Xbox 360 vs. PS3 Face-Off

Eurogamer writes:

"Eurogamer is back for its latest tour of duty at the frontline of the console war with this new instalment in our series of PS3 vs Xbox 360 cross-platform face-offs. We take an impartial look at a range of games that appear on both consoles, providing additional comment to the reviews already published on the site. Technical differences are highlighted, with any impact on the basic gameplay being of primary concern.

As usual, backing up the analysis is a range of comparison screenshots of each game, losslessly extracted with full 24-bit RGB precision from the HDMI ports of the Xbox 360 Elite and PlayStation 3 courtesy of a Digital Foundry HD capture unit. 720p shots are provided as standard for all games, but where the PS3 version supports 1080p (either scaled or native), we supply additional 'True HD' screengrabs to compare the games' respective performance for those privileged enough to have access to top-end displays.

We've got an intriguing range of titles in the line-up this time around, including two of the biggest releases of recent times."

[Zhuk]

Zhuk's Summary:

The Xbox 360 continues to prove that it is the most powerful gaming machine this generation, with all games looking and playing better on the Xbox 360. Combine this with the award winning Xbox Live service and the innovative achievements system, there is no reason not to Jump In these holidays.

Dont "P L A Y B 3 H I N D" with inferior games with inferior graphics and features, it is time to truly experience next generation titles in all their glory with the Xbox 360

[360sucks]

lagXbox360 most powerful gaming machine this generation
thats the best joke this generation
(reply)first madden wasn't the football game out this year
no Uncharted issues
you cant a even get on the internet with the 360
even the wii you can get online
stop asking your moms for money
get a job bum

[iceice123]

How's madden running for you, 30fps how is that? How about Assassins Creed, what is this framerate issues? Hmmm, how about Uncharted issues? Lair perhaps, screen tearing, texture pops, freeze ups etc. That "lag box" is far superior to your wanna be game console.

Aww 360sucks, can't think of anything to say because the truth hurts :'(. You even had to go off topic, how cute. Really shows how much the console and its fanbase fail at everything.

[paul_war]

I stopped reading after "Zhuk's Summary:"

[peksi]

Instead of your sales speech you could have actually read the article and watched the pictures. Your response must have been here in one minute.

[rubarb23]

can disagree with what zhuk or any 360 owner for that matter says, but face it girls, 360 pwns ps3. since so many of you ps3 droids are always asking for proof, look no further than the comparisons. time after time the 360 is beating you like a jealous husband.
i think the problem here is you were all promised so much by the jerkoffs at sony and what you got instead was a piece of crap. sony droids aren't used to being anything but # 1. that's why it's so hard to accept that trash you have in your living room sucks. you all keep telling each other the payoff is coming and thus far it hasn't. now what's your new motto "wait til 2008", OMG, lol, ok we'll wait for you guys in 2008 and you know what's going to happy? your POS3 is going to get smacked up again and again and again and what's that?....AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
then, your all going to start your new motto "wait til 2009" - YAWN!!!!!!! what ever, keep waiting, enjoy your wait.

[ravinash]

Its very rear that he says anything to contributes to the conversation.
There is a term we call people like that from where I come from...it starts with S and ends with stirrer.

[Psynapt1k]

Oh it is Zhuk AGAIN! WOW yup there it is again! BlaH Blah XBOX360 Blah BLAH BLAH blah - his bowels have been working overtime!

[HarryEtTubMan]

HAHAHAH lOOK AT THE ANGREY XBOTX because everywhere you look its NEGATIVE RROD... 360 SUCKS... OLD OUTDATED PC NEWS HAHAHAHA. PS3 has outsold your JUNKBOX FOR A MONTH STARIGHT WITH NO BIG GAMES YET AND THE JUNKBOX JUST GOT HALO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.............O UCH. You're gonna lose!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Xbox 180 SUCKS!

[360Crusader]

Jeez wonder why you only got one bubble?

[FF7numba1]

lol wait till 09. Most likely thats when the new xbox comes and you xbots will be milked again.

Seriously why would you buy crap hardware knowing that company has a history of abandoning their consoles. You know when ps3 starting gaining on xbox 360 M$ is gonna drop it and ask you guys buy the new one.You guys ready for the xbox 720?

xbots must be made of money.

[Real Gambler]

Out of 8 games, only two were not made by EA and THQ. (Let's make games for the 360 first, then port them as good as we can on the PS3). And since they made twice as many titles for the 360, so far, than the PS3, it's already amazing that most of those lousy ports look almost as good as the original 360 titles.

The last two titles are holding their ground quite nicely, again, even if those two devs have been making games for the 360 longer.

