Never, never use future-proof and 360 in the same sentence again. Do not forget the RROD, the E71 errors and all the other crap that it has come up with.

If anything is actually future-proof, its the PC.

PS3 is easily more future-proof then the 360, the HDD because of which Rage has an advantage, and better graphics too. Those 90 to 95 % of the games no one will actually buy all of them, and many of them are older ones now, so it doesn't matter.

The PS3 has it's share of hardware problems as well, besides that's about reliability. Futureproofing is something else.

Yeah, you can play the best looking games if you upgrade it, which is the complete opposite of futureproofing. That what you buy day 0 doesn't need to be upgraded to play games releases in 2 years time.

Doesn't matter how many people buy them as long as a single copy exists. All you can say is if you walked into a store, purchased Bulletstorm, Crysis 2, Black Ops you'll need the oldest console this gen to play them optimally. Hard drive or not.

No I stated it was the better console in every way besides Storage for the work he was doing.  That isn't the same as saying the 360 is the better console in his opinion as there is two distinct differences there.  One would be a personal opinion the other is his professional opinion in terms of development.  I understand given my pro 360 bias why you might think I meant that though.

Just a word of advice. Many people on here MikeB would give your comments and quotes more credibility if all the ones you favoured were not from PS3 only developers. It makes your arguement entirely one sided.

I'm just pointing this out to you. Having sat back recently, the world of BS on the internet is alot clearer.

Whagt it looks like in this thread, is you putting down world reknowned leaders in graphics, and promoting developers who have never been reknowned for it.

The guys who have always provided the top graphics have come from ID Software, Crytek and Epic Games. Putting these down like you have just fuels this entire threads arguements.

This is all just a bit of advice for when you next post a comment.

And? Reliablity matters a lot in future so it does matter in future-proofing. If my system fails every year that's hardly called future-proof. Oh and it did fail(for me at least) every year,

Carmack himself has said it that the HDD gives an advantage to the PS3, and the blu-ray, seriously what future-proof are you talking about in relation to the 360? It uses old DVD media which has started to show its age with Dead Space 2 and Mass Effect 2 already, even Castlevania has 2 Discs.

No one buys older games, and the small quantity that do, do not matter. There are more people now who have a PC that can run GTA 4 properly then people who do have a 360 that can run GTA 4 properly along with an HDTV. With time, more people start buying new PCs and end up getting temporary gaming PCs. So your so called "future proof" 360 didn't ever exist.

And now that its reliablity is restored, the multiplats quality on the PS3 is also getting better (the irony).

The only exception is Bulletstorm.  Even Mass effect 2 is the same on both and it uses unreal engine as well.

i dont care rage is lame anyways and ofcourse someone would rather make a game on the 360 cause its easier due to 360's lack of graphics

This year if you have observed 50 % of the games either look the same or run better on the PS3, or have some kind of DLC exclusivity. The only exception is Bulletstorm. Stacking, de blob 2, Dead Space 2, Marvel vs Capcom 3, Dragon Age 2, are all better or the same on the PS3 according to either lens of truth or digitalfoundry. There's like 2 games that are better on the 360. Even Mass effect 2 is the same on both and it uses unreal engine as well.

That's nice. I'd sooner have a console that might break that can run said games properly, then a console that never breaks and struggles to run games as well as the oldest hardware.

I niticed Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube had 2 discs and the PS2 version only had one, but still had inferior graphics. 360 games could be on 10 discs and it wouldn't matter, as long as the graphics are better.

Hell PS3 had an extra year of development for Mass Effect 2 and they still had to take out the AA and motion blur to get the game running as well as the oldest hardware.

Sorry, unless they bought their PCS in November 2005, they don't count.

What you find it ironic that the newest hardware this generation is running the utmost worst version of the software?
Xbox software has enjoyed this level of polish for years.

And Crysis 2 and Test Drive Unlimited 2 and Fight Night Champions and Marvel Vs Capcom 3, that's just the last 2 months, brin in 2010 and you got Mafia 2, GTA:EFLC, RDR, Bayonetta, Dead Rising, BLOPS..IT'S ENDLESS

Nope, it has no AA or motion blur on PS3...and its a year late.
