Lucid

Indeed the inquirer doesnt have a valid arguement on the subject.

There are a few forums where PS3 developers post, and many articles in which developers expressed their opinions on the PS3's development and they seem very satisfied with the performance.

The article pointed by Joystiq is another example among many others where they analyze the PS3's architecture and truth be told Inquirer acted like amatuers in that article.

In just one statement of an anonymous guy(?), and one(?) slide they managed to form a complete(?) conclusion about PS3 being an inefficient, underperforming, weak piece of hardware with huge inexplicable bottlenecks as if there was no Research and testing at all. Its illogical for PS3 to have such huge issues especially if they are so "obvious" and serious.

I dont think Nvidia, Sony and IBM would have let them slip under their noses or just ignore them without caring about the consiquences.

There is no logic in that. Inquirer is the only source where such undetailed and unprofessional explanation is given to the public that the PS3 is such a problematic hardware.

So many other credible sources dedicated to hardware research have given much detailed, professional and unbiased analyis on both the 360 and the PS3 and their conclusions have nothing in common to Inquirer's claims.
