THE Xbox360 VS PS3 thread

[MaleficZ]

I'll start off with this:

Much to the surprise of journalists, Sony came out with a bang at their pre-E3 conference on Monday. What started off as a dull series of generic demos and videos quickly turned into a jaw-dropping demonstration of the PlayStation 3's capabilities--completely overshadowing Microsoft's subsequent Xbox 360 press event.

.....

Make no mistake: the PlayStation 3 is utterly superior in graphics to the Xbox 360 from what has been shown.

.....

What really set the PS3 apart from the 360 was its lighting and shadow effects.

.....

The PS3 also seemed to have significantly more complex polygonal models than the Xbox 360. While the 360's rather disappointing Ghost Recon 3 looked like a minor facelift from Ghost Recon 2, Killzone on the PlayStation 3 was an eyeopener--undoubtedly the most beautiful looking FPS game to date (Quake 3 and Half-Life 2 pale in comparison). When comparing the graphics between the 360 and the PS3, the latter has graphics that are true to the phrase "next-generation" while the 360 seems more like a respectable upgrade (say, the jump from PS One to PS2) from the original Xbox.

.....

Still, in the end Sony stole the attention for the day. Microsoft's spark was clearly fizzling when it made its surprise announcement toward the end of its press event about working together with Square Enix& to bring Final Fantasy XI (of all games, one that's already been released on PC and PS2) on the 360.

.....

OK, enough about consoles, right after this direct comparison. This breaks things down in a more digestible manner. Something else about PS3 that sounded really cool: support for dual HD-displays. So you can have two 50� high-def plasma screens on your wall for a super-wide picture. Or full-screen head to head play. Or four players each with half a screen. Or...OK, you get it.

Oh, and the Sony provides 1080 progressive as well, which I’m not even sure pricey TV 's supports, but it sure would be cool.

[Q-("Q)]

Of course the Ps3 will be more powerful. Why would it be weaker if it would be released later? But does being more powerful even matter? There are more stuff then just having better graphics.
