Comparing the PS3 against the X360 is like comparing the X360 against the Wii. The more advanced console is far superior in every single way. PS3 nails X360. In the same way the X360 nails the Wii. Purely based on a graphical analysis.

 

 Comparing a PC to a PS3 is the same comparison.

Comparing an Xbox360 to the PS3 is like comparing a Japanese Vtec to a 1980s V8. Sure one has more torque but engine size isn't the best indication on who will win a drag race.

We only compare consoles it is fairer playing field. PC is not a console. Comparing a $2000+ Gaming PC with a $400-500 console is not a fair comparison. PC's can be upgraded whereas the PS3 is stuck with the same specs for its lifetime.

 

Lets see, the PC smokes the PS3 in Folding, Rendering resolution, texture quality and frame rates. Lets make that clear from the start. In absolute terms the PS3 cannot compete with a decent $500-600 PC. Its not a $2000 gaming pc - that argument has been refuted more times that I can count.

Also in "fair terms" you have to consider that the fair market value for the components in the 40gb PS3 is about $650 if Sony and the retailer actually made a profit on selling the machine itself. If you try to refute this then I just have to compare the other aspects of the value differential, such as game cost and value of the other services. Either way $650 stands tall especially considering you yourself have used the price of Live as an argument against the Xbox360. The fact that both Sony and the retailer make up the difference from the games is NOT lost on me.

 

 



Tease.
