i think everyone should just slow down. Lets wait and see what actually ships. Remember the "xbox to be 10 times more powerful than ps2" hype. Just get ready for the biggest hype train to roll into town..

1 of the disadvantages of the internet has to be the fact anyone can say anything they want no matter how wrong they are.

Theoretically ps2 is something like half the speed (?), but because of its shit archetecture and bad design it probably IS 10 times slower. Not necessary 10 times less powerful as the processes per second or whatever is similar, but that doesnt really relate to actual graphical performance.. because it cant be harnessed at all.
