Solid proof the PS3 is a better system

 

 

For a moment, let's ignore that the PS3 has more room for upgrades and that its potential has yet to even be near-maxed. Let's ignore that PSN is not only good as Xbox Live, but that it's free. I won't throw dirt at Microsoft over their questionable business practices (homophobia and not covering the return of defunct systems comes to mind). I'll even lay aside the fact that recently the PS3 has been rapidly gaining on the other large consoles in worldwide sales and exceeding them in some countries (Japan). I'm only going to cover capability and past performance.

It's easy to dig up an entire library of graphics comparisons between the 360 and PS3 and almost every time, the Xbox 360 walks away the victor. Why? These 'comparisons' are done by comparing screenshots of multiport games, many of them games that originated with the 360 before being ported over to the PS3. The 'better' 360 images (which are really just darker and uniform-cut) are designed to accommodate the weaker system. A game developed specifically for the PS3, such as Killzone 2, will always trump a 360-specific or multiplatform game when it comes to graphics.

To prove this, we have to turn to hardware capabilities. The PS3's CPU has nearly triple the processing power of the 360's CPU. I'm not a mathematician, so I won't be going into the specific numbers behind this (an example can be found here), but suffice to say that as programmers adapt to the difficulty of programming for the PS3, the differences between the systems will shine on a larger scale. The 360 is the easy way out for now, but it has its limitations.

Performance aside, consider capability. You can use the PS3 to browse the internet independently, whereas the 360 is dependent upon being heavily modded or having to run it through a PC. Also consider what you're getting for the price. The PS3 comes with a hefty price tag compared to the 360, but it's worth it considering it includes a Blu-ray player, with unlimited storage to boot (via the new external drive capability). It plays normal DVDs and, if you want a larger game library, the older PS3 can run PS2 titles. You can't beat a Blu-ray player, gaming console, web browser and free multiplayer in one.

Now, the Wii? We won't even go there. It's a gimmick system by Nintendo, who have made a habit of making money through either additions or repetition. Each game needs a special controller or pad and most games are the same old plots with new characters (Pokemon, anyone?) or the same characters with no-effort new plots.

Vaio - "Bury me at Milanello"      R.I.P AC Milan

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird.
Now the world is weird  and people take Prozac  to make it normal.

If laughing is the best medicine and marijuana makes you laugh

Is marijuana the best medicine?

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

“If any creator has not played Mario, then they’re probably not a good creator. That’s something I can say with 100 percent confidence. Mario is, for game creators, the development bible.

that was quite the fanboy rant. You aren't convincing in the least, but at least you like your system. cudos

Only a small paragraph was dedicated to Wii bashing and it wasn't even a serious effort. How am I supposed to get crazy over this article?

lol wut



Okay, well that was interesting... I wouldn't go so far as to call that proof, however. I think the PS3 is a fantastic system, but the 360 and Wii are as well. Granted, I only own the PS3 but I would love to be rich enough to own all three. =D



The list could go on for how the PS3 is the best console this gen. How about the fact that it comes standard with Bluetooth controllers with integrated rechargeable batteries that can be charged while you are playing with the system itself as the charger?



I came to bring the pain, more hard to the brain
Tical... I'm bustin' that ass again
I burn like acid rain, that acid slang



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

PS3 is probably the best system. It's not the quality that people are looking for though it's the price and right now people want something cheap to keep their kids busy and happy.
