Funny thing i noticed about the 360 and PS3

Sony is constantly trying to catch up with Microsoft and what they have to offer over Xbox Live.(Software) Even though Sony is better at a few things like being able to copy pics, music, and movies to the HDD which is awesome but thats beside the point, not sure if that counts as software or hardware.

While Microsoft is constantly trying to catch up to Sony with hardware (HDMI, Wifi, etc)

It seems like they both have strong points, with their weak points being the others strong ones... See what i mean? Just thought i'd share to see what you'z gamerzz have to say :)

Ya you do have a point there.

Interesting, but for the most part, they're actually very similar consoles with only a few minor differences.meetroid8

I already know that, but yes, that's pretty funny, would be more funny if they were equal in those areas...

Only this gen.

I still don't understand why Sony went with beefy hardware this gen though. Like, did they look at the success of the Xbox last gen and say "we need that"? :?

I'm just hoping the motion controls kick off, and both can offer two unique experiences.

With Windows Media Center, Windows Media Player 11+, and USB Flash Drives, it is very easy to view movies, pics, and music on you Xbox. With a CD or USB, it is possible to transfer them to the HDD. The ZUNE Marketplace also has a selection of music and videos to watch/listen too.

Just my thoughts though. I do think Sony has done a great job with the hardware, and with PSN so far. Microsoft has come a long way since the start of the generation also (Kinect, NXE, Design, etc.), and if they can put more resources into first party I think they will have a great Next Gen.

Edit: I also feel like Sony didn't live to their promise with the PS3. Cows may disagree but performence wise the 360 and PS3 are very close. Uncharted 2 looks a better, but doesn't blow away 360 games running on a multi-platform engine (Gears and Mass Effect 2 IMO).

I'm not trying to be a fanboy, just stating my opinion :?. HDMI should have been included, and WIFI too (every console besides the 360 had it, including the Wii).

The 20 GB wasn't enough because of how Xbox Live turned out. Full Game Installations were added, XBLA Games became A LOT bigger (from 50 MB --> 1 GB!).

The main thing Sony and MS are trying to do right now is play catchup with Nintendo and Motion Controls.

[QUOTE="meetroid8"]Interesting, but for the most part, they're actually very similar consoles with only a few minor differences.Kokuro_Kun

Neither console had amazing launch line ups. In fact, I don't think any console ever has. It just takes time to get the libraries going.

I certainly think all systems have strong points and weak points. Being a fanboy about a particular system is simply immature.

Only this gen.

Blu ray would have failed without the PS3, that's why they did it

Dreamcast did.

It launched with a 10, a 9.9, and a 9.2

[QUOTE="Pug-Nasty"]

[QUOTE="Kokuro_Kun"]I can somewhat agree but if you look at Sony's lack of software at launch and Microsoft's lack of hardware at launch, it really shows how much they pay attention to each other and us gamers in general. Their both slowly becoming more alike, which will make for a more interesting battle next gen.Raymundo_Manuel

I stand corrected. I can't say I know anything about the dreamcast. I'm pretty sure that someone in my barracks had one when they came out, but I never saw any games on it, or even the controller in his room.

well yeah, it was stated before

Microsoft is primarily a Software company so Software, O.Ss and Networks services is in their D.N.A.

Sony- specialise in TVs, Stereos, Music, movies, and hardware.

But both lack flair

thats exactly how i feel

I have both PS3 and 360 and in my opinion my PS3 wins hands down. But it didn't until I got my HDTV. On standard def TV's i'd say the 360 wins and I know its stupid to say something like this cos its nearly the same just better resolution. But when I got my HDTV and an HDMI cable, the PS3 really unleashed. Its not just a console for me now its my whole entertainment centre with the best blu ray player on the market and for some reason PS3 games look a lot better in HD than 360 games. U2 looked unbelievable so the I thought Alan Wake would too but it didn't leap off the screen like I was expecting.
