Why PS3 is Better than Xbox 360

The Sony PS3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360 are the two heavyweights in the video game console market and they both have a lot to offer. But if Buzzle had to pick one amongst the two, the PS3 would definitely get a thumbs up.

[RedDead]

Please GTFO with a headline like this.

After reading the article, I completely agree wih the points mentioned, but it's still flamebait GTFO

[fr0sty]

*waits for obligatory "why 360 is better than PS3" article to follow in 3...2....1....*

I personally think the opinion article should be removed as a submission type.

[Nitrowolf2]

honestly, i think this is to try and counter that article about "5 reasons why you shouldn't buy a PS3" a day or two ago.
It always happens, always works to for the sites on getting hits.
See one opinion article that reaches high degree, then expect another one to be the exact opposite show up later.
Its been like this forever. Yes i think they should be to, most do nothing but flaimbait.
but then again they are opinions (the title) so expect someone else with a different opinion to get angry.

Like i said these type of article just fuel fanboys and cause flaming.

[Pixel_Pusher]

PS3 users remember to clear the dust from the vents of your PS3 at least twice a month. You should use a compressed air canister to do this and not a vacuum cleaner as the static electricity buildup could fry your PS3's motherboard.

Also let it cool down for an hour or so before shutting it down especially if you've been gaming on it for a couple of hours. If you shut it down before then the fans won't be able to properly cool down the CPU/GPU which could eventually lead to YLOD.

[Agent VX]

OMG... What an immature article... and this gets approved??? I wasted 1.07 minutes of my life reading this crap when I can read the exact same crap on the "Comments" sections of N4G???

Hey, I like my PS3, and I like my 360, but this is nothing but goofy silly fanboys crap, and is pathetic. Really people, get a life...

[MaxXAttaxX]

the larger variaty and quality of games and how exclusive games are actually REAL exclusive games.

* Now let's wait for that "Xbox 360 is better" article which will more than likely be misinformed and believe that multiplatform games are proof of its powah, LOL

This article was better
http://revolt-tech.com/arch...
It wasn't so flamebait-ish.

[ShinMaster]

(1) Maybe you should research Blu-ray sales.
DVD is cheaper for a reason and Blockbuster is going down because not many people rent movies in general anymore.
Nothing you can say will justify your DVD over Blu-ray. And all else about LCD tvs have nothing to with the PS3.

(2) Still happened even after the new chips. The new Slims are actually good when it comes to not RRODing.

(3) Uhh ok.

(4) Dude, the PS3 sells faster yearly, period. Like 6 million more within the same amount of time since its launch.
"Graphics and game play belong to the 360 exclusively"???
LOLWUT? GTFO please.

Oh and explain this:
"If your hard core, you have to have a 360 or why even bother"
You're seriously a noob, aren't you!

(5) No. Online gameplay is still entirely FREE. PS Plus is an optional service, but you don't "pay to play".

And what does PSN being free have to do with the Crysis 2 multiplayer beta?
So what happens if I mention Gears of War? Couldn't that be considered proof that XBL is a waste of money?
Yeah, exactly.

(6) Why would he want to talk about Kinect?
You people here defend it to the death only because its an Xbox 360-exclusive device, when in reality the majority of people that actually buy these are don't hang out here. They're the mainstream/casual audience. Just look at the games.

[The_Ultimate_Guy]

Because if you truly like playing games, then you would have the best of both worlds and not just the best of 1 world.

That is "hardcore".

You're only a half ass gamer is you only game on half the HD consoles.

[ShinMaster]

Nope. Having both has nothing to do with how "hardcore" you think you are.

[Soldierone]

Xbox users, remember to not touch your launch console Xbox 360's. Playing them normally in any way can cause a Red Ring of Death. We have known about this fault before we even released the console, but we needed a sales boost.

/sarcastic reply to fanboy above

[gaden_malak]

"PS3 users remember to clear the dust from the vents of your PS3 at least twice a month. You should use a compressed air canister to do this and not a vacuum cleaner as the static electricity buildup could fry your PS3's motherboard.

I have 2 PS3s and never had to do any of that. One is three years old and the other is a year old. Both run fine.

[EcliPS3]

@soldier one
Its funny you say that. My launch PS3 died before my launch 360 and I used it about 1/8 the time. That was back in the day when there was nothing decent to play

[jadenkorri]

man when will this crap ever stop, its so annoying, let the 360 fanboys have their way and downplay the ps3 all they want, someone has to take the first step to stop the craziness.

[MaxXAttaxX]

I play mine a lot. Which keeps the fans working, helping the PS3 vent out.

If you do the same with 360 it will overheat.

[kikizoo]

The problem with all the propaganda, and fanboys lies is people can't separate facts, like this title, and opinion or lies, like the ridiculous "why you should'nt buy ..."

It's a problem when you are lying, when you are giving bad advices to customers, but when you are talking about real things, real advantages, etc it's information, and only dumb people/fanboys transform that into flamebait.

[Silver360]

This is BS it means nothing to hardcore and casuals buys for other reasons.

