While the BS call you make is spot on, your reasoning is pretty stupid. Why
are PS3 games running slower? Uhhh, maybe because it is newer technology
and developers are not as familiar with it? Maybe because the 360 is a lot
easier to program for.

It's a bullshit post - just like some of the other whoppers told a while
ago.

No one with any common sense would believe that it is even feasible.

Yup. It would be more believable if they said they were getting an
original Xbox emulator running with upscaling and 100% compatibility.

There's no way they can emulate the 360 GPU on a PS3.

Exactly. Even the Xbox thing would be a bit of a stretch for me. I am
thinking at least 2 generations separation for it to sound reasonable.

The PS3 can't even handle the games the 360 gets when they are ported over
and now, supposedly, an emulator will run 360 games on the less powerful
PS3. Honestly, you need a swift martial arts kick to the head.

Lay off the crack for a while, buddy. Even Mr. Impressive wouldn't
believe that one.

According to Blig, the PS3 is WAYYY too powerful to emulate a mere
360. The PS3 is so powerful that it functions in 20 different
dimensions at once, drawing power from black matter and cold fusion.
In fact, the PS3 is the only known object in our universe with enough
power to escape the event horizon of a black hole. Attempting to run
such inferior software on in could well put a tear in the fabric of
time and space.

Both comments are true. It's also true that the current set of
programming libraries (i.e. code libraries to make calls to the
graphics hardware), given to third-parties have been called "about
equal" to the the XBox 360 by third-party programmers. If there is
more power under the PS3's hood to be tapped, Sony hasn't given third-
party developers the keys yet. And the nVidia chip responsible for the
systems graphics is easy enough to evaluate and, if you're curious
it's about on par with what the 360 can do, probably a tad less
capable because it doesn't have as much texture memory.

Just realized - doesn't the 360 already emulate the Xbox? What kind of
stupid post is this?
