Breakdown of Sony PS3 vs Xbox 360 peripherals: Chris tries to sway opinions
July 31, 2007 | Filed under Gaming, Sony Playstation 3, Xbox 360
This comment was made by Chris on a post that was just a question from someone who loves their Xbox 360 but just had one problem.
What started off as a little question to solve a problem, ended up turning more into a debate again on the Sony PS3 vs the Xbox 360 as always.
We saw one comment from Chris that highlighted the Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 peripherals, in this comment Chris tries to sway opinions (not likely).
Here is the comment by Chris:
Mark, your first comment adressed to Ricky didn’t make much sense at all. No offense, but the failure rate doesn’t necessarily increase with how recently the console launched. To tell you the truth, the Xbox 360 has a much higher chance of breaking down than the Playstation 3, and even Microsoft acknowledges that. Now, I’m not going to get into mindless, non-intellectual talk like “Teh Xb0x 360 pwns!” or “Da SuxB0x 36o suxorz!!1!”, but when you actually take some time to look into the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 peripherals, the PS3 is an amazing console.
First off, a comment like “If you only looking for gaming, graphics, great choice of games and online gaming then there is no way anything will beat the Xbox 360.” is completely ludicrous. Let’s compare the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 first, then the Elite to be fair.
Graphics:
The Playstation 3 is a powerhouse, and focuses greatly on graphics. It’s highest resolution is 1080p, ready since launch, whereas the Xbox 360 was only capable of 1080i until a recent update. Next, the Playstation 3 has an HDMI output, while you can only get that otherwise by buying an Xbox 360 Elite. The PS3’s HDMI out port is v 1.3, a significantly higher quality than the Elite’s v 1.2, although the .1 difference may seem insignificant at a glance. Right there, the Playstation 3 beat both Xbox 360s.
Cost:
Right now, the premium Playstation 3 costs $499. The premium Xbox 360 costs $399. Let’s make the characteristics even, by comparing the features.
Standard Hard Drive. Playstation 3: 60GB Xbox 360: 20GB
The Playstation 3 has an upgradeable internal hard drive, allowing the user to add any compatible hard drive, such as the 200GB I upgraded to recently. For the Xbox 360, you need a Microsoft-made hard drive that only comes in 20 or 120GB.
Controller:
The Playstation 3 can use up to 7 wireless controllers, while the Xbox 360 can use only 4 wireless controllers. The PS3 has motion-sensitive Sixaxis controllers, yet the Xbox 360 was confined to wired controllers at launch.
Headset:
The Playstation 3 can use any Bluetooth or USB headset. The Xbox 360 uses the provided Microsoft headset, but other headsets are possible if you can try to get them to work hard enough.
Cost:
Playstation 3: $499. Let’s make the two even.
Xbox 360: $399.99
120GB Hard Drive: $179.99
Xbox Live Gold: $49.99 annually
Wireless Adapter: $99.99
High Definition DVD Player: $179.99 with the price drop.
All of this comes to $909.95. You could have gotten all of this in a Playstation 3 for $499, but the extra $410 to an Xbox 360 doesn’t hurt, right?
There’s lots of other aspects to add, as well. Playstation 3 users enjoy their consoles more, and use them more than the average Xbox 360 user. Studies show that the average Playstation 3 session is 83 minutes long, while the average session for the Xbox 360 is only 61 minutes. Like others have said, the 360 failure rate is between 30-50%, the PS3’s is 1-2%, etc.
So, have any opinions been swayed with the truth?

this article is the biggest joke, ever!
What so journalism is now getting posts from forums by some nobody who has an opinion? Why should we care what ‘Chris’ thinks?
I agree with Kimi’s comment, what a joke.
What a loser! I’ve had both…and now i only own one. I’ll give you a clue as to which: It’s not the PS3.
This is the dumbest article I have ever read.
With statements such as:
” The PS3’s HDMI out port is v 1.3, a significantly higher quality than the Elite’s v 1.2, although the .1 difference may seem insignificant at a glance. Right there, the Playstation 3 beat both Xbox 360s.”
I’m surprised you didn’t claim the PS3 did your taxes and gave you a hand job at the same time.
You have no clue about HDMI, nor do you know how to write an article. Go home to the land where Sony Fanboys roam.
Well that will certainly shut up loads of 360 fanboys. thank god. it really shows how the ps3 is a much better console for the price, than the 360.
awesome artical
Chris, I have to say there are some holes in your comparisons between the Xbox 360 and PS3, so I wanted to redress the balance of what is clearly a pro-PS3 and somewhat anti-360 opinion. I also happen to live in Europe so I want to point out some things from our end.
First off, your response to the comment that “If you only looking for gaming, graphics, great choice of games and online gaming then there is no way anything will beat the Xbox 360.” as being completely ludicrous, I do actually agree with. It is ludicrous to presume that nobody is going to ever be able to match, or better what the Xbox 360 is doing at the moment. However, in the here and now, The Xbox 360 is the far better choice for the serious gamer. The Xbox, in my own, and in many others, opinion has the best line up of games coming this fall of any console in memory. That’s not to say the PS3 doesn’t have some great games on the horizon, but a lot of their biggest games, like MGS4 and Killzone won’t be around till next year.
