Best E3 07 Hardware: PS3 vs 360 vs Wii vs PC

PS3, 360, Wii, PC... These are the tools of the trade. Without consoles and handhelds, Gamers would all be stuck with reality. Which package outperforms the rest?

[Art of Motion]

Cant wait for that. hahaha NO!

[TECHNOshamanism]

so there you have it. anyone who was still undecided as to which console to get this holiday season cant use that excuse anymore.

[Fisher339]

Both Nintendo and Sony had impressive software lineups as well.

I sense a little bias from GT.

[TR0N]

WOW, honestly with this news i think sony just got beat by xbox 360. If they lower the price im definately getting one.

[Blankman]

i agree with fisher. When you make statements like "with every 3rd party title that really matter coming to the 360" (MGS IV & FF13 these two will own 360's biggest 3rd party exclusives mass effect and bioshock) i can't help but feel the decision was still biased unless maybe he meant exclusives this year then that makes sense then 360 totally takes it but just a lot closer this year

[eLiNeS]

I have been saying the same thing all along. The Xbox 360 had a huge line up and all but one where do out before the end of the year. The PS3 showed fewer games then M$ and even though they had a better showing they where mostly coming next year or so.

Maybe next year FONY fanboys.

[felidae]

congratulations.

yeah, Uncharted - can't wait for that.

@TECHNOshamanism ... so why did i bought a ps3? maybe it's because i'm not "only" into shooting stuff and i like more diversity.

gametrailers can say what they want but that doesn't convince me to play games i don't want to play.

[Madmax1281980]

i would rethink about ur comment coz if u think about it the ps3 has and is getting a lot of shooters to this gen ie resistance, cod3, rainbow six vegas, cod4, killzone2, haze, unreal tournament3, fear and lots more. lets face it games consoles are going the way of the pc.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

sorry shooting stuff rocks with PS3 controller, Resistance rocks, I am waiting for more FPS for PS3, UT3, Killzone, woot woot.

[THAMMER1]

XBOX 360 rocks!!

[dale1]

with all the lights a flashing xbox lol

[hotshot1237]

AGAINST.LOL.AND THIS YEAR WII AND PS3 ARE JUST PICKIN UP CUZ WE ALL KNOW THE 360 HASNT EVEN SOLD HALF A MILL IN JAPAN AND HAS BEEN OUT 4 2 YEARS. 360 HAS NEXT YEAR. AND ACE COMBAT 6 IS GARGAGE, WARHAWK BETTER. MASS EFFECT NOT GARBAGE BUT FINAL FANTASY BETTER. IDK ABOUT KILLZONE YET BUT MGS4 IS BETTER THEN HALO AKA OVERHYPED. UNCHARTED AND HEAVENLY SWORD AND RACHET AND CLANK R BETTER THEN EVERYTHING ELSE. LAIR IM NOT SURE ABOUT YET BUT ITS STILL PROBABLY GONNA B REALLY GOOD. NOW U KNOW WHICH SYSTEM TO BUY. AND U COULD PLAY THE SAME GAMES BUT NOT HAVE 2 WORRY BOUT UR SYSTEM BREAKIN WHILE PLAYING IT.LOL

[ChickeyCantor]

MY GOD!
Reading on this website without caps i already hard enough!
Get agrip!

[_insane_cobra]

Oh god... This will be interesting.

By the way, DS is missing from the title.

[supnub5]

Plus. You shouldn't believe gametrailers they say a lot of retarded things.For example: they said that cod4 had the best graphics over crysis.I mean come on cod4 looks a lot worse than crysis.Though i was surprised when they said that lbp is most innovative, i though they would put some ds or wii applications.

[paracardium]

Sony clearly had the show and Wii even had a better showing then MS.

[aaquib2]

Sorry, but I don't believe it. Most games on 360 are coming to PS3 or PC anyways.

They're comparing:

Halo 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Ace Combat 6, and Splinter Cell
vs.
Killzone 2, Uncharted, Lair, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Socom: Conferentation, Ratchet and Clank, Unreal Tournament 3, and HAZE.

Which one has the best line up? Clearly PS3. They have a wider breath of titles, and many many many more exclusives, all AAA exclusives.

[TR0N]

i think you forgot about: lost odyssey (one of the best looking video games out there), two worlds, oblivion(game of the year edition) and a whole bunch of other exclusives for the 360.

[AllroundGamer]

TR0N i hope you don't count multiplatform games as xbox exclusives... cause you know, that Two Worlds is for PC too and Oblivion is on PC and PS3 also...

[Dr Pepper]

@ aaquib2

You know that UT3 and Haze are both coming to the 360 later on, right (much like Ace combat 6 is going to the PS3 later on)?

[carlman23]

Here's the compiled list of console exclusives as of June 2007:

http://www.gamingtarget.com...

As you can see, the PS3 is in last place.

