Which is better? (Xbox 360 or PS3)

[842.001]

I have wondered which is better of the two. Is it the 360 or PS3?

Vote please and tell me the title of games on the console you like the most with its genre.

My thoughts exactly. Plus you can get all of the orignal Nintendo games.

I'm with Joe, Wii all the way.
By the way, there are already a few console war/next gen gaming threads around, just for reference...

Searching is always fun.

X-Box 360 for various reasons.

X-Box Live will always > Playstation Online

400 dollars versus 600 dollars

Some games appeal to me more, and Assassin's Creed, the game that would almost force me to get PS3, will also be released on the X-Box 360!

Although, I am a Final Fantasy fanboy, so at some point when FFXIII comes out (which could be years from now) I'll find a way to pay for a PS3 long after a price drop or two rolls around.

How 'bout 250$ for the Wii and the single most anticipated LOZ game as a launch title?

Sounds like a good deal to me ^_^

i do like a good x-box (it usually has better games)

but PS2 anyway rather than PS3 has ddr... and ddr is l33t

however ddr for the computer is the best, but its hard to get adaptors for

ddr is hard to get adaptors for? Try Red Octane you can get cheap, or high end matts for anything, I have a usb/gamecube/xbox/ps2 adaptor. Which leads me to think one more thing, how about a DDR robot

Anyway, back to the debate,
1) Wii
2) 360
3) PSwhere?

at the rate sony is heading, it won't be long before my younger brother asks what a playstation was.

[Kaizer007]

Well, because the Wii and the Playstation 3 haven't even come out yet, it is hard to rate what is better, but I do love the controller and wireless sensitivity that the X-Box 360 has.
Wii looks interesting, but I am a lazy gamer and would have some getting used to with having to move a lot with many of their up coming potential games.
PS3 I could play Final Fantasy games on, and that would be fun, but overall, my computer can run emulators.

I would have to say X-Box 360. Halo 3 baby!

[Alex Cormier]

PS3 is crap and always be crap.

$600 firstly starts it off as an under dog.
Wii allows just about every cd game that Nintendo has made. also some other goodies. i can't wait to wait in line for 7+ ours to get my hands on a Wii next month.

and i also have a 360 and i love it too!

[Dan Petrovic]

Every time I turn around, PS3 just looks worse and worse.

Sony got sued by DualShock for using it in their controllers without permission, now this is no more DualShock.
I can't imagine that the gyroscope in the PS3 will used much.
$600 dollars? Please.
And then there's the rumor about encoding each game with something so that one game can be played on one PS3, completely throwing out the option of renting and borrowing games, which is what I live for!
And another rumor about how the PS3 would be like a computer and you'd have to update it every once in a while.

Yeah...

[tony.dalia.195]

well u forgot the best one.....THE WII (stupid name) well beside that i would chooese the ps3 next and xbox last just like lat gen, but im also a hardcore pc gamer

I don't necessarily agree... Lets try to put biases behind us and look at the facts.

Processing:
Xbox 360 has 3 symmetrical IBM processors, each running at or 3.2 ghz.
PS3 has a total of 7 "cell" processors running at 3.2ghz.

System Floating Point Performance:
Xbox 360: 1 teraflop
Play station 3: 2 TFLOPS

Memory bandwidth:
Xbox 360: 22.4 Gb/s
Play station 3: 25.6 Gb/s

Disk Type:
Xbox 360: DVD and fully backwards compatible
Play station 3: Blue ray and fully backwards compatible (allows for more complexed games than can fit on DVD)

I/O
Xbox:
• Support for up to four wireless game controllers
• Three USB 2.0 ports
• Two memory unit slots
• Wi-Fi ready: 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g
Play station:
Support for up to 7 blue tooth controllers
USB: Front x 4, Rear x 2 (USB2.0)
Memory Stick: standard/Duo, PRO x 1
SD: standard/mini x 1
CompactFlash: (Type I, II) x 1
Wi-Fi: IEEE 802.11 b/g

GPU:

Xbox: Core 500MHz
Ps3: Core 550MHz

So if you look at the published specs, the Play station has far more potential as a game system... But I will believe the specs when I see the system myself. I believe, however that the play station 3 will out perform the xbox360, and that Sony will do a far better job than Microsoft did with distribution and product quality. We'll just have to wait 'till November 17th to see...

I don't follow gaming much (Mac user without a TV, what can I say?), but this came across my newsreader and just took the cake:

Sony claims Xbox 360 requires HD DVD, etc., thus costs $700

I mean, it's a fact sheet so it must be true!

(If I had the kind of money required for a next-gen system, I'd get an NES and an N64 and throw the rest in the bank. Gameplay over graphics, man.)
