"Did Microsoft just make a mistake or did they purposely misrepresent their GPU to lead Sony on?"

Then they go on to explain how the original specs they gave of the 360 before its release, aren't as powerful as the actual 360 specs running now.

There were similar comparison screens for Ridge Racer 6 and 7 weeks ago.

It'll be an interesting 2007, that's for sure.

I remember reading a massive interview with the head of ATI about the 360 GPU, which included much talk of the unified shader technology.

It is strange that the PS3 GPU is based on 7 series Nivida hardware and not 8 series, which includes unified shaders. I think im right in saying the PS3 wont be able to render AA and HDR together, just like the 7 series PC cards.
