Nearly 2 Million Copies Of Final Fantasy XIII Ship In Japan

@lucidity if you have done any research atleast for what is Playstation 3 hardware and xbox 360 hardware is you could atleast understand that there are different hardwares at all from the beggining. You don't even know what is 512 memory on consoles and what CPU means to them. CPU is the most important part in cosoles, not GPU or other stuff... you know why? Its because of Console Lifetime. Thats why Sony always make a products for 10 life cycle.

Let me just give you a facts to shut your stupid fanboyism.

Xbox 360 have

512 MB GDDR3 700 MHz shared between CPU and GPU.

PS3 have

256 MB XDR * 3.2 GHz
256 MB GDDR3 * 700 MHz, GPU can access CPU memory of course.

Its absolutely the same, except that XDR uses Cell Broadband engine and Cell Processor and because of that its difficult to make the same multiplatform as on Xbox 360. Because CPU eats GPU. Basically you need Cell processor power and when you port game from 360 to Ps3 it will look worse always, because Xbox 360 have NEXT GENERATION Xenos from ATI that don't require Processor power. Its actually great, because Xbox 360 is a simple PC hardware. GPU, CPU works correctly without eating each power.

Thats it. If someone will develop first for PS3 it won't look worse never, it has a potential to have better details and texture because of CPU power if someone will use it of course. I can name few examples like Borderlands.

And Xbox 360, PS3 are equal at everything except two things... Blu Ray and Cell Processor. If you never experienced Uncharted 2, then i will say facts that are in the game:

blu ray - entire game is on one disk and don't require loading at missions. Only one loading and you can play all the game without any loading at all. You just watch a movie. It makes you feel that you are in the movie. Example: Uncharted 2 for now ONLY.

Cell Processor and Cell broadband engine - thats the beast that gives animation to characters that is not possible on Xbox 360. They look absolutely real, because with each core from 6 cores (Developers from Naughty Dog said they used only 5 for Uncharted 2, so i guess there will be a last game from them) you can create a ton of movements and processor will read it correctly and GPU g70 architecture will read it correctly.
Train sequence (That Adam Sessler love and everybody else) in the game is only possible with that processor. Because when you move, everything moves with you and processor read this with 5 individual cores. Yeah, they are not so powerefull as nowadays I7 core processor (Its even stupid to compare). but still its amazing and Xbox 360 can't do it. Thats a fact.

And even for example, if Xbox 360 had better GPU overall. For example... Radeon Xenos 368 MB memory, its still will look worse except of better textures on every game. But i don't know. What this will do with that memory...

So shut up please and read about Power Processor Element, then maybe you will understand. Until that, you can compare what you want. Result is what we have with Sony's first party and other developers that make games first on PS3.

PS: About better GPU... I don't know, Ps3 have RSX 'Reality Synthesizer' on G70 Nvidia architecure that enables 3d video gaming. Next year they will show 3d gaming.
So....................... I'm just saying.