Now, here's what's I'm expecting...

Guess 1:
EA saw a higher % PS3 owners buying a very bad version of Madden 08 than the 360 version. I'm guessing they will do better ports from now on, seing a better attach rate on a lousier port.

Guess 2:
THQ is definitively not a bad company, but it's smaller. Now they are used to the dev kit. The one year head start gap will also get narrower and narrower.

Guess 3: After one year, Activision and Ubisoft are already doing awesome in my book. Both are big and can afford to have divisions working on each consoles rather than making lousy port. Again, the one year learning gap is now over. Next time, you'll need a microscope to spot the differences.

Guess 4: Over 110 millions PS2 consoles sold and only over 25 millions nextgen consoles sold total so far (Wii, 360 and PS3). Over 85 millions waiting in the background, and awesome games coming out on all consoles... But they already own a Sony console... Hmmm, buying a 80 gig PS3, or buying another brand... Sure some will do, but out of those 85 millions, how many will buy a PS3 if games from third party are at least as good as the other console, but first party games blow their mind?...

[Bubble Buddy]

zzz unless ure God, noone can say who wins the console war.

[P4KY B]

I predict at least 20 comments that list all PS3 games coming out next year.

to mikeslemonade
Prove the PS3 is only using 40-50% while the 360 uses 90%. You can't. Your so called evidence is pure Sony propaganda which you swallow.

Wake up! Sony tell lies to get you to part with your money.

[mikeslemonade]

The NBA picture comparison is wrong unless they labeled the PS3 version as the 360 version or vice versa. In the screenshot the PS3 version looks better with better lighting off Nesterovic's jersey and more sweat. And more detailed muscle tone and veins.

It's also easy to say that the 360 is winning now when 90% of the system's hardware is being utilized vs the PS3 which is using 40-50% max. COD4 is a even match between the two, but the thing is the PS3 is using max 50% of the capabilities. Until there's a game that uses 90% on the PS3's capabilities this comparison shouldn't be done. Also every time a developer makes a good game for the PS3 they're going to network with other developers and give them tips too.

[eleaz14]

sony tell lies to get my money, you couldn't be more sarcastic?

lets see what you pay for 360 faboy ;)

You pay for Xbl(which is only slightly better then psn)
you pay for themes(we get them for free and can create our own)
you pay for WiFi (it's included with the ps3)
you pay for HD format (it's included with the ps3)
you pay for console repairs (lots of people have no clue there is a 3 year warranty)
you pay for Hdmi (it's included with the ps3)
the list goes on on....

[SlippyMadFrog]

Wow, and you didn't pay for those things when you bought a PS3? Sony is great!

[TheMART]

Short summary is the lines at the end about Assassins Creed:

"In short then, one word sums it up for me: gutted. Despite its undeniable array of shortcomings, Assassin's Creed is definitely in my top ten titles of the year, a testament to the sheer ambition of developers today and a tantalising glimpse at the technical possibilities of the games of tomorrow. The fact that this ambition doesn't extend to offering the same quality experience to PlayStation 3 owners is bitterly disappointing."

Which will do for all the cross platform games in general.

[360sucks]

when Assassin's Creed is in your top
that when your getting desperate for games
lol

[Killjoy3000]

haha YOUR SUCH A FANBOI.you do realize that ever since cod4 every crossplatform game has been the same as the 360 or perhaps even better in some cases right/oh yeah and you know whats funny?xbox has been out for 2 years and ps3 out for 1 lol stupid xbots will never get it.

[Double-Edged]

get ready for some...

A: List of PS3 games for NEXT year

B: "selling well even without games"

C: It's AAA+ in my opinion, screw reviews

D: EA sucks, Capcom sucks, Valve Sucks

[iceice123]

E. Lair is better than anything on ur console.

[REbirth]

you forgot the RROD...and to say that
E: sites like gamespot, ign, 1up were bought by M$!

[360Crusader]

... RROD and it still sells good.

[FF7numba1]

1.Its a fact that sony line crushes xbox 08 line up as of right now.
2.Most of EA does suck balls
3.RRod is really crippling the 360s image. RROD= aids for xbox consoles

[Bubble Buddy]

does ms count as selling a 360 if it was broken and repaired? cause if they did...

[360Crusader]

Better 08 line up you say? How can you say that Sony may have tipped it's future hand. But MS did not. So sorry we'll see in 08 who has the better line up. Till then speculate all you want.
And as far as EA sucking we'll see what people are saying once Army of Two comes out. Love and Hate 2 sides of the same coin.

[Pika-pie]

Its a shame other 3rd party devs cant give the PS3 the same amount of love as Infinity Ward did.

