Wow, I could get a card to replace my nVidia 5200. I'm in!

For supply shortages, the simple fact is they are selling faster tha Microsoft can manufacture them. As for the Asian market, the reason they have such large stocks is that they are happy with what they've got, it'll be a while before the sales figures really start to roll in. One example is Korea, one of their major games is Starcraft, a game several yeas old. They are simply happy with what they've got, they don't do ravening after power quite so much as we do.

Also, you say the PS3 is more powerful, but I think you shouldn't just trust specs, they don't matter as much now as they did three years ago, look at the Radeon X1800XT. This information is from the PCGamer UK review. If you look at the specs (the lesser pipeline count ect), apart from the memory the 7800GTX is superior, but in actual tests, they are neck and neck, and at higher settings the Radeon kicks the pants of the Geforce. It is also the only card that cand run HDR and anti-aliasing. Its' all down to the technologies they use and how well they use them. You may be right, the PS3 may be better than the XBox 360, but until real benchmarks are available, we can make no assumptions.

Another point, am I the only one thats noticed that as consoles have got better they've become more like PC's. Coincidence?

I want in,
please let me have this video card!!!
so that I can finally put to rest my nice voodoo2.

So Microsoft produced a below-average piece of work but I think pretty soon the problems will be fixed and the Xbox 360 will rule the roost. At least until the PS3 arrives.

Microsoft shifted from NVIDIA to ATI for their graphics on the Xbox 360. According to PCGamer UK, as Finchy said, the X1800 XT is superior to the 7800 GTX right? But won't NVIDIA just come up with a better graphics chip and maybe that chip might go into the PS3. What then?
My Question: Will Microsoft's move to integrate ATI graphics into the Xbox 360 take a beating from superior NVIDIA technology that MIGHT be integrated into the PS3?

Great way to grab eyeballs...

Well, in the console wars, there is only one deciding factor, the games. The PS3 may have more games, but the Xbox 360 has the Halo series. It also has Perfect Dark Zero, and Call of Duty 2. Get whichever console has the games you want, and don't worry about the specs.

lol, yeahya halo!!!!! whaooo, i think that counts for alot as far as gaming goes.
Thought technically the ps3 has much more..lifting power, as i do believe some might have already pointed out. Meaning with multiple cores, well yeah i think it has like 9 cores right?
