PlayStation 3 VS Xbox 360

Even though Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console is expected to be available in months, whereas PlayStation 3 is still about a year away, Japanese consumers are more interested in PS3. According to a survey of 1000 consumers aged 10-59 years old, 60% of consumers claimed PlayStation 3 to be the most interesting among the next-generation consoles, 8% were looking forward Nintendo Revolution gaming machine and only 2% were to acquire Microsoft Xbox 360. About 30% could not decide. The most popular reasons given for choosing the PlayStation 3 were that it was thought likely to have the largest range of software, that it is a Sony product, and the console perceived technological superiority, including Blu-ray support, notes Gamasutra web-site.

yeh i must say i've never really been a fan of the palystation but it's definately the one i'm looking forward to the most. A little unsure about nintendos revolution though, is there really a point in them bringing out a new console the gamecube didn't exactly do well. i would say for them to stick to making handhelds but looks like sony are gonna dominate that too with the amazing psp another thing i'm looking forward to, what with living in the UK and all

That's bullshit. Xbox is once again superior, and this time it's cheaper than the playstation. I'll be getting it this christmas for sure.

Xbox

If it hadn't been for the fact that it is so easy to mod the xbox, the sales would have been much much lower.

PS2 Junkie

Xbox cronies beware, the day of judgement is coming and no matter what u say the playstation 3 is still coming out on top. Even tho the xbox had surpassed the ps2 in their last bout the ps still came out victor when it came down to sales. And now after looking at the specs this time around, its bound to happen again.Sony has done their homework on this one. Last time xbox got the one up becuz they came out last,simply updating all their specs so they could out match the ps2. This time around the PS3 is coming out last,u do the math....

look at the specs again and do your math right. the ps3 is faster than the xbox 360. Halo 3? Whoop-de-doo. Halo is dead. The novelty has worn off. Look also at the screenshots for upcoming games. The xbox 360's graphics look better, ill admit... but not much. Have you bothered to look at the screens from the new Killzone? Or are you basing your post on what you personally think of the ps3 / xbox 360, like the last couple of posters did?

Xbox 360 fans -- PS3 is better. Swallow your pride and GET OVER IT.

The Killzone video/screenshots are CG, this is widely known.
PS3 will obviously be technically superior, being released a significant amount later. Some analysts even think Sony could release it on 2007 and maintain their lead on Microsoft.


Now shut up you fanboys.

For the first 2-3 years of these consoles' releases, you won't see any difference between games of the xbox or ps3. There isn't a game engine available that can use all the "power" of these consoles.

The games that will come out in the first couple years of the consoles' release will be as good looking as PC games are now but with longer loading times.

Thanks to huge publishers like EA, Ubisoft, etc, you'll see a good amount of games come out on both systems and they will be graphically the same. Buy the console that has your favorite, proprietary game series because that will be the only thing seperating the consoles until developers and programmers get smart about creating games that can use 3 or more cpu's. You're going to be buying the same product whichever you choose. It's like choosing between Coke and Pepsi right now.

That is alot of bull playstation is over rated. Playstation is only popular because it knocked off Nintendo 64, which I think was a better system then Playstation. And if you read your facts right to all playstation fans they do not know if they are even going to get the blu ray disc to work for the ps3, think about it if was a sure thing xbox would of released blu ray disc on its system

you xbox guys are delirious. have u read the specs. the ps3 dominates the xbox360 with new technology. the cell processor is gonna be more powerful than people think. and personally the xbox 360 graphics arent anything to be gawking over especially since the xbox is so close to release. and the addition of blu-ray discs and hd-dvd discs are gonna put the playstation one up on the xbox. a dual layer blu ray holds a little over 50 gigs of data. that just completely crushes a regular dvd. just read the specs and do the math. xbox 360 is really just an xbox 1.5

oh and one more thing playstation has all the good games and the developers know how to make use of the playstation where as xbox doesnt. i mean for as much power as the xbox has it really never quite outdoes a ps2 game and have u seen the preview for black. it looks incredible on ps2 better than most xbox games even with the weaker performance. xbox cannot do shit with its games. Gran Turismo vs Project Gothem for example. Gothem sucks and Gran Turismo plays better and looks better

I like the 360, except for the fact that it still uses DVD's, which might mean we're gonna see multi-disc games like how the playstation did it. I like the specs of the 360 more, although the graphics card kinda sucks pixel fillrate-wise. For the PS3, The "Cell" processor might be better than what you would assume a 3.2ghz processor could perform, because everyone says it's a great new technology. So both are gonna be unbelievable machines, and I can't wait to see a character on a game and not be able to tell if it's a real movie theatre movie or the game. A zombie game on the 360 already looks pretty realistic zoomed out (not up close, then you see xbox graphics). I'm kind of angry that no one is making a game that can push the power of the 360 yet, I mean all these games are very, very slightly graphically enhanced versions of older games for the last xbox. I hope developers and artists will get skilled enough and learn how to use the new technology enough to within a year, get a game that looks like a movie. I mean the PS2 made cars pretty hard to tell they were fake (GT3 only), and that has less than 1/10 the power of the new systems. I'm not gonna buy a launch game until people figure out how to develop on the new systems. I mean 1,000's of people on-screen at a time is cool, but it's been done before, now there's just more people. Now get 1,000's of real looking people on screen, moving realistically at the same time, and I'll be impressed

I love fanboys... they make me laugh...

heres what I am going to do... I am going to buy them both, and decide which I like best... after I know for sure... im not going to defend the next one because I am a fanboyish douchebag... personally I found the graphics best on the gamecube... thanks to ATI. The games were more geared towards big titles, and RPG/ACTION games on the PS2, and the games were more geared towards sports, action/arcade, more towards older guys on the XBOX...

so go ahead you fanboys... and haters... flame on

I'm assuming that was towards SteveOsupreme, but still, everyone knows that people get annoyed by other people saying one's better, no need to kuss them out about it.