[xbox Forever]

360 is the undisputed winner of the future, people are starting to realise the FONY PS3 is dead in the water, all these great 2008 games will go multiformat apart from the (Halo beater) LOL, Killzone 2,

So stop fooling yourselves Fony Fanboys accept your fate as the 3rd place console

@rofldings - Did I touch a nerve

[360sucks]

that why sony sold more console
this week

[rofldings]

It's already started outselling your rrodbox, what's going to happen when the PS3's BIG games are released next year?

hm. 360 sales come down to Japanese levels in Europe/America?

do want.

edit: Funny, I recall you getting all excited when it outsold the PS3 in Japan for 1 week, what happened after that little buddy - oh right, straight back down for the PoSbox that it is. But you still haven't answered my question, the 360 has nothing next year that sells like Final Fantasy, or MGS4, GT, God of war, etc?

Please, take the microsoft d!ck out of your ass, they've always been a turd of a company and will always continue to be. Crap software / Crap hardware.

3

[iceice123]

Didn't it outsell it by like 108 or something? For one week...You're getting excited over that? Are you so quick to forget when the PS3 outsold the 360 in July? What happend after that little buddy? Yeah that's right, a dive back to the bottom of the sales, yet again. You know it can't catch up, flopstation is already dead.

[xg-ei8ht]

For games that use none to hardly any spu usage is funny.

And the funniest of all. NBA. The textures are clearly better on the ps3,its so evident on the pics. Conan looks and runs the same, cod4 looks and runs the same. Pro is crap(had demo on pc)we won't go there. Eurogamer says the ps3 is using higher contrast, wtf. 360 is known to have way to much contrast, shows he does not know what he's talking about.
Trying setting the capture unit correctly. lmao.

What about pro street on the 360, slowdown galore.Dirt slowdown galore.

lets see. R&C no slowdown. Uncharted best looking game by miles to anything on the 360, and again no slowdown.

So in a nutshell, 360 is better at running pc code. Nothing new here then. When created for ps3, it pisses on anything 360 has to offer.

And you know when the 360 is in trouble when its now being outsold worldwide by the ps3.

hahahhahahahahahhha.

[adalwolfe]

yeah, ps3 sales really outselling 360.. us 360 owners are soo worried they will steal the market! an entire 5,000 units a month omg!.. in about 166 years they might catch up to us!

after 2 price drops in its release year you'd think it would do better... appearantly not..

[gerrard]

Uncharted & Ratchet, Show me anything on the 360 that can beat them, nuff said!

[V2oom]

Thats a big fat b!tch slap to all you PS3 fandroids.

PS3DO

[blikz]

Round One.....fight!

[mighty_douche]

Xbox 360 vs. PS3 >>FANBOYS<< Face-Off....

f*ck sake, buy the console that appeals to you! dont worry about not having this or that. as the tiny features people argue over are either worthless or in the pipe line.

[felidae]

the days of the 360 are over. mass effect is the last breathe.

ps3 is the future of gaming.

sorry MART ;-)

[iceice123]

Is the furture of gaming then the industry is done for. No more great games then, no more innovation no more worth while anything.

But that's just your dumbass fantasy. PS3, destined to stay in third place this generation.

[mighty_douche]

dude please fill me in on the 360's inovation? from where im sitting i see none. wireless pads, thats about it which was done first on the GameCube with the wavebird. theres no inovation in the games, all the top titles are mainly PC ports, halo was just well, halo.

the only inovation that M$ seems to have made with any of its consoles is managing to get people to pay $50 a year for something thats previously been free.

[rofldings]

Really? The last time microshit took over an industry, we started getting the crappiest/buggiest/most vulnerable OS on the market, along with other crap software.

Now, they come into video game industry, make a PoS with a 33% failure rate ... use viral marketing against their opponents...

A future with microsoft only brings pain.

[eleaz14]

lets see 360 innovation Halo 3, Bioshock, Gears of war (Shooter, shooter, shooter...boring)

lets see PS3 innovation Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, Resistance, Folklore (Adventure, PLatformer, shooter, Rpg)

and don't make me mention all the things you can do with Playstation eye

[360Crusader]

Ratchet and Clank that game sucks. Whats it rated 8 year old or something? Yeah dont forget Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata and Lost Odyssey shooter shooter shooter. Oh wait jeez my mistake. I guess stupidity is a virus.

[blikz]

Who will be the winner???!!! The winner is.... will be back after commercial...XD

[jorellpogi]

ahehehehe. funny post. bubbles for you.