See, what bugs me about all the comments here is that many people obviously don't give a damn about games. I guess they care more about companies? I don't give a rat's a$s about which console the best games are on. The Christie Cookie Corporation could release a console and if it had the best games, I'd buy it.

I loved Nintendo back in the day, then I went to Sony when the games went there. Now, Sony's not looking as hot as they used to. Maybe they'll rebound, but stop frickin' pretending that Microsoft and Nintendo aren't cutting into Sony's market share like crazy. Power shifts and dynasties fall. This is actually GOOD for consumers because it forces companies to compete for our money.

[lalaland]

When, off the top of my head, they are missing titles like SOCOM: Confrontation (different developer and different game from SOCOM 5), GT5 Prologue (full separate game according to PH) and InFamous are mysteriously missing?

Furthermore they've conveniently made the rules to include PC multiplatform games as exclusives, ignore anything but games released in the US and they seem to be selective with what titles they take into account at MetaCritic, making X360 look better.

On topic, GT's choice of favourite platform is subjective and they are entitled to their opinion. My taste in games and craving for innovative and variety in games however, makes me disagree entirely.

[SwiderMan]

GT5 Prologue wasn't announced in June. inFamous wasn't announced in June. The online-only SOCOM didn't count in this JUNE list due to being a download-only game (this may be considered in future lists). Anyway, thanks for complaining about games that weren't announced before the article's published date.

[Gamer13]

All consoles got something to offer.

IM OUT...///"""

[sumfood4u]

Thoes who have working systems have a lot to look forwards to at the end of this year! He sounded like a Xbox Fanboy sorta,I doubt he was even there prolly looking at a screen an pretending to be an announcer or something. Sneaking in the last two sentences real quickly! PS3 actually won that E3 event with the Wii comming in 2nd than 360. No i'm not a fanboy, or a Xbox hater. But people who actually saw the E3 know what I'm talking about.

BTW if you disagree with me that prolly means your one of thoes Xbox Fans who System is working well, or That you never sat down an watched E3 online like most of us did!

[candystop]

Keep dreaming fanboy and except the truth!I'm going to disagree with you because myself and many others know that Sony didn't win this E3 and not even close! Go to ign and also watch how they rated the 360 in almost every category as the best showing at E3! Killzone 2 was all hype and looked nowhere near the actual E3'05 footage lol! Prepare for another year of ownage in 08 as 360 steadily out paces PS3 and keeps on bringing the games that you will not be finding on PS3! Why does it matter to you so much that 360 beats out PS3 in every category as usual? Just stick with your PS3 and just get use to the fact that not evrybody is blind and 360 will continue to get better reviews and games!

[neil1988]

if the nintendo wii had more showing games they would have won E3 . xbox360 just barily won E3 but they won lol
but nintendo wii has won the console war .

[eLiNeS]

It has last gen graphics with this gens game play with a low price the others can't compete with but cheap enough to get either a Wii60 or a PSWii. The Xbox 360 and PS3 are at war here folks and Fony is getting beat at the moment but that is not to say they won't get up and get a few good punches in as well and that's a good thing but you have got to admit, while PS3 fans will be waiting a good while for there games we will be playing ours all year longgggggggggggg and then some. Will see how you do next year. It will be a bloody war.

[supnub5]

Gametrailers you suck.You give worst nominations.4th bubble please.
WTF in the related games it shows Crysis on PS3

[candystop]

This is common sense really! Sony didn't have crap at the show but LBP and uncharted! I can't wait for next year when MS raises the bar even further and we start seeing more and more games come to 360 as exclusives timed or what ever you want to call them! The 360 is the choice this year and I'm willing to bet for this entire generation!

[StateofMind]

Sorry but this is retarded. 360 is the best hardware because...it has the best software? 360 is actually probably the worst hardware, considering how faulty it is. If you're trying to push the 360 as a console worth owning, fine...just don't do it under the guise of ranking hardware.

I was expecting some kind of realistic technical comparisons. Unfortunately, this is Gametrailers.

[The Swordsman]

I know, it makes so little since. I mean, I watched the video, and I thought "what?". I was thinking that it would be comparing hardware, but I was wrong. Then again, this is, as you said, Game Trailers. They probably don't have the intelligence to tell the difference between software and hardware.

[carlman23]

There's no point comparing hardware for power - The PC wins hands down. The point is to compare which hardware platform is best for gamers. They chose Xbox 360, you may disagree. If raw processing power = greatness, than the Xbox and GameCube should have trounced the PS2 last generation. Wake up and smell reality.

[achira]

lol, xbots try it hard. seriously who believes that the xbox360 is the best hardware ? lol, what a bad joke. blind ms b!tches. ms = killzowned. period.

edit: candystop has someone told you that you are a bastard ? no ? you are a bastard and a looser. go play your facking xcrapbox, oh sorry i forgot you have it in repair.

