Pretty good post. I'd definitely agree with the Wii portion of your post from my experience, And for the most part your view of the PS3 is spot on. Good job!

I would like to clarify a few things:

1. Xbox Live does indeed have a free service, in fact Sony's marketplace is modeled after it. I could go in to debating which is better for what ever reason, but that is not the topic of this thread, it's only to compare the Wii and the PS3. I am merely clarifying some of the points made in your post.

2. The Xbox 360 comes with HD Component video cables.

One last point I would like to make, I'm a tech junkie and i don't agree that the PS3 is more powerful. It has more bells and whistles yes. but not more powerful. It's like saying the SC300 is more powerful than the Supra because it is a luxury car. Hell the SC400 had to more cylinders and still wasn't as powerful as the supra.

The PS3 utilizes an off-the-shelf video card where as the XBox 360's is built from the ground up for the console and comes with true next gen unified shader models. This gives the Xbox 360 a definitive edge in terms of graphic possibility.

Now the PS3 on the other hand has the CELL Broadband Engine. A processor that, also, was not designed from the ground up for a console. However it still works very well in the ps3 environment. The CELL has eight cores, as apposed to the xbox 360's three. Of these eight cores only one is a full featured processor primarily used to control the other seven. The other seven are very simple RISC processors used for advanced floating point precession. This give the PS3 a major advantage in the physics arena. The PS3 is very very good at calculating physics, unfortunately because of the simplicity and extremely limited instruction set in the RISC processors, physics is about all it can beat the 360 in. Most of the other stuff it is pretty close.

One area the 360 is able to pull ahead in will be AI because all three of it's processors are full featured, as well as capable of simultaneous multi-threading, giving them a total of six virtual cores, it can generate a more intelligent AI. Which is better graphics or physics? I guess time will tell.

Sorry for going off on that tangent but I wanted to clarify on one of the last posts you made. This thread is about the PS3 and the Wii, and from that point I agree with your conclusions.

Xbox still sucks, you could have the most powerful system in the world but if it only accepts shit I don't care about it. Thats my opinion and it won't change considering since XBOX1 has been out, I have liked 2 games on BOTH systems. Chronicals of Riddick and Dead Rising. Just my opinion so you can't argue it.. and honestly lets try and keep most the 360 stuff out.

Hey, nothing wrong with having an opinion, but don't be surprised when someone corrects incorrect comments you make about the Xbox. As you were the one that brought it in to the subject.

And for the record, I like the PS3 more, even if Sony let me down on several of the things they could have excelled on, I still believe the PS3 will be the better system.

  • Oh, one major problem with the PS3 Store is, while you are downloading you cannot do anything else. I heard its the same way for playing music files as well, like the PSP. I'm sure this can be fixed with patches but I haven't heard anything about it yet

  • teehee 360, allows you to go about your business as you are down loading or listening to music...there is a beneficial glith to it though. as 360 owners know, you cant access the guide while playing older xbox games, but! if you play music before you upload the game, it will play while you are playing the original xbox game, and you can change tracks by using the controller that came with it (if you bought the limited premium ones.)

I have to disagree. They won't be able to keep up with demand for awhile! I don't see how you come to this... especially with all the popular titles that will be driving it even more. Look how shitty the launch line up was, and people are still going nuts about it. Just imagine when it has the big games like MGS4, GT5, Tekken, DMC4, Killzone2, Army of 2, FFXIII, Warhawk, ect.

Of course its gonna take awhile to pass up wii and 360, probably a few years.
