Brandon from Insert Credit finally asked the question schoolyard fanboys have asked of eachother since the three current gen consoles all hit store shelves, one that when answered will put an end to the console power wars once and for all. The question: How many bits is the PLAYSTATION 3 anyway?

Answer: "The PS3 is 128 bit." That settles that. Wait... "but it is more 128 bit than the others." Oh... crap.

Read on for explanation why, according to Sony, how many "bits" a system "has" is not a good indicator of its power. It's all about the flops and cores these days! There's even some handy equations that will help you figure out how many Intellivisions it takes to match the processing power of the PS3. Invaluable! Michael McWhertor
