Why does the PS3 version always have to be inferior to 360's?

I want to buy a PS3. The price is abit to high but its not the main factor in holding me back. Whats holding me back is why does the 360 versions always have to be so much superior ? I want to buy Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5 and Fallout 3 for PS3 but you know somehow the 360 version will always outclass it in some way. Look at the Fallout 3 score, or the user review of bioshock and so on.Are the 360 advantages real or over exaggerated?

The 360 while it is the cheaper console, when u add in everything you have to buy it just feels like a hassle. You have to get a hard drive if u get the cheapest model just to download demos and ect, you have to pay for online just to play other ppl, you have to worry about RROD, you have to buy a better controller if you want to have a fair chance at ppl in fighting games. Its always more money with the 360. :?

It is common knowledge that the PS3 is a difficult to develop for platform, games that are not developed specifically for the PS3 tend to suffer in some way. So when you port a 360 game to PS3 there tends to be quality losses, which is why many developers are now using the PS3 as the lead platform to minimize this impact.

In fact I recall hearing somewhere that a PC Cell processor add-in card was in the works to make developing PS3 games easier.

Because Microsoft is going for the "make our multiplat versions better than the competitions" approach, while Sonys sits away working on 1st party games. -DrRobotnik-

I think ps3 owners are fine with that, kz2 is shaping up to be a great game

Its much better than it used to be.

Most games are identical, then some games reviewers say theres a difference but to most of us it un noticable, some games like fallout 3 though are better on the 360.

i didnt want to name them all off:P

The differences are so small, practically negligible. I only see the difference when GS does these side-by-side comparisons. But if you play one game on a 360, and play the same game on the ps3, its not like the ps3 game is VASTLY inferior. Its usually like shadows or something like that. rsoxguy12

^This.

Occasionaly the PS3 version turns out better like Eternal Sonata or BioShock.

Sometime they turn out .013% inferior, but usually they pack in extra content to offshoot this :)

Works for me.

well in few cases i belive wii version is also more better in a few games especally sports titles and

quantum of solace 007, it offers split screen , which if you played goldeneye alot you know how awsome it was to sit and play with friends you actually know in real lifel ol , the wii version also includes online support , just like the 360 the only drawback is g raphics and a few modes are missing but i dont think i liked those modes , their hte same , with tactics in volved, i like the fast paced classic mode/deathmatch ,

so ya and to answer your question , i simply dont care whether or not the 360 has the better version because as of this generation you cant tell me games havent been shorten ,

no matter the console out side the first party titles of the 3 , the 3rd party in most cases has made shorter and shorter games in favor of graphics

gta iv for example, compare this to san andreas,

youll see that iv is smaller in mission count i actually got strategy guides, and i can count them each for both then add the side stuff , san andreas is clearly the biggest gta made,

test drive unlimited is probably the biggest third party game made that is free mode style.

its the whole island of hawaii not just a city and itll take you 30 minutes to an hour to drive from one end of the island to the next why they didnt port it over to ps3 is i dont have a clue , it is one of my favorite 360 games and id love to play it again on my ps3 burnout is farily the same compared to the 360 version , wwe series is also the same, if not better on ps3

Yeah and with that notion I would kindly ask for proof of a claim.

I was also thinking that the 360 and PC platforms are more lucrative froma financial standpoint as well as not requiring as much time and resouces. Being overly complicated and with the smaller user base coupled with using a different architecture then the other two.

Hence why I asked.

I almost forgot. Bethesda released a patch for the 360, right after they released the PS3 version, which fixed quite a few bugs, and put it on par with the PS3 version

never heard of ports?

and these multiplats are barely using the full potential of the ps3 hardware, just look at the ps3 exclusives for an example, they send multiplat games back a generation behind

The 360 while it is the cheaper console, when u add in everything you have to buy it just feels like a hassle. You have to get a hard drive if u get the cheapest model just to download demos and ect, you have to pay for online just to play other ppl, you have to worry about RROD, you have to buy a better controller if you want to have a fair chance at ppl in fighting games. Its always more money with the 360. :?