[picker332]

But wait till next year.
They are still learning the power of the p3 so...
It's gonna outsale the 360 next year!
Be sure of that!!!
And xbox Forever said:360 is the undisputed winner of the future???
The 360 had it's future already.It only lasted like 1 year.
trust me ps will always be better then xbot!
And always have been better,why change it now?

Peace Out!

[crank]

Call of Duty and VIRTUA FIGHTER 5, the much touted better looking game look GASP! exactly the same in screenshots, with the most minimal differences imaginable.

Seriously, you xbox freaks are a bunch of ******* losers. No joke, serious losers with no truthful opinions nor thoughts.

I am someone who respects both systems but gawd if it isn't easy to hate and revile people like mart, icewake, and zhuk

I don't ignore you because I don't ignore anyone but I am always curious as to what biased and redundant statements you have to offer next

Here is to toddlers like yourselves and huge microwaves, enough to fit you all.

Edit: my point is that fanboys are fanboys, I have been collecting games for a long time, and yet I am no fanboy, and what I see here is PS3 people ALWAYS on the defense, with people as mentioned making statements so ludicrous they need to be shot.

[candystop]

So tell us why are the Xbox fans wrong and the PS3 fans right because thats pretty much what your saying right? And also tell me if this story would have been flipped around would you have even called out the extreme ps3 fanboys which I doubt!

[crank]

LET US ALL MARK THESE FANBOYS' WORDS AND REMEMBER TO SPEW THE HATE RIGHT BACK WITH TASTE OF COURSE WHEN THE PS3 is number one in every conceivable way.

Here is to 2008 and beyond.

Edit: Notice I said with taste, and WAR IS WAR, you don't just stop bombing when the other team has been bombing you for about 1 whole entire year, xbox fanboys are among the most frivolous, inane, and disrespecting people I have ever met.

LIKE I CARE.

[Genki]

That's the worse thing people could do. Adding more fuel to the fire won't make anything better.

Hold your head high, refrain from such childish extremist bickering and SET AN EXAMPLE. Us not being as*es will hurt a lot more.

[pointystick]

Theres only 1 winner here and its none of the consoles. Its the websites that hosts these stupid comparisons as they know nothing causes traffic more than a flame war.

Its getting boring (and fast), people know which console they prefer and always boils down to which games they want to play on them.

[crank]

After looking at the PS3 VF5 pics I have to say the 360 definitely has the advantage in AA but look closely at the veins on the hand in the PS3 version. Very realistic and much better than the 360 version.

So? does it really matter, I do like the extra AA done, though, it doesn't matter in the heat of a fight.
I don't even own a PS3 so really, I don't give a **** either way.

And in fact these comparisons are waaaaaay more fair than the ******* stupid trailers in low def we see all the time.
At least this is a fair fight!

And they don't seem to have any bias whatsoever
I would be afraid if Gamespot was doing it....
And just going back here, what really well done articles they have in this format

FINALLY! someone actually doing COMPLETE COMPARISONS.
And what can we learn from this: IT'S ALL UP TO THE DEVELOPERS!
I don't understand why people are hating, IT'S FOR FREE AND IT'S BETTER THAN IGN'S HEAD TO HEAD

These comparisons are great and they truly put an end to the which one is better, and sorry to burst your bubbles, but this a service to a community increasingly filled with biased and unfounded hate. We can actually compare and come away with a valid opinion. Would you rather we have no true comparisons.

Edit again: NOTICE THE ASTOUNDING DETAIL IN FAR OUT TEXTURES
IN COM. 3 on OBLIVION OMFG!!!!! In the dozens of reviews I have read I have never read that the 360 version was THIS ******* BAD, and that speaks volumes about the bias here in america

THE 360 is a blurry smooth MESS!! though on a smaller note it has slightly better AA
OBVIOUSLY THE GAME COMMUNITY WAS MAKING A LESSER DEAL OUT OF A BIG DEAL

I SIMPLY CANNOT EVEN FATHOM playing the 360 version anymore ( I thought about it) that smooth grass is just too much LOL so sorry for you guys this is a top twenty game and you got the CRAP VERSION here is a link
http://images.eurogamer.net...

also take a look at the VAST DIFFERENCE IN THE WOOD TEXTURES HERE
http://images.eurogamer.net...

The landscapes look so much better and this being one of my favorite games.... I just have to say this is one game I wouldn't even play on the 360, that grass looks absolutely terrible there is NO DETAIL, gametrailers you couldn't even see this

CONGRATS EURO FOR EXPOSING OBLIVION AS GREATLY INFERIOR ON THE 360!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

(takes off fanboy suit)

ehhhhhhhh, YEAH!

[Genki]

like we don't have enough of that fecal matter floating about the internet. Thank you Eurogamer, you've done an impeccable service to the community with this one.

