Because they are dirt cheap I recently bought a Xbox 360 and Ps3 and I agree, it is astounding even up til then just how much was squeezed out of those machines. On the Ps3 side, I had completely forgotten just how hamstrung it was in terms of memory, the OS and the load times on games are SLOOOOOW! And yet, they got Uncharted 3 and Crysis 3 out of that thing. One of the most impressive feats I have seen would have to be Daytona USA 2 in the arcades. That thing is running on a single 166Mhz PowerPC 603 and a Real3D GPU that still needed all the polygon setup done on the CPU. How they got that out of that hardware is just beyond me. It is optimised to the max! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttAz1mYTuv0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttAz1mYTuv0
