wow... how paranoid is that post. I'll wager that Wii is down again next year.

Just goes to show the extent the industry will go!

It was a joke too, in case you didn't... well... yeah.

Ok, I said it was stale but I'm going to leave this "food for thought" with you guys.

What makes these two consoles similar, I'll name the similarities....

- 3rd party games. - Not a choice of the systems, but in fact, the developers. It doesn't make the consoles "twins" because the developers chose to put the same games on two consoles. This could have been done in any gen btw.

- Graphical capabilities. - Although they are similar, the two can produce, and in most cases do produce, very different products when the other one isn't involved in the development. This was the case with the Genesis/SNES, the case with the Saturn/PS1 and so fourth...

Now, what are the differences...........

- Controller. - NOTHING alike.

- Online. - Again, pretty much two completely different set-ups, with a few similarities.

- Disc functions - NOTHING alike.

- Size. - PS3 used to be bigger, now that has dramatically changed.

- Features. - Similar features, in fact very few similar features. Hardly a reason to dub them "twins".

- Disc Media. - Blu-ray vs DVD. Speaks for itself.

- System specs. - lol....even this is completely different. Cell vs Xenos - different. The usage and amounts of RAM - different, though similar. Where they are different, they are VERY different (unified structure vs non-unified structure). The 360's GPU wipes the floor with PS3's. . The PS3 can do things with physics and animation not achievable with the 360, in other words, hardly "twins" at all.

As I said before, I agree to disagree. As I've been saying, the term is mostly used when judging each console's library. That's a developer thing, not the systems themselves. With this knowledge, I'll never label them as "twins".

They aren't siamese twins and not all twins are identical. They have far more in common that the PS2 did to the Xbox 1 and far less in common with the Wii.

The controller is the same like a left hand drive car model is the same as a right hand drive car model except for the placement of the steering wheel and a few other things.

They have pretty similar overall performance and 90% of games look identical. This has never happened before in the history of consoles. Their graphics cards are made to two pretty similar standards. Both the RSX and Xenos are different implementations of Direct X 9 specifications whilst the CPUs are both different implementations of the same POWER 4 architecture for the most part.

Never before have two consoles been so easy to port between

Never before have two consoles shared such a similar library of games.

Also theres the habit of combining their sales to compare to the Wiis

Tease.
