@BravoAlphaSix Sigh. It's not that simple. Yes, they don't keep the entire game world resident in memory hence talk of streaming data from disc or zones/cells but the game still has keep information about the world on hand, state of quests, etc. It's not just about items/characters in your local vicinity or dungeon. So, no, there are no games that match Skyrim or Fallout. Persistent world infromation. Got it? Persistence. No other console based games do that. It's why Bethesda's RPGs have none, zero, zip competitors. So ask much as you like to dismiss it as being "pro Bethesda", the fact is the PS3 has a hardware limitation that Skyrim has hit and it's not worth the time and cost to rearchitect the entire god damn engine for PS3 especially since it will be a legacy platform in 1-2 years time.