[upturned2]

correct-a-mundo

ps3 ftw though lol

[malamdra]

it sounds stupid on the title but the points mentioned are exactly right:

-quality of games
-quantity of games
-better graphics
-free online
-more reliable hardware
-blu ray player

this is not rocket science, the PS3 is clearly superior

[rjgbyrne]

Xbox;
-Just as good selection of quality games
-I thinkt he Xbox has a much larger catalogue by long shot
-Debatable if Graphic sare better, Video footage is Blu ray quality but rendered graphic... on par and bettered in multiplat
-I have both, but think Live is miles ahead of anything, including online PC gaming.
-My Xbox and PS3 work fine, I feel safer witht he 3 year warranty MS offer over the 1 year Sony does.
-I use my PS3 for blu-rays and the few exclsuives if don't play on Xbox. This is not a win mate, its insulting to Sony actually.

Its not rocket science, its fact mate. Both are really on par with each other but the Blu ray video being the only advantage. Yet even know after being out so long PS3 sturggles to do better than Xbox is the multiplatform arena, surely superior hardware should perform better!?! I expect PS3 to, but fact is you cannot blame multiplatform developers for getting the most THEY CAN from each machine. As much as I hate this fanboy rubbish I hate it even more when fanboys like you spout of uneducated, ill founded rubbish to try make themselves feel better. Be a real gamer and enjoy the games. I still think my DS is more playable, ha!

[MorningStar]

Quality? Laughable the games are bigger because it does not support DirectX as Microsoft wanted more than Sony could afford. Which is the reason why games HAVE to be installed otherwise that terrible laser would burn out quicker than you could finish the games.

Quantity? There are more Xbox 360 games than PS3. Most games are created for the Xbox 360 then ported to PS3.

Better graphics? You are kidding right? Graphics still look better on an Xbox 360 than PS3. Better resolution as well. More games on Xbox 360 have 1080p support than PS3.

Free online? Yeah sure its FREE meaning you get what you PAID for. Xbox Live is a quality service with a quality MATCHMAKING system while Sony's PSN fails constantly. Oh whats that cross game chat? Yeah we have had that for a long time. Not just that but we also have party chat where more than 2 people can talk. Sony can't get 2 people talking yet.

Reliable hardware? You really need to look into the facts. PS3 has a higher drive fail rate due to them using poor quality materials. Also they have the YLOD which is nearly as bad as the RROD except that Microsoft repair your Xbox 360 for free unlike Sony who charge you for it.

Can't deny you on the Blu-Ray part it is a nice feature of the PS3. However it is nesseceary as like I stated before the PS3 cannot nativly play games it needs to install them to the HDD.

Lets talk about that Sony have sold PS3s with the smallest hard drive being 20gb when they know for a fact that games have to be installed to it. What does that tell you? That they are cutting corners as you would then later on have to go out and buy a new hard drive. People say Sony are great for allowing any 2.5 HDD to be used. There is a REASON for that.

Oh also another reason why PS3 has Blu-Ray is because it came out 2 years after Xbox 360. Microsoft had the choice to put HD-DVD drives into the Xbox 360 however they wanted to meet the Christmas demand and decided to go with DVD. If they waited 3 months they would have had HD-DVD inside the Xbox 360 native instead of an addon.

-----------

Lets point out some things that Xbox 360 has OVER PS3.

- Better controller - This is a fact. Sony tried to create a next gen controller but it was quickly canceled shortly before release because it was hated buy consumers.

- Better online connectivity - Xbox Live that is all that needs to be said.

> Better navigation - Have you tried being in a game and getting a few messages from somebody on PSN? You have to load up the XMB (which is slow) then go to friends - > messages - > inbox -> read message - > O to go back -> repeat from friends tab. On Xbox 360 press the guide button -> Friends -> message - > B to go back -> next message. Very simple and quick. The whole XMB as a in game dash is terrible. 90% of the features you cannot use and it is laggy for the 10% it does allow you to use.

> Free headset / cheap quality headsets - Yeah not every Xbox 360 gets a free headset but you can get them really cheap and they work. Bluetooth is a terrible headset for gaming. The Xbox 360 wired headsets are perfect for gaming. Play the same multiplayer game on both formats and see which game has more people talking in.

[SentryXI]

@MorningStar It must be nice living in your own reality

[adonchris]

ok i believe so to that this article is just a crap.
but...until the last time i checked 9 to 10 of multiplatform versions were better on 360.
free online but with full of problems and after all u still pay for ps+. u will say that ps+ doesn,t matter, but personally i believe that is a cheap method to make money.
... the full pack of an 360 contains all the console cables (hdmi-component-rca-scart) headset and a quaranty of 3 years, and ps3 pack only an rca cable and 1 year guaranty.
and after all whats the hole hipe about ps3's exclusives? i mean infamous uncharted 1 and demon souls are very bad games, and lbp series just good...maybe very good but not so good as an exclusive must be. (there is aout there a mario galaxy and donkey kong u know).

[Soldierone]

LOL @ 360 fanboys that cant even find logical standing grounds to defend their fanboy rage attacks.

Come on guys...morningStar dont bother since you already failed epicly, it made me laugh.

However thats why these opinion peices should stay on N4G. They start pretty amuzing comment wars.

[gaden_malak]

"Its not rocket science, its fact mate."

It's opinion moron.

