Xbox 360 and PS3 CPUs: Blech -- 6:56 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Anandtech is at it again. They posted an article talking further about the Xbox 360 and PS3 CPUs. In Anand's eyes (and in the eyes of the developers they talked to) the CPUs on both consoles leave a lot to be desired. The simple answer there is one of cost. You can't slap the latest Intel or AMD chip in there and expect to sell the console for $299. It's one thing to take a loss of $100 or so. It's another thing entirely when the CPU will cost far more than the entire console will sell for. We probably won't know the final story on these CPUs until the second generation of games for both consoles is out.