As far as the failure rates go, yes Microsoft has acknowledged the problem, and also taken steps to combat this, as well as providing a 3 YEAR warranty. PS3 has not been dogged with too many complaints yet, but it’s still early doors, and I know from my own experience with Sony’s previous products (working in the customer service department of a major retailer) that many of the faults tended not to materialise until the warranty had expired (especially the PS2 dvd drive). I’m not saying that this will be the case with the PS3, but I’m interested to see what happens once those first year warranties have run out. I am also curious to know where you got your failure rate figures, although I suspect they are sourced from internet forums and therefore I would advise anyone to take them with a large grain of salt
Right down to your comparisons:
Graphics:
Both consoles are capable of rendering at 1080p, and the Xbox 360 is no less capable of this just because the facility was added as an upgrade; just look at Virtua Tennis 3 or NBA homecourt. However, most next-gen games, as I’m sure you well know, but failed to point out, are being rendered at 720p natively anyway so it’s a bit of a moot point. Also, most lay-people would struggle greatly to tell the difference between something running through component and HDMI. One point I would make though, is if you look at one of the biggest games for both machines this year, Madden 08, the Xbox 360 version runs at 60fps whereas the PS3 one only runs at 30fps, and that does make a but of a difference, not a damning one, but one nonetheless.
Cost:
Right now the PS3 costs €629 (over $800), whereas the Pro Xbox 360 console costs only €399. As well as that, all Pro consoles come with at least one extra controller and 2 games in every major retailler, so that’s added value there. Certainly you get more features out of the box with the PS3, however, many of these features have no real benefit to gaming, such as wi-fi, HD movie playback and the larger HDD over the Xbox 360. Also, there is no comparison between the online experience with XBL and the PNP; XBL wins hands down. Sure you have to pay for it, however, I would point out that Sony, when questioned, have not ruled out charging for online gaming in the future.
Controllers:
The PS3 can use up to 7 wireless controllers. Now, please name one game that has support for 7 controllers. You can’t because there are none. Even if there were, you would be hard pushed to have a 7-player split screen. 4 controllers is all you really need in the home. You did however neglect to point out that the sixaxis is a design that is completely outdated. The xbox 360 controller on the other hand has a very ergonomic design and fits more natually in you hand. The trigger buttons and analog sticks are far superior on the Xbox 360. Sony do have motion control in their controller, but this has not been implemented well as yet in any game, and has come at the cost of force feedback (which I do know they may well be getting back), most notable when playing FPS and racing games.
As far as headsets go, Sony do indeed have the edge, being able to use any bluetooth headset with ease. But the Xbox 360 wireless headset is a fine piece of kit also, and at a fairly reasonable price.
I did have to laugh when I read that “PS3
This has to be the most ridiculous excuse for a news article. PS3fanboy.com is not the place to get your “facts” from Chris.
I didn’t know they were hiring kids to write articles these days.
I guess we best repeat how this post was started:
This comment was made by Chris on a post that was just a question from someone who loves their Xbox 360 but just had one problem.
We saw one comment from Chris that highlighted the Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 peripherals, in this comment Chris tries to sway opinions.
So we featured it as a post for Chris as his opinion, this is how he feels.
The featured comment is about Chris trying to sway opinions…guess he is not doing well (by the way Chris is like you, a commenter).
Looks like people do not respect Chris’s opinion (we all have them).
As you can see with the comments on this page, some people back him and give more information.
Others say he is wrong.
Right or wrong this is a nice post about one guy’s opinion on the Sony PS3 and Xbox 360.
By the way I own all 3 (wii, 360 and PS3) and love them all.
@Wayne
I think there could be a use for seven controllers in the future. Think less about FPS or racing split-screen games, and think more LittleBigPlanet type games. True, I doubt any developer will use the full seven, but at least it’s an option for them.
As for the controller design, I do prefer the 360’s ergonomics over the Sixaxis, but I kinda like the fact that Sony decided to stick with the old universal design instead of that atrocious ‘boomerang’ concept.
There are some sports games that use all 7 controllers I believe, such as NBA and NHL
This HAS to be one of the single most ludicrous ‘news’ items I’ve ever read. What a lot of absolute nonsense.
The graphics comparrison is particularly pant wetting. I stopped even reading it shortly after that bit.
It’s extremly disappointing that a website would pickup a fanboys comment and post it as fact or news.
This article should be removed.
One thing I do know for a ‘fact’ is that SCEA employ people to go on talkboards and come up with this stuff. It’s primarily done by the same people that are behind Threespeech.com, and that read suspiciously like a (very good) effort by one of them. Not saying it is, but I know such people exist and as I say, if it quacks like a duck then you should probably assume it could be a duck.
