PS3 and WII Flash capabilities dump

I ran a simple Flash capabilities dump script on both the Nintendo WII and the PS3. I then did a diff of the two outputs against each other and against a PC.
Below are the results:

WII/PS3 to PC Differences

PrintJob methods missing on the WII and PS3

WII to PS3 Differences

PS3 has names property for Camera and Microphone, WII does not

WII/PS3 Version Strings

PS3 7,0,70,0
WII 7,0,70,0

WII/PS3 Flash Capabilities Output

And what does this tell us then? Any opinions or comments ?

I find it rather silly.

If you want to surf the web, use a PC or a Mac.

Also, you can’t create any flash 8-9 content, since they’re only version 7.

That’s my initial impression of it for now. promptly slap me if I’m wrong

I see NetConnection is there, which is generaly trimed out on other devices. It allows you to connect to flashcomm server, so build multi-user / real-time games, use the PS3 Camera I hope etc … what about performances on the PS3 ?

Dazzer,
It is a niche market, but its emerging very fast. The response the Wii and the release of the Wiis browser is astounding. I’d note, the PS3 is not as simple and usable as the Wii’s interface. Over the next 2 years, you will see a definite shift happening as media and electronics companies try to make a stake at the digital living room. In addition, surfing the web won’t be the same interaction level in your living room. It’s a different experience, calls for different UIs, apps, games, etc. A desktop experience is not a direct translation to the living room. Would you be opposed to playing all the classic games for free on your console? There are lots of opportunities coming. Like I said though, for now it is somewhat niche, the apps are different, experience is different, but its coming. Look for other major hitters to take a swing in 2007. I’d say February for Apple.

The user interface to the Web browser on the PS3 has seen many improvements with the latest updates. The problem is that the browser itself is awfully slow. If you’re running Linux on the PS3 however, it’s very responsive. The downside is that you lose Flash support. Hopefully we’ll see an official version of Flash for Linux/PPC soon!

I’m reading that people are suggesting that the PS3’s Flash has been updated.

It might be interesting to compare these capabilities again, perhaps…