[malandra]

@MorningStar

it really seems like you don't know what you're talking about

-when you write that the PS3 came out 2 years after 360 and that's why it has blu ray that automatically makes anything else you write irrelevant, PS3 was released a year after the 360 and blu ray was developed by Sony, you're saying that if MS had had a year more they would have developed a blu ray-like media and included it on the 360? fanboy please

-better graphics, quality and quantity of games refers to full retail exclusives, graphical difference on multiplats are very minor and hard to notice unless you have a 56 inch TV (except on a couple of cases like Bayonetta, the rest are pretty much identical)

-it is well documented that the PS3 failure rate is around 15% and 360 has reached 50% on some models

-the actual online play is identical on both consoles, on LIVE you're paying for online but you only get extra features that you don't get on the PS3, this is like saying a DVD with movie and extras for 30 dollars is a better deal than a free one with just the movie, most people just care about the movie

-the controller is a matter of opinion but I find the 360 too heavy and cumbersone, also the bumpers buttons are unreliable

[kikizoo]

Delusional/denial land :

" Graphics and game play belong to the 360 exclusively. It's why the system continues to out sell the PS3 even as recently as February"

"-Just as good selection of quality games
-I thinkt he Xbox has a much larger catalogue by long shot
-Debatable if Graphic sare better, Video footage is Blu ray quality but rendered graphic... on par and bettered in multiplat"

"Quantity? There are more Xbox 360 games than PS3. Most games are created for the Xbox 360 then ported to PS3.

Better graphics? You are kidding right? Graphics still look better on an Xbox 360 than PS3. Better resolution as well. More games on Xbox 360 have 1080p support than PS3. "

LOL, are you real guys, living in the opposite world of dreamland, or just ms eemployees paid to lie ? it's ridiculous to lies about thing every can check : more 1080 game ? ps3, better graphics ? every single dev, gamers and journalist knows uncharted, gow, killzone, etc, more games ? lol, multi are for both, and ps3 have more exclusives each years, so stop lying to yourself (and yes, even with kinect last years, ps3 sold 2 millions more than xbox)

Oh, ok i see, more than 10 new troll liars multi account here (like the one jumping on every crysis 2 articles :)) sad.

[Redlogic]

Seriously, where do people find these articles?? I mean I use my ps3 way more than my 360 but I didn't like that article at all. It just seems like a list of talking points for a ps3 fanboi.

[Bebedora]

"Seriously, where do people find these articles??"

Sounded sincere and amusing at that!

[farhad2k8]

Many reasons.
PS3 is simply a better machine, 360 has a bigger audience due to the US. In any other country, the PS3 dominates.

P.s. the title is flamebait material! WTF?

[Jazz4108]

This is purely an opinion piece and does not belong on gaming news. I own both machines and yes I like one better but that does not mean it belongs on the front page of n4g. This is why this site n4g has issues because these pieces of trash articles bring out the trolls in a lot of neutral gamers and they or nothinh but opinion as both machines are weel off and doing well and have strengths and weaknesses.

[Blaze929]

Always bloodmask submitting this shit....

[Redlogic]

We all know Bloodmask hates Ps3 fans, so he submits this garbage article to feed the "stereotype" that ps3 games are the worst fanboys.

[Christopher]

You would think that people would have gotten sick and tired of making titles like this by now.

***The Xbox 360 is also known to create an annoyingly loud noise when it is used for long hours, and this along with its overheating problem makes it quite unstable. The PS3 has no such issues that are anything but ordinary.***

Don't know about PS3 Slims, but I do know that older models do have a increased chance of YLOD due to heat. Had one of my 80GBs bit the dust and I didn't overuse it. It's not as bad as early day RROD, but it's much higher than the 2% desired failure rate that hardware manufacturers look for.

***The graphics of the PS3 are far better than the Xbox 360***

Highly subjective and I think it has a ton more to do with the developers behind the wheel. I firmly believe that if developers like Naughty Dog were developing for just the 360 we would be seeing some of the most remarkable games out there on said platform.

What I would say is that there's no way you could claim that the PS3 is not just as good at graphics as the 360, though it does take more work to usually get it to a level where it shines compared to the 360.

[kikizoo]

It's not subjective, it's a fact, and your thought about naughty dog on 360 are just assumptions (bad ones, since the cpu and driver for texture streaming can't handle that kind of games)

[BubbleSniper]

"What Makes PS3 Better than Xbox 360?"
that could be better title but N4G don't allow question mark or exclamation !!! lol

that understandable tho

[TheLastGuardian]

Come on. I got marked as trolling for saying What's an Xbox 360? It was a fucking joke. If you guys don't want trolling on your website why don't you take down this article. N4G thrives on flame bait and trolls. We should get bubbled up for successful trolling.

[Redlogic]

@LastGuardian

Whats a jeeber?

(Pineapple Express Rules!!)

[shuuwai]

this is article is sooooo "2008"

next weeks article

"how move is better than kinects"

and after that ...

"why xbox live is better than psn"

and etc ...

this is so lame.

[Otheros00]

We already have all of those articles. If you want to read them use the search button.

[damnyouretall]

i own both consoles and im happier than a pig in shit

[renegade]

Article #100 about "why this game console is better than this game console" ARHH .

[Focker420]

Both have their worth

[Prcko]

best console evah!!!!

