PlayStation II: A New Beginning

wired.com

The PlayStation II is just the first step, Kutaragi said. The machine and its successors will open up new genres of entertainment, not simply more realistic versions of today's shoot-em-up videogames.

"The impact will be beyond our imagination."

Harrison said the PlayStation II has five times the graphics-processing power of today's most powerful graphics workstation, generating 75 million polygons per second. Polygons are the basic unit used to generate the surface of 3-D models. By comparison, today's top 3-D cards pump out between one and five million polygons per second, Harrison said.

Not only does the PlayStation II boast incredible raw graphics power, it also has the power to simulate the physical properties of real world objects, including the behavior of animals and humans.
