emulators are prone to compatibility issues, its not a matter of whether the ps3 is powerful enough to emulate ps2.

Also an article in regards to the hardware given from a developer's perspective:

http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-348-1.htm

A quote from the article:

Performance: On paper, the PS3 is more powerful. In reality, it’s quite inferior to the 360. Without getting into too many details, the three general-purpose CPU’s the xbox360 has are currently FAR easier to take advantage of than the SPU’s on the PS3. I suspect a few years down the road some high budget, first party PS3 exclusive titles will come out that really take advantage of the SPU’s and do things the XBOX 360 can’t, but I don’t think the console is worth buying based on this speculation (for some it will be though, we'll have to wait and see how these games turn out).

i was playing madden 08 on 360 last night, the running game is way more realistic now.

and i disagree with the qoute, xbox360 is a lot easier to program for with XNA.net and c++ or c#, ps3 is relatively easier to program for than ps2, we are already seeing graphics superior to xbox360 from this years E3 trailers.

i gotta recommend this game. ive been enjoying it a lot.
Project Silpheed for Xbox360 by SquareEnix

its one of the most hactic 1st/3rd person space shooter ever, if anyone who ever liked wing commander or decent freespace or starfox they will love this

if you ever loved robotech or macross or gundam where they are firing dozens of missiles at once and and flying between hundreds of laser and missiles shooting at you and your wingmen. its starfox on steroids.