[yen888]

OMG its such a pointless argument, one console is better at some things while the other is better at something else

[Just_The_Truth]

in terms of software, games and online it is constantly swapping but in terms of hardware the ps3 is future proof bluray alone extends it's life greatly due to size and if Ms is too prideful to ask for bluray then they're finished nextgen

[palaeomerus]

Yeah it's so future proof it's way behind three year old PC's. Good one. Consoles are NEVER future proof. For most of their cycle consoles are the budget option.

[Soldierone]

Really your using PC as future proof? You can go buy a top of the line PC right this very second and it will be dated by April next year. Thats so future proof.....

Meanwhile PS3 will be getting better and still be on the market for the next 3 years minimum.

[Errod88]

FANNBOYISH end of story.

[Just_The_Truth]

i agree you forgot to mention the fact that you can upgrade you hard drive use any laptop size hdd up to 1TB! Also that you don't need any special cords to charge controllers USB everything saves time and money and with the internet you can download movies and music directly to the hard drive(not saying from where though:] ). Playstation + is also beyond worth the $50 i've gotten over 30 great minis and psn games for free and 4 betas so far plus cloud and automatic downloading whereas with xbox for $60 you mainly just get online you can also connect your psp to the ps3 and stream movies and music from any where. I wish people took the time to learn about these features and to play the exclusives like infamous and demon souls before writing the ps3 off.

[elpresador]

Seriously dude u r not getting psn games for free cause u still have to pay for psn plus. I mean ir u didnt pay u wouldnt u get them so u really are paying for those "free@ games.

think of it like a sub to sports illistrated. When u pay for a year sub they will say u gwt like a snuggie with ur fave team on it or any number of crap for free but u are still paying for it since u coukdnt get it without buying q sub.

See what i am getting at? As the saying goes there iw no such thing as a free lunch.

[TheOldOne]

Flamebait or not, it is simple and clear: PS3 is better than Xbox 360.

[HungPHATx]

For sure ! If the shoe was on the foot and Sony had 2-4 exclusives a year and standard DVD9 drive , then I could agree the 360 is the better choice , 360 was designed for 4-5 years not any longer that and the PS3 was designed for 10 years and is why the PS3 somewhat future proof console is starting to shine and we still 5 years to go of more and more exclusives that we haven't seen......loved my 360 for years but 4 RROD's ,
2 E7 disk errors , lack of Ground breaking exclusives I'm done till there next system

[Troll_Police]

Smart man.

[Boody-Bandit]

Agreed.
Like the latest commercials for Kinect. Xbox play, Xbox pause, Xbox rewind. How about Xbox, WhereTF are the GAMES?!?!?!

Seriously. 2 exclusives this year that we know of and we are fast approaching E3 with no news of new titles. In this day and age if there were some on the way there would be leaks as to what they might be. Nobody can keep a secret anymore and more often than not the source is leaked right from the horses mouth.

I can't remember the last time I was surprised by any annoucements from E3 and I don't think this year will be the exception for MS. The tables have definitely turned. Now all MS talks about is Kinect and sales (NA sales).

[xstation79]

Thats your opinion. My opinion is the xbox 360 is better than the ps3

Edit at disagrees: I guess other people know my opinion better than me

[jimbone79]

No, you are just on the wrong site to voice that opinion and expect agrees. If you're going to be pro-360 on this site you might as well stop caring about the whole agree/disagree thing.

[Just_The_Truth]

Can i ask why and if you own a ps3?

[winflasher0]

If you can't justify your opinion then don't say it. Simple as that

[goku32359]

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, so idk why u got all those disagrees

[guigsy]

Just shows how hypocritical people are on this website. Everyone was bashing the "why you shouldn't buy a PS3 article" for being flamebait, and yet a much worse article like this is praised for raising valuable points. Just shows that flamebait has nothing to do with it, it depends on the console being critiqued and how it fares with the fanboy majority.

[Aarix]

Yea okay fanboy

[tigertron]

God, what is it with these articles on N4G recently? I don't care!

Is it really neccessary to post these articles?

[CaptainGreece]

Sony Bluetooth headset should be a point. That thing is awesome every Ps3 owner should get that headset.

[lugia 4000]

And its gonna start.
Oh wait... let me start.
360 is better.

[Jocosta]

Can we all agree, (on both sides) that this is just not interesting anymore?

[Capdastaro]

Honestly, if the PS3 is so amazing, why do I find myself renewing my XBL every year and sticking with the 360 more than my PS3?

Both do the job and both do it well, don't bother me with the exclusives talk, most of my games are multiplat and most of yours are too.

@2v1 I've got 5 more personal friends on PSN than XBL

[byeGollum]

lol you hit the nail on the head..

most people's favorite games are multiplatform, you either play where your friends are, or go with your preference...

[palaeomerus]

Hell yeah! This is how I see it too.

[dead_eye]

I have to disagree with you. Most of the games I'm buying this year are exclusives. I can only think of portal 2 and LA Noire oh and if money allows brink. Everything else I want is exclusive and I still hope some get pushed back to 2012 as theres to many for me to buy.

[byeGollum]

@dead_eye

I said, "most people's favorite games are multiplatform"

Emphasis on "most", I didn't say all. Personally some of my favorite games are exclusive, for example infamous.

[dead_eye]

Sorry Gollum my reply was more for Capdastaro.

