Forums - Gaming - PS3, arguably best system to date?

its sad that it was so biased, they both are good consoles.

wow, that was a pretty good fanboy rant. haha, was that written by an actual proffesional or just some forum person?

I'll list out my favorite parts of the article.

1. I love how when he compared price's, he compared the highest end 360 model to the lowest end ps3:)

2. I loved how he talked about hd-dvd as the disc's that xbox 360 used for games.

3. I was amazed at his detailed knowledge on how much storage a blu ray can handle. aparently, according to this article blu-ray's hold 80 gig's on a single layer:) (it's actually 25gig for single and 50 for dual)

4. I loved how in the comments below the author says he owns all 3 consoles. somehow, I have a hard time believing that. I struggle with people being ignorant about stuff they actually own...sigh... but I guess it does happen...



The article looked rubbish, but I would agree with the title



I refuse to click that link.

And for me, the PS3 would be one of the worst consoles I own. I only have three games for it and I only plan on buying a few more(LBG, FFXIII)

The N64 was probably my favorite system with the GCN a close second.



Well yeah we all know PS3 is the best console for your money, but it seems people would rather a PS2 with funky controllers (aka the wii) for $150 less.

Did you know that Spaghetti caused the great depression? It's argueable.

Go ahead.  Say it wasn't.  I'll argue it was!

 

If the Almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster caused it, it means that humanity deserved it!

Only if you count traditional features. Power, media features. Then yes PS3 at this time is the current lead in system design. However I suspect that the individual who wrote this would also insist that PS2 was the greatest because it's hit personal favorite. While if we were to compare the same use of values of PS2, Xbox, GC then XBox clearly was best last gen.(GC had the push power Xbox had more advanced rendering techniques, firmware, HDD, full classic PC ripoff online...)

If however you change your values to non traditional. Cost of operations, heat generation, diversity of games, accessibility, online security, more input that easier is to use, advanced input over archaic(pointer vs analog), cost for developing games.... then clearly PS3 is at the bottom of the list while the Wii stands at the top.

So who is right. Well that depends on what your looking for. I personally appreciate the features of the PS3 and 360 being a nerd myself. However the list of games for my age are far too limited. 3 games per HD system aren't good enough for a purchase.

All I can say is that as time goes by PS3 fanboys never change. Yes we had the Nintendo fanboys last generation doing the same thing, but due to the percentage of fanboys for respective systems last gen. There are just more pricks this time being more vocal. Though I suspect the percentage is about the same.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

Nothing will ever beat the SNES as the greatest system ever made.



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

I like my PS3 but I don't think it is the best system ... that lack of correct online integration and native 720p games (uurgh !!) prevent it from beating the 360.

 

Now that I own both system I believe the following formula is verified :

Console X problems++ == Fanboyism reactions X 10



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

This is creepy :D
