You start an argument, do nothing to back up your point of view and then when people question you, you through a tantrum through text (which I didn't even think was possible) and then disappear.
Trying to compare systems performance, especially ones with such differing and exotic architecture as the PS3 and 360, is a complete waste of time.
There's only one fool on an errand here, and it's you.
Class act.
I didn't brought an argument. MikeB said he assumed Infinity Ward tapped the 360 almost to it's max while saying the Ps3 still has worlds to give basically.
I pointed out how funny that is when 1st he has nothing to back up his assumptions. He then said that it was meant to lure the dev into saying something. So ok....
And i made my point by saying that just because it's 1st party it means nothing, and that on the 360 3rd parties have actually delivered better looking games than 1st party, and yet he goes on to say Mass Effect is this big endeavor, despite obvious facts that there's already a U3 game (and u3 is middleware, so that makes it even more funny) on the 360 that looks much better than the troubled mass effect, and goes on to say that an endeavor like mass effect holds more significance than the one who was made by one of the most technically proficient studios in the world, that being Lair, which was a high budget game.
Methane had a "?" and i made him know what i meant, and all was good.
And "class act", who are you to speak of anyone? I was banned in the Resistance 2 thread for quoting a picture that Solid2Snake posted, and i was actually pretty excited about Resistance 2 and surprised by the things announced, and when you saw me banned you quoted my username with the banned tag and said "Resistance 2, it smites people, because it can".
So don't give me that "class act" crap when apparently you can't even follow a simple chain of events, and then go ahead talking shit about posters unable to reply to your stupid comments.

This appears true to me, to be honest. Are any devs (first or third party) talking about untapped 360 potential? I haven't seen anything.
Well it was never part of MS marketing campaign to hype untapped potential. I never see devs talking about that as openly as ps devs do, but does that mean we haven't been seeing the 360 games grow? No.
Understandably so there's always alot of talk about these SPes and Cell this and that, because it was part of Sony's marketing campaign for the Ps3 from the very start.

Couldn't you just have sent him a private message to out this personal cheapshot? IMO the devs I know, IBM technical specialists, Insomniac, Naughty Dog, etc are not fanatical (despite their enthusiasm for and dedication to producing results). In the case of IBM they even designed both CPUs. To me they sound knowledgeable and respectful.
I have no reason to doubt them, as I have been stating many of the things they are stating now since many years ago. I am not the least bit surprised it takes time and effort to port legacy game engine to the Cell's SPEs, I stated this in early 2005.
I think the PS3 will grow alot. My Ps2 grew, it was pretty amazing to see a game like God Of war 2 on it after all that time.
I'm just saying, stick to saying "Ps3 will grow", instead of "Ps3 will grow, 360 has nowhere else to go rigth now", when you only have info to support your 1st assumption.
That's all MikeB. Isn't this a thread about Ps3 games and a list of SPE usages? So why include the 360 comments?
That's what ticks me off. Do i think the Ps3 will grow more than the 360? Sure, i think so, it has better hardware so i think there's no reason for it not to.
