You don\'t prove a damn thing, Nplayer. Kojima was telling the truth. GeForce3 SDK\'s are a little more powerful than the PS2 (about twice as powerful). He was just confirming what Xbox fans already knew: 50% of an Xbox is just slightly more powerful than the PS2. However, the good thing for us Xbox fans is that the Xbox won\'t have a GeForce3 under the hood, but a chip twice as powerful as the GeForce3. So if the GF3 is twice as powerful as a PS2 and the XGPU is a step above the GF3 then the final Xboxes should be 3 times more powerful than the PS2.
You know, I thought that maybe Kojima was talking about the actual Xboxes but then I came to my senses and realized that he couldn\'t have been because no one has final Xbox hardware. THAT\'S RIGHT, NPLAYER, NO ONE HAS FINAL XDK\'S SINCE THEY HAVE JUST RECENTLY STARTED MASS PRODUCTION. I suggest that before you pull stuff from your ass that you think about it (if possible) and see if it can pass as remotely believable!
You don\'t think Kojima would have opinions about something he doesn\'t have. For example: What if I said, "Final Fantasy X will suck because I didn\'t like IX!" Well, being the astute gamers you are, you would reply to me by saying, "How can you say that, you\'ve never played FFX!" And I would feel dejected and leave. So I doubt that Kojima would make opinions about something he has no knowledge of. He\'s just a producer. That\'s like asking Spielberg about the technology used in Jurrassic Park 3. He might have SOME idea of it, but you\'d do better by talking to the lead technology engineer.
So if I were a fanboy I would say, "Kojima admits that PS2 is much weaker than the Xbox!" Why? Well, because he admitted that Alpha2 XDK\'s were more powerul than a PS2. Common sense would tell you that the XGPU is twice as powerful as a GF3 so it\'s right to conclude that Xbox is three times more powerful than PS2. Logic and commonsense folks. Oh, and another thing, here\'s an earlier quote by the same Mr. Hideo Kojima:
I can\'t tell you what specific enhancements will be made. As for the Xbox, I think its expressive power is considerable, perhaps greater than the PS2\'s.

In other words, Kojima said that Xbox was more powerful to a large extent or SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful than PS2. So, you can do one of two things, NPlayer: Either admit that Kojima was contradicting himself or admit that Kojima was saying that the Xbox is much more powerful than the PS2. Niether choice may be desirable to you, but those are the only two that exist. The lesson to be learned from this? Don\'t put too much stock into quotes.
