The only thing NTSC really did better than PAL was having a higher framerate. PAL had both better colour reproduction and a higher resolution.

For gamers this does present a problem - what is better? Higher res, better colours or faster gameplay?

Which is why us Europeans played the last few gens using PAL-60 output (60Hz updates, but still PAL colours/resolution) ;)

Lucky us that this analog madness is finally over now in the HD era and we all get the same benefits!
