PS3 exclusives have proven that its better with graphics than the 360.

Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2 and Uncharted are better looking than any 360 exclusive released so far, imo of course.

The PR has worked well... really well. When i showed my dad MGS4 for the first time he was astonished by the graphics and thought the PS3 was the most high-tech thing on the planet. Seriously, anyone of the "casual" gamers ive known who have got there hands on it, or see or hear about what it can do... are amazed.

The thing even helps to cure diseases and illness...


Metal Gear Solid and KZ2 have the capability to be played on the 360. You're arguing over space, not graphics.

capability or probability?

I know what you mean pal. I was trading in some games and a lad my age walked in asking the staff why it was 300 quid because he thought it was same as the 360. The worker said blu ray GRAPHICS!!!! I have no idea how he got his job lol. Then the customers mate called him an idiot saying "course its better it costs miles more" lol casuals.



Ynwa.

Capability. The major strength the PS3 has over the 360 is space. because the 360 has to share to share a processor for space and graphics. Together its equal to Sony's though, if it isn't using too much power.

Problem with that kind of PR is that the console is doomed to having to release superior visuals all the time. When a game on PS3 stutters or experiences slowdown or longer load time...and the 360 version doesn't, it always gives PS3 bad press.

Both xbox and PS3 had stereotypes to overcome. Xbox360 was labeled as a dumb PC and a shooter box...and MS has fought hard to move away from that stereotype. I think they may have done the job as xbox is perceived as an all-in-one kind of system at this point.

PS3 on the other hand still clings on to "most powerful" and "bluray makes the difference" PR. Notice how PS3 fanboys always need a hail mary title that they use as the new benchmark for visuals which are "only possible on PS3...

First it was Uncharted, then MGS4, Resistance 2, killzone 2...now its uncharted 2. The problem is that on average, games that both systems can play rarely come out superior on PS3...and the consumers can only be fooled so many times before they start to question if bluray and the Cell are indeed gods gift to gaming.

The common consumer doesn't know that though. And we are still yet to see a title with the graphical quality of either MGS4 or KZ2 hit the 360.

If you re-read my post i did say "so far" which implies there will be better looking games to come.

I have yet to see a game on the 360 like killzone 2.
