Think about it.

If a Xbox 360 came out right now, with tons of new features, and PS3 wasn't going to come out for 6 more months, what would you do?

Would you wait for 6 months while everyone else is talking about how great Xbox 360 is, all the great new games.. or would you wait the 6 months?

I would give in, and get Xbox 360.

I think release date definitely affects how well a system does.

First of all, it's not 6 months. 4 at most. Second of all, yes I would wait. I'm not going to use XBox 360 just because the console I want isn't out, I'm going to wait. The fact is that people buy consoles spefically for the games, if they went for the power then Xbox would have the market now and PS3 would have it later. That is why I will be getting the PS3 and NR, and not the 360. Because I want to play the games that come out for those, not the 360.

Well, how come you say Xbox is better than PS2 when PS2 came out 2 years before Xbox?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by chuiu on 2005-05-23 at 20:09:15
I didnt say that. How much power a console has does not define how much better it is compared to others. The PS2 is better than the XBox.

P.S. How would these stats for my new computer (which I'm planning on increasing as prices come down) compare to the XBox 360?

CPU: 939-pin AMD Athlon-64 3500+ (hopefully a 3800+ / FX-55 by summer's end)
Ram: 2048 mb DDR-400 PC3200 Corsair XMS Extra Low Latency
Hard Drives: 2x 120 GB Western Digital S-ATA 7200 rpm with Raid 0-striping
Video: 256 mb GeForce 6800 GT (which will turn into 256 or 512 mb GeForce 6800 Ultra)
Sound: Sound Blaster! Audigy 2 ZS (maybe ZS Platinum later?)

Those are the essentials, but I've chocked full the case full of everything you can imagine. wink.gif It is looking so sweet right now.

Yea, i read in the newspaper some time ago which compared the stats of the ps3 to the xbox360. And sadly, ps3 owned the xbox....

But like someone said earlier (i think), it's not how good the system is that counts, it's how the good the games are that count.

Better games? Thats based on opinion. Better features, we don't have a comprehensive list of features in both consoles yet, but as of right now PS3 shows that it has more capability to have better features, it already supports more players and games than 360 does.

Okay the way I see it, is that the Playstation has been around longer than XBox. It was a big hit and was around for years, but then they stepped it up a notch with Ps2. But XBox's first try was major ownage and sold WAY more than Sony could imagine. Then Sony came out with the Psp, but that still didn't work. Sony has made three consoles, and Microsoft has only made one, and it's still on top with a majority of the people. I just don't see why you guys are wasting your time with Ps, because XBox is the pwnerz!!1four!!11!1!!! toot.gif

haha, I serioulsy hate people who still think that Xbox has pwned in sales. To tell you the truth, Xbox is the least sold in other countries. Sony is still pwning in America with a wide variety of games but Xbox is just pwning with PS2 games stolen and changed into Xbox games, or just like 5 exclusives.

Also,

So, basically, you're saying Sony is stupid? Killzone should be the least of my expectations for Next generation games... WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY RELEASE SOMETHING THAT WON'T MAKE A BIG IMPROVEMENT? Same with Microsoft then. Sony's PS2 is about 35 more times powerful than the PS2 and the graphics would be so much better. I'd say if Xbox was better if it really was, but in my opinion, I think that PS2 is better.

Wow...I'm actually considering going for the Ps3.
I stuck so hard to the Xbox because, hardware wise, it was undeniably the champion, and thus had much greater potential.

But with Ps3 actually winning....wow.
My world has shattered...


I KNOW! I'LL JUST GET BOTH!
tongue.gif





Im not sure if this was in this thread or not, but someone mentioned the Nintendo Revolution being able to play any Nintendo game ever released...
Is this just rumor/speculation? Anyone?

ADDITION:
**I personally hope that no company ever puts another out of business.
The longer this ongoing war between the three giants continues, the better it is for us gamers. Competition=Improvement.

Games and systems will evolve and develop faster, and by general rule of thumb:
The more companies battling=the cheaper the prices.

If Microsoft was to slaughter Sony and Nintendo, (or buy them....heaven knows they have enough money), Microsoft would be free to slack off, and focus more on making money than on putting out a superior product, with only PCs as competition. Inferior hardware, and ridiculous prices for everyone. Not fun.

The same thing applies to the other companies. Competition is a GOOD thing, so don't condemn anyone to death! ANYONE!

ANOTHER ADDITION:
...I'm going to cry...
Ps3:
QUOTE
The RSX also has 512MB of graphics render memory and is capable of 100 billion shader operations and 51 billion dot products per second


Xbox360:
QUOTE
CPU Game Math Performance=  9 billion dot product operations per second




9 to 51....Wow. I'm not very technologically minded when it comes to computer processes...What exactly is a dot product operation?

And why the hell is Xbox360 is so much lower compared to the Ps3?!


YET ANOTHER ADDITION!:

A, It's not nice to hate, period;
B, That is a very stupid thing to hate someone for. If he had, say, murdered someone close to you, by all means, hate him. But because he believes something that isn't true? About a game console? Come on, man, have some tolerance!
C, I like to list things.
D, He didn't say that Xbox had way more sales than Sony. He said that Xbox had way more sales than Sony EXPECTED.

A company with no hardware history such as Microsoft, jumping into the game that late, Sony/Nintendo weren't expecting as much competition as was experienced from the Xbox.


ANOTHER FREAKING ADDITION!? DO YOU NOT HAVE A LIFE!!?:

Ps3 has double the overall system performance than that of the Xbox360. I am losing faith fast. mad.gif

I would buy the 360 for Halo 3 and The Elder Scrolls 4 alone, if only the price wasn't so steep...400$? I could get my HD, RAM, and video card for that much money....bleh.

JUST GIVE IT UP MAN!...*sigh* ADDITION:
Just saw the screenshots. Aesthetically-wise, I think both systems look really nice. Silver seems to be flooding the market, but hey, whatever. But the controller design for the Ps3....what the hell!? I laughed so hard. I have dial-up, so the picture was loading slowly, from top to bottom, as always. When it got to the controller, my thoughts were "hey, not bad. Kinda funky, I like it"....but then it kept loading, with more handle showing.. And loading. And yet still more controller handle. I was laughing so hard....ah, as long as it functions right, looks aren't that important.


OKAY, LAST ONE, I PROMISE:

Not only are you implying that Xbox has a very limited range of games (which is not necessarily true, with RPGs being the exception. Tsk tsk, Microsoft) you are also implying that Sony themselves were personally involved in the production of all Ps2 games. They don't make the games, they buy them from developers. If the developers decide to make a larger profit by releasing the game to Microsoft or Nintendo as well, that's not MS "stealing," they're doing the exact same thing as Sony. Purchasing games from developers.
