I dont want any "PS3 sucks" comments etc
They are all good BUT whats better
1. Now
2. In the near future
3. In the long run
4. What has better games now n better coming ones
5. What has best features lil or big
I say PS3 because cheap blu ray (which is going to replace dvd), has best line up for games - gta, Grand turismo, god of war, DMC, MGS, unreal tounrie, burnout, star wars force unleashed (yes alot of those are multi format but still)
ALSO the lil features compatibilty with almost any usb object, xmb bein accesible in games soon, Sony HOME,
AND dual shock is coming back soon.
So even if PS3 is not best at this precise time in a few months it will definatly be.
What do you lot think?
Oh and what amazing games coming out soon?What is better? Ps3, Wii, 360?
This is my cut and paste answer. The reason for that is because a tech info is a tech info, you can't beat it (sources below). Also this question is so often!!!
PS3 will win the console war, no doubt. Xbox 360 and Wii are so weak from technological point of view, that in couple of years they won't be capable of dealing with serious graphics. GTA IV, for instance, isn't even announced for Wii - this toy won't be able to cope with the game's requirements. Xbox 360 is getting GTA IV, however, the game is going to be released on several DVDs - Xbox 360 owners will have to interrupt gaming process and switch discs (Rockstar complained about this issue). Only PS3 will have it on single BD-DVD.
Let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:
1). A third of XBOX 360 (33%) are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 0.2%. Despite some people say, that new 360 has no breakdown issues - just visit Xbox section of Yahoo answers and see for yourself an amount of complaints.
2). PS3 has 8 (7+1) kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3.
3). PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 54 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual layer DVD-9 (8.5GB). It's possible to get HD-DVD (max. - 30GB) for 360, but it'll cost you around 180$, in this case Xbox is going to be MUCH more expensive, than PS3.
4). Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
5). PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in 4 slots card reader (except 20GB and 40GB versions), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
6). PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
7). PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $
8). From the first technical sight - graphics are stronger in 360 (it has a stronger graphics chip - Xenos), BUT PS3 can use it's Cell CPU for graphics too, which gives you better graphics in total. PS3 uses a weaker RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. RSX runs on 550 Mhz. It's difficult to compare their graphics, because 360 has a video chip with totally different structure and operating memory is divided differently in both consoles. Xbox isn't that versatile in dividing tasks between CPU and GPU as PS3. That's why PS3 exclusives look better than 360's exclusives.
9). PS3 uses technology from AGEIA company. It does to physics of the game same thing GPU (videocard processor) does to graphics. This thing is on sale for PC(special card). The price is around 350$. There is no such thing in 360.
10). Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of death" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 15 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it. That's why in some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".
11). Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is an uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.
12). In 2008 PS3 will get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4, The Agent and other great exclusives. Here is the good link to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html...鈥?/a>
13). PS3 online is free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.
14). There were reports, that 360 scratches discs. No reports on that in PS3.
15). The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console. Biggest games weigh only 25 GB (Xbox 360 will need more than 3 discs even for those).
16). On PS3 you can install other OS, such as Linux Yellow Dog, Ubuntu and others. Sony officially lets you do it. There is no such thing in 360.
17). PS3 HDD can be replaced easily with any 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM HDD (used in laptops). 250 GB will cost you around 170$. In 360 you have to buy exclusive HDD, where 20GB will cost you 100$.
18).Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years. Also Sony reduces price now. There is a cheaper 40GB version of PS3.
19).Sony constantly upgrades PS3 software (free updates for OS) - you get new functions and improvements.
20). PS3 controller (sixaxis) has a motion control - you move controller - game responds. Wii has it, Xbox 360 - doesn't. PS3 is getting rumble controller (Dualshock 3) in 1st quarter 2008, Japan already has it. On www.ebay.com I saw those controllers on sale 50$ and up (unofficial import)
21).On PS3 you can help sick people by running Folding Home project. Wii and Xbox 360 didn't even think about it.
22).New 40GB is 399$ or 399 euro (depends on the region) - it has no backwards compatibility with PS2 games, has 2 USBs instead of 4, no built-in card reader, but it's the same PS3, strong, reliable, less noisy, different cooling system. The price is friendly.
