Sony's had 3 years and there's no games to proved this to us. When do you think we'll see something in this range? Will it be before Nintendo and Microsoft move on to the next gen?

Well, I think plenty of proof is already out there. So IMO the PS3 has proven its additional worth much quicker than was the case with regard to the Amiga vs Atari ST regarding gaming potential.

IMO the gap is just bigger than was the case between Amiga and Atari ST technically.

Uncharted 2 gameplay leak from GDC was removed from youtube, hete an alternative link instead:

I'd have to dig out the quote book but several of us recall Sony declaring the Cell will be so powerful no GPU would be needed. I guess that was one of the first missed potentials of the PS3..

Atm, CELL duplicated 3DLab’s WildCat VPU's mistakes.

CELL GPU might work during the times of PS2, but you have specialized ("one trick pony") corporations designing and building specialized array co-processors. Since Nov 2006, there are more than 100 million CUDA processors delivered.

I'd disagree on that. There might be 1 or 2 games that are slightly beyond but not 'well' beyond. There's the theoretical potential there, 2x the processing power claimed Sony, but nothing that's gone in any significant way over the 360.

Well, a texture fetch would stall RSX's pixel shader operations. One has to be careful with texture usage with RSX or NVIDIA G7X for that matter.

I do find KZ2's textures to be flat.