[candystop]

I love getting underneath your sensitive Sony skin b!tch! Killzone sucked at E3 and you know it did so quit blowing sh!t out of you azz! You've had 1 bubble for 6 month so please tell me again who the looser is looser lol! The funny thing is Sony fans like to talk crap but when someone talks crap about PS3 they start to cry! You sir are an embarrassment to this site so please just shut the hell up! I'm giving my honest opinion and not just spitting out insult crap like yourself and can't believe I'm stooping this low to even reply to your sensitive azz!

[hamburgerhill]

No offense Achira but your sounding very immature today! Name calling should not be tolerated on this site period! Personally I would ban you if I had the power to do such a thing!

[Madmax1281980]

PLEASE CRAWL BACK INTO THAT HOLE YOU CAME OUT OF AND DO US ALL A FAVOUR AND DIE! i really hate fanboys or whatever u call them why cant everybody buy each system and be happy why have ppl always got to slag off other systems or the companies who make them? what the hell is this world coming too?

[aquaviva71]

Why buy hardware (Xbox) when you know your going to bring it in for repair or always exchange it when it fails think about the hassle of disconecting the unit and pulling forward your entertainment unit all that hassle for what Halo, Mass Effect and Bioshock thats it.
Save yourself all this aggrevation and get a solid system (PS3) with a spotless reputation and way, way more amazing games. I'm not even going to talk about the Wii. The Wii is for babies.

[carlman23]

Actually buddy, both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 have been dragged through the mud by the media. But the PS3 is the only one that game developers routinely come out and trash the manufacturer for (i.e. it's too complicated to program for and doesn't sell well). Buy the console you want, but stop pretending that yours has some kind of pristine reputation.

It doesn't break, I'll give it that!

[Kratosnake]

Carlman, i have to disagree....

spotless reputation and SONY in the same sentence might be funny, but PS3 had nothing but greatness since its release. Lack of games is unfortunate, but that will soon change.

[carlman23]

Look man, I don't want to get snarky or anything, but if the PS3 is so 'great', then why hasn't it been selling (maybe there's a spike this month, we'll have to see)? Obviously there have been problems since launch that don't have to do with hardware failures. I mean Sony's PR was terrible between Jan - May. Nothing but greatness is a bit of a stretch for any console.

[Kratosnake]

how great a product is and how well it sells have nothing to do with each other mate.

You're actually presuming that the consumer is smart, which is so darn far from reality.

I agree with you about the PR, but i'm talking from a technical POV: the PS3 is a great machine.

[eLiNeS]

people buy the Xbox 360 and keep buying it or getting it repaired is because of the games, the online service, M$ standing by there product and M$ is here to stay and they showed that at E3 07 with the HUGE lineup of games coming THIS YEAR!!! Sure, I am on my 3rd Xbox 360 since launch but my Xbox 360 was paid for 6 years ago when I bought my first Xbox. That's right, I bought it at Costco and they offer a lifetime warranty on most everything including the Xbox 360 with no charge. So if I have a problem I just take it down to Costco, get my money back and go buy another one, no questions asked and I keep buying because of the games and Xbox Live!!!!

[aquaviva71]

Developers that are intelligent know that the PS3 is the true next generation system that has out of this world crisp 3D grafx, sharp sound which is built through highest standards of engineers. The developers that want quick money to pay their BMW's are the ones that cry because they don't want to spend quality time making a solid game which reflects their studio or company they say its too difficult to make a game for the PS3- sure because your lazy. Naughty Dog, Factor5 etc. actually want to show the public that they do have the intelligence and patience to create a work of art for the world to see.

[ChickeyCantor]

lazy devs?
i guess you dont have a clue how much time it takes to make a game.

[egyptian_diarrhea]

hummm, it seems microsoft has lot a couple of thousands more, paying this guys at gametrailers...
although i do agree with them, but i have an xbox, and i love it so my opinion is a little biased.
Seeing the bad news lately about x360,something smells fishy about this one...

[hamburgerhill]

The bad news you've been hearing was brought forth by fanboys! Don't let them confuse you as to what's going on! The real bad news is that PS3 is not the main console of choice this generation and 3rd parties are leaving that console in favor of 360 because unfortunatly that is were the moneys at!

[Kaneda]

You mean bad news like 3rd parties like Epic releasing UT3, ubisoft Haze, Konami MGS4 for PS3...

[MK_Red]

Its the 3rd straight year that they announce 360 the best hardware. (I also think that for both 2005 and 2006, they chose Xbox360 as the console of the year).

While I dont totally agree with GT on 360 as the best hardware of E3, I think that all 3 of PS3, Xbox360 and Wii are great and superb platforms and there is enough reason and evidence to choose each of them as the best (also PC but thats not exactly a console...). So, it only comes down to what aspects of each console appeal more to each person.

