100 % true... I have a playstation, and the action-flightsim
"Ace Combat" outperforms all flightsims I saw on my PC (a very
fast 100-Pentium system with EDO-Ram and a 64-bit-VRAM-graphics-card)
in terms of playability, good-looking and screen refresh-rate on a 
400 $ hardware (well, that's the price of the playstation around
here, I don't know how much it actually is in the US).
Too bad that you have to spend around 20'000 bucks to get a
development system.. It should be heaven to make games on machines
like psx or saturn...
