My XBox 360 vs PS3 comparison (mostly technical)

Mike, its easily known that ps3 is "little bit more powerful then the 360" in some areas, but your technical crap, is just showing off how much you love the ps3.

I would say it's quite a bit more powerful technically, however the XBox 360 has the short term advantage of having more in common with PCs, so it takes less effort to port or efficiently cross develop for both platforms.

I see myself more like a technology enthusiast. IMO Sony has made many good decision from a technology perspective, I am not saying this benefits the costs of production or makes development so much easier. But competent developers can push the hardware much further with less restraint and sacrifices. Of course this takes some time to fully manifest itself, as is the case with any innovative approach to new technology. This was the case with regard to for example the Amiga as well (at a time PCs and Macs were single tasking and most often monochrome systems, the Amiga could perform pre-emptive multitasking and could show pictures with up to 4096 colors simultaneously, most multimedia and gaming advantages took a few year to fully manifest themselves).
