1) PS3 has more native 1080p games than XBOX360
2) PS3's GPU has complete access to all 512 MB. 256 MB are dedicated to the GPU, 256 MB are shared between Cell and the GPU. Sony told us this BEFORE PS3 came out. This is how most systems work including PSP, PS1, PS2, PC, pretty much everything other than XBOX and 360]]>Mar 13th 2010 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/Mar 13th 2010 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/Mar 13th 2010 5:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/Mar 13th 2010 6:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/2MB is still alot when we are only talking about a measly 256MB total.

No it got:

* 256MB XDR Main RAM @3.2GHz
* 256MB GDDR3 VRAM @700MHz

The PS3 has 256MB of XDR (way faster than GDDR3) and dedicated 256MB for the video card.
The 256MB your thinking of is the onboard memory storage for the operating system.]]>Mar 13th 2010 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/
You are wrong.

Xbox360 has 512MB of ram in TOTAL. But it's shared between the gpu and system.
PS3 has also 512MB of ram in total. But it's dedicated. 256MB to GPU and 256MB to system.]]>Mar 13th 2010 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/
No it doesn't, the 360 only has 512MB of GDDR3 RAM total. Its unified memory so it can be either used for system or graphics. The PS3 has the same total amount (512MB) as well, but half of it is the ultra-fast XDR memory.

PS3 has 256 MB of dedicated video RAM for the GPU, the other 256 MB is SHARED between the GPU and Cell. We've known this since before PS3 came out!]]>Mar 13th 2010 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/Mar 13th 2010 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/Mar 13th 2010 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/
It has always been thus.]]>Mar 13th 2010 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/
And that is not necessarily a knock either. It's a smart (and cheap) way of going about this, but at the same time, it will probably be WAY more limiting than Natal. If they under-cut the price of Natal, they might be able to get a decent amount of sales out of this before people see it's limitations (just like how everyone rushed to get a Wii, but now anyone that's used one sees how imprecise it is).

The device using only ~2MBs of RAM sounds about right since it's essentially a light tracker using a camera (with probably some accelerometer data mixed in) - not exactly the most computationally demanding job.]]>Mar 13th 2010 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/in what way will it be a lot more limiting then the natal? both have its advantage and disadvantage one uses not controllers which I think will be inaccurate at times and another uses controllers with a light which gives the camera the easy ability to identify the user.

im looking forward to what Move and Natal brings to hd gaming. I think the games be a lot more fun when developers have a lot more space and flexibity to work with then on the wii. plus not as strict and both companies will push developers to create better games because they want it to sell.

I cant judge right now on which is better but from the information thats out now I just think Move will have a bigger advantage over Matal because of the physical controllers will give a longer lasting appeal then nothing in your hand which I think limits on what developers can do with natal. To me seems like microsoft is hyping up the wrong thing. I think microsoft will come out with a similiar concept as Move if they want to compete.

in the future I see both the 360 and PS3 bundling with the console if they want this to be successful.]]>Mar 13th 2010 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/

I was thinking of the same exact thing that people would most likely be using natal for navigation more then gaming. which I think will be cool. im sure the eye has the same ability so well see where this takes us. its going to be interesting what developers can come up with other then gaming.]]>Mar 13th 2010 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/Mar 13th 2010 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/Mar 13th 2010 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/Mar 13th 2010 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/Since PS3 seems to be the one missing fewer stuff from the equation, i hope they develop sth similar to Natal soon]]>Mar 13th 2010 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/Mar 13th 2010 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/Mar 14th 2010 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/Mar 14th 2010 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/playstation-move-requires-only-2mb-of-ram-developers-breath-sig/Mar 14th 2010 3:03PM