[PS3 Limps on and on]

Worlwide sales advantages are starting to really close up for 360. This despite the atom Bomb Halo 3, and some of it's best exclusive releases like Bioshock and Mass Effect out now.

Not to mention a $150 price advantage.

Blu ray is starting to take over as the High Defintion format of the future and making the PS3 the premier home entertainment experience of the future.

XBOX 360 fanboys have to point at the current remaining slew of average XBOX 360 to PS3 ports that look slighly better on 360.

When I saw that PS3 is outselling 360 worldwide according to VG chartz, accurate or not. I was shocked. The PS3 is just getting started XBOX 360 has Halo 3 out already.

[witchking]

So PS3 outsells 360 WW by less than 500 units. Yes, less than 500 units. The 360 has... what? A 7 million unit lead? How long will it take to catch up with 500 units?

Not that I care. I really don't give a sh*t who wins the "war." Am I playing great games? Yes. Am I playing them on more than one console? Yes. Who gives a damn which one is "better"... all I want to do is play some good games, escape into some good stories, play online with friends. I can do all that regardless of which console I slide the disk into.

Freakin' morons.

[PimpHandHappy]

you fanboys can go foam at the mouth. Maybe this will help you feel better about what system you bought and in the case of most 360 owners the system your mommy bought

personaly i love my PS3 and most ppl that own one love it also. All i need now is a 1080p to go along with the only true HD machine.

[Kaneda]

There are so many attacks from xbots...and so many PS3fanboys defending... :)

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!

[squallsoft]

oh geeze. these fanboy wars are getting really old. just play the goddamn games!

[Lord Cheese]

This is not a troll, but reading through this entire conversation there are only about 2 peoples opinions that sound like anything other than deranged fanboy rants. The ps3 is a good console. The 360 is a good console. For very different reasons. Neither console is actually harming your ability to enjoy the other (in fact, they are helping it, as the more innovative one company tries to be, the other has to try and follow suit). One has reliability problems, the other has a shockingly small list of decent exclusive titles. Both will be resolved in time.

The fact that people are arguing over small wins in terms of weekly sales shows how ridiculous the argument truly is. A weekly sales spike of one over another can be caused by anything! Stock shortages, a big game release, a major retailer doing a special offer, anything! And in the end it means nothing anyway!

M$ are a bunch of corporate money grabbers, and have a history of producing buggy software and operating systems. Sony are one of the most notorious companies in the world for backing ridiculous media formats that fail (betamax, minidisc, umd movies for example) and treated their loyal fanbase like utter crap on the leadup to the ps3 launch. Both companies could not give a flying fudge about the average joe who wants a game of halo or killzone.

Quoting a list of future releases means nothing. Those games could (and inevitably, on one or both platforms will) end up as a massive dissappointment. Shout about games you are looking forward to all you like, but until they see the light of day, and are proven to be everything you hope for, you're proving nothing.

Oh, and the "your mommy bought you your 360" comment? Thats quite pathetic - is this a schoolyard? I'm surprised you dont start saying they smell of poop.

[Parlivus]

Amen... N4G should just have a sectioned labelled "FlameBait" or "fanboy Garbage" where this news should be posted.

The PS3 will start to show its true quality next year, and the 360 will continue to do well. Its not that hard to grasp really? Its a piece of electronics made by a company that most people have nothing to do with, its not a relative, you should be happy there is competitiveness in the market still as it will only cause good things to happen.

[PS3 Limps on and on]

PS3 outsold XBOX 360 worldwide. I don't know how accurate that really is but that's just crazy sh*t.

That better be a mistake.

Remember some experts talked about how this Holiday possibly being the death for PS3, because XBOX 360 had Halo 3, GTA IV, And Madden 08 and Mass Effect and the greatest lineup of games ever?

Most experts thought PS3 was more suited for the future, but the sales difference this holiday could be too huge for PS3 to overcome.

You remember talk like that? I do.

But PS3 outsold 360 worlwide last week? I'm not being a fanboy, I'm just saying WTF is up with that?

[Bladestar]

Sadly this is so not what Sony promissed before the PS3 was released... Sony lead people to believe that the difference between the xbox 360 and PS3 games were going to be obvious... difference between day and night... more like comparing the P1 games vs PS2 games... who was going to say that we would need a freaken microscope to see which version look better? NOT once did I personally imagine any game being better on the xbox 360... Sony lead everyone too believe that the cell was so smart that a programmer could push all the keys on his keyboard and produce a master piece of a game!... wow! the best gaming console ever made... mmmm.. the cell... seriously.. sound nice... what do we have here? Game being produce on the xbox 360 are the same or more inferior... aside from the PS3 having blu-ray movie capabilities (asuming you care about it)... you are just paying more to play the same or more inferior games... I guess that's what Sony meant by "the cell being smarter than you".

