Xbox 360 or the ps3??
Answers: Wii is just not flawless enough for the PS3 and Xbox. The Wii have horrible graphics so I won’t even include it into this argument.
This is the end of adjectives arguments for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Note that I am not a fanboy and have played both consoles and by far the Playstation 3 have longevity than the Xbox 360. These are facts and I have numerous sources. Why is this answer long? It refute everything that Xbox 360 owners say something like the Playstation 3.
Company:
Microsoft is a company which experiences are mostly computers not games. Windows Vista is a disaster and 50% of people switch hindmost to Windows XP. Microsoft never answered people's problems, this is why people turn to Mac. When Microsoft hear about their Red Ring of Death, they didn't fix it, instead updated the warranty.
Sony's first Playstation be a success, so they know their area with this. Their smart and reliable and other help their customers when they obligation too. When Playstation 2 had a lens error, it be Sony who provided how to clean your Playstation 2 near a cotton swab and alcohol, not someone else.
Price:
Look at the bigger picture. With the Playstation 3 you are getting a Blu-Ray DVD player which like $300 on the flea market for the cheapest one. Playstation 3 most expensive model cost $600 bucks. Xbox 360 most expensive model cost $450 bucks. Let's say Microsoft don't come out for another console for 5 years so let add their $50 subscription duty to play Xbox Live. That's $250 dollars + $450 dollars for a Xbox 360 in 5 years minus the games. So you are paying more than the Playstation 3 merely to use it's features. Features that should have be granted to you when you spent the $450 bucks for their console.
Problems:
Playstation 3 had a slight bug problem (3% surrounded by consoles worldwide) but was fixed right away next to re-releases of the consoles. People complained about their Sixaxis controller not have rumble technology so Sony has worked on Dualshock 3, which will be coming out contained by Spring 2008. They actually listen when someone complains.
Xbox 360 currently have a major hardware problem that only Microsoft can fix. This is a problem within 33% of their consoles in the United States (1 out of 3). Even surrounded by their new consoles, these problems still go on. Microsoft has offered to fix it for free and extended their warranty. The problem is it take 6 weeks to get your Xbox 360 subsidise and it could get stolen surrounded by the mail and you won't attain reimbursed. In fact Xbox 360 is number 1 contained by the top ten bad electronics within 2007. Everyone I know is on their second console. If only Microsoft would make clear to local Gamestops how to fix the problem, but they don't have the best interest surrounded by gamers in mind.
Games:
Xbox 360 have better games than the Ps3 now, but by the call a halt of 2008, the Playstation 3 will have means of access more better games. How do I know? E3 2007 graded every console. Wii get a C- because they talked something like their success. Xbox 360 get a C because they talk more or less their games in 2007 such as Halo and BioShock. The Ps3 get a B- because their longevity is noticed and their games surrounded by 2008 will be the best out of the 3 consoles.
Xbox 360 has have a head start for a year and their games are slightly better than Ps3. Their top 3 games: Halo 3, Gears of War, and Bioshock are adjectives First Person Shooters. They don't have a mix array of games. Microsoft dishes deeply of cash to the developers to maintain games exclusive.
The best games for the Xbox 360 has come and gone. So you detail me you're going to sit there and hang around 2-3 years for Halo 4.
Well right now there's Resistance, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Ratchet and Clank, Virtua Fighter 5, Heavenly Sword, Stranglehold, Assassin's Creed, Virtua Tennis 3, Folklore, Uncharted, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, Guitar Hero 3, Singstar and Call of Duty 4. Some games are for the Xbox 360 as okay.
Upcoming exclusive games for the PS3 are Killzone 2, Haze, Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Afrika, Motorstorm 2, Wipeout, Yakuza 3, LittleBigPlanet, Infamous, White Knight Chronicles, Disgaea 3, The Getaway 3, Heavy Rain, SOCOM: Confrontation, Wardevil, LA Noire, Tekken 6 and God of War 3 will all be coming out as PS3 exclusives. Also the author of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus is making his next winter sport exclusively on PS3.
Thats like 15 exclusives next to high 9.0 reviews from Gamespot & GameInformer. Most of these games cart over a month to complete so you won't be putting the Ps3 down for quite some time in a minute.
Developers had 2 years to dish out games for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 is not far bringing up the rear.
Online:
Xbox 360 online is better because more people since it come out a year earlier than the Ps3. When Ps3 introduces Home, the online community will become more connected and better.
In closing, you can't turn wrong with the Playstation 3. Playstation 1 and 2 be major hits and the Playstation 3 will follow. Getting a Xbox 360 is approaching having a Daweoo, a pretty dumb view.
