PS3 vs 360

[gdf]

There have been similar threads in the past, but all have gone astray. this is the ultimite ps3 vs 360 thread ok? right, argue your selected console in here, don't bring the wii into this, it can't be compared because of the stark contrasts between it and the others. Just put your opinions and counter arguments, dont just say "ZOMFG THE GRAPHICZ IZ DA BEST!", try to back them up, and don't flame. capiche?
(the icon for this thread is the greatest thing ever, like 2 dudes squaring off)

[The King]

well for me i would go with the 360 i had the reasons in my sig before but i took em off but i will say why

i have a vid to represent why i prefer 360

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R98qC0fd_1w

that vid has nearly all the reasons why i dont like ps3 but its not because of the vid that i dont like it

[JKKDARK]

Xbox 360, because i don't want a commercial failure in my home.

[PrettyStupidPerson]

why not the wii... oh wait it suks i forgot...ps3 for me. why?? because i can

[The King]

yo come on lets have an actual argument here of wich one win's just not wich one u would get come one be real give back ground details

[SnesR0X]

The 360 is good, cause of the games;)

[skater9269]

right now 360 because of the games(GOW) but later on the ps3 because of the specs aka faster processor(I think about 3 times) and gpu. Plus blue ray(sony's little trojan horse). Not to mention LINUX!(even without gpu support) and lastly MOTION SENSITIVITY(yea total ripoff but still a good feature) The games will get better remember all games released so far are with a stock SDK and the GOOD 360 games are with custom everything. Sony just released a new SDK if I remember correctly.

[kcajblue]

why not the wii... oh wait it suks i forgot...ps3 for me. why?? because i canif you dont have anything constructive to say. then dont post.

[SnesR0X]

360 games I want:
Devil May Cry 4
The Darkness
Resident Evil 5
Dead Rising 2
Halo 3
Stranglehold
Assassins Creed
Possibly Blue Dragon
Possibly Bioshock

Wii games I want:
Resident evil 4 Wii Edition
Resident Evil UC
Smash Bros. Brawl

In my mind those are the best two consoles, unfortionatly the Wii is the lesser of the two

[ICE]

im not going to mention the wii.

at this point in time it appears that the ps3 is screwed.

its price indicates that it will have the smallest install base and logic dictates that major 3rd party publishers simply wont make games for systems that people dont have(ie the gamecube).

sony- 3rd party games= CRAP

where will those 3rd party publishers be you ask?

WII60!!

Same as well. Except take out the "possibly" in Bioshock, its gonna be amazing!

[gdf]

bioshock looks pretty amazing.

#sadly mgs is still ps3 exclusive, but i'm sending a letter to kojima (i really am) and it might not change anything but if enough people did it...

ps3 doesn't have banjo kazooie. for every ps3 game there is a better alternative already on 360 or coming to 360.

for example
Racers: motorstorm<pgr series, forza 2
shooters: resistance<gears
High profile exclusives: mgs4=Halo
platformers: ratchet<Banjo

the list goes on

[Triv1um]

1. motorstorm isnt meant to be like any boring track racing game. so thats a unfair comparison.

2. resistace owns gears so much. gears is the most overhyped game in the world.

3. dont even get me started on halo. two words - microsoft fanboys, and mgs is the best series on the planet.

4. i cant comment because i haven't played banjo. but R&C is good.

[gdf]

1. yes you can compare, although the type of racing is different, forza and pgr are still far superior games.
2. i played it and resistance is very bog standard shooter really. nothing special whatsoever, gears is the kind of shooter that sticks so much to the genre stereotypes yet manages to refresh them at the same time.
3. i love mgs and i will be very disappointed if it doesn't eventually get a 360 release, but as far as high profile exclusive games go, the two look just as good as each other right now.
4. ratchet is good, banjo is GREAT!

4. ratchet is good, banjo is GREAT!

1.motorstorm is unlike any other racer for any console... it really does not compare. its more of a fighting game than a standard racer.

