Nope.

Its a few MB more but NOT "way more"= fail.

Darkfalz its no longer the early nineties and todays computer chips have more than a few MB for cpu memory.

Currently, as of SDK 1.60, the PS3 operating system takes up 52 MB of main memory and 32 MB of graphics memory (84 MB total). As a comparison, the Xbox 360 still only uses 32 MB of shared memory for all its system utilities.
We're not arguing that the 360's OS is superior in efficiency, as you and I both acknowledge that 360's OS is more efficient in memory usage and in CPU usage.

...and we agree, because it's a fact.

...if you want to argue about whether or not it's *way* more efficient or not, well, that's more a subjective matter... so let's see what one of the greatest devs of our time says:

"one of the biggest things that Sony does poorly for developers is their system stuff sucks up a lot more resources than Microsoft's does on the 360. So memory is much more painful on the PS3"

He says "a lot more resources"... take it as you will.
