...You probably didn't read many post E3 articles that weren't about 
Sony/PS3.  The Alpha Xbox 360 dev kits on hand at E3 have only 1/3 the 
capabilites/power of the (final relase) Xbox 360 console.  This fact was 
pretty much plastered all over most videogame websites.

No suprises here.  Most alpha release dev kits are no where near the full 
performance capabilities of the end product.

How could the PS3 not be any better than what was "shown" at E3?  What was 
shown at E3 from Sony was pre-rendered footage.  The footage that wasn't 
pre-rendered suffered terrible frame rates.  Sony certainly can't sink any 
lower than that...can they?  As far as I'm concerned, there's only room for 
improvement.