I’m not saying he’s wrong, just that ‘chris’ and his ‘if you forget about games, the PS3 wins hands down’ is very disingenuous, and where did he get his ‘facts’ about PS3 owners enjoying their consoles more? I’ve never read such a ‘fact’ anywhere, it certainly hasn’t been reported at any of the big gaming sites since the launch to my knowledge, so I have to assume ‘chris’ has access to some internal Sony market research. All the more suspicious…
Anecdotally, I cetainly don’t enjoy my PS3, it’s been a doorstop for the last two months because nothing’s come out. I *like* the PS3, and I want it to succeed despite the mis-steps it seems to keep making, but it needs games badly, and it needs to be cheaper badly, and it needs a workable online service badly, *that* is the truth. The 360 is far from perfect, but it is at least workable, the PS3 just isn’t.
Great to see the cold hard truth about the two consoles for once. The net is swarming with Xbox owners who never stop moaning about Sony and the PS3, it’s pretty pathetic some of the excuses you read as to why they think the Xbox is ‘better than the PS3′.
All you have to do is lift an Xbox 360 out of it’s er, box and it screams junk. If you can manage to find a place to put the black brick that comes with it somewhere you can turn it on. It maybe possible to hear yourself think above the RB 211 wannabe cooling system but then you’ll get the unbridled fun of scratched media, all that just before it crashes and burns within a few months. How people can defend this hardware disaster is beyond me.
The Whole Xbox 360 business model is total a rip off. What comes as standard with the PS3 you have to buy separately. The Xbox is dead in the water now in Europe anyway, just a cursory look at the Amazon hardware charts and you’ll find it languishing down at about the No.50 mark. With the PS3 riding high in the American sales now I think the XBOX has well out stayed it’s welcome.
I count myself as a 360 survivor, I found a way out.
What a crap article! Too bad its absolutely true, Xbox suxors!
PS3 fanbois are like a scratched CD - playing in an endless loop. Your comments are shallow.
GRAW2 isn’t even going to be out for the PS3 until the end of August (almost 1/2 year after the 360). Oblivion, Rainbow Six Vegas…the list goes on and on. By the time the PS3 gets these games…we’ve gotten bored of them and have moved on.
The PS3 continues to get delays on there games. Everytime - the PS3 fanbois speculate that “they’re gonna optimize for our CELL!”. Then, it’s released, and graphic and game comparisons between the 360 and PS3 are evaluated…the PS3 falls short again. So, all you’re *really* getting is delays. -enjoy.
I hear it from people like you ALL the time…
“I got my PS3 for “title goes here” exlusives…”
Then, a month later…you loose more exclusives…your list gets shorter and shorter.
There’s just so many of you HATERS out there. You’re oppressed. You’re favorite team is losing and will continue to lose…it’s because you’re on the wrong side.
Sony: “The next gen won’t start until we start it…”
Cocky…arrogant - that’s who you’re supporting.
I HAVE been enjoying the “next gen” games an entire YEAR before your PS3 even came out.
A year after the 360 came out - XBL has contracted with Disney, Warner bros…etc. The shear amount of Demos we can download is only on Sony fans “wish” list.
Now, I’m not going to say that the 360 doesn’t have it’s faults.
The hardware DOES break. I had my 360 for a year, and it died. But, I shipped it back to MS and they returned it…all within 9 days. (and they gave me a some free services as well - for my inconvenience).
Now, I have peace of mind for 3 years since MS extended the warrantee.
“I’m not saying he’s wrong, just that ‘chris’ and his ‘if you forget about games, the PS3 wins hands down’ is very disingenuous, and where did he get his ‘facts’ about PS3 owners enjoying their consoles more? I’ve never read such a ‘fact’ anywhere, it certainly hasn’t been reported at any of the big gaming sites since the launch to my knowledge, so I have to assume ‘chris’ has access to some internal Sony market research. All the more suspicious…”
I think Chris is referring to the research that Neilson recently revealed that the ‘PS2′ was still the most played console in the US last June. It gave percentages of how often the other consoles were played: apparently people on average play on the PS3 ‘longer’ than the 360. But what Chris failed to mention is that people played the 360 ‘more often’. In short, the research means diddly-squat!
YOU ALL NEED TO GET A LIFE.
I stuggle to buy into the argument that the PS3 doesn’t have any games and the 360 has tons. I own both systems, as well as a very dusty wii. All 3 were bought on launch day, (xbox 360 elite, so I’ve only had it since april) and I own 5 games for the PS3 (Resistance, Madden 07, Sonic, Dark Kingdom, and Oblivion) and 4 games for the 360 (Gears of War, Battle for Middle Earth, Lost Planet, and Guitar Hero).
With that in mind there should be many games for the 360 that are currently in stores that I should want, but there really isn’t. Dead Rising is the only game for the 360 that is already out that I am thinking about buying. Now I know the 360 has an awsome lineup for this fall. I’ve had halo 3 on pre-order for 9 months now and with mass effect, bioshock, etc coming out there are some games I’ll want to pick up by the holiday season, but not a whole lot right now.
