Most current consoles aren't either.
BUT you'll struggle to find any compeuter now less than 100G and most are 200G and ersious family-use are now pushing 300G. You get 300G drives for what you paid 2 years ago for 30G No reason to put in smaller, nobody makes small drvies anymore
This type of thread is just asking for a huge fanboy frenzy full of nonsensical crap about "this console is better than that one". As I've alredy said in another thread today, it's the games that make the machine, not the other way around...that's why the N64 was never as popular as the PS1.
Whilst it's true that the game makes the machine, it is equally true that hte same game delivered on BETTER techonology can be even better.
It would be like claiming it's the driver who makes the car, which in the top echelon of sport is true. AND THEN saying we shoudlnt' discuss the technology or features of the cars. Whoops, Wouter, better shut the site down and re-open as ultimatedriver.com Clearly there is validity in discussing both. Sadly the power of marketign means we very very seldom get the chance to do real comparision of precisely the same game on all platforms.
