First off i own an xbox 360 so i may be biased but i do also own a psp and ps2. Everyone is complaining about these bugs and glitches on the 360 but Microsoft are being very co operative, replacing systems and what not. The systems which are being made now are glitch free and Microsoft last week brought out a new update which ironed out software glitches and generally improved the software. The ps3 may be powerful enough to work pi to 100000000 decimal places or in gaming case, provide lifelike graphics but who says that game developers are going to design games with lifelike graphics and use all that processor speed, maybe some will but how much will that game cost if current gen games are £35-£40 360 games are £50-£60 a game which is such a development on 360 and current gen games will take much more time, resources and money to make so a ps3 game which is this new big thing in theory should be £60-£80. In my opinion the ps3, graphics wise will be the same as 360 and the same features wise baring motion controllers if they are used.

Though they will have the same graphics initially, I think the 360 will be crippled in the long run with Microsoft's choice not to use Blu-ray or HD-DVD technology. The PS3 thus has more capability of outputting better games in the long run.

Well how about the fact that the cell processor is seriously screwed?

Read an article here

Or how about this bombshell:



Look closely at Local Memory read and as Sony put it "no, this isn't a typo..." Oh dear!

And as for Sony's controller having motion tracking - woopie. It's a novelty that could be easily replicated by other consoles, shown exactly by the fact that Sony ripped it off Nintendo.

Personally I'd wait for the PS3 to come out before judging... but given that games keep improving as the years go buy... the 360 will be at an disadvantage EVENTUALLY since it isn't using blue ray discs - and from I hear FFXIII will be on the PS3 exclusively because it requires the space of a blue ray disc (now this may be a marketing strategy for the ps3)... but EVENTUALLY the 360 will be at a downfall... don't think it'll be soon or anything

First of all, the PS3 does not use HD-DVD, it uses blu ray, which is a sony proprieatary format. All sony formats in history have failed to get popular support. Second, it isnt that hard to make motion controllers for xbox if anyone really wants it(personally, I think it is just another one of sony's gimmicks. But I do admit that motion controllers would be cool on the Wii, which has games like mario). And Third, the X360 can match up with any thing the PS3 can do, even the E3 shots show it. All of your arguments are just the words of a PS fanboi. Do some research before you say something foolish and make your self look stupid.

I've played on a 360, and was impressed by how much better the graphics are; however, I can not wait until the PS3 comes out. I've heard so many rumors about different features and things that will be on it, and to tell you the truth, it has all gotten me excited. I've seen videos from E3 and have read numerous articles on it, and specifics-wise, I feel the PS3 will have a slight edge over the 360. That is just my opinion though. We will just have to wait and see abou that with the launch of the PS3.

Well for me it all depends on which games you are into.
I myself have Xbox360 and all of its games out but for me Xbox has games that Play Station 3 wont have and vice versa. Play Station 3 will have it Racing games and Final Fantasy games and others like Tony Hawk. Xbox 360 has its Halo games and others so for me I will be getting PS3 also. Each console that will ever be made will not always have the same games on the other consoles so if you like both sets of games for each console get both.

Since Sony has taken a turn into releasing their new system they have a big advantage on releasing there console with games since they already can see how Xbox 360 has there games.

But microsoft ARE bringing out a hd dvd drive which will be used for games in the futre, i think one of the main reasons that microsoft didnt go with hd dvd in the first place is because they didnt want to do a sony and run into problems, i think it was a wise decision, they had issues with the console using normal cds but imagine the kind of problems which would arise in regard to using a new format aswell.

Yeah that is also my thinking. I play Socom and NBA Live right now on PS2, and Halo sometimes on XBOX. If the games were to be on the opposite consoles, they wouldn't be the same. My thought is that XBOX could not reproduce the Socom style of game, and Playstation could definitely not reproduce Halo. Live, however, is on both systems.

So, in other words, yes both systems will have their positives and negatives, but what makes a system a success is the the quality of its games.

I know so they are both the best in different ways and that is how it will always be while competing. Doesn't bother me gives me a chance to trying out new controls and styles of more consoles for I don't get stuck using the same one if it had all the games. Brings more fun into the gaming world I think.