[PS3 Limps on and on]

How many times do developers have to say that porting from XBOX 360 to PS3 is difficult?

Why do games like Ratchet & Clank Future and Uncharted look so damn good or run so damn well if PS3 is junk?

But everytime there's a showcase study where a multi platform game developed for 360 looks slightly better than PS3. It's like 360 fans travel back to the second grade. They forget everything they learned.

[gerrard]

Ignore these stupid xbots, the truth is most of those developers are doing lazy ports or are not giving the Ps3 the attention it deserves and they know it (EA anyone?), they come out with sarcastic comments like 'Sonydroids will say wait til 2008' because they know whats coming in 2008 and they're sh1tting their pants. They have also conveniently forgotten to mention the graphic superiority of Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank because theirs nothing on the x360 that can match them, so let them make fools of themselves with these silly comparison because we'll have the last laugh in the end.

[ldsfunaz]

Well Its been said the PS3 is harder to program for in general, so I'm sure that doesn't help out with the porting so much.

[IceVenti]

2005: when the 360 first launched, sony fanboys were all like, yeah laugh all u want now because next year the ps3 comes out, just "wait till next year"...

fast forward to 2006: the ps3 launches...with one good game, i can understand if a console doesnt have good games on day one, but then half a year later all it has is motorstorm and resistance? its overpriced and quickly gets dominated by the 360...sony fanboys go, oh "wait till next year" when we have lair and heavenly sword and stuffs...

present day 2007: *quote picker332*

I'm a ps3fan but i admit that 360wins this year!

But wait till next year"
They are still learning the power of the ps3 so...
It's gonna outsale the 360 next year!
Be sure of that!!!
And xbox Forever said:360 is the undisputed winner of the future???
The 360 had it's future already.It only lasted like 1 year.
trust me ps will always be better then xbot!
And always have been better,why change it now?

Peace Out!

*end quote*

damn...2 years of waiting? FOR F**IN WHAT? i buy consoles to play games not to wait 2 years to finally play games...half a year in 360 had condemned, call of duty 2, perfect dark zero, dead or alive 4, kameo, oblivion, fight night round 3....7 games in 6 months with 80 or high metacritic...7 GAMES WORTH GETTING IN ONLY 6 MONTHS OF THE 360s LIFE!! and thats not including the games worth getting on the 360 one year later : dead rising, F.E.A.R, gears of war, lost planet, rockstar's table tennis, saints row, test drive unlimited, rainbow six vegas, splinter cell double agent, viva pinata, battlefield 2 modern combat...
18 games to get in its 1st year

and the ps3 is a year old with maybe 8-10 games worth getting...maybe a little more if u add the garbage versions of great 360 games for ps3...

im not gonna lie, i used to be a hardcore sony person...i even hated on the "xbots" at the time, back when this place was ps3today.com, then it directed me here and now ps3today is back up..i hated the 360 so much and i kept thinkin, when the ps3 launches, 360 owners will shut up...so the ps3 launches and it was a disappointment and i had a choice to get a ps3 or a 360...this was the time gears launched and there was already a good selection of games on the 360 so i got that one instead..

like i said...i buy consoles for games...i chose ps1 over n64 because it had better games, i chose ps2 over xbox&gamecube because it had better games...and when the time came for this generation for me to buy a console, i chose the one with better games....and thats how it always will be..

oh and wasnt assassins creed a ps3 exclusive when it was first shown?..and was said to be on the 360 the next year?..that means ubisoft had an extra year for development on the ps3 and its still the inferior version?...wow...ps3 is so powerful huh?....

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

so u went from being one side of a fanboy to another. sad. so sad -_-.

It`s funny how Uncharted pwns all of the above

[Hydrollex]

WTH? I mean when a console can do Uncharted without framerate issues in those jungles all these mother fuking noob devs have to be shut up and try harder. Uncharted used 1/3 PS3 power. That's what naughty dog said

[Salvadore]

A really nice comparision.

[JokesOnYou]

micro paid off Eurogamer too, this whole post is lies and bs=

JOY

[Killjoy3000]

hey xbots....you know whats funny about our exclusives?....they cant be done on your systems lol

[Xbox is the BEST]

can keeep those average games. The only 2 AAA titles on the PS#3 is also on the 360, go figure. And why is it only 2 games for the PS#3 that have sold over a million worldwide? PS#3 sales rose the month of Nov. but the game sales remain the same. It is a Blu Ray player first game system second. Dreamcast died because it didn't have enough 3rd party support. If games don't start selling for the PS#3 expect more and more exclusives to be announced for the 360.

