I have a feeling this will flop like a fish out of water.

| Samus Aran said: Nintendo must be working magic then as Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, Yoshi's Woolly World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Super Smash Bros. Wii U look far better than similar PS3 games. Even gamecube remasters (Wind Waker HD) look better than similar games like Sly Cooper HD collection and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (a game built from the ground up for the PS3). LittleBigPlanet 1-3 run at terrible framerates for a 2.5D platformer. Constant 60 fps should be a must for such games. Playstation All Stars Battle Royale runs at 720p and can't even hold a firm 60 fps while Super Smash Bros. Wii U runs at 1080p and 60 fps even when 8 characters are on screen at the same time. Modnation Racers looks a lot worse than Mario Kart 8 and runs at a meagre 30fps while Mario Kart 8 runs at a solid 60fps. Ratchet and Clank into the Nexus is a 4 hour game that can't even hold 30fps most of the time... Super Mario 3D World looks a lot better with a perfect 60fps. Xenoblade Chronicles X has a much bigger overworld than any PS3 open world game and it looks much better than let's say Skyrim. Of course the PS3 has games with better graphics than XBX, but those aren't huge open world games. |
I'm not agreeing with bonzobanana, but many of those are really dreadful examples. Stuff like MK8 provides some of the best graphics the WiiU has to offer. The same can't be said of any of those PS3 titles.
I can understand that there's a limited list of games on the PS3 for some of those specific genres (making direct comparisons hard), but comparing SSB to PAS is like comparing ZombiU to Halo 4. The dramatically different pedigrees of each play a large role in the gap between them.

Off the top of my head, Mirrors edge, Burnout PAradise and Final Fantasy 13 categorically show this statement to be false, a large majority of xbox 360 multiplatform games did look better than the ps3 counterparts, but claiming that NONE look better on the playstation 3 shows either tremendous bias or a serious lack of knowledge. |
I think they're both referring to Xenoblade X rather than Xbox. That would fit the context better at least.

doesnt really make it any more true, though

And then you have Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction, a 2007 PS3 game running at smooth 60fps with graphical fidelity matching all nintendo games you mentioned

I won't disagree with you there, but Materia-Blade recently stated that "neither set of pics has an obvious winner for graphics" in regards to http://i.imgur.com/adNPXPQ.jpg (TW3 maxed on PC vs XCX), so it's not an argument you want to bother having.

XBX = xenoblade X

No. (And the following is being generous to R&C as its almost certainly a bullshot, versus a raw capture from 3D World)