Who are you going to choose? The 2 time back to wager on winner of the console war or the sophomore that came put money on unprepared for a rematch (When I mean unprepared I parsimonious buggy [like the ring of death])
This is my cut and paste answer. The source for that is because a tech info is a tech info, you can't pulse it (sources below). Also this question is so repeatedly!
PS3 will win the console war, without question. Xbox 360 and Wii are so weak from scientific point of view, that surrounded by couple of years they won't be capable of dealing next to serious graphics. GTA IV, for instance, isn't even announced for Wii - this toy won't be able to cope near the game's requirements. Xbox 360 is getting GTA IV, however, the game is going to be released on several DVDs - Xbox 360 owners will enjoy to interrupt gaming process and switch discs (Rockstar complained about this issue). Only PS3 will enjoy it on single BD-DVD.
Let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:
o 1). A third of XBOX 360 (33%) are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 0.2%. Despite some ethnic group say, that investigational 360 has no breakdown issues - only visit Xbox piece of CEQnA.com and see for yourself an amount of complaints.
o 2). PS3 has 8 (7+1) kernel in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3.
o 3). PS3 uses advanced tech call Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 54 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual cloak DVD-9 (8.5GB). It's possible to get HD-DVD (max. - 30GB) for 360, but it'll cost you around 180$, within this case Xbox is going to be MUCH more expensive, than PS3.
o 4). Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
o 5). PS3 have full media support - USBs, built-in 4 slots card reader (except 20GB and 40GB versions), flair to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and simply 2 memory slots.
o 6). PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
o 7). PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $
o 8). From the first technical verbs - graphics are stronger in 360 (it have a stronger graphics chip - Xenos), BUT PS3 can use it's Cell CPU for graphics too, which gives you better graphics within total. PS3 uses a weaker RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. RSX runs on 550 Mhz. It's difficult to compare their graphics, because 360 have a video chip with totally different structure and operating memory is divided differently surrounded by both consoles. Xbox isn't that versatile surrounded by dividing tasks between CPU and GPU as PS3. That's why PS3 exclusives look better than 360's exclusives.
o 9). PS3 uses technology from AGEIA company. It does to physics of the game same entity GPU (videocard processor) does to graphics. This thing is on public sale for PC(special card). The price is around 350$. There is no such thing surrounded by 360.
o 10). Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of death" problem - it get overheated easily. My PS3 be running for more than 15 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 become so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it. That's why within some countries people beckon Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".
o 11). Besides all of this, I've see disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is an uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it be a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they bring in everything worse - original system is good), etc.
o 12). In 2008 PS3 will go and get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4, The Agent and other great exclusives. Here is the good interconnect to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html......
o 13). PS3 online is free, Xbox 360 - you own to pay.
o 14). There be reports, that 360 scratches discs. No reports on that surrounded by PS3.
o 15). The funniest thing, that right in a minute there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console. Biggest games weigh one and only 25 GB (Xbox 360 will need more than 3 discs even for those).
o 16). On PS3 you can install other OS, such as Linux Yellow Dog, Ubuntu and others. Sony properly lets you do it. There is no such item in 360.
o 17). PS3 HDD can be replaced well with any 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM HDD (used within laptops). 250 GB will cost you around 170$. In 360 you have to buy exclusive HDD, where on earth 20GB will cost you 100$.
o 18).Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least possible, 7-10 years. Also Sony reduces price immediately. There is a cheaper 40GB version of PS3.
o 19).Sony constantly upgrades PS3 software (free updates for OS) - you return with new functions and improvements.
o 20). PS3 controller (sixaxis) have a motion control - you move controller - game responds. Wii have it, Xbox 360 - doesn't. PS3 is getting rumble controller (Dualshock 3) in 1st quarter 2008, Japan already have it. On www.ebay.com I saw those controllers on sale 50$ and up (unofficial import)
21).On PS3 you can minister to sick people by running Folding Home project. Wii and Xbox 360 didn't even deduce about it.
o 22).New 40GB is 399$ or 399 euro (depends on the region) - it have no backwards compatibility with PS2 games, have 2 USBs instead of 4, no built-in card reader, but it's the same PS3, strong, reliable, smaller amount noisy, different cooling system. The price is friendly.
o 23). But, to be a short time ago, I'm not a PS3 fanboy, so (despite I own one) hear this - PS3 games (exclusives) are very unyielding to develop due to complicated Cell's architecture. We have to hang about till developers will figure out how to develop games properly. Sometimes multiplatform games run not so pious on PS3 due to the same developing issues - it's not easy for developers to get a grip on such advanced technology.
I didn't mention Wii, because it's so weak, no point to communicate about it. Leave it for kindergarten and blasé games.
The PS3 is obviously the King of Consoles.
