Sony: PS3's competitors feeling 'long in the tooth'
SCEA' vice president of product marketing says that graphically competitors are looking 'quite dated'.
Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz at E3 last month, SCEA vice president of product marketing, Scott Steinberg labelled competition to the PS3 as "long in the tooth" and graphically "looking quite dated".
"Ten years - it goes back to our mantra of ten years. Technology that's associated with the PlayStation has to have future-proof qualities to it," said Steinberg. "I think that we're seeing, graphically, PS3 games starting to create some distance and some of the other competitors are going to feel that they're getting long in the tooth, looking quite dated, because they haven't created that ten-year vision from a horsepower standpoint."
Bold claims indeed from Sony's VP of product marketing, but claims which we're sure Microsoft will strongly disagree with.
Do you think the PS3 is making its rival consoles look dated? Let us know in the comments section below.

I think personally COD4 probably has the best looking graphics on the 360, the camo suit levels are probably some of this generation's more outstanding technical achievements. Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect and The Club also look pretty neat.
Best graphics I've seen so far anywhere is probably the Resistance 2 footage from E3, others think the Gears of War 2 footage was equally impressive.
I'd guess 2-3 years down the line the PS3 will start to pull ahead, but then there's probably a lot more to be squeezed out of the 360 that isn't currently tapped. If FFXIII can end up on a 360 anything could happen.

Best 360 Graphics Are Halo 3? Maybe Bioshock??

I rest my case, the man knows what he's talking about and everyone knows he's right, is time to the press to accept that PS3 is undoubtedly the best choice and best console this generation.
