Xbox 360 vs. PS3 Spec Analysis
 
Quote:

When you break down the numbers, Xbox 360 has provably more performance than PS3. Keep in mind that Sony has a track record of over promising and under delivering on technical performance. The truth is that both systems pack a lot of power for high definition games and entertainment.

Well, the Xbox 360 can't be more powerful than the PS3, so this just has to be flat out wrong.

Kyuzo... er.... Sony, is going to come in here and talk about how Sony representatives..err.... his coworkers, have told him that SONY'S PLAYSTATION 3 is much more powerful.

Why don't we wait until we actually see what the systems do rather than videos before we jump to conclusions? I'm going to say this is a lie and PS3 is more powerful, but I'm not going to do the same thing most kids on message boards do and pretend they know what all these specs mean (unless you're a developer, you probably don't understand what everything here means to the development of a game), so I'm just going to wait.

Darren, that signature scares me so much...same with I believe its Crash's avatar. Thank god I missed the Ninty press conference :errr:

But anywho, without a playable PS3 to the public, its hard to judge who's more powerful. Right now its Microsoft because they PROVED what their hardware is capable of, whereas the other 2 just make claims.

I believe you fanboys are all going to see the power of the X soon. Don't fight the monopoly.

I'm tired of debating power. It means jack if the game isn't fun. End the dwelling!

I have two of my fundamental gaming beliefs going head to head here...

1) If it has numbers in it, and it's from sony, and it relates to how powerful their system is, it must be a flat out lie.

on the other hand

2) If IGN said it, it must be a flat out lie.


Grrrr, confusing.

In the wake of the consoles' unveiling, some developers are already leaning toward one platform.

"I was shocked by how powerful the new consoles are," said Julian Eggebrecht, president of the San Rafael, Calif.-based game development company Factor 5. "They should really free our development."

Eggebrecht said his company--which developed "Star Wars: Rogue Squadron" for Nintendo's GameCube--would create games exclusively for Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3.

The choice boiled down to performance, Eggebrecht said at E3 in Los Angeles. His company has worked with Microsoft's Xbox 360, but found PlayStation 3's 3.2GHz Cell chip offered more processing power. The additional performance allows the gang at Factor 5 to more easily simulate the real world for a better game experience, he said.


or, you could listen to Doug Perry of IGN XBox...

Had these same debates going on back when Dreamcast was going to be released before PS2, and sega fans brought up all these arguments claming the dc would still be more powerful. people need to just let go, the later system is usually more powerful.

ppl need to give up the power argument and fucus on the gaming. PS3 more powerful, but both will look great.

Darren, try to find a way to post without including my name in it.

And the PS3 is more powerful... this not coming from my supposed CoWorkers as Darren so eloquently pointed out.......... this coming from developers who've worked with PS3.. and on unfinished PS3 dev kits too.

Developers say it's more powerful and IGN editors doubt it because they can't explain why it's so powerful.... even the editors dont understand the numbers...

The PS3 and the XBox 360 seem to have two designs that go in little different directions. You are going to have games that are optimized for both systems and both are going to look great. It is still too early to make claims of one system being more powerfull than the other, although it is only logic that the console being released last will have more current technology and therefore be more powerfull, but none of us know that for sure.

I still think that you won't be able to find very many differences between the games of PS3 and XBox 360 when it is all said and done.

as far as graphics, there 'may' not be a big difference, thats not where the extra power lies. you will notice it in other things tho.
