The last four minus the Switch are that is pretty dang pedantic tho, "PC" usually means any home computer nowadays. Plus, PowerPC...
Serious, do you unironically think I was being pedantic? Given that "xbox has pc roots" is a sort of ambiguous nothing-statement that doesn't relate in any way to my question, (which is about the PS3) I thought pointing out that all consoles are just specialised, simplified computers was apt.
Macs still exist, and if the only computer you had was a Mac, you wouldn't say ”I have a PC”. The distinction is also useful for historical purposes, you wouldn't call an Amiga or Commodore 64 a PC.
No, not really, I also thought that statement was irrelevant. The only way I can interpret is as being in any way relevant is that the original Xbox was based on regular PC hardware, but the 360 wasn't, it used a custom PowerPC chip, so I don't know what their point was. If it was to say ”the 360 wasn't based on custom hardware unlike the PS3”, then that's flat out incorrect.
This is true u rite, I just thought it funny that PPC took "PC" anywho. And yeah Amigas are "micros" usually...
See me either, thank you I sat and puzzled over the comment trying to figure out what the point was. While we're here, is the Xenon CPU in the 360 a native three-core die? That would make it I think the only native tricore die ever? Save maybe the Wii U's thing?