For the PS3 there are at least two games that are out that I want; Motorstorm, and F1. I’m not really a racing buff but I’ve enjoyed the demo’s of both of those games.
So there are currently seven games for the PS3 that I want or have, and five for the 360. While I know that not everyone feels this way, and I know that the number of titles is higher on the 360 I don’t think that all of them are quality titles worth buying. Same thing for the PS3, there are several games that I would never think about buying.
I like the 360 but I like the PS3 more. I think the XMB is easier/quicker to navigate than the 360’s dashboard. I haven’t played a game on xbox live(I have a gold membership) since I got my 360. I tried a few times to play on gear but I didn’t have a map pack and I refused to pay money to buy it. I’ve played a resistance a few times online and enjoyed it, but I’m sure if I tried now I’d run into a similar problem.
Right now I don’t think there is enough software, or hardware features to seperate the two, and since they are at two different price points with two different value’s its hard to compare the price of the two.
Ah, but of the 5 games which you own for your PS3 - 3 of them are available for the 360, and only Oblivion is improved over the 360 version. You should have bought Madden and Sonic for the 360 instead - then again, perhaps noone should have bought Sonic
Here is a recalculation.
First lets mention that your 60GB is only temporary until the stock runs out. Then the 80GB will be $599 back to its original price. You can buy a Elite for $480 and it comes with the 120GB HD. Considering most people don’t have HD Ready Homes and are still using their old TV’s having a Optional HD-DVD drive is there for thoes who need it. And for $180 + 5 HDDVD Movies is a great deal considering HD DVD has more features and functionality then a Blu-Ray player. Also I believe they are bundleing them together for $660 so it’s not such a bad deal. And if you don’t want to buy a HD-DVD add on you can Download them instead for cheapper through the market place which in my opinion will out do HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. Online is free on the 360 you only pay to play with oter poeple and chat. I go online all the time and this is a no brainer but XBOX Live is better and worth paying for. It is not really worth mentioning or comparing their live capabilities. The bottom line is XBOX rules online and the ability to play with Windows Live player is a bonus. As for Wi-Fi sure it should have been built in but if you a serious gamer you already know hard wire is better. The controller issue is dumb so is the head set as both do wireless. Siaxxis is cool but rumble is still king. And if your that desperate for motion you can get your controller modded. As for graphics all I have to say is why was the question possed to Jack Trenton at E3 “why the games look better on the 360 as oppose to the PS3″. I don’t care what you got under the hood because it obvious that know one knows how to drive the PS3.
Just so you know, Oblivion and Madden are also on the 360 and came out first on the 360 just like 90% of PS3 games. and when compared to the 2 systems, xbox 360 was shown to have the superior version always even though it came out first. Just look at the recent review for PS3’s Rainbow 6 Vegas. Sony betted too high on brand recognition and over promise and has yet to deliver anything remotely innovative.
As for the games just look at this list and tell me what side you want to be on.

@Stephen
Man…you need to get some friends (I don’t mean this in a “mean spirited way”)
Rainbow six Vegas is waaaay too much fun with co-op play. You’re missing out (really)
Bleem is right, 3 of those games are on the 360…and was released a LONG time before the PS3. Oblivion had an additional year of development time before appearing on the PS3…and there’s still plenty of debate if it’s better than the 360 counter-part.
btw, Command and Conquer is better than Battle for middle Earth (IMO). The controls just feel more natural.
You’re paying for GOLD, but not playing multiplayer…well it still has its advantages. (early access to some content)
Have you ever loved a product or service and thought to youself “man, I’d pay a little extra $$ if they would include (or do) ”
That’s WHY XBL is so good. We’re all chippin’ in about $4 a month. Just follow all of the TONS of stuff that gets added EVERYDAY
http://www.majornelson.com
You’re helping pay for all the bandwidth of all the Demos…trailers, and other free stuff that gets added all the time. (not to mention the robust dashboard updates)
This is why Sony has openly remarked that charging for PSN is a possibility.
@Bleem
Yea, I think you’re right about no one buying sonic. I bought Oblivion for the PS3 before I had a 360. I put off buying a 360 for a while because of the hardware reliability issues.
@Greeter
I used to play halo 2 online alot, and then I started playing something else I don’t remember and I haven’t played online since. I know I’ll play online with Halo 3 and Fable 2, and $50/year isn’t that bad, but free is better. I think sony could still charge money for online and even though Playstation network is not as robust as live, it could become more comparable.
If sony stepped up and said starting January 1, 2008 the playstation network will no longer be free, it will be $20-$25 a year and each game you buy will give you an additional 2-3 months of service (depending on licensing fees and things of that nature) that is added on to the end of your service. So to alot of gamers would still get the service for free if they bought 4-6 games a year.
Now I don’t think sony would do anything like that, but since sony isn’t hosting the online games they don’t need as much bandwidth and server space.
I haven’t really seen a robust dashboard update. I had my 360 before the spring update this year, but I didn’t really notice much that changed. I do with I could get to the dashboard to see if friends are online while playing an orginal xbox game.
