Cooling: Both the GPU and CPU of the console have heatsinks. The CPU's heatsink uses heatpipe technology, to efficiently conduct heat from the CPU to the fins of the heatsink. The heatsinks are actively cooled by a pair of 60 mm exhaust fans that push the air out of the case by negative case pressures.

yous do realise that the ps3 is naturally more powerfull then the 360, give the game companys around 1 or 2 years to actually learn how to use the ps3's power.

Everyone says that PS3 is better than a xbox360, but i need arguments that comproved that!

You also do realize that the PS2 was Naturally more powerful then the original xbox right? but yet what one had the better gfx?.

The PS2 had a more powerful CPU then the xbox but had a worse GPU.

Thanks for the information, but i want to Know the perfomance in general Wath the console in future can have better graphics

I know the GPU of the xbox360 is litter better than the rsx i want to Know in general wath its the best onde in General

Please if someone can be imparcial in the judge of the consoles??!!

I understand what you are saying but I belive that from having also read the article you quote from that it comes down to the developers.

The PS3 SPE's are a new way of programing and it will take a while for the developers to get to scratch with them - but they will.

Your P.S is a bit cheeky seeing as you state that GPU of 360 is clear winner - As you well know there is a much longer argument to this - and so is not true!

However at the end of the day it should be about the games - if there are games you want to play on a console get that console, even if it means you may have to buy both!

You only have to go back to the games that launched Playstation 1 and Playstation 2.

If you took those few dozen titles and analysed them, you would never have imagined that either of those formats would have on to sell over 100 million units each.

As long as the games they get are great, [consumers] don't care if they are third-party or first-party... What I do believe is that the investments we have made in Worldwide Studios globally - US, Europe, and Japan - will yield the best quality software and the highest quality experiences that are clearly going to be exclusive to the platform.


We have a larger platform-dedicated development resource than our competitors combined. So all of that goes towards the fact that the best games with the best technology are coming exclusively to [Sony] platforms.

On a side note though how can you be "unbiased" when your name is Xbok360? Seems to me a bit hypocritical.
