Bottom line- Microsoft actually cares about their gamers, or at least they care about making the VERY best gaming system and selection of games that they possibly can, and they will do almost anything to further their gamers/their interests.

Sony could give a rat's a$$ about their gamers- they just assume that people will buy their system no matter what (they even said so, can't remember the quote exactly but it was one of the more arrogant ones). That plan is biting them on the butt, as we speak. They are still arrogant.

Microsoft is a corporation just like Sony, Exxon Mobil, American Airlines, Citigroup, GE, Boeing etc. and the one thing they all have in commos is they care absolutely nothing about me or you. The ONLY thing they do care about is investor reporting and the actuaries who report to the board decided that the cost of this warranty extension was less than the cost of a possible, and likely, class-action lawsuit in the future.

car analogies :roll:

Think what you will but the point remains valid. Why would someone get jealous or feel they are missing out because they have something that sells less?

because it causes publishers to shift resources away from their console. something that car analogies don't include.

Yet devs will still develop games on the 360/PS3. It's not an all or nothing situation. In addition, the first party games like Halo, GT, GOW, GeoW, Forza, etc. etc. will all still be there and have just as much devoted to them. So while someone is playing one of those games, or the games that simply won't be possible on the Wii I'm sure they won't care at all how many Wii's have been sold.

Didnt it take about 7 years for developers to be able to utilize every hardware feature of the PS2? And you'd expect developers to be able to use the Cell, something much more complex than the PS2 to optimize for, in about a year?

The PS3 is more powerful than the 360. Plain and simple.

Its a hell of a lot easier for developers to utilize the power in the 360. Will the PS3 eventually outclass the 360 once developers know how to better use it? Way to early to tell. It may be possible that the 360 continues its lead for a long time.

The difference is in 7 years the ps3 will be deader then George Washingon.

Doutbful.

[QUOTE="ramey70"]Will the sacrifices that EA had to make to get the 360 at 60fps also apply to the PS3? I'm not sure if anyone knows at this point, but I do know that EA had to get rid of helmet reflections and made the player models a little more fuzzy in order to get the 60fps. (FWIW I'd rather have the 60fps than either). LosDaddie

Have a link to these sacrifices?

Get over it, lemmings, the PS3 is more powerful. Conversely, get over it Cows, the PS3 may never be superior to the 360's graphics, and if it does, it'll likely be when no one cares about it it anymore and people will be hyping the new next-gen systems.

LosDaddie

The only thing both sides need to realize that 2 consoles with (roughly) the same specs (512MB RAM, 3.2GHz CPU) are on par with each other. Neither console with out-shine the other.

Cows talk about power. Lems talk about efficiency.

Another point to ponder is if even if the PS3 had some magical unlocked source of power with better coding what incentive is there for devs to make that effort? Why invest so much with such a small user base? For 1st party Sony games it makes sense, and maybe that's why they've been able to do more with the sytem, by why would it make sense for 3rd parties?

This is the third year Madden is on the 360, and it is only the first year that it is 60 fps.

This is only the second year Madden is on the PS3.

Its all a matter of experience with the development for the consoles. If next years Madden isnt 60 FPS on the PS3, then we have a problem.

asdasd

You're willing to wait 2 years for PS3 to catch up to the 360, eventhough the PS3 came out 1 year after 360? You're a very patient man.

Im picking up the 360 version of Madden. Not because I want to play in 60 fps, but because I want to play online with my friends and they only have a 360 :P

I was just stating that the devs have more experience on the 360.

You have to remember that it's hard for a lot of people to fathom some people have no bias and own both of these systems. I too am getting the 360 version, mainly for the superior controller.