I have noticed updates to the XMB, while they have been huge, there has been some additions. A couple updates ago streaming media from a pc has become an obvious addition. Background downloading was something else that has been added.
I know the 360 can do these things but these are noticable additions, and there are some people out there that would look at these features and say that they are way late with them and copying microsoft. But if you want to go with copying the d-pad was invented a long time ago and I see it on my controllers, as were the joysticks. In this day and age parity is key. That is a detriment to releasing early. You will get a head start on sales, but you may lose some competitive advantage because competitors see what people do/don’t like and change change accordingly.
Ok I think I can clear it up a little more. First of I have both systems and plan on buying the Wii. I also own every other console from all three companies. I prefer my PS3 over my 360, and I’ll tell you why. First of all the Blu-Ray Drive isn’t just for watching movies, which no one has bothered to mention, it gives developers much more to work with. They won’t admit it but Rockstar could’ve sone a lot more for GTA IV with the PS3’s Blu-Ray drive if they hadn’t gone multiplatform.
Second, also something no one has mentioned is the PSP PS3 interconnectivity. I love being able to acces all the content in my PS3 from anywhere in my house or any wi-fi hotspot in the world for that matter, and now that you can also stream content from the PC with my PS3 it also means that I can Access it with my PSP from any hotspot in the world. To me that’s a big deal.
The other thing is Home, I’m in the closed beta right now and I gotta say that I love it, I was acctually a little skeptic at first but it is a great addition to the PS3 functionality. I had zero pople on my friends list before I got home and now I have close to fourty. In home I can interact with people that I might’ve never met otherwise. These are just points that no one else touched on.
As far as games go, yeah the 360 has more games but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are better games. I only have to games for my 360 and plan on buying two more before the end of the year. Halo 3 and Bioshock. I plan on buying several games for my PS3 Heavenly Sword, Haze, Unreal Tournament 3, Lair and Uncharted all of which are top notch titles plus Assassins Creed which is multiplatform. That’s another thing any game that ships multiplatform I’m buying for the PS3 because I’m not paying MS to play on-line. Someone who posted before me talked about getting titles way after the 360 got them well I just listed some multiplatform titles that you will have to wait for while I enjoy them on my PS# Haze and Unreal Tournament 3, and even when you do get UT3 you will not have access to user created content like the PS3 and PC users will. Take all that and the ability to store content on my PS3 and being able to put in any compatible HDD and the PS3 comes out on top every time. Oh and keep dreaming about getting MGS4 and Final Fantasy XIII.
@Stephen
Yeah, your right. “Robust” isn’t exactly the word to use.
Although I can still surf the internet through my 360 - and stream avi/divx video…it needs to be tightly integrated with the Dashboard.
>>…and $50/year isn’t that bad, but free is better
I completely disagree with that. I’ve been burned by too many “free” services. 99/100 - you get what you pay for.
As far as major services “copying” one another…I have NO problem with that. Make these corporate giants innovate! I want them to try to stand out…and then…I want them to copy each other on what works! (we all win that way).
The PSN doesn’t get near the demos and trailers as the Marketplace. They need to charge - this funds their division, and creates a focus group accountable for progressive content.
to the person that felt it prudent to list that erroneous list, 90 percent of that list is multiplatform or false(ie: umm 360 does not get a collectors edition of stranglehold)
and wow, you actually list a collection of board games? lol, seriouly, all the 360 has THAT IS EXCLUSIVE, is halo 3, mass effect and bioshock, thats all, oh wait i forgot scene it, lolo lololololol
my ps3 has lair, heavenly sword, uncharted, ratchet, killzone 2, mgs4, final fantasy, plus all the games you mentioned, moron oh and how could i forget: LITTLEBIGPLANET
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
FOR ALL YOU HATERS OUT THERE, ITS TIME TO PUT YOUR LEVELS UP OR SHUT UP!
WHAT, YOU CANT SURF THE NET ON THE 360, UNLESS YOU MOD IT AND VOID THE WARRANTY
HEY CHARLES, MAYBE IF YOU ASK A QUESTION LIKE “look at this list and tell me what side you want to be on” YOU SHOULD MAKE IT A 2 SIDED LIST, NOT ONE SIDED, GOD, YOU BLITHERING MORON, THE AUTHOR IS LESS BIAS THAN YOU
@hoser
Yes, you can surf the internet. Like I said before, it’s not integrated in the 360. You can install an add-on for Windows Multimedia 2005 (or higher).
There isn’t any “modding” involved. Why would I void a 3 year warrantee?
My first response to this article pretty much covers any responses that people like you make. You’re too predictable.
Halo 3, Mass Effect, BioShock…
What!? You didn’t mention Gears of War?? OH….because it’s not coming to the PC.
What!? You didn’t mention Viva Pinata?? OH…because it’s coming to the DS.
You can thank MS for that.
I have ABSOLUTELY no problem with the hottest XBOX 360 games going to the PC.
AND
…the hottest PC games coming over to the XBOX 360.