[gaden_malak]

"Honestly, if the PS3 is so amazing, why do I find myself renewing my XBL every year and sticking with the 360 more than my PS3?

Both do the job and both do it well, don't bother me with the exclusives talk, most of my games are multiplat and most of yours are too.

@2v1 I've got 5 more personal friends on PSN than XBL"

What? That doesn't prove anything other than your preference.

I play my PS3 over my XBOX and have more friends on PSN than 360, does that mean the PS3 is the best console ever simply because of those facts?

Sheesh, this place is an intelligence wasteland.

[DaBadGuy]

It never ends. Ah....okay here's my standard spiel in generalities because I'm sick of having to say it.

I own both consoles. I love both consoles. One of them does this which I like and the other does this which I like while this one does that and this one does this which I don't like but overall I like both.

There, everyone's happy. Write real articles that are worth reading.

[TomInc]

Seriously? Still? There are people who like PS3 and others who like Xbox.. is there really need to slam the people who like what you don't as being wrong?

[2v1]

@Capdastar mayb bcause you like to pay for your friends list

[WetN00dle69]

The one that created this article seems to have lots of time in his hands.

[Nes_Daze]

HipHopGamer needs to teach this guy how to make fanboy-war-provoking titles. lol

[Firstkn1ghT]

I'll bite just for fun...

TOP 3:

Xbox Live easily beats PSN. Xbox Live destroys PSN in features and quality. PSN has crap online security which leads to massive cheating. Black OPS for example.

Xbox 360 is the home for the best exclusive franchises according to universal reviews; Halo Reach best FPS & Forza 3 best vehicle sim/racer & Gears of War franchise best TPS. Only game ps3 beats the 360 in exclusives is best game with dolls in LBP.

And most important, multiplatfrom games that make about 95% of a console's gaming library is still better on the 360. Big AAA titles like Red Dead, Black OPS, Crysis 2 are good examples of this.

:)

[initial_kay]

last i checkd.. ther are way more hackers and cheaters on the xbox. just sayn...

[strawberry9]

lol where did you "check"?

I'm not sure if you realize Sony is in big trouble due to the jailbreak stuff that is going down. People that mod their xbox's are usually banned, so they don not affect the experience of others. I do not see the same with the PSN.

[winflasher0]

@strawberry9

"I'm not sure if you realize Sony is in big trouble due to the jailbreak stuff that is going down."

That proves you don't know what you're talking about.

[Persistantthug]

I submit to you, that other than CALL OF DUTY games, you have NEVER seen any cheat hacks with your own eyes.....Not a single 1, strawberry9.

http://www.youtube.com/watc... <---Click here please.

If you clicked the youtube link, strawberry9, you'll notice the date of that COD hacked game was in early-mid 2009...close to the time I bought my PS3, and well before GEOHOT.

So basically, do you know why you've never seen any games other than Call Of Duty that are cheat-hacked online? Because they don't exist, strawberry9.

[initial_kay]

i was playing xbox @ friends house... black ops and MW2...and i have never seen soo many damn hacks in my life... no where even close to ps3 glitches and hacks.... seriously.. a rainbow gun shooting huge ass bullets...is that even possible?

[winflasher0]

You don't mention reliability(PS3 wins), exclusives(PS3 destroys), you forget to mention blu ray. Blu Ray discs are more durable, more spacious, offer better video and audio quality too. The PS3 hard drives are WAY cheaper. You can get a 500GB hard drive for the ps3 at less than $100. However for the 360, a 250Gb hard drive is a lot more than that. Stop living in your own world and get out more.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Hmmm. This is is gonna go on forever. But I have to sate the obvious. The things he mentioned have been mentioned over a million times already. we get it Sony believes this is what makes up what PS3 and Microsoft believes this what makes up an Xbox. Its what you want out of a console. But Microsoft is doing something right? Why can't Sony Outsell the Xbox? I'm not trying to sound like a fanboy or anything. But If the PS3 is so much better how come its not outselling xbox? I'm talking to the Aurthur specifically.

[byeGollum]

sites post garbage like this on N4G, cause they know you people are gullible, plus they will get easy hits lol..

my question is, are you not bored of this? Its been going on for years now

[yen888]

This is so obviously flamebait, the same user has an article going through pending which is called "Why Xbox is better than PS3"

[JusenkyoGuide]

i prefer my ps3 over my 360, but this is just asking for trouble. oh well it happened with the 360 so it's gonna happen with the ps3. I'll just sit back and laugh.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

I know I'm bored of it.

[DelbertGrady]

Explains why it's still in third place. If people thought it was better they wouldn't be buying more of the 360.

[MysticStrummer]

Except they aren't buying more of the 360, ever since the PS3 launched, with the exception of a month or two here and there. Math can be a fun and useful skill.

[JusenkyoGuide]

look who brought the article to n4g - bloodmask again -_-

[Sizzon]

Come on N4G!!! Get some real news, oh my god, jesus -_-

[strawberry9]

Why?

Both consoles have clear superiorities over one another. To say one console is better than the other is clear stupidity.

[initial_kay]

to say they are even is clear stupidity.

