Official PS3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. N. Revolution

Will there still be xbox live for the xbox 360 i just want to know or not.

 

Ludikris: It wasn't just the rumblepack in the controller. 47 games were found to infringe on the patent via software as well as the controller. MS also was named in the suit, but they had decided to settle.

 

we dont know if 360 will have better graphics, sony, MS and Nitendo if it is wores sony just f*** up big time. 360 is coming out with at less 200 game in its 1st year(200 game will come out in the 1st year and many will be RPG from japan). if i was MS i will want 200 games before PS3 comes out.all will be able to can play a movie. 360 have in game trailers. Sony cant make games untill they now how good their cells are.

Sony should give up and stop fighting it they are going to lose more money fighting then just paying it off. they will lose most likily about $120 millon in total for both the law suit and tying to fight it. which will limit they spening money for PS3 and eveything Sony have and sice the PS3 will cost more to make the to sell for about 5 years like the PS2.

 

Yes it will
2 diff. types
1 free, and 1 that cost money

 

i think ill just stick with the free

 

WXengence.. thx for clearing that up for me, I never totally knew why they were being sued but I had heard something about games and something about controllers. Microsoft was smart to settle, they probably did so having that lawsuit experience. None the less even if Sony is slapped, it won't hurt them THAT much.

Rap4Life.. Id like to see something that says "There will be 200 games out by the time the XBOX 360 is 1 year old." All I have read is... "40 games within 1 month of release, 160 will be in the works in the first year." Therefore it doesnt sound like 200 games in the first year. Also Sony has already sent out thousands of dev kits the number 4000 rings a bell for some reason. They don't necessarily need PS3s to make the games, they can start writing them now and test them later which Im sure is the plan. You really seem to a zealot for MS. The only real reason I sound like some Sony fanboy is because I am trying to stand up for them against you lies. Microsoft will have a good product, but Sony is not going to crap in a box and mark it $300+. My guess is PS3 will be the strongest system of the three, most analysts agree with me too seeing as how they are delaying on purpose to beat the 360 for the best muscle machine. Remind you this doesnt mean that PS3 will be the best console (though if you look at the numbers and ran some research figures based on repeat customers etc I would say they will sell the most units), but to state as a fact "XBOX 360 will dominate" makes you look like a fan boy and really hurts your informative credability.

 

Bicoulord, like rap4life said we don't yet know which console will have the better graphics. The rsx has a higher clock rate, but we all know that ati makes killer cards. I personally think the ps3 will have the edge, but i am in no position to make claims as i frankly don't know.
But rap4life, the $120 mill law suit is nothing, M$ get them, all teh time, ALL companies have those every once in a while. And for a huge company $120 mill isn't that much. A lot yes, but not killing. I think the ps3 will make a substancial profit, and will be a hard competition for the 360. The market is big and there are many "mouths to feed" so to speak. I will wait matiently for the ps3, as i know many others also will. Stupid? Maybe, but that is just what i think about xbox fans so whaddya got?

 

im not trying to change ppl mind. Im glade u dont buy something because u herd that someone was getting it. and both will make alot of money but like i said it take years so a console make money.

i cant find about 200 game a will some more later to show im sorry.

 

Good news for the Nintendo people!!!

Perhaps this will set a trend and we will see a massive support for the new system (I can only hope). It would make me a happy panda to see Nintendo eat MS and Sony, its unlikely, but so was the results of the PSX. We'll see.

Also I found this somewhat old news a bit interesting.
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=9233

Apparently it will be a bit easier to program on the PS3 (so they say). We know Sonys track record on promises though. However I have read this in more than one place.

Rap4life and I are pirates that stole this thread!!!

 

Just to add more fuel to the DVD format fire... This is why I'm not so certain that Blue Ray will win in the end...

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=22710 (300GB and over 2x's the speed of Blue Ray)
http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2005May/gee20050526030631.htm (850GB)

 

WVengance, nice.... Very nice.... Just one point, teh Blu-ray WILL be better than the traditional dvd. These new formats are, even though they are called holo-dvd and Ao-dvd, not the same as a dvd.

The blu-ray is just a continuation of the classical cd/dvd optical technology which relies on reflecting information from a surface on a layer on an optical disc. The blu-ray and dvd are the same other than the blu-ray uses a blue laser instead of a red one. The blue laser is on the other end of the laser spectre, and has a much shorter wavelengt, meaning the information the laser "burns" on the cd can be packed much cloer together.

These new discs are way cooler though. Using holographic storage and multidimentional mesh, they store information in volumes instead of on surfaces, as the articles say. Therefore the storage capacity will be much much higher. They ARE the way of the future, but not the immediate future.
Remember that these new "DVD's" cannot be read by a normal dvd player, they require an entierly new construction, which is in development.

However, NOW the blu-ray is the best that is currently on offer. The other newly discovered formats are possibly available but they would cost a lot (and i do mean A LOT as the new formats are only just in their testing stages). The blu-ray stores much more than a dvd, 25GB a layer, and with the 8-layer one sony is testing now, that means 200GB which is more than enough for next-gen games. And you gotta agree it is better than a normal dvd which the 360 uses(No offence to 360 fans). But then again a dvd is probably enough, which lowers the 360's cost more than the ps3.

Ah, but Blue Ray isn't compatible with existing DVD technology nor is it really a continuation (HD-DVD is closer)... They manage it by adding a second red laser that is capable of reading regular DVD's. Which can be applied to these formats as well. Otherwise, Best is not the same as better. Blue Ray has some issues currently and will be far more expensive to impliment than other options at the moment.

That is one of the BIG things about HD-DVD. It uses a 'standard' dvd media type that would require very little to change production factories. Meanwhile, BD-DVD is completely different, meaning a costly overhaul to retool factories... But we should probably start a new HD-DVD vs BD-DVD thread for that one...

Also, the Holo-DVD is fairly close to existing technology but allows then to vary the laser angle to write multiple sets of data to the same area...

As for the 360, the 360 should be MORE than enough. First, games don't go beyond 4-5GB right now and other than textures, that won't increase much. Plus MS has their procedural synthesis technology which can DRAMATICALLY reduce the size needed for games.

for those interested in reading up on PS tech... It's really something else... Also very good proof of my point that MS can take the hardware they have and do far more with it...

 

Xbox 360 will kick ps3 Ass because its coming a year before ps3 plus it will be $360 and ps3 will be $600 plus you have to buy a hard drive that’s a 100 bucks and the ps3 has less processing speed Xbox. Xbox has 3 times the processing speed and it will be able to be 10 times more compatible to the internet that means you will be able to download games, movie trailers, movies, game trailers and you can even win a million Bucks in project Gotham 3 in Xbox live. Also Xbox live silver will be free but gold will be $50. I am not getting ps3 because my ps2 fell a part and all my controllers about 20 broke. And my first ps2 died because. I had so many games I had to buy another one. Don’t be fool by ps3 it is a peace of shit. Fu@# Sony!!!! Another thing Microsoft has halo, halo 2 and there making halo 3. Halo is amazing!!!

 

What is with the blue-ray it is gay it is not compatible with most format’s it can’t even burn DVDs like Xbox 360. I don’t even think it can play DVD’s.

Why would Sony make there system bigger than the ps2 and bigger than the Xbox?