That is a positive FEATURE of the 360…not a negative.
not = now (Gears of War comment above)
@Manny151
Blu-Ray is still a disadvantage in the PS3. Why? Simple. Cost. Developers don’t want to develop games on blu-ray. The production costs are already way to high for a developer. Blu-ray disc itself is expensive (cutting into more profits). Rarely do the developers need more space - Rockstar, probably an exception. But, you’re also talking about a Mega developer…with a huge budget.
PSP connectivity? Not interested. DS has been fun.
Home - don’t know much about. We’ll see how that pans out. I have 86 friends on my 360 friends list…it suits me fine.
360 games ARE better…to date. Just go to any major gaming site, and compare. One exception seems to be Armored Core 4…
There are FAR fewer games that I have to wait for that the PS3 is getting. This is only because it was DESIGNED that way.
My point is that developers are continually delaying PS3 games - primarily because of how difficult it is to develop for…and, ofcourse, you have the few that are also designed to be delayed.
Still…the ones that the 360 owners have to wait for is only a drop in the bucket, compared to the PS3 game delays…and I think you know that.
Dreaming about MGS4? Nah…not interested. FF XIII would be nice though. However, the NEW RPG franchise that Square Enix is developing for (Last Remnant): Now that’s something to drule over! (and, ofcourse, it’s coming to the 360) - so we’re not being left out in the cold by any means.
when doing your price comparisaon you cheated. why would you buy a premium then buy a 120gb drive? you buy the elite first…oh that comes with a HDMI cable…Ps3 you have to buy it.
To Hoser
I think you need to tally up your exclusive list and do some research because all the #’s say that 360 has the most exclusives right now. The Wii is second and PS3 in distant last. The overall exclusive list to come out though goes to the wii 1st followed by 360 and of course PS3 last. As for the list I dropped talk to IGN about that i just coppied and Paste. And here is the bottom line. ALL MULTIPLATFORM GAMES LOOK BETTER ON THE 360 ALWAYS. So if you want to a shitter looking game go right ahead and get a PS3. Even Jack Trenton couldn’t deny it when he was asked at E3 why the games look better on the 360 then they do on the PS3 and all he did was blame the 3rd party developers. Even your boss knows it.
OK here is a PS3 list for the person who said I was being bias. You can look at both list and compare. The one above this is the 360 list.

Sony continues to rely on it’s brand, which is a huge weakness. Microsoft however relies on it’s quality software and high attach rates..
Which is why things like this happen..
Xbox 360 outsells PS3 by over 100%
http://www.xbox360wire.co.uk/2007/07/24/xbox-360-outsells-ps3-by-over-100/
its funny how xbox fanboys always find themselves heated up everytime sum1 reps the ps3. this article does make sence when u think about it!
Classified
Sorry to burst you Xbox bubble but the 360 sales have nosedived recently and the PS3 is sailing high.
I encourage you to check out the Amazon hardware sales figure in US and UK
Try and find the Xbox 360 in the list. The 360 has got serious problems now, not the PS3.
[url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/videogames/ref=sv_vg_1/105-8113541-7642858[/url]
Just check the Amazon sales figures for hardware they show how bad the Xbox 360 is doing.
Ps3 no1 Xbox nowhere to be seen. The 360 is in big trouble, in the UK Amazon sales it’s not even in the top 40!
@ charles, i still feel that the games that are on pc aswell should be taken off your list, exclusive means just that, EXCLUSIVE, and wait, what? all multiplatform games will look better on the 360? sorry, didn’t know you had a crystal ball, i agree on the early games, (tony hawk, cough cough, i bought that one for my 360, whew good choice) but you see you are a fanboy, i ask you 1 open your mind, 2 do some research, as an example, The Darkness looks better on the ps3, so not all multiplat games look better on the 360, devs needed time to get a hold of the hardware, and its starting to show, and dont call that fanboy dribble, if you knew anything about computer programming you would know that is true
and charles, next time just provide a link, all that shite is too much for the screen, i dont like scrolling 100 times to read a comment
@Jared
a) Amazon sales figures are subject to costant change based on supply, NPD data is the only acurate measure.
b) PS3 is experiencing a sales spike due to Sonys clearance sale on the 60gig model.
c) The 360 is experiencing a dip in sales due to the rumour\anouncement of a price cut later this month.
Sorry to burst your bubble but 360 sales will spike when the price drops and PS3 sales will fall of when they stop selling the reduced price 60gig models, but i’m sure you already knew that.
Um, ok thats all fine and dandy to know and all but it doesn’t explain the first comment…
“If you only looking for gaming, graphics, great choice of games and online gaming then there is no way anything will beat the Xbox 360.” And here is the reply to that..
Then he talks about Graphics controller and cost instead of talking about what was mentiond “gaming and great choice of games and online games” Why does he barely talk about this, all he talks about are graphics and the 360’s graphics are still pretty much just as good Plus the gameplay on a 360 is way better than anything PLUS stop talking about whos doing better with sales when wii is pwning all of them anyways
Think about it logically if you were Sony you’d take the Wii out of equation by claiming their in a different market, 2nd place sounds better than 3rd, and if you were Microsoft you’d play along so if and when Wii sales overtakes theirs they still keep 1st place.