[strawberry9]

Clearly PS3 has better exclusives, but xbox live has is much better than psn. this is the reason I only purchase exclusives on the ps3, because the online is horrible. Don't be a fanboy

[x5exotic]

in what aspect?games? ps3 has more,better(story,GP)
all genres,better.graphics,better

[strawberry9]

PSN sucks. xbox also has some good exclusives. Don't be a douche

I have both consoles and I'll never say one is better than the other.. there are too many factors that go into saying that. to say that one is better than the other shows nothing but the fact that you're a fanboy.

[initial_kay]

this entire time that ive been reading your post... all i see is you riding ms D....so seriously take your own advice and xboxlive is better then psn?..its the same sh!t.... you can play online ... ive nvr had any issue with psn... if anything they both are the same to me. except xbox is just money hungry.

[x5exotic]

who cares about Online,,,,the game itself comes first,and evenso,there is no big difference,
all xbox exclusives are shooters they have no creativity,
Halo sucks ,GeOW sucks(which btw might come to Ps3 unfortunately)
the only good one was ME2 and its now a Multiplat
alan wake was good but meh not all that >.<

[Raendom]

All points here are true but this is an arguement that never needs to be said. 360 owners bought a 360, ps3 owners bought a ps3. Some people bought both, get games for both. Really doesn't matter at all guys!

[Emilio_Estevez]

Seemed like a flamebait article, but it wasn't that bad. Pretty much agree...Should level it out with an opposite article.

[lelo2play]

As for future exclusives... the PS3 does have the upper hand.

[rlm41]

I'd take Gears 3 over any one of those.

[SLLCKGT]

Funny is without even playing it you have decided that. Sad thing is, as cool as gears was as you xbots say, it was another point your gun and shoot game. You think you're gonna trick intelligent people into 300 bux into a console for a shooter? Gears is good, but seriously, you xbots are hyping something thats the eqivalent to a civic SI.

[orange-skittle]

I love my 360 as well, but Sony does have an impressive lineup. That's why I have both. There's pro's and con's to both, but I find myself defending 360 more because Sony fanboys are ridiculous and have dumbest arguments. It almost disgusts me and makes me want to challenge their stupidity. They used to bring up the RRoD all the time until the PS3's failure rate w/ the YLoD started to happen. Then they would bring up the $50 a year issue until PSN+ came out costing the same as XBL and still has less features. Then they started on the PS3's power in which developers are still having a hard time getting a grasp of. When Carmack said earlier this week that he prefers working on 360 development kits over PS3's...the comment section went ape shit. Even a gaming LEGEND finds it harder to work with the articulate architecture of the PS3. PS3 has to install games while making you lose precious HDD space to conserve the Blue-Ray drive cycle. This can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours depending on the size of the MANDATORY install. So it's a push on both ends. One is not better than the other. I love 'em both.

[MeNoRasta]

I would really like to think that N4G stands for "news for gamers" not fanboys getting pregnant by consoles.

[Aarix]

G stands for god-Alful ps3 Fanboys. I mean killzone 3 is at the top next to the consoles.

[MeNoRasta]

@Aarix

Yea there is alot more ps3 fanboys here..im getting pm's from them every hour or so trying to tell me how ps3 is better.

Its a f@@king joke.

[ForROME]

GTFO with Titles like this - My God

[Supman]

fellow sony army: Don't stoop
down to 360 fanboys level,
you don't NEED to defend you'r console,
now, 360 fanboys do, but....
theres nothin really to defend...

[GigaGaia]

Well, there is no better foot heater then the 360.

[KeiserSosay4788]

Is it wrong that I guessed this would happen solely based on the amount of fanboyism going on in the crysis vs. kz3 articles???

[JonnyBigBoss]

PS3/PC all day, everyday.

[adonchris]

ok this article is full of crap. only to make us post in here like idiots.
but like an idiot i have also something to say too.
yes 360 and ps3 are both good and powerfull "consoles" and either one has flaws.
well the article had fully inform us about 360's flaws but what about ps3's?
1. downloading take too much more time than 360
2. when u shut down the ps3 the download stops but in 360 not.
3. poor conlole pack with only an rca cable in a time where hd rules.
i mean why sony give us an rca with an hd conlsole? well in order to buy an hd.
4. the hole red ring of death is full of crap. the first consoles had these problems but only the first.
5. 1 year guaranty for ps3 and 3 for 360
6. sluppy online.
7. ps+ is jst a way to take something from all the users and give to some that had payed there money. i mean i also have the right to download the infamous 2 theme and play the mortal kombat demo, like ps+owners. i payed too for this console.

[orange-skittle]

360-RRoD
PS3-YLoD

Both happened for the same reason causing them to redesign the systems completely. people think the slims came out because they wanted a sleeker look, but have no idea that it was because it was hardware malfunctions in both systems(fans, thermowrap). The increase in HDD wasnt because they wanted to give you more storage, it was because they had no choice. They are not making small storage HDD's any longer, so they had to increase the capacity.

Sony knew about their problem with the PS3 and still charged customers $150 to fix it while MS extended their warranty for their customers. Sony wasnt in the position to put out a 1 billion dollar warranty program since they were already taking it in the ass with every system sold. Trust me fanboys, STOCK BROKERS DONT LIKE TO HEAR WARRANTY. They said "dont ask/dont tell"

[Masterchef2007]

I would reccomend the PS3 to any core gamer. As for the casuals i would say that the Wii or Kinect is probably the best choice for them.