But after 3 years, I think giving a single console the awards every year is a bit unfair but acceptable. Cant wait for E3 2008 (A bit early...).

[Dr Pepper]

I can't wait for E3 2010...

[aquaviva71]

Developers that are serious about their profession and have passion in what they do and actually want to develop a game for the PS3 don't make excuses and cry "its too hard to work with the PS3" they begin to get updated into figuring out how and what they need to start creating - and aren't afraid to sweat it out and put in long hours because the end result reflects their professionalism and the consumers aren't stupid - we know a good game when we see it eg. Killzone2 and so with the PS3 selling the way it is those dev are going to make a killing and us consumers will not forget who made the game- we will look out for more games from that particular dev. who actually made a game worthy of $60.

[egyptian_diarrhea]

there are two sides of that coin. Although that is valid,i think it's also valid that since it's easier to develop for 360 they can do so much more in it, and really excel themselves.Since imo,Ps3 hardware is better, but it's like it's not on a whole different level or something.
if guerrila had the same budget and developers, but instead were making kz2 for xbox who knows what it'd turn out to be... but the same can be said about any other game on any other platform.... :(

[MarioFromTexas]

eye of judgement first of it's kind, sixaxis. I'm not going to defend gametrailers because it seems most of these website these days have been bias toward the 360. I bought the PS3 because it has the games I want play plain and simple and the power to make, the best games I have seen. It's seems like FPS have taken over the game sites and people forgot about the other genres....I haven't touch my 360 in weeks because i'm sick of FPS, I know i'm not the only one that feels this way.

[Dr Pepper]

Maybe you should buy games for your 360 that aren't in the FPS genre, if your so sick of them.

[Rasecul]

That brainwash attempt failed.

PC for best hardware... Ridiculous... Of course it is!!! Just not MOST of them.

Anyhow, if you're happy with the winner, enjoy it while it lasts.

[alpha plus]

The entire video is comparing each platform's games library first and foremost, so why are they calling it the best hardware. That's kind of misleading (and no, the first statement of the video doesn't cut it). And I, personally, beleive that with all the 360 defects, it shouldn't even be called the best hardware.

[tudors]

Finally somthing to slow down the doom brigade; also proof that this site does not dictate the opinions of the masses.

[DJ]

They name 360 as the best hardware, and then at the very end the narrator states "...those who have working systems have a lot to look forward to." I wonder why 3rd party titles like Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII/Versus, Unreal Tournament, and Haze don't seem to matter though. Yeah, the 360 has a solid lineup of 3rd party games, but the majority those 3rd party games are also going to be available on the Playstation 3 when they come out; in fact, some of them have either more content or better graphics/gameplay on the PS3. Colin McCrae (Dirt) is a great example of how a game with sometimes shoddy controls and framerate issues can come out performing, looking, and handling better on Sony's platform. While this may have to do more with Sony sending out their top engineers to assist 3rd party developers worldwide, I'm actually glad that the company is putting in the effort to make sure multiplatform titles are superior on Playstation hardware. Microsoft needs to start doing the same if they expect to keep their lead.

Had Gametrailers taken a look at exclusives for this year, it's obvious that Playstation would have swept the floor with other platforms. It's not that the Wii or Xbox 360 have bad lineups; Sony's is just more impressive at the moment. Before E3, we could've sworn that Nintendo and Microsoft were going to kick Sony to the floor this year; the aftermath of their respective press conferences however paints a very outlook. Nintendo seems to be hitting the same issue that N64 and Gamecube had, which is limited 3rd party support and more of a focus on 1st party titles. Xbox 360's lineup is almost entirely composed of multiplatform titles, something that Peter Moore tried to put some spin on during the Microsoft Press Conference. Despite the numerous reports of Sony losing exclusives AND multiplatform titles, the truth seems to be that they have a huge selection of both 1st party exclusives, some great exclusive (or timed-exclusive) 3rd party titles, and a healthy number of multiplatform games that tend to perform and look better on their system.

Sony has the upper hand in terms of content and features right now. What they need to continue to work on is making the PSP compatible with the Playstation Network (i.e. being able to access it through any Wi-Fi connection in the world, which is something they're working on) as well as fixing some minor downsides of PSN -> unified chat system, realtime messaging during games, etc. The foundation is very solid, and users have shown a high level of satisfaction with games such as Resistance having 40 player matches...without a hint of lag.

TGS is still coming up though, and I suspect that since 3rd party developers had a late start on the Wii that their titles will make a big showing at the Japan Conference. They started at around December when the Wii became a sold-out phenomenon, so it's probably just too early in the development cycle to showcase their titles. The PS3 will have an even bigger lineup as well (Sony showcased a ton of new content just last week at Playstation Premiere). Microsoft probably held back at E3, expecting Sony to have a weak lineup, but that obviously wasn't the case. They're going to try their damnedest to make a turnaround at TGS, but the crazy thing is that Sony was also holding back...

