Is It Safe To Declare X360 As The Most Powerful Console This Gen?

do you think it earned that title by now? I mean, on the account that almost all the multiplats are scoring better on X360?

Or multiplat comparison isn't the deciding factor on which console is more powerful?

Considering that the Xbox platform launched with it's best game (Halo), and the fact that Microsoft continually got it's butt handed to them from 2001 up until the launch of the Xbox 360, the expectations and scoring standards for that platform may be a bit lower than the Playstation format.

easily the most powerful.

the ps3's "power" is on paper using benchmarks never achieved in realworld applications... but it does make for some spiffy sounding hype with "TEH CELL"...

it has almost the same ring as "TEH EMOTION ENGINE"...:lol:

That is the fault of the developer and not the system. Frankly, I think that Sony AND Microsoft both did horrible jobs when designing their consoles. I am surpised at sony because PS1 and PS2 were great machines for their day. Microsoft has been making crappy hardware since the late 80's

This is true, however, having a far supperior CPU doesn't really mean much when that CPU only has access to 256 MBs of RAM.

Nothing, but is has everything to do with scoring standards. Gamespot, and other websites more than likely compare their experiences from Sony or Microsofts previous consoles when gauging their personal enjoyments and satisfaction out of the current generation. When they fired up Perfect Dark Zero, what else did you have to compare to? Nothing really, except maybe some of the previous games you enjoyed on the previous version of the Xbox. When it comes to the Playstation 3, well, a lot of media outlets may still be expecting Sony to deliver on those E3 2005 targets and promises. 

Just something to think about the next time someone claims that because a multiplatform on the Xbox 360 outscored it's Playstation 3 counterpart by a couple tenths of a point.  

ps3 7 cores are 3.2ghz 360 3 core 3.2ghz 7x3.2= 22.4 3x3.2=9.6deadmeat59

Boy are you massively misinformed.

SPE's are not cores. They are specialized processors made for processing highyl complex math quickly. The PS3 has one  3.2 Ghz core and 7 SPE's. The 360 has 3 cores clocked at 3.2 Ghz.

the PS3 and Xbox 360 will be so close to each other in graphics it won't be worth fighting over.

It will all come down to games and price, which at this point and time (and future IMO) the Xbox 360 already has it beat.

Graphics havne't decided the winners of the last two gens, so why would it now?

No... the PS3 looks more powerful atm. Look at the PS3 version of Oblivion; it looks considerably better.Metrovania

The second sentence in the original post mentions better multiplatforms on the Xbox 360. Figured I would point out that the standards are completely different.

I'm sure it did, but don't you think that if the standards are the same, the lack of online would drive that score farther down? Lack of online and it only scored .2 of a point less.

sounds to me like you're just a fanboy, but in my opinion you can't really tell yet some multiplat games do look better on the 360 but others don't and oblivion is not just as good as the 360's, it's better, just like the devs had a year to learn how to do games on the 360 they have to learn how to use the ps3's power, but there both great systems so whoever wins i win because i just wanna play good games it doesn't matter what console it's on.

Standards are completely different between the Xbox 360 and PS3? I don't think so. There are reasons why multiplats on the Xbox 360 outscored the same multiplats on the PS3, and no, the "standards" are not among those reasons. Virtua Tennis scored lower because there's no online play. Oblivion scored lower because it's basically the same game we all played last year with some graphical enhancements.

It's too early.  How dare you.  The PS3 obviously has the most potential.

Considering that the Xbox platform launched with it's best game (Halo), and the fact that Microsoft continually got it's butt handed to them from 2001 up until the launch of the Xbox 360, the expectations and scoring standards for that platform may be a bit lower than the Playstation format. TekkenMaster606

no, it's not safe. In the beginning multiplats had better gfx on the 360 (in some cases, arguably, like FNR3). Now the case isn't the same anymore. Multiplats are starting to look better on the PS3 like Virtual Tennis and Oblivion. We can't know for sure wich system is better based on multiplats.

It's on the exclusives we'll see the difference.

*heavy sigh* No...... just no ok. Stop....stop.

I'm just gonna straddle the fence, play it safe and just say that PS3 is easily equal to the 360 in power. Whether or not it's more powerful I will not say(mainly becasue I think it is too early to say), but the 360 isn't all powerful, king of the hill, lord of all consoles.
