Xbox 360 vs. PS3 Spec Analysis

Had these same debates going on back when Dreamcast was going to be released before PS2, and sega fans brought up all these arguments claming the dc would still be more powerful. people need to just let go, the later system is usually more powerful.

ppl need to give up the power argument and fucus on the gaming. PS3 more powerful, but both will look great.

Darren, try to find a way to post without including my name in it.

And the PS3 is more powerful... this not coming from my supposed CoWorkers as Darren so eloquently pointed out.......... this coming from developers who've worked with PS3.. and on unfinished PS3 dev kits too.

Developers say it's more powerful and IGN editors doubt it because they can't explain why it's so powerful.... even the editors dont understand the numbers...

The PS3 and the XBox 360 seem to have two designs that go in little different directions. You are going to have games that are optimized for both systems and both are going to look great. It is still too early to make claims of one system being more powerfull than the other, although it is only logic that the console being released last will have more current technology and therefore be more powerfull, but none of us know that for sure.

I still think that you won't be able to find very many differences between the games of PS3 and XBox 360 when it is all said and done.

as far as graphics, there 'may' not be a big difference, thats not where the extra power lies. you will notice it in other things tho.

good point null

hideo kojima (he knows a thing or two about making good games) mentioned that with this next generation of games, he wants to focus more on the things you CANT see...

for example, a tree in a game can be beautiful. but it's still just a tree...if you give the player the ability to plant the seed, shine light on it and have it grow with its own unique attributes, it's something completely different...and it'll still look beautiful, graphics-wise

I'm most interested to see how the extra power is used for Artificial Intelligence.

But I agree with Link...I don't think the differences between the 360 and the PS3 will be large enough to account for a tremendously noticable effect.

I think you mean Solid Snake, not trying to toot my horn or anything.....

Also I wouldn't want Link miss represented.

I think your avatar is confusing everyone

But remember kids, if it doesn't shrug and walk away, then it's not the real Link!