[razer]

Even though the 360 hardware has been getting nailed by the press and fanboys I think people who actually own the system know that it's a great console. Yes, there are failures that are now being worked out and I think will soon be a distant memory. If there is one thing this gen MS has messed up on that is the hardware manufacturing and Q&A testing of the system. But the design and performance are excellent and will soon shine once the heat issues are out of sight.

[THAMMER1]

Sony fan boys pay more attention to the 360's 3red light issues then the D@MN PS3.

[DaEnforcer]

Bwahahahahahaa this must be some kind of a joke, riiiight?

[kingboy]

looks like it

[ApocalypseShadow]

but that was a rather weak way of presenting it.it will come down to the type of games you like.

i have no shame.i freely admit i don't like 360's lineup.if i'm not a shooter fan,then what do i have to look forward to on 360?.......................... ................yep.that's what i thought.and the third party games are coming to ps3.the 3 games every 360 fan pushes are halo3,bioshock and mass effect.they try new ideas.but the reality is that these are all shooters.the games 360 owners BUY MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE are shooters.as for ace combat,ive played them all.it's not new to me anymore.it's no longer fun.same boring lock on from behind and launch missles at the red targets.and white targets just get you more money for planes.that's old as the first game.i'm just not that impressed by the lineup or microsoft's E3.

nintendo showed wiifit like I REALLY WANT TO PLAY and exercise on a plastic board.metroid,smash bros and mario are good for nintendo.but it's the same franchises spoonfed over and over again.that's not fresh in my book.so,good for them,BAD FOR ME.and they had a totally lame E3.

sony had not only the most diverse lineup,but the best E3.who gives a f*ck that they messed up with miscommunication on the price drop.THE 60GIG SYSTEM CAN BE BOUGHT FOR $499.99.no ifs ands or buts.sony is selling 60gigs for $499.99.the ps3 with 60 gigs in it can be purchased for the low price of $499.99.in case you're wondering,some ps3s are selling for $499.99 with 5 bluray movies.just in case you're wondering.

BUT:

if you want an action game-uncharted and heavenly sword.

if you want a platformer game-ratchet and clank and little big planet.

if you want racing-GT5 prologue,wipeout hd

if you want flying-lair

if you want combat-warhawk,socom,ut3(ex),h aze(ex)

if you want puzzle and quirkyness-eye of judgement,echochrome,pain,loco roco

if you want rpgs-folklore

if you want community-HOME

if you want sports-hot shots golf,nba 08,mlb the show

if you want a reliable system-PS3.i will say again,"PS3."

THIS IS NOT COUNTING ANY THIRD PARTY GAMES EXCEPT FOR TWO EXCLUSIVES.

and this is only the ones we KNOW ABOUT.sony hasn't even shown the TOKYO GAME SHOW GAMES YET.

YOU WANT A DIVERSE LINEUP THAT DOESN'T RELY ON THIRD PARTIES,ONLY ONE SYSTEM PROVIDES MORE.AND THEY ARE ALL COMING THIS FALL FOR THAT SYSTEM.THE MOST RELIABLE SYSTEM:

THE PS3.yes,i'm biased.but all that is posted is true.no other system has a diverse lineup like ps3.if you can match sony's lineup for 2007 with an equivalent on 360 or nintendo without using third party games that will be on ps3,i want you to post it.and not disagree because you're a lame fanboy.

[MarioFromTexas]

I like the competition and this brings better games. I own both systems and want both to succeed, I just hate the xbots how they brag about the 360 which is a good system, it just isnt' advanced at the PS3. You got to give Sony props for not cutting corners like M$ did. Remember bill gates himself said that the 360 will have HDDVD and harddrive in every 360, obviously he felt it was needed for a real nextgen experiance.

[Figboy]

is how everyone just seems to ingore the other titles hitting the PS3 this fall.

they act as if only two games are releasing this year

Lair - *THIS FALL (August, to be exact)
Warhawk - *THIS FALL (also in August)
Heavenly Sword - *THIS FALL
Folklore - *THIS FALL
Eye of Judgement - *THIS FALL
Hot Shots Golf 5 - *THIS FALL(popular series)
Ratchet and Clank Future - *THIS FALL
Haze - *THIS FALL
Unreal Tournament 3 - *THIS FALL (not everybody has the money to build the killer PC necessary to really do this game justice)
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - *THIS FALL

seriously, those are all heavy hitters, and tons of variety in genre to suit a wide range of tastes.

yes, next year is looking nice with Killzone 2, Infamous, and MGS4, but there is *PLENTY hitting the PS3 this fall also. and it's not just BS filler games. each of the games i listed above are looking rather top notch.

