The PS3 GPU was NOT finished!!!
Marv Burkett, nVidia's chief financial officer, revealed that the PS3's graphical processing unit (GPU), currently codenamed the RSX, is still in development and could not have been used to power the demos. The admission further fuels accusations that the demos shown at Sony's pre-E3 press conference last week were not running on actual hardware.
So the Playstation 3's graphics card wasn't finished. Well, I take back my want for the PS3. Of course, they never said if the clips from games were prerendered or real time, but they DID say that all the tech demos (the ducks in the bath and the explosion thing) were all real-time, but they used the Central Processing Unit (CPU), not the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). One thing they said was realtime was the Unreal engine, when they big guy shoots the robot. That couldn't have been real-time since the GPU wasn't even finished. I doubt it will look that good, but you never know with the guys at Epic (their engine beats Id's engine hands down!)
