sony is helping the economy !! YAY !!

    Alone among the three major videogame consoles, sales of the PS3 are down about 19% from November 2007, according to the latest stats from the NPD Group. Sony was only able to sell 378,000 PS3s this November, compared to 466,000 last year.
    This is gossip ?
    My youth, what are you smoking exactly ?
    If sales records are gossip by Sony haters where we must get sales figures for ?
    Maybe Your Post count is gossip, or the that Obama win the Us presidency ?

    : rumor or report of an intimate nature .

    Nope, neither of those things
    Pathetic is more likely.
