That would never happen so why are we talking pretend?

The 360 is beating the PS3 in every single area so there's no reason to stop what's working.

Also, if there were a new Xbox presented, I doubt there would be little graphical improvements.

I don't understand where you are going with this? Isn't the PS3 a system with just minor graphical improvements over the 360?

And that's giving the benefit of the doubt that the PS3 really is better at gfx than the 360 is. Sure I think it has an edge but there are plenty of people here that don't.

Yes

Head to head the PS3 can't snag a single victory

I mean the only place Sony can claim is that the PS3 has more Sony made first party games and with the way franchises like Ratchet and Clank have been performing that's slowing looking grim as well.

New Xbox in 2011, which would be long enough, seeing that it was released Holiday 2005. Also, it won't be more than $400, believe it.

Uh huh, and?

Gaming is expensive

300 bucks is nothing when you factor it in over 6 years.

Nitpicking on small things, I suppose.

There's a difference between divided, yearly payments and one big payment.

But considering that the ponly worthy PS3 game is MGS4, that doesn't mean much.

Yeah I guess thinking that way you can buy every good game in the PS3 lineup for what I pay for XBL. Seriously though man how does money ever get brought up and I mean it's a lame argument no matter what side you are on here.

If you want to buy something with the money that you earn what is it to me that you spend money on XBL or on rumble or a $400 gfx card or whatever.

Money = lamest argument on SW.

No, but i doubt that would happen anyway. New technology is just round the corner with ray tracing, then there's multi-gpu technology which has improved alot for PCs since the PS3 and 360 were launched.

It dosn't really matter now though as graphics being the big sell point is slowly disappearing. You could proberbly get away with just a RAM update and a small performance boost and the 360 would be good for a good few more years.

Amazing what a few fan sites will do to pump up a game's rating huh?

It got a 7.5 here, not that great for the console's premiere platformer.

This is a bizarre scenario, assuming a new Xbox is released in 2 years; why would it cost so much and why would it be a minor improvement over the aging PS3?

Only aspects I see the 360 beating the PS3, as stated earlier, is games. I'll also add Live to the mix.

Ok, so we have the 360 winning in...

Games

Online service

I'd throw on media once the Netflix takes hold. There's content there that cannot be viewed on a TV. Until media starts being exclusive on BluRay that's not going to change.

[QUOTE="Mavrickkal"]Considering the required hardware improvements, would you be willing to shell out 600-650 for a new Xbox system with only minor graphical improvements over the PS3?Riverwolf007

I don't understand where you are going with this? Isn't the PS3 a system with just minor graphical improvements over the 360?

And that's giving the benefit of the doubt that the PS3 really is better at gfx than the 360 is. Sure I think it has an edge but there are plenty of people here that don't.

The Xbox 360 hardware design flaws are becoming more widely known (Not refering to the RRoD). From Disc Capaicty Space to HDD issues. True the Ps3 is only minorly graphiclly superior to the 360 it's hardware and design is greatly superior. MS knows this and has begun taking steps to correct it (Redesigning the the Dash for example.). But not all the of the issues can be fixed through firmware updates. Plus with the 5 yr Console lifespan approaching MS could be considering announcing a new system. To Match PC gaming quality and keep up with the design specs of PS3. It would easily be priced at 600 bucks. Thats why I asked the question. The 360 is a great machine but I don't see it outlasting the 5 yr mark by much. Now also take into account how long it's been taking devs to put out games for this generation of consoles and many people seem to think they would just jump on a new console without any gripes, I seriously doubt it. Devs I believe would much rather sit with this gen of consoles longer and really push the machines to their limits before moving on. But like I said before because of the 360's hardware limits moving forward even now devs are starting to embrace the Ps3. MS only solution would be to release a new system in the next 2yrs in order to continue to beat sony, but considering the price of the system in order for it to include all of the ps3's features plus more and be graphically superior would put the system at a very high price which could very well backfire.