[rapidturtle]

My console is better dan your console Nah nah nah nah!!!!!!!

[TBONEJF]

Too me in my opinion only CHOOSE PS3 cause #1 Better HARDWARE, #2 GREAT EXCLUSIVE TITLES, #3 of course BLU-RAY HIGH DEFINITION, #4 upgradable hard drive. Those are my reasons why I choose PS3 OVER XBOX 360.

[Aarix]

If anyone believes one console is better than the other they are fucking high.

[Xander756]

Look at all those flamebait reports. Does anybody that comes here actually know the difference between flamebait and a differing opinion?

[maikel19]

this writer is a N O O B!
this is the kind of stuff i used to ear 2 years ago...didnt you find something new?
BTY! XBOX360 slim and PSN+!
FACEPALM !$### XDXDXDXDXD

[rlm41]

Typical N4G headline.. Trying to make insecure fanboys feel happy about their purchase.

[taylork37]

I do like how everyone calls out it out for being flame bait, but make it a point to say that they agree with the article.

Good work N4G majority (aka PS3 tools)

[Bonerboy]

Word.
People are idiots and the vast majority should be sterilized at birth.

[Tilian]

I prefer the PS3 myself, but this shit has got to stop. Even NeoGaf (which I recently joined hoping for cleaner discussion) is infected with fanboys and the console war.

The only sanctuary from this endless bullshit I can really find anymore is Gamasutra.

[eARThRiot]

exclusives, exclusives, exclusives...... what else?

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Articles like this shouldn't be made. PS3 and Xbox 360 are both great consoles with their own advantages and disadvantages.

3)I don't own an Xbox 360 Slim but I'm pretty sure the noise is reduced. So that isn't a plus for PS3.
4) idk about that. We have all seen that Xbox can pull of some amazing graphics in comparison to PS3.
5)The author kind of went against his/her own point.

Anyways, everyone has their own opinion. I'm expecting another article on "Why 360 is Better than PS3".

[orange-skittle]

Funny seeing this article here because I am only on here @11:30pm because I am waiting 30 minutes while Dead Space 2 installs before I CAN EVEN PLAY THE FUCKIN' GAME! Guess which system I own. I'll be asleep before the install

[Bonerboy]

Why Xbox fanboys are better than PS3 fanboys.

Why a meat poo is better than a milk poo.

Why buttered toast is better than dry toast.

Why Royal is better than Charmin.

Why this article is shit.....

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Yet another stupid fanboy flamebait article! Good Lord how insecure are these "journalists" that write this crap. Seriously...360 better than PS3, PS3 better than 360...Wii is inferior... its just all such a load of insecure crap. N4G at its finest.

[Haseo106]

It is a FACT. But dumb-asses just can't accept it.
=> Xbox360 fan-boys will reply to this comment. WATCH!

[tony6767]

why? because ps3 have more exclusives nough said

[Jonah_Reese]

Oh My God Again with these?

[Rageaholic]

simple answer

1) more exclusives
2) most of the xbox games can also be found on the PS3
3) the price is so close to each other now it just justifies points 1 and 2 more.

[Bonerboy]

....but I thought most of the ps3 games can be found on the xbox...Idiots.

[therapist]

the pc is better than both of them!!
ps3 is second
xbox360 a close third
wii is somewhere behind the ipod/ipad

[rezzah]

This article is nothing big, even with a title like that. Compared to 360 articles...well the 360 was the first to have flamebait articles like this, I bet even if you lined them up side by side there'd likely be more 360 than PS3.

The PS3 wasn't so loved by the media back then, nor did anyone have much to say about the PS3 against the 360. What i'm saying is there was articles like this far more than any PS3 article.

Recently there hasn't been much except for that 360 one a couple weeks back. Then some other person replied using the PS3 instead. You know, stuff like "why not to buy a PS3", etc.

[Petebloodyonion]

Crap Article with no meat
If you are to make article like this, at least try to make some valid points because I only see 2 valids points

1) Bluray: valid Point

2)I don't know the status of RROD on todays console but it would be a concern when buying a console. Valid Point

3) WTF? The PS3 is better because when you play the 360 for a long time, it's getting louder? I have yet to experience this on both consoles and never saw big articles talking about this problem. Fail

4) I prefer Ps3 Graphics some prefer 360 but I have yet to see developers jump on the PS3 due to graphics superiority.
Also the games mentioned are from 1st or 2nd Parties studio. Fail

5) Total Fail on so many account for PSN vs LIVE.
Here's my personal reason for live over PSN I reside In Canada I selected French when I created my PSN account, but after seing the crappy french version (you are forced to watch movie dubbed in french) I wanted to changed my PSN to english. Well I can't.
How do you solve this? Sony's answer: Create a new PSN account!

6) I have a Move and it's working very well but if you go on PSN, Move is almost nowhere to be seen like it's already forgotten by SONY. Now if you go on LIVE it's seem that every article or channel are Kinect related. Sorry but this lack of faith from Sony and own sales number is not reason why I should buy a PS3 over 360. Fail!

[Master_S]

FANBOY ARTICLE LOL

Why XBOX 360 is Better than PS3

FIXED.

