Xbox 360 Vs. PS3: A Unbiased Comparison

Now before I start I want to say a few things. This is not a "360 rox0rs!!!!1!" or "PS3 pwns!!!" or even a "MS and SNY sux!! Nintendo ruls!!" debate, just a comparison. I'm not going to bring up the Wii. It is not because I don't like it, it is just because I never played the darn thing. Also, I'm not going in to a graphics or spec confrence, because a.) I'm not a spec tech and b.) I'm living in Standard-Def world right now. ALl right, now that craps over with, lets begin.

Console Appearance: One of the main things about you console. If it don't look good, why have it? Both look very sleek, but I think the design looks better on the PS3, but with the 360, removeable faceplates and new Gamer Skinz, the color scheme goes to the 360.

Console Exclusives: Each console has there own exclusive that would make their console stand out, so, here is a short list of exclusive for both consoles.

XB360: Halo 3, Forza Motorspot 2, Lost Odessey, Eternal Sonota, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Bioshock

PS3: Killzone 2, Gran Tourismo 5 Prolouge, FFXlll, White Knight Story, Metal Gear Solid 4, LittleBigPlanet, Haze

Controller: What's a console with nothing to play it with? Enter the game controller. Each have their own ups and downs.

360: + Best controller for FPS's, rumble, Xbox Guide. - No motion sensing capabilities what so ever, bumpers to tend to break.

PS3: + best controller for driving and fighting game in my opinion, SIXAXIS control. -Where's my rumble!?!, triggers (L2 and R2) fell like crap.

Online: Ah yes, the peice de ressistance, multiplayer. XBL does have the easiest interface and tons of bonus content, but (evan though I don't care about it but the cows do) there is a fee. PSN may suck for friend tracking, it is free, and Home may be what could bring it in the race for online.

Overall: The two each may have their differences, they are both quite alike each other. Only time will tell who wins.

Currently the 360 is a much better console (in terms of games and sales)...but the PS3 is catching up and has been ever since it was released (in games and sales)...but will it ever catch up?

Like you said only time will tell

Nice review. You stayed on topic and didn't share your opinion much.

Too bad your points are generic and don't bring anything insightfull to the table.

BlueBarad

if he had given his Opinions he would have been labeled a fanboy (lemming probably judging by his Avatar)...so opinions are a no no when trying to be unbaised

the PS3 is catching up-D3MO-

are you sure thats what PS3 is doing?

everytime i read such a topic title, i laugh.

and now i'm going to read your biased talk.

You didn't even mention Mass Effect as a 360 exclusive!cool_baller

notice how i said a verySHORT list of exclusive. sorry ME is on my mind 24/7. but your right MassEffect is an awesome game frome what ive seen

Who on earth has broken a bumper button on the 360 controller?

I thought it was going to PC?

But, whatever. I'm suprised the TC didn't mention hardware quality. Now that is an embarassing topic for the Xbox.

Were is Mass Effect and PDZ in that 360 list of exclusives :o Plus since you were strictly comparing ONLY ps3 and 360...360 has bioshock and ps3 doesn't, thats pretty important.Bromz

well I didnt put PDZ cuz it sux. Now for bioshock, the cows would stay stay out in the passturescreaming, "n00b!!! bioshock comin to P$3!!!!!!!1" which is just a rumor, which i hate dealin with. but youre right with mass effect,but i going to update it.

what is that? what are you hoping to accomplish?mistervengeance

to see if the 2 packs of fanboys could stop for 2 seconds to see how similar the two systems are

I think rumble still adds alot to games. Sixaxis has yet to be used effectly. Just look at the Lair reviews. Fact is PS3 is a better piece of hardware in some ways, CPU and seems to be more reliable which is a switch for Sony and their history of faulty hardware. Graphically 360 has advantages, with rumble, better gamesand a more comfortable controller for adult hands. I think this race will be more of a 30% split between all three. atarigrad

well warhawk was actually a good game, as said by gamespot

... 0.o? 360 best for fps?... i remeber a good ole mouse and keyboard was way better.Hitamaru-homia

notice how i said i was comaringtwo CONSOLES. the 360 is the best CONSOLE for fps's

im sory if i offend u but stop making threads like these, there are so many of them and i think that people already know which consoles they like and dont like

.....

360 is a slow freezy gamebox with quality titles right now. ps3 is a cheap blu-ray player with not too many great games right now.

that is an unbiased opinion for you.

Currently the 360 is a much better console (in terms of games and sales)...but the PS3 is catching up and has been ever since it was released (in games and sales)...but will it ever catch up?

Like you said only time will tell

-D3MO-

True that

Recently the DualShock III has been released, which gives better and more advanced rumble than the X360 controller. Therefore, the PS3 gains an edge

There are vastly more exclusives to 360 and all PC/360 games are exclusives as far as PS3 is concerned too

The list is infinite really, and Fable 2 is missing, plus FF13 is NOT a PS3 exclusive, it is on 360 too