23). But, to be just, I'm not a PS3 fanboy, so (despite I own one) hear this - PS3 games (exclusives) are very hard to develop due to complicated Cell's architecture. We have to wait till developers will figure out how to develop games properly. Sometimes multiplatform games run not so good on PS3 due to the same developing issues - it's hard for developers to get a grip on such advanced technologies.
I didn't mention Wii, because it's so weak, no point to talk about it. Leave it for kindergarten and casual games.

Maybe if you stopped getting your news from ps3fanboi.com you would know that the reason GTA IV was delayed 6 month was due to the issues developing it for the ps3.

What is better? Ps3, Wii, 360?
what a original question
That's a hard question.
Well, the PS3 has the most advanced technical Specs. I also has an Blu-Ray Player included. There are a lot of good games out.
The X-Box 360 is cheaper, has almost as good technical specs and has a more established online community.
The Wii is for gamers who only play games like bowling or stuff like that. The technical standard of that game system is years behind. The only good thing about it is the Controller. But a controller is not worth buying a crappy system.
If you'd ask for my opinion, I'd go for the X-Box 360 with the HD DVD Drive. Then you'd get the play Halo 3.
BTW: I know all this from Friends. I only play on my $1500 gamers PC. But I am thinking of buying an X-Box too.. I say, go for the X-Box. The price difference between PS3 and X-Box is too great. Not worth the extra money.
If you have further questions feel free to contact me!What is better? Ps3, Wii, 360?
Its personal preference in the end.
I have them both and I prefer 360 over ps3 simply becasue it has more games, better games right now and the online play is 110 times better hands down. Remember I have them both and am just giving you my opinion. I would not buy a gaming platform becasue it has a blue ray dvd player in it like so many people have who dont really play games. The ps3 had some decent titles like fall of man and metal gear witch is why I purchased it, but over all it was not worth the 500.00 it cost becasue those games were not that amazing. Gears of war, call of duty 4 and halo 3 are really great games and the online play is amazing for them. Dollar for Dollar the 360 gets 95% of the use in my home. Dont let people tell you they are made poorly either, there were some issues in the start like 3 years ago I have had mine for 2 years it gets used a lot and has never had one glitch. At the end of the day all the stats and crap do not mean s--t its what you like and are looking to use it for. Microsoft will never be undersold what evey ps3 does they will do and do better, Gates does not like to take it laying down.
The wii is good for families and kids not a serious gaming platform in my opinion.
ps3!
1 Xbox
2 PS3
3 PS3
4 PS3 has extremly amazing exclusives and is coming out with over 300 games this year.
5 I have answered this question so many times, Just look up xbox or ps3 and you'll get your answer
The PS3 is better and here's why:
1. Better exclusive game line-up for this year: Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Motorstorm 2, Haze, Gran Turismo Prolouge, Gran Turismo 5, The Getaway 3, Socom Confrontation,Final Fantasy XIII, Tekken 6, Resistance Fall of Man 2, LittleBigPlanet, ect.....
2. More advanced technology and more built in features: Blu-Ray, Bluetooth, Built in WiFi on all PS3 models except for 20GB, Flash card readers on all PS3's except for 20GB and 40GB, Free Online, and a Web browser
3. Better Reliability: The PS3's have a hardware failure rate less than 1%. Xbox 360's have a hardware failure rate around 30%. Buying a PS3 is an investment in the long run and is built for the future. Compared to the PS3, the Xbox 360 is already behind and games that are coming out on the PS3 such as Crysis are living proof of that. The Xbox 360 doesn't have the technology/hardware to run Crysis on the console and that's why the developers aren't making a Xbox 360 version.
All I've got to say is this, after Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out the PS3 is going to be the HOTTEST game console on the market and all eyes will be on the PS3. The Xbox 360 wont get the spotlight again until Gears of War 2 comes out and that game is probably a year or so away, but until then, the PS3 will have the spotlight.
The only advantage the Xbox 360 has over the PS3 is more games, but the PS3 is going to have the advantage of NEWER exclusive games this year.
