My XBox 360 vs PS3 comparison (mostly technical)

Not trying to get into a argument with anyone but isn't it pointless arguing about a systems technical capability but not discussing the games that are on them.

The fact is people on this site are console owners and are loyal to one or more of the big three manufacturers systems. If tomorrow some unknown company announces a system that is more powerful than PS3, 360 and Wii I doubt any of us are gonna start singing it's praises and become converts.

All I'm saying is be happy with what you got. I don't own all three consoles but I as sure as hell would like to!! In my perfect world everyone would!

Obviously the games are ultimately the only truly important thing (unless the technical differences are tangible in other ways, as is the case for the PSP).  However, the technology is important in determining the kind and quality of games that each system can produce.  And we have spent some time on what can be done in games on both systems, and which system can do what better.  

Most importantly, though, this whole thread is not devoted to determining which game system is "better" in terms of games or sales, but rather it is devoted to comparing the respective TECHNOLOGY in each of the PS3 and Xbox 360.  So it would be off-topic for this thread to speak of fanboy loyalty, exclusives, other consoles, etc. 

And hey -- it's good to see a new face!  (AKA "Welcome to VGChartz")
