nah, A is on the right on the snes

y       a
     b

and "a" was for confirming so yeah

just like always

i meant right sorry i was tired lol

[Hiro]

but what's surprising to me is that the jump this time around is so small

only in terms of exponential improvement like the graph is using, really you're going from like 3 to 300 (or 6 to 450 maybe) from the xbox to 360
from 360/ps3 to ps4 you go from 300 (or 450 idk) up to roughly 2,000 i think.
the graph is confusing i don't even get how they can have exponential growth represented linearly like that, plus the space between them is 90, 900, 9000, but proportioned exponentially
[spoiler]i'm still tired so if i don't make any sense lol[/spoiler]

that's a logarithmic scale being used in the graph

directly comparing the price of desktop video cards and consoles isn't quite fair since consoles have a ton of other hardware which in particular increased a lot with 7th gen's semi-PCificiation (HDDs are the main new part that comes to mind)

is Titan even intended for gamers? I'd imagine that the most powerful video cards would be for computational-intensive research

If a more average PC is compared to current consoles, a comparison which I imagine matters more for developers, PC will always stagnate. The average PC is especially bad because, unfortunately for PC manufacturers, they haven't managed to convince consumers that they absolutely need to buy a new machine every few years ever since Windows Aero.

i can (reluctantly) accept that the ps4 won't be compatible with ps3 games

but what's their excuse for it being incompatible with ps1 and ps2 software, really

Tell that to Thyme.

Tell that to Thyme. 

well it's more manageable now that i live alone, at least enough to use netflix, but yeah...

but why would he want to stream ps1 games when he's grown up to ps gaymen and has a ps3 still?

i think it was just an example

[Classic]

Or even myself.


I only get less than 1 mbs here.

>ps

oh god, i can't even say the dreaded term now

lol for some reason i read that as "he grew up with ps gayman", which i did, so it didn't seem weird to me