[redmamoth]

When games are developed for both the PS3 and 360, one of the two consoles will always draw the line at what is technically possible in the game. I think we have now seen what the 360 can do in terms of Graphics, wheras the PS3 is still 'warming up'. Unfortunately for PS3 owners, with Multiplatform titles we'll always be held back by the 360 and its non-scalable architecture, DVD Drive and HD-less SKU.

As for Exclusives, these will begin to soar ahead when the CELL and Blu-Ray media are fully utilised (Uncharted/MGS4/GT5P/Killzone2 ) but we will never be able to make a true like for like comparison.

360 owners will be stuck with their last gen DVD system with its expensive P2P online service. You can say what you like about the added value in xbox live, such as acheivments etc, but at the end of the day it is laggy as hell, and playability is what counts, not add-on frills around the edges.

The PSN will soon have more frills (Home), and it will continue to be free and provide DEDICATED servers. And finally, Little Big Planet will re-define the entire concept of on-line gaming and user generated content.

Now pick your dummy's back up off the floor and ask mommy and daddy for an allowence increase xbots, coz you're going to need it next year for your shiney new PS3!!! Its the future, I've seen it!

Flame on!

[Vip3r]

This getting retarded. The only difference between the two systems are that the 360 version looks slightly darker than the PS3 version. Does it really matter is one has an extra blade of grass or extra bullet mark in the wall. Just enjoy the games FFS.

[Lord Cheese]

careful there Vip3r. Speaking sense isnt allowed on here.

[deadshark1]

xbox 360 sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! microshits produce it so there u go ma bro phoned support coz his xbox 360 broke this is wat they said.

emm well try to fix it sometime buttt ehhhh we hav

[InMyOpinion]

Frustrated?

[Lord Cheese]

i certainly would be if i typed as incomprehensibly as that...

[jorellpogi]

Obviously deadshark1 is mad as hell :)

[artman]

what an argument here. the truth will reveal itself... bashing is just wasting your keyboard guys.

it is so easy for bring up the flame aren't they?
Check it your own, don't rely on websites or even blogs... those are just people looking for attention.

I'm still enjoying COD4. what a great game.

[Fighter]

2007 is the year of the Wii but in terms of true HD, next gen games the 360 has won this year simply because of more titles. Even the multi-platform titles were more reliable on the 360 thanks to EA's Sabotage of the PS brand. Don't pretend that you guys didn't take notice.

2008 and BEYOND is a different story. PS3 all the way including Blu Ray. The 360 will still have great titles but they wont have the same big numbers as the PS3.

[skylar2000]

It's so sad when people are not inform correctly about their console. LOL. American Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DarthTigra]

I am really enjoying this.

[Lord Cheese]

[jorellpogi]

We should make this fanboy template a sticky topic :)

[toughNAME]

surprise surprise

[CLiP5E]

I'm just wondering if anyone actually zoomed in on the NBA Live 08 and Smackdown images. I was shocked myself at the difference in terms of detail.

[Wefek]

Go Wii!!! Go and WIN THE CONSOLE WARS!!!!
YAY!!!!!

[THUNDERMARE]

One thing that still puzzled me for the most part is frame rate in AC.
I've been playing AC for several hours now on my PS3 but I dont see any frame rate issue that Eurogamer stated at all.... and i mean non, 0%.
However, I admitted that the freezing problem is there, but no dropping frame rate for me to the point where it makes the games almost broken like what eurogamer said.
Did I miss something??

[mjaruzel777]

..is the biggest virgin I have every seen.

[fredy]

you must wanna suck his Cawk then..

[zonetrooper5]

ITT: Trolls and fanboys.

[dalibor]

the ps3 is the best because its shiny

the 360 is the best because the faceplates can be changed.

i say this because as games go i think they both have great games & just have fun with either system you own.

[greenenvy]

next year is not gonna be any better for u guys even while PS3 sales take off, because the atom bombs are dropping......

splinter cell 5 followed by ninja gaiden 2, warhammer: battlemarch, dark messiah elements, Warhound, a freaking crysis killer, lost odyssey, fable 2, and too human plus halo wars.....

and you bet there's more in store then that!!!

KONAMI already saying if they don't sell 2 million copies of MGS4 day one, there's not enough to recoup the cost......well that's gonna be interesting, because I guarantee u splinter cell 5 sells 2 million on day one EASILY!!!!!!!!!!!!

and then lets see, battlefield: modern combat 3 in the summer and army of fortune in the winter 2008.......no, I really do think so.

everybody keep waitin' beyond, some dumb@ss fanbots are going to get their ass kicked next year from the sony foundation......

