Lessons from the Sony PlayStation vs. Nintendo Wii - Apr. 27, 2007
This sums up the article:
An interesting read, although inaccurate at parts.
"the Cell is an amazing beast that can do seven tasks at the same time."
Actually, a full-fledged Cell can process 10 threads. The PS3 version can process 9 (single core does 2 threads, and each sub-core does 1 thread).
What really bugs me is when people call it "Blu-ray DVD". DVD is Toshiba's deal, so using that name in conjunction with Blu-ray is asanine. The DVD-forum is in support of, you guessed it, HD-DVD, not Blu-ray. Blu-ray is its own thing. BRD is probably the best bet for an acronym.
Aside from those things, the editor makes some good points.
This sums up the article:
