PS3 vs 360

[nyjetsguy27]

which system is better? not which one you think will be better, but out of playing both of them, which one has better graphics, gameplay, blah blah blah

[steelersfan43]

*runs and hides from froggy*

[P-L]

I bet very few people have actually played enough of both to fairly judge. This will probably end up being 360 fanboys voting for their system and PS3 fanboys voting for theirs. I think the systems are probably damn similar, and it just depends on extra features and games the individual prefers.

[Tubby]

I perfer the 360 because it has great exclusive games

[NIN1984]

360 has everything

[frogstomp]

Don't do this buddy. If you're really interested in getting one of the systems, review the games. See the games that you like, and what systems it will be on. If you can't decide after that, then try renting each system for like a week, and just trying it out. But if you need some people over the internet who probably won't have both systems what to buy, then you're probably going to end up making the wrong decision. Personally, I chose the 360 because it has Halo, Gears of War, the next Splinter Cell, Alan Wake, Lost Planet, Mass Effect, Fable 2, andmany other exclusives that I'm into. The PS3 doesn't really have much I'm interested in, other than MGS4. The price tag was also a bit high for me.

I will say, if you're going to get a PS3, wait until a little later. It has its problems just like the launch 360's.

[NIN1984]

and plus 360 is getting the new GTA game

[frogstomp]

I was simply listing exclusives. :P

Yes the 360 is getting GTA IV, as well as "exclusive downloadable content." Whatever the hell that is. However, I'm not willing to use multiplatform games to our advantage, unless they'll be better on the 360, like Assasins Creed. :wink:

[njx9]

i vote for whatever frogstomp thinks is worse.

[njx9]

also, the first person who says something incoherent or wrong about technology gets a signed boot from me, delivered straight to their backside.

frogstomp > Aids.

Apparently you're a fan of aids. You bastard.

ps3

[Eaglez.Fan]

The PS3 is better, There is no doubt, with the price and everything you might say it's a better buy, but I don't see how anyone can say the 360 is better.

The PS3 has better graphics, not by a lot or anything but it does. The gameplay is even now but the PS3 has way better potential.

Most of all the PS3 doens't use it's full potential at this time, most of the games are just copies ofthe 360 form. I have a PS3 magazine and the newer games would blow out the 360

that's why i think the 360 is better. They're pretty much the same but 360 is much cheaper.

You guys don't understand how much more powerfull the PS3 is. Right now yes they are almost identical, because the games out now are copies of the 360 version. The new games (like said b4) like blow away any 360 game. In terms of gameplay, realism of overall game, and graphics will be better. NBA 07 the life, is quite a bit better than the 360, its the best graphic game for the PS3 so far, but it still doesn't reach its full potential

Obviously you don't understand. The PS3 graphics as of right now definitely are not betterthan 360 graphics. NBA 07 for both systems, after playing them side by side at EB, are essentially the same thing. It has been said by soooo many developers that the systems have essentially the same power. The PS3's cell also isn't ideal for gaming, it's meant for a computer, which the PS3 is more of. Total power wise, yes the PS3 has more. However, when it comes to games, the systems are practically identical. The PS3 games will also continue to look better, but so will the 360's. Look, when was the PS3 originally supposed to be released? March? Exactly. Games have been being designed for the PS3 since march. They aren't as far behind the 360 as many people would think.

If they were so unequal, why would an editor of the Official Playstation Magazine buy a 360 instead?

In fact, it could be argued that the 360 has more *gaming* power. http://www.itvidya.com/playstation_3_vs_xbox_360 ,

And aside from that,


http://www.gwn.com/news/story.php/id/11006/title/Oblivion_Developer_Blu-ray_Is_Slower.html

Bethesda is duplicating data on the PS3 version of Oblivion in an attempt to bring load times up to Xbox 360 speeds.

Speaking with EGM, a paper magazine, Bethesda Software's Todd Howard commented on the upcoming PS3 version of Oblivion:

"Drive speed matters more to me [than capacity], and Blu-ray is slower." http://dpad.gotfrag.com/portal/story/35372/?cpage=1

[Eaglez.Fan]

Like I said the PS3's current games are copies of the 360's. When more games are released you will see the difference

Your personal opinion means nothing to me.

[Eaglez.Fan]

And you think those opinions mean anything to me :roll:

An idiot could have wrote that

How I judge the two is, I have played both, maybe the PS3 more but I have still played the 360. And the PS3 isn't using it's full potential (arguebly obviously)

That isn't opinion... it's pretty much fact.

Do you even understand hardware?

[Beans]

Why do people not include the Wii in these polls? It's awesome.

Anyway, of the two, I like 360. It's neat.

Because the Wii is independent. While these two consoles are based on power, the Wii is based on innovation.

Graphics: The XBOX 360 is a clear winner. The GPU is more powerful. It has more powerful fillrate, and far more pixel and vertex processing horsepower. Part of the reason is their choice of memory, and architecture of pixel and vertex procesing. I can’t get into details but the same vertex shader will run much slower on the PS3 than the XBOX 360. The 360 also has a clever new way rendering high definition anti aliased back buffers. To accomplish the same effect on PS3 is prohibitively expensive. For this reason I think many games will have no choice but to run in non-HD resolutions on the PS3 version, use a lower quality anti aliasing technique, or do back buffer upscaling. The end result in all cases is going to be noticeably worse image quality.

It's quite obvious he doesn't and is just a PS3 fan boy.

Your argument about PS3 being more powerful isn't completely true though, atleast when I have talked to professionals. My dad knows someone who works at Microsoft, and assuming this was based on pure specs, Xbox 360 is more powerful.

The only thing that PS3 may have going is Blu Ray Disc, but 360's game library is miles ahead right now. This isn't from a perverted view either, because I'm nowhere near old enough to buy it, but Blu Ray Disc player sales will eventually be effected because I believe the industry has refused to sell porn on it.

As I have said, the specs are tricky. From a pure power standpoint, the PS3 is technically more powerful. However, for *Gaming* the 360 is just as, if not more, powerful.

fwiw, the graphics numbers you've posted so far are, as far as i've seen, off base. the ps3's video card has more pipelines, and more and better fpu's.

but ignoring statistical inaccuracies and biases, power is compeltely irrelevant. from a generalized standpoint, it's ustterly moronic to argue about the technology differences between the two machines, as the only thing that's really important is whether or not the developers bother learning how to optimize code before the next set come out. i have sincere doubts that the last round of games for either console will even come close to taking advantage of the hardware.

also, yes, i like aids.

Actually, the 360 has more pipelines... :?

Anyways, I stayed out of this argument until some guy came in spouting off facts which were not true, and had no basis. As for power, it's still helpful. Look at Xbox and Gamecube graphics compared to PS2 graphics...

[Eaglez.Fan]

I'm going to play PS3 now :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[nyjetsfan15]

the 360.

much better game selection,same graphics, $200 cheaper.

We are talking about if they are the same price, and game selction is a terrible agrument, because the PS3 pretty much just came out


And btw NFS carbon is amazing

I don't think 360 is at its full potential yet either...

[Tubby]

What most people dont understand is that its not about the graphics. Its about the gameplay. Sony consoles have never had good exclusive games (the GTA series was the only one off the top of my head, and that went to microsoft), and thats what counts. I believe the Wii has the best potential, but as far as 360 vs. PS3, I believe the 360 is much better.

[Draft King]

I personally like the 360 more, what's not to like about it. About the same type of graphics, but better gameplay and a better selection of games.

Of course it's not.