True the Ps3 is only minorly graphiclly superior to the 360 it's hardware and design is greatly superior. MS knows this and has begun taking steps to correct it (Redesigning the the Dash for example.). But not all the of the issues can be fixed through firmware updates. Plus with the 5 yr Console lifespan approaching MS could be considering announcing a new system. To Match PC gaming quality and keep up with the design specs of PS3. It would easily be priced at 600 bucks. Thats why I asked the question. The 360 is a great machine but I don't see it outlasting the 5 yr mark by much. Now also take into account how long it's been taking devs to put out games for this generation of consoles and many people seem to think they would just jump on a new console without any gripes, I seriously doubt it. Devs I believe would much rather sit with this gen of consoles longer and really push the machines to their limits before moving on. But like I said before because of the 360's hardware limits moving forward even now devs are starting to embrace the Ps3. MS only solution would be to release a new system in the next 2yrs in order to continue to beat sony, but considering the price of the system in order for it to include all of the ps3's features plus more and be graphically superior would put the system at a very high price which could very well backfire.

With the wii being so successful and the casuals flocking to the VG market by the boatload... What makes you think ANY company will opt for "teh Power" next gen? :|

I still don't see how the Xbox 360 beats the PS3 in every category.

Only aspects I see the 360 beating the PS3, as stated earlier, is games. I'll also add Live to the mix.

"Only"? I'd say that's all that counts.

As a PC gamer I really shouldn't get involved in console Vs console, but care to list these 360 'flaws'? I recognise the heat issue, but you seem to be greatly exaggerating a few things along with performance differences between PS3 and 360.

Why would the new Xbox cost $500-600? That's Playstation style pricing. The new Xbox will probably cost $300-400. By the end of this year the 360 will have the best looking console exclusive game, so how would the future Xbox only be nominally more powerful than the PS3? If MS decided to take the route Nintendo did this gen and only release something moderately more powerful than the previous gen then what makes you think it would be expensive. If anything it would be cheap like the Wii and only $250 or so.

It's best to compare the PS4 to the next Xbox. Either way it's all speculation.

PS3 RSX - 550MHz core, 24 pixel pipelines, 256MB RAM

My guess on the next Xbox gpu...

Dual-core 750Mhz core, 2x 800 shader piplelines, 1GB VRAM, maybe 64MB on-die EDRAM. So basically a 4870 X2. Which would put it at about 4x as powerful as the PS3 or 360.

[QUOTE="Mavrickkal"]Considering the required hardware improvements, would you be willing to shell out 600-650 for a new Xbox system with only minor graphical improvements over the PS3?Mavrickkal

I don't understand where you are going with this? Isn't the PS3 a system with just minor graphical improvements over the 360?

And that's giving the benefit of the doubt that the PS3 really is better at gfx than the 360 is. Sure I think it has an edge but there are plenty of people here that don't.

First off being junk never hurt the PS2.

Plus how can any console ever match PC, seriously it's not and never will be possible.

Thirdly $600 is the kiss of death for sales you think MS is going to do that when we have all seen what it did to the 3DO and PS3?

Also forever long dev time problems is almost a PS3 exclusive (45 month KZ2 and 2010 GT5 as an example)the 360 being a gimped PC makes it easy to work on so what everyone tells me is a negative has worked out pretty well for me personally so far.

The bottom line here is not only is the 360 not losing devs it is still getting games that have been Sony mainstays for years and all this doom saying is the same stuff I have heard for the last two years and it's all still nothing but a load of hot air.

[QUOTE="qman101"][QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]

That would never happen so why are we talking pretend?

The 360 is beating the PS3 in every single area so there's no reason to stop what's working.

Jaysonguy

Every single area?

Yes

Head to head the PS3 can't snag a single victory

I mean the only place Sony can claim is that the PS3 has more Sony made first party games and with the way franchises like Ratchet and Clank have been performing that's slowing looking grim as well.

You sir have failed

A) Why would it cost that much? you seem foolish just to say such a thing.

B) why would it be a minor improvement? PC's right now can destroy PS3 in graphics. 2 years from now they will be so far ahead it will be crazy.. the new xbox will be on the cutting edge of those improvement...expect a huge leap

Dude, look at your name and avatar. Do you expect people to take you serious?

He's not making stuff up, what he said is all true.