2. Resistance ...meh, is what it is. it isnt trying to break boundaries, just gives you amazing weapons which make it worht while. again nothing compares to trying to hide from auger fire.

3.MGS4 will never be on the 360. and a genre defining series does not compare to a overhyped shooter.

4. Ratchet isnt really a platformer, its a shooter. and if you believe banjo will not suffer from rares situation then you are much mistaken.

5. Little Big Planet.

[gdf]

little big planet looks good actually, one of the few reasons to posess a ps3. :p!
MGS4 WILL be on 360, i just have to send mr h kojima death threats. ratchet IS aplatformer but with shooty bits included, much like jak ii (best not to mention 3 or X eh?) and banjo kazoiie is impossible to ruin. it is such a formulaic platformer but manages to be so good at the same time, so the same template works as long as you keep the level designs fresh.

[SnesR0X]

I screamed in joy when they offcialy announced Devil may Cry 4 for 360, I don't care if I don't get MGS4

[The King]

wtf DMC 4 for 360 boya another great game for an kik ass console

[Shadowblind]

Really, I played Resistance. To me, its like a Suped-up Call of Duty 2. Gears of War: I bought it 2 months ago, and I still play it online everyday.

There is no equal. Especially not Resistance.

MGS:PO...I don't know what it was about it. I just hated it. I'm not really a stealthy person though. If its like MGS4 I'm not missing much.

Wii: Decent Graphics, but Insane gameplay.
Xbox: Amazing Graphics, Insane Gameplay.
PS3: Amazing Graphics but Poor gameplay.

I guess I don't really care all THAT much about graphics then.

Really the only POSSIBLE reason I'd buy a PS# is if KH3 or another Klonoa game was an exclusive on it. KH3 is a possiblity, which makes me sad, but if the PS3 continues this path, maybe Enix will wise-up a bit.

[quzar]

This isn't exactly the situation, but this is usually how I take to these arguments (I of course, am the guy in the middle):

[SnesR0X]

that was spot-on

360 > ps3

[joshisposer]

I just look at how sony loses roughly 240$ every ps3 sold. Yet, they are still doing great, the games they have, even though like a year later start than 360, they have great games. Oblivion is better on the PS3. Also, they are thinking of lowering the price for PS3 because blu-ray is dominating hd-dvd and could be able to lower the price. The ps3 all the way for me, better cell, better performance, quieter and they didn't steal the motion sensitivity since it is completely different and they have it for the ps1 back in like 1999.

For me PS3. that rhymes :D

[lmtlmt]

yell said bro ^^^^^^

[Triv1um]

Indeed.

PS3 > xbox

[White_Hawk_UK]

I haven't either of them, but if I were to purchase one of them, it would be the PS3. I'd rather have a real next-gen console; with vastly superior specs and potential, it's a winner for me.

But then, I'm the sort of person who would rather buy the faster, better car than cry that it's not as good as a re-vamped Fiesta because it doesn't have electric windows...

good point! i would also make a note of how quickly the original xbox disspeared from existence when the 360 was released [much like the gamecube]. Which doesnt look good for when the next iteration of the console is released, especially as it will arrive alot sooner than the next playstation, if only to try and keep up.

Sony announced it would cost $600
Sony shut-down Lik-Sang stopping the internet importing games with names like Super Happy Doujishisin: Type XX4! Gold Edition
All I want for X-Mas is a PSP
A supposed "poor" marketing scheme (thisisliving)
The games are poor ports of 360 games
Blu-ray is pointless
It's big
All the games are "brown" (Motorstorm)
Removed the Emotion Engine


Despite all these assumptions and arguments everyone makes, the PS3 is still shifting quite a few units everywhere and broke records in the UK for a launch weekend. So yeah, the PS3 is better.

so your logic is that anything that breaks records is better?

if you look at what both systems have to offer right now the 360 is better. sure the ps3 is more powerful but 360 has way better games for now. wii that change? im thinking not much.

install base determines 3rd party support. look at GC for instance. was there really anything wrong with GC? not really... just no one had one which caused 3rd party support to stop..

basically sony needs to get a bigger install base NOW but since they literally cant drop the price that means expect more stuff like HOME and other gimmicks to try and get people to buy.

so did i. i still have one.. well its my sisters but its basically a melee and naruto clash of ninja machine now..