[nix]

quite obvious. but i like how fanboys still say, "Butbutbuttttt... the multiplat games!!!" i don't think they realise the fact that they have hardly any exclusives to be proud of. i mean this year so far i bought 4 games and all of them are PS3 exclusives. LBP2, KZ2, MS Apocalypse, Yakuza 4. i buy 1 multiplat game for every 7 PS3 exclusive games.

[dead_eye]

I hate you so much for having MS Apocalypse. Can't wait to get that;)

[nix]

you won't be disappointed, bud. it feels apocalyptic. q;

[sycnation]

All i have to say is the platforms both have their own "brands"
MS with FPS and "so called-Core" games
and more "online AKA LIVE baited" games

Sony has ALOT of what I like to call "different" games
Some better, some not. It's the "individuals AKA gamers" who choose their preference

Mind you Bluray does have advantages-a given
but MS does have Games on Demand, and Live Party system

Haters are gonna hate on both systems REGARDLESS
Its like the Pepsi/Coke, democrat/republican fights.
Its not gonna end, just keep on with the tug a war...

[swishersweets20031]

i think this is the 8th time this week i've seen a article like this one

[Platinum_k]

I like this article. It's straight up.
One of the favourite articles that made sense...
Both in logical and efficient.

[dredgewalker]

We argue, we bicker, we wait for the next gen consoles and then do this again.....don't you guys ever get tired? I mean even if one console is better it's still preference if you want the other console.

[Capdastaro]

Gs.

[Killzone3___]

just put this title , {reasons to buy a ps3 }
why put that title ? .. it depends on people , each have his own taste and reasons , some buy xbox360 because all his friends have it , some buy it for the games ..etc

for me , i bought the ps3 just for the games not to compare the ps3 for xbox360...

[DiRtY]

What a well written article.... NOT!

Seriously, the RROD is sooo 2007.

The noise is sooo 2008.

The only valid point I see is the BluRay player. I don't need one, since I am a BIG supporter of VoD, but if that is for you, I say go for it.

And what is the Kinect-talk about? I can't wait for the core games, which are already announced. (RoN, Steel Battalion, Draco etc)

I play both consoles and I prefer the 360. That is just my preference, if you disagree, that's fine.

[Ravenous_Syn]

To each his own......

[JusenkyoGuide]

i personally prefer ps3 is because of that playstation legacy of excellent and diverse games with a long and immersive sp experience. the mp thing comes last when it comes to me, not the end-all-be-all. i could never find those type of exclusives on my 360no matter how hard i tried. the only sp/story focused game i have seen ms publish/fund is alan wake and fable games that's about it lol. the only way i can see someone prefer the 360 over the ps3 is for xbox live and maybe multiplats.

with ps3 it has so many and shares some with the ps2 such as:

the god of war series
the uncharted series
the yakuza series
the infamous series
the mgs series
the ratchet and clank series

the more niche games such as:

3d dot game heroes
demon's souls
trinity souls of zill o'll
atelier rorona

games like this is why i love my ps3 so much. you may or may not like these games, but it gives so much choice that you are bound to find something you like.

i have played PlayStation since i was around 8 or 9 years old. i cannot see myself saying xbox 360 is better than ps3 because ps3 has almost every type of game/feature i want. playstation 3 is like a plant - it takes time to grow and thrive. the xbox 360 is like a rock on top of a hill - started strong but slowly lost power and edge going down.

[CptFlashHeart]

Three words;

GIVE A FUCK

Why are these shite headlines even on here. Are we not allowed to make our own informed choice anymore?

I like Xbox more because it SUITS ME better, Ps3 may be better for other players. End Of.

Now fuck off and actually report some NEWS!

[bozebo]

er.. "The graphics of the PS3 are far better than the Xbox 360". Not exactly _far_ better, but: the RSX chip is far worse than the xenos in the 360 - but the PS3's incredible CPU horsepower means it can do some graphics-related calculations on the CPU (because the cell can compute floating point very well which is unusual for a CPU when you compare it to a GPU). That's all very well and good, but the game and it's engine have to be designed with that in mind which isn't easy to do at all.

anyway: 7. The PS3's cpu is far more powerful than the 360's - meaning it can potentially handle superior physics and AI.

Also, the author totally missed the point about Blu-ray. Blu-ray movies are nice, but the real reason why Blu-ray is good is because a DVD doesn't have enough space for many potential games. 7GB vs 50GB. Hence why GTA4 had no content :/

On a personal note, I don't like any of the ps3's exclusives :( It is just my taste in games I guess. I would though if Tekken & GTA would go back to Sony only (or first launch platform)

[I_Guts_I]

You know this guy just put of this article for attention and your all giving him it.

[FrigidDARKNESS]

i guess the person who posred this needs this ro make themselves feel better.

[macky301]

Because is is made by Sony and has games.

[gamer7804]

1.) Blu ray drives are about 50-60$ and stand alone players under 99$. Xbox can also play hd movies via Zune.

2.) Newer xbox 360's don't have the overheating issues.

3.) The latest xbox 360 slim is also virtually silent.

4.) Subjective

5.) You get what you pay for.

6.) Article is only examining launch titles, some for children some for families, newer titles will be focused at hardcore gamers as well. Kinect is obviously a huge win for the 360, and is selling extremely well. Best to not focus on this one.

[Shok]

Articles like this are still bein written? What is this, 06 and 07? Can't beleive this got approved.
