Shader Model 4.0 is a feature of DirectX 10, which has been released with Windows Vista.
Shader Model 4.0 will allow for 128-bit HDR rendering, as opposed to 64-bit HDR in Shader Model 3.0 (although this is theoretically possible under Shader Model 3.0)
Shader Model 3.0 Compliant: Xbox 360 and PS3.
The PS3's nVidia RSX "Reality Synthesiser" is based on the NV47 Chip - which is the Nvidia GeForce 7800 Architecture... which is NOT --> Shader ...
Errr... aren't some of you forgetting that Microsoft could also LOWER the Xbox 360 price --> AGAIN...
You say --> As AA+ full games, even in quantity, PS3 wins hands down right now, juste remove DLC / XBLA / PSN games from this and you'll get the REAL stats (with biased meta scores, though).
* So remove these PS3 games - for example?
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
Flower
WipEout HD
Bionic Commando Rearmed
Super Stardust HD
PixelJunk Monsters
Everyday Shooter

What is --> QORE? What precisely do you get with a $24.99 dollar - subscription?
Isn't it very much like a "part" of what one gets with a one year Xbox 360 Live subscription?
Don't Qore subscribers also have advanced access to game betas and demos vs non-paying PSN users - just like Xbox Live Gold members do vs Xbox Live Silver members?

You say --> I'm not even factoring in the cost of all the addons (wifi, expensive hard...
Perhaps --> Sony should too eh?
Or are YOU or ANYONE ELSE going to actually believe that Sony isn't just-as-guilty?
Yeeeeeeesh!
Halo Wars has sold 1 Million copies... apparently the best selling RTS console game --> EVER.
AND --> Why just mention SO4 sales?
What about Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom sales?
What about Valkyria Chronicles --> sales? How are those PS3 exclusive RPGs doing?
Is GTA IV: The Lost and the Damned --> the ONLY $20 dollar DLC ever released though?
So EVERY $20 dollar DLC will outsell --> ANY <-- full retail game?
Mmmm Hmmmm...
Then you'll AGREE that with the PREVIOUS generation --> the XBOX had a greater number of GREAT games vs the PS2, and ALSO a greater number of GOOD games - according to this chart -> http://www.siliconera.com/w...
RIGHT?

Also --> BOTH Sony --> AND <-- Microsoft have licensed the PhysX SDK for their video game consoles.
QUOTE from the HipHopGamer article --> While the whole issue might not seem like that big of a deal to most gamers. It is a big deal to IGN’s self cultivated image of being a fair and balanced news outlet which is now being tarnished. In no other reviews that I researched for this article could I find reviewers claiming the PS3 version to be inferior. It seems as if every site except for IGN agrees that the two version’s run basically identical to each other. In every game play comparison ...
You asked--> How many 360 games can support 32 players online like 1st gen PS3 games(Warhawk)
Well - Perfect Dark Zero can/did... and it also was a first-gen 360 title - YES?
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway also supports 32 players.
And Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield 2: Modern Combat supports 24 players.

You claim --> The PS3 wins hands down because of dedicated servers which the 360 has none.

The main reason for the fairly recent turn around concerning PC games... is the rise in loss-of-revenue for PC games due to the enormous amount of illegal PC game downloads.
Much like ...
You also said --> That’s way the console industries dictates the future of PC gaming.
FACT - Released in 2007, PC shooter S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was one of the first commercial titles to make use of --> DEFERRED RENDERING.
So BOTH your comments are FALSE.
#1) Killzone 2 isn't the ONLY game to use deferred rendering.
#2) Killzone 2 WASN'T EVEN THE FIRST home console game to use deferred rendering.
#3) The PC game: S.T.A.L.K.E.R uti...
Previously you said this --> Games like Killzone 2 and Gears of War actually look and play better than any PC game on the market.
You were being sarcastic there too - RIIIIGHT? Yeah - right.
Gears of War on the PC --> LOOKS and RUNS --> BETTER vs the Xbox 360 version. FACT!
You also said this --> And please before you bring up Crysis looking better than any console game you wrong, because to produce those high quility visuals(I'm sure someon...
YOU ASK --> so how do you explain Killzone 2? no PC can run Killzone 2 and if and when it is released for PC it will be completely watered down!
IF <-- Killzone 2 was ever released for the PC... which it won't be - BUT IF IF IF --> it ever was... it would look FAR BETTER than the PS3 version.
There's FAR MORE processing power available to PCs... not to mention WAAAAAAAAAAAY more system RAM.
The Cell chip and GPU inside the PS3 can't match the la...
Read what I did say.. and THINK-ABOUT-IT.
I wasn't trying to be serious, silly... d ' ohhh!
Many claim Killzone 2 shows off the power of the PS3...
And many claim it is the best looking game around...
So does that also mean those people should also be claiming that the PC <-- is MAXED out too? LOLOL...

While the fact that id Software is working on an entirely new franchise is exciting, the big news, Hollenshead said, is the engine the game is running on an engine that can allow a developer to create games for the Mac, the PC, the Xbox 360 and the PS3 simultaneously by using identical media for all four platforms.
"Rage looks the same on all four platforms. It's all the same media, it's the same art, literally" he said. "It's damn hard to do t...
"As far as game content, I will swear on the lives of my children that nothing was cut," said Willits in an early shoot-down of the rumor.
But what of the compression issue? During his QuakeCon speech in August, Carmack put pressure on Microsoft to drop its royalty fees for additional Xbox 360 discs in order to free up more space for the game's content, saying the title would look worse on the Xbox 360 due to compression. Now Willits says the whole thing was a classic ...
Qore is entirely optional and is not required to play online.
LOL --> I KNOW it's "optional" --> my point is... in order to get first crack at some betas and game demos --> one has to PAY for a Qore subscription. If you want FIRST crack at those PSN offerings --> THERE-IS-NO-OTHER-OPTION!
You say --> WiFi maybe optional but it is required to plenty of people these days.
The 20GB PS3 model --> had ZERO --> WiFi built-in. ...