the 360 has a great lineup this fall, also, but it really just seems to cater only to 360 fans. shooters, flight sims, and Halo. everything else is multi-platform. even Mass Effect (which i can't wait to get my hands on, to be honest), is a shooter with an RPG focus and story (not that that's a bad thing, mind you).

to me, the PS3 has the most diverse lineup of 2007, even if the games aren't second generation (which is even more of a testament to the PS3's developers, as games like Ratchet and Uncharted are, technically, first generation PS3 games, as they hit before November, and the PS3's first year birthday, and they are looking amazing, easily on par with 2nd generation 360 titles).

i still don't think the PS3 is getting the credit it deserves. it's year one lineup is very solid gaming for it's userbase.

something tells me this contest is going to be rather one-sided.

my money is on the 360 to win this contest.

[timmyp53]

hey act as if only two games are releasing this year

Lair - *THIS FALL (August, to be exact)
Warhawk - *THIS FALL (also in August)
Heavenly Sword - *THIS FALL
Folklore - *THIS FALL
Eye of Judgement - *THIS FALL
Hot Shots Golf 5 - *THIS FALL(popular series)
Ratchet and Clank Future - *THIS FALL
Haze - *THIS FALL
Unreal Tournament 3 - *THIS FALL (not everybody has the money to build the killer PC necessary to really do this game justice)
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - *THIS FALL

and y didnt they mention that the ps3 has alot of multiplatform games too. maybe they gave the award to them because of the previous titles for the year headstart...
one thing is for sure gaming on all consoles is gonna be awesome this year

[Groo]

Ok ok, we get it, PS3 rocks, even though you haven't played anything good on it yet, maybe resistance, its rocks.. we get it, christ.

[THAMMER1]

LOL

I wish the flipping PS3 would do some D@MN talking for it's self. Then maybe some many PS3 fans would not have to run around the web looking for security.

[carlman23]

In principle I agree. There's nothing out at the moment that would make me want to buy a PS3... unlike the 360. Now, IF the PS3 lineup is so great, we'll all buy one then: not now, but then. Because we're all supposed to be caring about games right?

Someone once said that the worst fanboys are always those whose beloved product is doing the worst. First it was the SEGA fans, then the Nintendo fans, now it's the Sony fans.

[THAMMER1]

Your right.

I am heavy handed.

It has its gifts and its curses.

I got burnt by the SEGA 32X. That thought me a lesson. Never fall for hype only go for face value facts. So in short keep it real with your self and you will never have a problem keeping it real with others.

[timmyp53]

i think the PS3 has about the same amount of exclusives if not more coming out this year as the xbox and i just dont get y they didnt say ps3 has multiplatform games too.

[THAMMER1]

.....................

[xg-ei8ht]

FFS

Be honest ppl, your telling me xbox360 has the best hardware,lmao.lmao,lmao,lmao,l mao.

Fuking idiots must have Motorstorm mud in their eyes.

Bioshock,lmao, that'll get about 7/10

Halo 3 about 8.5/10

Xbox360 wins best hardware, funniest things i've ever heard, the fact that the machine breaks frequently and has alot of dodgy titles coming out.

Wii- Kids toy, been there done that. Now does that remote work on my tv. Oh well no thanks.

PS3 - Easily the best lineup of games coming this fall, not to mention 2008, so many big hitters.

PS3 FOR THE WIN - WITH EASE.

Not to mention the hardware pisses over anything out or coming out.

Its a media box all in one, and actually does the job.

[PS3n360]

then why are you so insecure? If its all that then it certainly doesnt need the king of ineptitude sputing off on its behalf. Nne of this matters.I know why I am buying a Ps3 and its definately not because idiots like you convinced me. stop being a PeniS3.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

"With every third-party games that really matters are under 360's umbrella": Assassin's Creed, Rock Band, GTA VI are viseble...

Wow, what a surprise, more on site that talks like these games aren't one PS3...

And even have the audacy to come about console-exclusive games to justify (Halo 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock and Ace Combat 6), where the PS3 clearly win... Metal Gear Solid, Pain, Ratchet And Clank, Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Heavenly Sword and Killzone 2 are showed in this video, taking aside all those PSN games, Unreal Tournament 3, Warhawk, more Exclusives and even a cut price...

Yes, Sony make a better show, and that they even talk. But make Sony also make the PS3 better hardware out there if the games is what you gona consider, what is the objective of the video.

I'm not talking that X360 games are bad, I want Bioshock and Mass Effect too. But is really that, as far as I see with the parameters that GT stated (only games to come count), PS3 is a better hardware now. You can put a "this year" (that they never had talked) but even that way, PS3 looks better to me... Anyway, not that my vision is "better" or "righter" anyway... in fact, nobody really care, but GT looked pretty biased to me...

If its hardware then its between ps3 and wii but i think ps3 takes that.

