I agree, XBox was prematurely discontinued and all XBox exclusives were released early to push a maximum amount of XBox fans towards the platform within an as short as possible timespan. The 360 did not receive enough testing and planning, everything looks like a rush job regarding the 360.
I foresee troubled times for the 360, the PS3 indeed proving to be much more powerful, the PS3 proving to have a better longterm games line-up, Blu-Ray indeed pushing HD DVD out of the market. Microsoft's FUD and Hype will probably backfire, fans will feel themselves fooled for spreading the gospel. I know one fanboy (a game reviewer!) who publicly called me names because I stated RRoD problems were widespread and he repeated and furiously defended the Microsoft Gospel that hardware issues are within industry standards and only his and others launch units were flawed (eventually he couldn't handle it for being wrong, asked his account to be deleted, will others feel similarly?). |
Proving to be much more powerful? You mean with the multiplatform games with the majority giving the 360 the edge? If the PS3 was really a lot more powerful it would show even if games aren't developed for it first.

The 360 provides more tradional like technology, the later more demanding games are about on par. Early Atari ST to Amiga games were also slightly subpar, later games were far superior. Judge the PS3 based on current exlcusives like Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction and Gran Turismo Prologue (1080p) but take into account my sig below. Soon we will have Metal Gear Solid 4 (1080p), people will already know which platform is far more powerful this year, faster than was the case for the Amiga. |
How did I know you would bring up the Amiga in this conversation? What's funny is how you act as if Microsoft's position of using familiar technology and providing great developer tools to game creators is somehow a bad thing. BTW, I still haven't seen your response to Legend's link. You list a bunch of exclusives while Legend provided a link talking about multi-platform games. And for the last time, GT5p is not true 1080p. I've shown you the link proving otherwise multiple times yet you still reference it as being full high-def. |
The Amiga experienced similar proplems by introducing for its time revolutionary technology (learning curve). The Atari ST early on had a larger install base (cheaper) and a small headstart.
The 360 dev tools are good for Windows/360 cross platform development, but not good for porting to 3rd party platforms. In part how the 360 development is easier is by encouraging lazy approaches, easy to implement dev tactics but far from optiomal in terms of potential. That's why 360 developers will see greater results if leading their projects on the PS3, it encourages devs to be efficient and think out their engine structure well yielding performance wise far superior results on the PS3 and better results on the PC/360 as well.
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is a genuine 1080p game. It may not be FullHD, but it's certainly 1080p. The vertical resolution is more important to the human eye.