Breaking records technically means its better. Take an athlete, if he breaks a record, he is better. Simple enough?

The point I was trying to make was that despite all the negativity and bullshit, Sony have done the best they could. A 4 million + install base is pretty good, once the "gimmick" (:rolleyes: ) of Home comes out, LittleBigPlanet, Heavenly Sword and Lair, by the end of this year you'll see it do better.

You can't call something a failure after 7 months release in one area of the world and 2 months in another.

ok first dont talk down to me.

second breaking records doesnt mean its better. the wii is killing everything in sales but does that make it better?

third i didnt call it a failure because its too early to call. what i did say is that sony HAS to do something to increase install base or 3rd party support will go away and we all know that causes :( poor GC

sonic, I don't think it's happening

oh no TALKING DOWN TO YOU!? oh gosh i am so sorry i am going to hide now you have so many posts i am so scared

Third party support? Erm, the majority of games go to both the 360 and the PS3, but I agree that it does need more games. The Playstation Network is growing however, at a massive rate.

[wolfpack]

i say the 360 because it has a wider selection of games and because xbox live is so kickass. the only reason id buy a PS3 is for Metal Gear Solid 4, and a good Final Fantasy title.

if everyone would step back and look at the entire ps3 vs. 360 picture you can CLEARLY see that the 360 is the better product. the ps3 does more but the bloody blue-ray drive could very well be the death of ps3.. its just too much $$$ for something that no one really wants.. remove the drive and voila! the ps3 is cheap.

The Wii, 360, and PS3 are on a par in my book. They each have flaws and benefits that put them at equal. My console of choice from day to day would be the 360 though, simply because the library of games for the system is eccentric enough that I'm not limited to just a few genres b my console choice, as is the case with the Wii and PS3.

good show

[kcajblue]

dont really care which is better.
and i dont know what better is to you.
better to me isnt graphics and stuff like that.

thats why i prefer the wii.

[SnesR0X]

I like good graphics and good gameplay :D

[lmtlmt]

which ps3 has both of :D

[gdf]

as does the 360, but with much better games and much cheaper :)

[lmtlmt]

i didtn say the 360 didnt, and ofcours it has better games "now" because it got a 1 year head start.

[gdf]

well that is sony's fault. anyway most people just get ps3 becuse they have always bought sony. "Well i had a ps1 then a ps2 so i'll just stick with the ps3".

they let their mild fanboyism cloud their judgement. Just because a console is sony doesn't mean it is in any way superior. also why do sony fanboys accuse people with other opinions to their own of fanboyism whilst denying their own inherent fanboyism AT THE SAME TIME!

[gamerremag]

yay! i love these kinds of threads.....

what are we debating about ps3 and 360 (wii is off on the side, waiting for MP: C or SM: G to come out)

are we debating price, techs, design, or overall ?

price point wise, it depends on what you are going to do with your system. If you have a hd tv, and you plan on buy next gen dvds, then i would get the ps3. If you are just trying to find a way to get decent games for a cheap system, id get the 360. the main reason i got my ps3 was because:
1. BLU-RAY B**CH (hd dvd player costs 200 USDs, and the size of the disk is only aroud 3 times as much as a standard dvd, while blu ray is about 6 times [30gb vs 60gb])
2. Exclusive games (socom, tekken, MGS, jak and daxter, motorstorm, ratchet and clank, syphon filter, ect)
3. I have a hd tv in my room (720p native, but works with 1080i)
4.tilt (sony settled an agreement with the company that owns the dual shock technology, so we will have rumble in the future)
5. Free wireless networking (extra 100 USDs if you want that for 360)
6. Free web browsing
7. No online charges (no xbox live scams)
8.easyness of the xmb (the layers on the 360 are so anoying)
9. Full hd quality
10. ability to run different operating systems on it (this is supported by sony, so its not homebrew/hacking)
11. HOME!!!!!!!