Software as a gamer theres nore games i want on ps3 then i do 360(dont have a wii yet).

360:
Halo 3- Mostly for the online (maybe i can get in a tourney and make some money)

Mass Effect- sorry to say it one if the few true next-gen titles for 360.

Ace Combat- ps2 game play with 360 graphics (online dogfighting should be cool)

Bio Shock- the other true next gen title for 360 should be good.

PS3:
Drake- looks good, story looks good

Heavenly Sword- Story look crazy, 100+ enemies with indi. A.I., good graphics

Warhawk- online should be crazy

UT3- looks amazing and online play should be sick. i heard they tried to gave it a good story this time around.

Ratchet and Clank- Looks like a pixar movie, havent played one before so unless i pick up a ps2 ver. i dont think im gonna jump on this till after some reviews.

Strangle Hold- i know its multi but im getting the ps3 ver. because of Hard Boiled BR.

All three consoles are putting out some good game but unless just dont like the genre of games coming out one the ps3 this award should be a lot closer.

They give XBOX 360 credit for all the multi platform games like GTA and Assassins creed. And they knock PS3 for only having Metal Gear Solid 4 and Killzone 2 in 2008.

[Jdash24]

First of all the ps3 and xbox 360 launches weren't that different. They both launched with only one quality exclusive title each ( Call of Duty 2 and Resistance Fall of Man) [both fps's] and the rest were average games except for the two crap games ( Perfect Dark Zero and Mobil Suit Crossfire) then a couple of good games came out over the year before the ps3 came out like oblivion and gears of war......but when the ps3 came most of the good 360's that came out before the ps3 came over to the ps3 like F.E.A.R. and Oblivion came over to the ps3.....and now a full out pouring of games from both consoles while the only really worthwhile 360 exclusive is Halo 3.

Also with the recent ps3 price cut its only $100 more than the 360 or if u by the elite $20......but the 360 doesn't stop digging into your wallet after you buy the console.... you have to buy membership to xbox live per month and then they give you good games like lost planet, gears of war, and crackdown then they make a little more content like a couple of maps or a few new vehicles and they expect you to cash in another $10 per download.......which makes some of their games $70....and oblivion charges for knights of the nine and it comes free with the ps3 version of the console........

the ONLY reason that microsoft made the 360 elite was because their scared of sony.......the ps3 was equipped with a 60 gb hard drive..full 1080p and hdmi outputs.........and had multimedia to where you could copy music from your mp3 to your ps3 via usb cable........while the 360 you can only copy music over from cd's..........anyway the elite was equipped with a 120 gb hdd because their trying to show up sony as well as the hdmi port.....also the black color......they just wait till you buy up your console and all the accessories.......maybe a 20gb hdd at $100 to store all your downloads then they say you can have a hdd that holds 6x the storage for only $80 bucks more......how would that make you feel......plus 360 barely ever have software updates for the console to add new features like sony does all the time...also the ps3 failure rate was less than 1% much like the wii but the 360 has a 33% failure rate.....its like playing russian roulette with your console

the ps3 has incredible backwards compatiblily with the ability to transfer you ps2 game data to your ps3 with a library of over 8000 games unlike the xbox 360 having to update for backwards compatibility and no way to take your data to your 360

ps3 is trying something new and innovative like the wii.......bringing us new ways to play games and fun ways to interact online unlike the 360.......so say the ps3 is copying the wii (even thought motion sensitive controllers were mentioned before anything about the "revolution" was mentioned...and the ps3 came out first) at least their trying to bring us better experiences

the graphics are much better thanks to the cell processor running imapges at 1080p and 60 frames per second.....and the ps3 is more expensive because of the blu-ray player which allows the games TO HOLD MORE MEMORY CREATING BETTER GRAPHICS AND MORE DETAIL WITH A LARGER GAME MAP AND MORE ABILITIES because the blu-ray can hold 25 gb per disc on single layered discs

also dont rag on the playstation network because they just launched a few months ago and the 360 has had 1 1/2 years to get their xbox live in good shape on the 360........the 360 start up was exactly like the ps3 but unlike the ps3 the 360 had no other next gen consoles avalible to compare it too........people said that the ps3 is behind in console sales in its first months which couldnt have been said for the 360 cuz their was nothing else to compare it too.......the 360 only got a headstart on the ps3......and the wii is in the lead because its such a novelty but still worth getting for zelda, ssbb, and super mario galaxy

so 360 fanboys dont rag on ps3 owners....or hate the ps3 because what did it ever do to you.......did it rape your family? did it beat you? harass you? no its just trying to bring you good games

just because you got a few exclusives from us doesnt mean you automatically win the war because in my opinion sony took e3 with the most interesting and most trailers and news avalible.......while the wii had some good news info about release dates and the zapper.....while the 360 laid its whole backbone on the fact that they had halo3........not only that but noone else has it.........they have just become too dependant on the halo franchise to move consoles and even made halo 3 consoles to try and move more consoles.......when a console goes to gimmicks to sell more consoles it just becomes terrible focusing on hardware to stay ahead and not focusing on software........i mean anyother purchase worthy game coming out this year for the 360 is also coming to the ps3 except halo3 but ps3 has about 5 games worthy of buying exclusive to the ps3

so just weigh the difference between the hardware, software, and overall quality of whats here and whats to come for the consoles and the winner should be obvious

PS3 WINS!!!

