Cool, a GPU from 2005, thats totally worse than my dual GPU GTX 295 which is now a generation old.

Yea, the 6800ultras are tank - they can run Crysis @ 5fps on low, which is much better than my almost 2-year-old GTX 295 which runs it on max @ 60fps (1920x1200).
Why are you even bothering. This is Crytek, they push everything to its max. It is physically impossible for the PS3 to be better than a gaming PC.
Lets, just for arguments sake, say that the Cell has 7 cores @ 3.2ghz (talon has explained how this isnt true, but whatever). My CPU is a core i7 920 @ 3.6ghz. Thats 8 cores @ 3.6ghz. Hm. I win
Lets look at the ram. The PS3 has some 512mb of RAM. Wow. I have 12gb in DDR3 @ 1600mhz. I win.
Lets look at the GPU. The PS3 has an RSX from 2005 @ 550mhz. I have a GTX 295 @ 600mhz, and the GTX 295 has two GPU cores. And each core is far better than an RSX. I have both a rig with a 7800GTX and my main with a GTX 295. Lets say that the 7800GTX is equal to the RSX (or even slightly worse). Well, my GTX 295 with SLI OFF gets about 10-20x more FPS in Crysis. Add SLI and thats 20-40x more. Hm, seems that my PC is AGAIN better.
Now, lets look at the end of it all. The screen. A PS3 does what, 1080p in SOME games? Huh. My 24" monitor that was $300 is 1200p (1920x1200). Its also smaller which therefore has a higher DPI than a TV. Its also got a faster refresh rate. The ONLY thing my monitor is worse at is if you have one of those fancy new 3D LED tvs. Oh geeze, I didnt spend 10x more on a lower rez monitor so that I could do 3D. Oh well.
Also, the whole "PS3 is far better than Xbox". Honestly, meh. They both svck vs. PC. On paper they're pretty similar consoles, as the Xbox GPU is far faster than the PS3s RSx, but the PS3s cell is far faster than the Xbox CPU. It roughly balances out - its just that the devs on the PS3 do a better job of optimizing their code than Xbox devs.