>:D

[FF7numba1]

MGS> Splinter cell
snake> whats his face
LO looking like solid 8.5
Warhound gonna break ya heart like ME
Fable2? what is this crap?
too human?? you kidding

How those you gonna beat resistance 2, killzone, MGS4, little big planet,home,White knight story and GT?

Killzone 2, a sequel to average shooter getting more attention and hype than the whole xbox 360 08 line up.

[SpinalRemains138]

my atari 2600 is way better than anything on xbox! The graphics on Pitfall 2 are so much better than Gears of War

[SweeneyTodd]

All of you whining little b!tches need to shut the fI_Ick up. Xbox, ps3 who gives a flying sh!t. Its not about the system its about the experience and the games. A true gamer loves videogames pure and simple. There have never been fanbots until the xbox appeared, produced by an american company, and go figure as soon as thats released it is , according to stupid americans, superior to the Japanese playstation, before yankees even knew what a videgame was Japan was producing them all. Its the same everywhere, yankee cars are supposedly superior to japanese and eruo cars, as well as machinery etc. You americans make me fvcking sick. Then they all claim, oh its the best system, why because it was porduced by americans? Give it up you are nothing more than machine fed fvcking cvnts. I recently had both systems, still have my ps3 and not my xbox360, why? Well because my xbox broke, tell me numbnuts how does a superior machine suddenly break if it is superior to the ps3. Thank goodness I traded it as soon as i got it fixed. At least I got the best trade for the xbox = one Ps3 controller and a cooling fan! haha even those two are worth more than an xbox.

[Big Jim]

Are you retarted? Try to follow what I'm about to say.-- The best selling console in America is the Wii. The Wii is made by nintendo. Nintendo is a Japanese company. Do you understand?
Very few people in America think that American cars are better than Japanese cars. Honda, Toyota, etc. sell very well in America.
Jackass.

[kngri]

I think PS3 has show it's quality all ready with games like uncharted and
R&C and the ones coming in 2008. Consoles power cant be measure with multiplatform games and ps3 first party lineup speak for them self.

[CrazzyMan]

hmm..
CoD4 looks almost identically, only that in some places x360 has better textures on the ground, though on one screen, there were better textures of wall in ps3 version. ps3 gets more rain and better long range, that`s not bad at all.. =)
so, it`s pretty close.
Conclusion: play single on x360 or ps3, play MP on PS3 because it`s free. =)

AC... somehow i think, textures are more detailed in x360 version, just a little more, but better. Though, there is ofcourse contrast difference.. And ofcourse frame drops, that sux.
Good game, only sad, that because of x360, after several years, when x360 passes, we won`t be able enjoy AC on ps3 as much, as we would on x360.

Anyway, 2008 should be a better year for a mutliplatform on ps3.

[XanderZane]

I own all 3 systems, so it really doesn't matter to much as to which system wins. As long as I get great games on all 3 consoles, that's all that really matters. I see a lot of fanboys spewing that the PS3 is starting to catch up. In Europe, it is, but worldwide it really isn't. Sony had to drop the price of the PS3 TWICE in less then 6 months just for the PS3 to start selling like it should. Even with these 2 price drops, the Wii and XBox 360 is still killing the PS3 in the U.S. That's pretty sad. Even though the PS3 has outsold the 360 in Europe and the Wii in Japan, it's not outselling these systems by 100K units a week like in the U.S. Gamers keep wondering why the software sales are so low for the PS3. It's simple really. People are buying the PS3 to play Blu-Ray movies on it and not games. It's as simple as that. That's easily explains why R&C and Uncharted couldn't even sell over 100K in it's first week on retail shelves. All, the XBox 360 doesn't have Internet because is selling the XBox 360 as a GAME CONSOLE and not a PC, like Ken K. kept calling the PS3. This is also why Keyboard/Mouse doesn't work using the USB ports. If I want to Net Surf, I get on my PC and do that.
As for the future, the PS3 has some great titles for 2008, but so does the Wii and XBox 360. People thinking there is nothing for the 360 in 2008 hasn't done their homework. Games like Fable 2, Banjo 3, Infinite Undiscovery, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Alan Wake, Huxley, Too Human, GTA IV, GeoW 2,Lost Odyssey, Cry On and Ninja Gaiden 2 will be on a lot of gamers must have lists, I'm sure.

When an article gets this many replies saturated with such raw idiocy (no matter which company you think you're a part of), it makes me embarrassed to be a member of this site.

[rootEXT]

This crap never stops, they both win. haha
only fanboys cares, gamers doesn't gives a rats ass