If you’re Nintendo you couldn’t care less so long as you can keep outselling the others with a glorified gamecube with a remote control.
And thats how politic work too
One ot the letterz on my keyboard haz juzt ztopped working, zee if you can guezz which one it iz.
Good read.
PS3 > x360.
Wow…it’s coming up on 2 years. It just feels soooo good to be playing such SUPERIOR games on my 360.
Greeter is right - you PS3 fanbois are oppressed.
Comments like: PS3>360 is all you can post? That’s just funny.
2 YEARS of “living in the next gen”. 730 days of absolute gaming bliss…
Another 360 delay - caused by the PS3. Thanks PS3.
http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=127388
mothaf..k all fanboyz!
greeter it ws a analyst stating that its the ps3s fault but are you going to listen to him? he dont work for rockstar and he aint a developer. just a guy that gueses n sounds like he dont like the ps very much. I recall rockstar stating that the 360 version had limitations because they cannot design it with a HDD in mind because of the core model. but now microsoft has just revealed that some future games wil feature a symbol meanin a HDD is required to run the game. my opinion is that they are now optimising both versions more and on top of that redesigning the 360 version further to take advantage of the HDD feature. i doubt VERY much they will delay the 360 version by for that long because of another version. just doesnt make sence.
@ace
Perhaps your right. But, if it is the reason for the delay - it wouldn’t be the first.
You’re naive if you think that there hasn’t been a NUMBER of delays due to the PS3. LUCKILY, many developers went ahead and released:
DIRT - Released 7/19 on 360 (PS3 - September 11)
Oblivion - Released 3/20/2006 on 360 (PS3 - march 2007)
GRAW 2 - Released 3/6/2007 on 360 (PS3 - August 21)
Rainbow6 Vegas - Released 11/20/2006 on 360 (PS3 - June 26)
Strangle Hold - Release 8/27/2007 on 360 (PS3 - Sept 14th)
You obviously don’t follow the 360 gaming world like I do…why would you? You’re a PS3 fan.
But, if you had been following it, this is what you would have noticed:
360 games weren’t being delayed (at least, very seldom)…but once the PS3 entered the picture - we get delays ALL THE TIME now.
I could make a much bigger list of games that have been delayed since the PS3 came out.
Doesn’t this make sense? The PS3 architecture is known to be more difficult to program for - and their documentation to developers is poor. Some developers don’t want to “take sides” in the PS3 vs. 360 debate…so they delay both platforms. I can see this especially being the case with GTA IV - a previously time exclusive title for the PS2.
Again - I will concede to the fact that it may not be the reason for the delay. But, you also need to concede to the fact that it may be the reason for the delay.
Nevertheless - I much rather them have the delay and make it PERFECT, than play a buggy/unfinished game…reguardless of the reason.
@ace
Oh - and I am a developer…just not for Rockstar.
hey ima owner of both machines so i aint a f…ing fanboy. rite now i do like the 360 more than the ps3. but the ps3 wil get better and the next gen is stil young. my last comment was just my own opinion and i think it was a better one than this analyst. iv read all ur comments and u just seem like your just inlove with a machine!
i bet if sony made their machine like the 360 and microsoft made a machine like the ps3 ud b posting messages like sonys machine will be obsolete in a few years lol
happy gamin every1 (to non fanboys only)
watch i bet greeter has sumthn 2 say again lol i aint gona reply 2 ur comments cz i KNO wt u gna say. so just……….keep it 2 urself. infact go and play ur xbox insteda spending all ur time on here! out.
@ace
Oh, come on - little psychological warfare doesn’t work. Ofcourse I’m gonna reply…no “major insight” on that. You’re not as smart as you think you are…and you’re not fooling anybody.
You can choose not to respond, but we all know that you’ve read this comment…geezsh.
The bottom line is this:
I DO have “something” against the SONY (not the PS3).
1. Forceing blu-ray down our throat. I HATE that type of corporate propaganda.
2. As stated before: SONY: “The next gen won’t start until we start it”
I HATE corporate arrogance.
I hate these two points as much or MORE than you hate the “fanboi”…although, I’m not to keen on the typical fanboi either.
On the other hand, I’ve seen MS hand the next gen war rather gracefully. I’ve seen topic from majornelson (dot com) that BASH the 360 and it’s shortcoming (topics coming from MS itself). They have allowed so much critism about their marketplace and hardware - that I’ve gained respect for them.
Losing a billion dollars by extending the warrantee to 3 years was also amazing. They could have cut their losses…offered very little 360 support from now on, and got out of the gaming industry (would have saved 1,000 million $$)
MS has constantly praised the Wii and it’s innovation…that’s classy. PS3 has shunned them and disrespected them a number of times.
Majornelson (probably the top 3 HIGH PR at Microsoft) has said that he owns a WII, and a PS3. He’s talked about the games he likes on both platforms.
