PS3 vs xbox 360

[NicekillBG]

.... is there any graphics difference?

[Guest Philosophy]

Yes, Ps3 is much better. PC destroys both.

xbox vs ps?

 

 

 

 

P-C

What is this? 2008?

im really on a budget but yeah pc for life

to be honest the price performance of a ps3 is real good. especially second hand

[werto165]

cross platform games usually xbox 360 will look better, but if it's a playstation exclusive it looks better. 

[SSOB]

XBOX360, only for the exclusives. Maybe PS3 For performance and LBP or GT5.

 

But as always: 

[creativename]

On its own, PS3 has better graphics, But I've heard that xbox 360 can look better with a 50gb HDD download(don't quote me on this)

Graphics wise PS3 is better. I would probably personally get a 360 just because I used to love halo multiplayer.

 

Freaking custom games on forge ftw.

 

But I think that is mostly dead.

PS3

And not having to pay $60 yearly is a nice plus.

tell me the budget, I'll throw your way a build that owns a ps3.

[othertomperson]

Objectively the PS3 had better hardware, but its exotic architecture meant that it often got horrendously bad ports making the 360 better for a lot of cross-platform games.

[VMaxMuffin]

Personally PS3 because I prefer the Playstation controller and I love the Ratchet and Clank games.

i want to play with a friend whio has ps3 and i dont have to pay money for that(an account) 

[79wjd]

and I love the Ratchet and Clank games.

Literally the only thing my PS3 is used for these days

PS3 destroys the Xbox 360.

The CPU is much better, and it has a off the shelf GPU.

Oh, ok. Why ask which is better then?  :huh:

What? Go and buy an RSX gpu then. The CPUs aren't really that comparable since the archetecture is so different, its more like how the devs used it (which isn't that well in most cases).

But, the Xbox used a PowerPC 3 core CPU. So in most cases the PS3 will win, and its GPU is better.

The PS3's CPU is also powerPC. Just comparing cores means nothing. The PS3's cpu has more cores, but none of them except one can access RAM, which makes it difficult to program for. Typically the 360 was easier to program because of this, which made the games run better.

 

Also the GPU in the 360 is faster than the PS3's. A lot of times in PS3 game that look better than 360 games, the CPU is (supposedly) aiding the GPU make the graphics better.

 

Overall, it comes down to if the devs knew how to program that CPU decently.

In regards to first party games the ps3 in regards to graphics beats the 360. The hardware is much more powerful than that of its 360 counterpart. When looking at which first party games are better that is a matter of personal; preference. I own both ps3 and 360 and I preferred the first party titles of the 360. Halo and Forza are my main franchises in the console market and while i did love MGS4 it didn't pull me in and keep me interested like Halo did. LBP, Uncharted, and Killzone didn't really get my attention either. I played of not owned those games and they just were for me. 

 

Now in regards to multiplats then that's where it get's a little bit interesting. Despite the ps3 having the more powerful innards the 360 kept up or surpassed the ps3 in terms of quality fairly regularly. Remember that the ps3 had the cell based architecture that made developing for it a nightmare. While that meant that games made specifically for the ps3 like uncharted or mgs looked amazing, games developed for 360 and pc suffered. It was much easier to develop for the 360 and pc so developers regularly focused on those platforms and didn't take advantage of the increased hardware specs of the ps3 compared to the 360.

because my sister's boyfriend gave me his xbox 360 and the graphics were shit

[HippY]

okay, so here is the quesioner. The more answer you get for a console choose that

 

Which is owned mostly by your friends?

 

Do you prefer the xbox or PS controller?

 

Which consoles exclusives you like better?

 

Can you borrow games from friends for a console?

 

 

If you have an answer then there you go

 

You should not decide each console about its hardware, because if you would care about HW that much, you would buy a PC...

well, don't expect the os3 to be MUCH better, it's just a small improvement
