Ok, but the xbox at launch was costing 299$. I don't think you could find any PC for that price in november 2001, not without purchasing a used machine - and the used market works differently.drothgery said:Why not just go PIII-733, GeForce 3 Ti200, and 128 MB of RAM for a comprable?
Besides, the first xbox is exceptionally similar to a PC, for a console. It's quite literally the most generous comparison you could find.
Whereas the PS3 is packed with strange high-speed buses and has a CPU with eight cores that aren't even symmetrical; I find component-by-component comparisons with a PC to be meaningless.
Only the system as a whole should be compared, and it is too soon to talk about that.