He said that before he started working for Microsoft - he was a gamer first…and that will never change.
Microsoft could have tightened his lips…and ordered him to always be pro-360 and nothing else.
Am I a fanboi? Well, I lean over on the 360 side…that’s for sure. But, SONY does NOT have my respect.
For the “SONY” fanboi that’s always asking “why all the hatred for PS3″…it’s not the PS3 - it’s the company that made it.
The PS3 is undoubtedly an all around technically superior machine. But, the grapics and gaming ability of the 360 is as good or better. The PS3s Cell processor is completely awesome - but it will shine in the backend processing for applications and number crunching.
Sony is a hardware company - it’s foolish for them to think that they can go up against a “software focus” giant. (and they created a machine that is more focused on the software/applications end). MS will always be ahead of them on the software.
If you really want an “end…to end all comment”, then look no further than my posts.
This “Chris” guy in the article surely didn’t provide it.
Wow, I’m extremely surprised that an entire article, and dozens of comments were added on a page just for me. I didn’t even want it to get out of hand, but Dan had to go and make a brand new article?
I’d like to get this out of the way. Not one thing I stated in my original post was untrue. It’s all an opinion, and I used legit facts. I compared upcoming exclusives that seemed appealing, (I did not mention Gears of War and Viva Pinata because they are ALREADY RELEASED. Please read next time), and many features that I sought to be necessary in this day and age.
This is my main point. This entire experience saddens me. Through this article, and the extreme exaggeration used to put it on the platter for this site’s numerous Xbox 360 fanboys to chew and spit on, I realized how radically defensive these 360 fanboys are.
You all should be ashamed of yourselves. I stated my opinion in one comment, and you create a golden pillar just for that one comment, for dozens of people to gawk at it? This is ridiculous!
I’ve had my opportunities and experiences with radical fanboyism, but this is a step up. I wandered upon a site where overly-defensive fanboys go through the trouble of creating and article based on one post with the intent of it being criticized? You all need to learn how to let things go, and not go to lengths just to prove your point.
In the end, this proved a point. Not the intended point, though. I’ve now seen how these fanboys will group together and rant about one comment, just one comment, posted by one opinionated person, in this case, myself.
You guys should think about the lengths you’ve gone through just to criticize one opinion. Just your average individual states his opinion, then an obsessed individual puts the spotlight on it. Then, thirty biased, closed-minded individuals don’t even acknowledge that the comment is an opinion, and they criticize it to fucking hell. You all need to get a fucking life, and end this goal of proving one godamn point buy ganging together against one person, one comment, ONE OPINION, and obsessing over one page of text.
Well one part of that article is complete BS, and thats the idea that the XBOX 360 didn’t have wireless pads to start with. It had them since launch.
As it stands, worldwide the XBOX 360 is the best seller of the two. Will that change, probably, but don’t put mistruth into an article.
The article completely ignores that the 360 does something that the PS3 doesn’t do, deliver movies via broadband. Blu-Ray won’t be a success because DVD will be last major disc based video format. All HD will be coming via the net, believe you me.
Also, I don’t want a Blu-Ray player, if I am going to have a disc based video format, I want a standard not something which is competing betamax vs VHS style.
There are several things wrong re-reading this.
1. Why compare the HDMI on the 360, and the PS3, then price the 360 model without a HDMI and add the 120GB HDD. Why not just price up the Elite, which has the HDMI in it?
2. Further more to the wireless controllers debate, and the LIE that the XBOX 360 only had wired controllers to begin with… which console is it that uses a wire to sync to the machine it uses, and has to be connected to it regularly as the pads forget to sync?
3. How much does it cost when the PS3 controllers battery dies and you have to buy a whole new controller rather than a new rechargable battery?
4. Which company lost the trust of many gamers by taking a load of pre rendered footage and claiming “This is running on our machine, right now”?
By all means compare the two systems, but compare them evenly.
plkrtn you got that a bit wrong. xbox is the best seller as ist been out far longer than the competition and was the 1st of this gen. that was the main reason i gota 360 i just wasnt willing to wait another year. I they all came at the same time things woulda been ALOT different and interesting.
the ps3 will be doin downloadable movies later. the 360’s downloadable service is only available in the US!
as for blu ray, this isnt competing againts xbox lives downloadable service but the HDDVD format but blu ray is already outselling. i thought HDDVD woulda been ontop just because of the name! if blu ray was a little cheaper i think it would win but who knows. its early days still.
plkrtn again lol you sound like u have never played a ps3! u may havta use a usb wite to sync but u only havto do that once until you want to use it in another ps3 unit. i dno bout anyone else but iv NEVA had to re-sync my controller. the xbox still does it better tho.
when the ps3 pads do die sony will repair free of charge. that was promised before the ps3 was launched.
about the pre-rendered footage. refer back to when ps2 was released. remember ‘the bouncer, tekken tag’ and otheres? they NEVA looked like their retail copy but still had alot going for it later.
my god stop sucking up rumours and think more outa the box lol both consoles are great! and hav their advantages and disadvantages.