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Pure pwnage. System fails, drop in sales, and still the best system. Because the games are the best in the world.

[Lowtax]

Wii has a limited appeal. I love it but some of my friends think it's lame.

360 does have alot of games, but fails alot. If I was gonna push for a system it would be PC because my favorite 360 games are coming to windows and my PC doesnt blink red and yell at me.

The PS3 is growing, their line up looks amazing for being in the run for about a year now.

[Sevir04]

the last i remember both GTA4 and Assassins creed is hitting day and date with the ps3. how the heck do they disregard the fact that all those multiplatform games aren't coming to ps3. and then say MASS EFFECT and Bioshock as the biggest titles of this year... um... no as much i as i will be playing that game. it holds no candle to the likes of Ratchet, and HS. and then halo. ok that will sell like no tommorrow. but after that whats left ace combat six. eternal sonata... the only rpg hitting 360 this year in the US... and i mean true rpg. not rpg shooter (mass effect). Lost odyssey doesn't even come close because it's dropping next year in the US so, whats the big game that is making the ps3 line up look like crap. nothing

there heres the list of confirmed exclusives dropping in the states for xbox360 not pc games

Halo
Mass effect

so WTF are these xbox fankids going on about. is it that MS had a very poor showing at e3 and there was no good news at all but the same old games we've been seeing from last year up till now. and this sight say's it got the award for best hardware which is even more funny because it's clearly showing the opostite with this RROD issue. if they said software it would have even been more acceptible but clearly not right.

i'm sorry but as mutual as i maybe when it comes to games. 2 first party games from MS and 2 third part shooters just wont do it. it's a weak line up and Sony clearly came out showing the strongest of any of the 3 companies.

and whats more is that The 2 things xbox fankids and extremist were hoping would never come true was killzone wowing the audiences and actually showing gameplay that was every bit as good looking as the e3 2005 presentation. and you know what it did. and then MGS4 staying a PS3 exclusive. i could bet that alot of you freaking Cursed hell to banishment when kojima appeared on stage and Sony annouced it with him shaking his head in agreement that MGS4 is PLAYSTATION 3 ONLY. if you ask me
FF and MGS4 are the real third party games that matter. everythingg else just doesn't compare. to their hype thats why so many 360 fankids (not fans) want that game so much.

if you are gonna give award s give it fairly this baised thing needs to stop.

and already next year is looking spectacular. i wont even bother going it to next years list because as of right now we can see plenty ahead.

enough said

[Pug]

How can they give the best hardware award to a console with appauling build quality which has resulted in the high failure rates that have been reported...

[aquaviva71]

When people go out to buy Halo3 and stick it into their refurbished machine which by the should be called the The Vacuum Hoover Box they are going to be so dissapointed hence its going to be the same thing over and over, the gameplay is going to be the same as Halo2, you watch give it 3 days after release and hear people say "its alright, nothing I've never played before." Unlike Lair or Heavenly Sword or Drake Uncharted Island etc. these are all diverse interesting games. Coming September thru November the owners of the PS3 are going to have to buckle up because its going to be ride they will never forget.

[xRiotmanx]

[Al]

THE WHOLE caps thing? Relax, MS showed an awsome lineup of games coming out "right here, right now", not Far, far away in a non specific date in 2008.

Edit: to Bill Harrison

First off, its Al mothaf#cker so don't get it twisted. Second, MS has just as many games (if not more) than the PS 3 games coming this fall. Don't believe me:

PS 3
Lair
Heavenly Sword
Uncharted
Warhawk (yeah right, I gave you a freebie considerng the game is not really a GAME)
Haze (timed)
UT3 (timed)
GT5 prologue

Microsoft:
Bioshock
Mass Effect (goty)
Halo 3
Lost Oddysey
PGR 4
Blue Dragon
Ace Combat

Edit 2:
Yeah your right... because Grand theft Auto (which you put in small case- thought I'd miss it?) is definitely a PS 3 exclusive dummy. And what's with Home being a GAME- the f#ck. And folklore-the f#ck, and eye of judgemnet- the f#ck, and hotshots- the f#ck. Last of all, UT 3 is NOT a PS 3 exclusive. Wasting my time and sh!t...

[Bill_Harrison]

I totally agree microsoft just has a few games but next time just hit caps button so duches like Ai dont show there nerd self
