My XBox 360 vs PS3 comparison (mostly technical)

Well, MikeB might be a raging fanboy, but his numbers do seem good to me. Fazz's objections about the bandwidth of the XDR memory in the PS3 do not concur with the Internet research I have done. I am far from an expert on this subject, but I need a better explanation than Fazz provided before I am convinced that the PS3's memory architecture is not superior.

I don't see why 360 fans need to be ashamed that a console $200 cheaper and a year older than the PS3 is not as powerful.

Well i have no problem admitting it, it should be more powerful, but it is not more powerful all around, in some areas it is weaker, but mike b pretty much said it was inferior in every way, stating even the controller was inferior because it was heavier......, and xbox live was also inferior, in all pretty much he stated nothing in which the 360 is superior, and in some ways it is.

Example would be that the cpu on the ps3 is stronger but the GPU is weaker then the 360s GPU, but he didnt stat that did he....

 

Here's the thing:  Every time MikeB got to state an opinion, he worshiped the PS3.  Everything from the controller to the color was superior in his eyes.  But it is to his credit that he is able to mostly put away his fanboy worship when discussing actual numbers.  If you compare the introduction to the other sections of his post, I think you'll agree.  The times when he goes away from the numbers into his own (or his girlfriend's) opinion, the added pro-PS3 slant is quite clear, which is probably what made you notice it.  

As for the GPUs, if you look at that section, he did sort of admit that the Xenon was a better piece of hardware, but also argued that, considering the entire architecture each one was put into, the RSX is able to match it.
