Is it me, or are next generation consoles getting a little fruity? ;)

Well, a poll ready can't determine which is more powerful. One is more than the other...not an opinion. That being said:

from what I've seen, PS3 footage has looked quite a bit more impressive than XBox 360 footage.
I'm curious as to who picked XBox 360, and why?
MuGen

That would be Crash and Gamemaster, and I can only imagine why, considering they they posted.
That aside, thats not the final controller design. One of my friend's attended the Press Conference, and he saw 5 other controllers on the table but pictures were not allowed at that table. Because they were concept designs. They put the Moon or Banana controller with the PS3 as the concept final.

Is that controller serious???????? It looks absurd... Why change the form that's stood for 10 years without giving anything extra? Unless it has things I can't see.

ya know looking at that picture, it doesn't look too big.. prongs may be long but the controller may be overall smaller then usual.

The prongs probably make reaching the analog sticks feel more nature.

the more I look at the PS3 controller design, the more it makes sense
It looks like any hand size would fit nicely. If you have long fingers, you can slide your hands further down the prongs than someone with shorter fingers without any kind of discomfort.

I stopped looking at the controller and imagined myself holding it.... And i must say the awkward contours of the controller makes it as if it were a very comfortable playing experience.
Remember they have I M S -- Isolated Motion Sensor... the rumble technology for certain parts of the controller, making a more immersive experience. So they may have the motors on long prongs.
But imagine holding the controller.... It seems as if the prongs really don't bother anything.

I'm just not a fan of the analog sticks. GC and Xbox's had a better feel to them.

This picture helps me in my theory a little better. To Ken Kutaragi the PS3 looks a bit big, but he's a small man... To Kaz Hirai is was about the size of a PS2. Now look at the controller...
Compared to the unit next to it... it can't be that big.

E3 insiders are reporting that PS3 weighs incredibly light, no more than a iPod or deck of cards, I must say, Sony is stealing the show, but the only other attraction right now is Microsoft.
When Nintendo debuts, the clashing of titans will finally emerge...

Looks wise........I think it's ugly. Will take up a lot of room especially if you have 4 controllers. I have this problem with my Xbox.
However it may be comfortable.

I think it looks really cool. It's nice to see something new. Whether it's practical or not, I don't know. I have my doubts, but it's not worth worrying about, y'know?
Too bad they didn't add triggers.

I just looked at a spreadsheet of the specs of PS3 and X360 side to side, and Microsoft just lost by a milestone...... Check out GameSpot for this one.

It looks to me like the PS3 is only slightly more powerful. But who knows what area will make the most difference.
MuGen

Number wise the PS3 is only slightly more powerful, but considering the RSX GPU and Cell working together. Cell and 360's clock speeds may equal each other but Cell has so much more to offer, according to the press conference.
The cell chip simulated an explosion all by itself, with no RSX GPU.....
Anyways, from video footage from X360 and PS3..... numbers mean ****... the graphical push of PS3 a lot more powerful then X360... and i can say that SAFELY after seeing the press conference.

Which is more powerful, PS2 or XBox?
This is a silly poll. Why does it exist?
It's impossible at this time to truly know which console is more powerful. This has to be the most pointless poll in pointless poll history.
MuGen

It's so pointless that people have voted up to this point to decide a victor.
A lot of polls seem pointless, but they are there to decide what the general public thinks... in this one.. it's which console do they THINK is more powerful...
Stop crying cuz Xbox only got 2 votes so far....

We're not crying because Xbox only got 2 votes, we're "crying" because it's a silly poll. If it was "which console do you feel had a better showing" or "which online setup sounds better to you," then it is a better poll. This is like me polling "Who is more like George Clooney : George Clooney or Rosie O' Donnel?" The answer is extremely obvious, and the poll is rendered useless.
Is it too late to vote for Rosie?

That's remedial for even you Darren... a poll is a poll.... now matter how obvious the winner is...
You either vote in it, or you don't. All you do is waste your time just saying the poll is silly in the first place? Get me?
Ever see spammers come to the forum and say "this forum sucks balls!!!" Thats the same thing as coming into a poll and saying "this poll is so pointless"

I'm with Darren here, although I voted. :D
I think it's pretty obvious that the PS3 is more powerfull. I don't know who voted XB360...
MuGen
05-18-2005, 02:29 PM
Acebot, Crash and GM.... they still think Xbox360 can pull a 360 and make their graphics even better.
It's been confirmed the trailers of most Xbox 360 games were running at roughly 1/3 the power of the Xbox 360.

IF that's the case, then we BETTER be seeing games that look 3 times as good at launch...

I agree that the PS3 is the most powerfull system, was never a question. What makes the system are the games and you are going to have games on XBox 360 that look better than games on PS3 and vice versa. People won't be buying PS3 because it is more powerfull, if that was the case XBox would have outsold Sony in the current generation.
Even though the PS3 controller is ugly as heck, it also looks like their most comfortable controller yet.

I think I am going to like Xbox 360 better. I think that PS3 is going to be a little bit more powerful but not enough to tell any difference at all. I like the xbox 360 because it has Windows XP media edition which allows you to record television shows and is really good with ripping music on to the xbox. This time xbox will be able to get the track info instead of having to type it all in this time. you will also be able to hook it up to your comp and stream videos and music off of it. You can also connect your mp3 player and stream music off that and anything with a usb connection to it. Windows XP media center is so awesome. The games coming out for xbox 360 look really good too. We are finally getting Final Fantasy. And that is all that was holding playstation above xbox in the first place. Xbxo 360 will be better in my opinion.
:cool:

PS3 will have a similar form of connectivity and will even be able to attach your own HDD using their USB drives. You can also connect your iPod to it, and the PSP and other wireless devices.
The bluetooth connectivity allows for wireless keyboards and mice to be used in gameplay, confirmed by CNN.

You mean like a PC? WoW!
:rolleyes:
I have a feeling x360 will get the square support that Gamecube got this generation. i'd put money down on Square supporting PS3 WAY more then the other 2. Square has always loved the PS* and even if the others get the same games, i have a feeling they'll be made first on PS3, then more or less ported over to the 360, and less actually optimized for them.
