We have reached a point in graphics hardware where = it is=20 difficult to see the difference.

Look at a 2000 poly model or a 4000 poly model = in a=20 graphics application...it is hard

to tell the difference.

The hardware field is even this time = around. The=20 last round was won by SCE because of

the hardware and ease of use to = program.

Round ONE fight!

Nintendo 64

- cartridge based and therefore many = developers stayed far away from it

Sega Saturn

- didn't have any dedicated graphics = chip

- was a nightmare to program for

Playstation

- CD based

- dedicated graphics chip

- easy to program for (hence Net = Yaroze!!)

Round TWO fight!

Dophin

- CD based

- graphics chip capable of doing at least 3 million=20 ploys

Dreamcast

- CD based

- graphics chip capable of doing at = least 3=20 million ploys

PlayStation 2

- CD based

- graphics chip capable of doing at = least 3=20 million ploys

It's all going to come down to the best games. = SCE will=20 have Crash 9,10,11,etc and

Dophin will have Mario 7,8,9,etc and or coarse = Dreamcast will=20 have Sonic 6,7,8,etc.

Has anyone seen Dead or Alive 2 for both PlayStation = 2 and=20 Dreamcast..........I have.