but to top it all off, i know that the system is complete, there isnt anything that i can see worth updating.

oh, what color is the new xbox 360, is it BLACK?!?! I WONDER WHERE THEY GOT THAT COLOR FROM!! HEY LOOK THEY ADDED A HDMI PORT, TO BAD I ALLREADY HAVE THAT WITH PS3!!!!
Oh, and i have an article that i got from game informer, and it said that microsoft signed a deal with another company, stating that it also was going to use tilt.

now that pricepoint is done, lets do techs:

im not to good with deciphering through graphic card specs...but i have read through various magazines (mosly PSM....but they had a xbox representative to make the comparison between the 360 and the ps3 not look so bad) but what i read was that the graphics card for the PS3 was higher than the 360 (i believe it was in processing power, not MiB) but that the difference was so little, it is hardly worth noting.

the main processing unit for the ps3 is made up of one core unit (CELL) and it has six branching micro cores off of it. These micro cores are important to bring down the stress on the main core, allowing the ps3 to do more functioning without it slowing down. all are running 3.2 ghz

The processing unit for the 360 is a processor called the Xenon and it is made up of three cores making it less powerful than the ps3. still, all cores are running at 3.2 ghz.

uh, design is just whatever you like. i still think its funny on how microsoft just happened to pick black for the "best" xbox.

overall, i guess its just really what you are going to do with it. if you are just going to sit down a few times a week, get a 360. If you are die hard, love more than 10 exclusives ( who even likes fable?), and want the most for your money (the 360 does cost more in the long run) get a ps3 (60gb, 20gb is not so good)

[gdf]

360 i would say has more exclusives and is the systemn of the hardcore more than ps3. thanks at least for making some valid points and not just defending every aspect of the system blindly like a fanboy. a lot of chavs who play only fifa are getting the ps3 because they have just always used sony. these are the real casual gamers.

[quzar]

oh, what color is the new xbox 360, is it BLACK?!?! I WONDER WHERE THEY GOT THAT COLOR FROM!! HEY LOOK THEY ADDED A HDMI PORT, TO BAD I ALLREADY HAVE THAT WITH PS3!!!!

You do realize that almost every single console has beein either black or grey/white/silver right?

[Gold Line]

so what if the 360 is in black all consoles are in black why must you try and bring the 360 and wii down?

[gdf]

yeah i suppose the orignal xbox was THE black console (never liked it though)

[ICE]

why the crap bring up color?

the wii is white and thats the color of purity so its better!

color is irrelevant.

[SnesR0X]

my WHITE wii and 360 are very sexy, thank you very much.
I could care less about blu-ray and HD-DVD, but when I am ready to switch, it will be cheaper than 200, which is cheap for HD-DVD anyways
I absolutely had to get a 360 anyway, mainly because of Dead Rising, Gears, and eventually Halo. Now that I can, I'm getting Devil May Cry for it, when I thought I had to get a ps3 for it.
So far there is no word on when the next console based Kingdom hearts game is coming out, but if it is ps3-only I will buy it

[gamerremag]

im case modding my wii..... i wish there were more colors than black... anyone know were i can find some other colors?

[Gold Line]

the wii is white and thats the color of purity so its better!

amen to that :thumbup:

[Triv1um]

Yeah, i think the white wii colour is awesome.

The white xbox colour always looks dirty.

I wish they done a glossy white ps3 :(

[SSaxdude]

Xbox 360:
better games (I really don't care about FFXIII)
I'm tired of Sony for many reasons
Blu-Ray is a quick HD fix, but nothing special (same with HD DVD)
I can buy a 360 and Wii for about the same price as a PS3
They are about equal in power
According to developers, the 360 is easier to develop for

[808]

They are about equal in power

They aren't equal in power, PS3 is more powerful. The information is out there, check out the Beyond3D forums, its all straight from developers who work with these consoles

[ICE]

yep ps3 is actually significantly more powerful and also significantly more difficult to make games for.

[lmtlmt]

the ps3 is going to be available in white and silver.

[gdf]

but then you if you already have one you are hardly going to rebuy...

anyhoo yes the ps3 is more powerful but are developers caring and actually using that power? not one bit. the 360 so far has better looking games because the developers have almost a full handle on its power so will have more control over what they do with their games, wheras the ps3 has lots of excess power that isn't being used up because developers don't want/need to use it.

[808]

Developers are ****ing lazy

[Triv1um]

Well it is meant to be really hard to program for the cell processer.

So if its hard it takes longer = more money = more money for game = devs wont make.

That is the only down side i can think of about the ps3 games.

[gdf]

well that is their problem so get a 360 so really you get the one with what looks like the best power because it is better utilised! :)

[SnesR0X]

Developers are ****ing lazy

or maybe they cannot make a good game because they use all of their money, since sony screwed them over

[gamerremag]

thats a load of lies the ps3 did not sell that much in the uk :mad:

[Shadowblind]

I updated the post with another vid.

[Gold Line]

that one is better true facts why the wii and 360 are better than the ps3

[Shadowblind]

I just thought of something--since Devil May Cry 4 is for the 360 as well, since FF13 and MGS4 are coming late '08, im wondering if Epic would have made Gears of War 2! If that happens....Then the impact of MGS4 and FF13 put together, at BEST, would be the same as Gears of War 2! :whoa...:

Wouldnt it be awesome if Nintendo and Microsoft joine and made the Wiibox720?

Think---astounding original gameplay mixed with incredible innovation, controls with enough financial backing to make their console nice, cheap and affordable and all of Nintendo and Microsoft's huge amount of exclusives...

[808]

it's old though, it still talks about how the 360's graphics card is better, its not

[Gold Line]

good idea but lets stop and think about it

nintendo + Microsoft = best game con ever!

nintendo + Microsoft = not going to happen :(

[SnesR0X]

yea 808 you say the same thing over and over just stop posting crap :mad:

[808]

Figures wise, the 360's graphics card is better. The Playstation 3's RSX however, works together with the Cell to create an extremely powerful graphics architecture.

You're only telling me to shut-up because the only things you can use in your arguments with are YouTube links

[Shadowblind]

Hey, I never told you to shut up. I respect all gamers, despite their choice of system. I respect you as much as I respect myself, gold line and everyone else. :)

As for that thought, if used to its potential, both the 360 and PS3 would be on par. However, due to the fact that it is very hard to program for Cell, most graphics must be dimmed down so that making the games for the PS3 can be, mostly humanly possible.

Most (I'm stressing most here, please don't bring up Splinter Cell for the love of god) 360 ports to the Playstation 3 so far have been similar or on par.

Think about that for a minute - a console which is extremely hard to develop for, had a poor devkit to start with, had developers learning as they go along is STILL putting out titles which are in line with the console they were made for.

[SnesR0X]

I'm telling you to shut up because of you attitude, which seems to be that there are no real faults in the PS3, which of course there are many. I love all consoles, they make their own to to either fail or be a huge success. The only reason I criticize any of them has solely to do with their price, and if they are worthy of a purchase at the price they ask. 700 Canadian dollars for something that is not as good as my 360 is not worth it until the price drops, and many more games come out. Also, youtube helps people who don't like to read with pretty pictures, just to help you understand. The comment earlier was uncalled for, and just so you know, I have never read Penney Arcade.

[808]

Why do you get so defensive when I call you out on something the PS3 does better than the 360?

[Gold Line]

just stop this nobody here likes the ps3 so just stop talking about how "great" it is

[808]

I like the PS3
