Ps3 and Xbox 360, a war to come..

We will not truly know until perhaps a year after each competing system has been available which one has been more 'successful', but even then we will still be looking at it from varying perspectives. Be it a fan, a fanboy.. a convert, or someone who owns them all, we all have different needs.

Some people may have once been put-off by a company so they embraced the competition. More likely, some people were so impressed and satisfied by a company that they didn't have the time or the need for another. Many people are unable to afford more than one system so must pick extra carefully, while some are able to afford multiple systems and enjoy the rewards of each.

It has been interesting reading this thread and seeing the different angles presented here. Technology, history, price, game genres, as well as suspected loyalty. All of these and the different combinations are the weapons of this war. Speculation is entertaining and the forecasts that have been laid down are interesting, but there still is no fact here. There cannot be. We have not seen the amount of power that is to be the PS3 at an affordable price. We do not yet know if the 360 will be a justifiable purchase, able to supply a massive volume in a variety of games with graphics that are exceptionally better than yesterdays.

The Neo-Geo was a powerful gaming machine that suffered particularly due to its price. Mighty Nintendo, the king of the land watched as some guys from Sony came in and remodeled the landscape for them. Some time after that, this Microsoft bunch put out a system that was the new racecar on the block, but all that horsepower alone couldn't help them get enough wins to claim the championship. They are currently tuning their new car, though. Some times the things that are supposed to happen do not, and sometimes the things that are not, do. This thread should be very entertaining a year or two from now in reflection.

BTW .. TY all for sharing your opinions here. Everyone is entitled to one, right? I haven't been this absorbed with a thread in some time!

 

no i said, i think it will be slghtly better.. WILL being the key word because it hasnt bein released yet.. WILL for god sake meaning later, overtime.. ya no?? didnt you learn english tenses?! but lets see, anyway// ps2 came out before xbox and xbox was better.. 360 rushed and released first and ps3 is still in the making.. i am sayin on antithesis terms, its a PREDICTION!!!!! AN OPINIONATED PREDICTION!!!!! if ps3 comes out and i can see 360 is better then im ok with that im a man, and admit 360 is better..

as for killzone 2 etc.. yes i no they were streamed hi res videos, even if the game graphics arnt as textured or woteva.. doest it matter that much?? we've played on lower res consoles for decades, and the playabilit is wot counts, graphics play a part too mind..

oh and in case anyone cares i watched GAMER TV and nintendo are goin through negotiations to try and buy rights to develop PDZ onto revolution.. another matter to argue about, which one will be better if it happens ey?

 

Where did you got your PS3 JuBei? You probably got it at a giveaway from a soda company. I've heard you can have it before anyone that way.

 

zelda, if you mean what you say, what gives you the right to critisize a system still in development? why are you so insistant tha thee ps3 will bne worse. i think sony knows what they are in for, and if they lie about something like this again than they will start to fall. i believe it will be the better system, maybe not in al ways, but in quite a few. the ps3 will be grapically better you cannot deny that. with is fewer but more powerful pipelines and 1080p, its looks will be as amazing to us as a siren to a sailor. dont get me wrong, the 360 is great all around, but in the graphical terms ps3 should have this contest even by a bit. and even if its a bit, it will still have one.

 

lol yeah nice one razengan.. jus a slight error there, or major the way this threads going lol.. i ment ps2.. well 2 is nxt t 3 easy mistake t make right??

anyway told ya before i like all consoles really, they av gd n bad traits.. buy certain games on each one, like exclusive etc..

 

sayin that, i wish i did have a ps3, then i could compare both consoles! and end this arguement lol!

 

Well my opinion is that the graphical difference between the 360 and ps3 will be minimal, with the ps3 just taking the lead and yes I like a console to have power but as long as it isn't no large power difference then I am not concerned. So I start looking at other features such as online play which microsoft has put a lot of effort into and me personaly I love CS and WOW and I can't w8 for similar nxt gen counterparts to come out on the 360. As for addictive they bloody well are and I could see how pple could get hooked on them but ive always been able to control how much I play and not go over the top.

 

None of us can give a true oppinion to the PS3 as of yet. One thing I would like to say is that in terms of making the 360 (not in terms of manufacturing and releasing the console) the 360 [bold]wasnt, I repeat wasnt rushed[/bold].

Microsoft had been working on the 360 for 3 years, this rush that is being described is on the basis of the console being released to the public. This was done on purpose. Its a marketing ploy I have learned before and have seen many times before like with the release of the PS2. It makes sense creat demand and you get hype and media. Microsoft is a multi billion dollar company wich hired people that know what they are doing like Peter Moore who used to work for Sega.

Before I go on, who here has seen in game footage of GEARS OF WAR and MASS EFFECT?

 

Ive posted this on another thread already but I feel pple need to take a look, go to this link

http://www.xbox360news.com/Blogs/News/hqs/blr_1305.aspx

Shows someone playing gears of war, its over 100 mb but its worth it.

 

The development of the 360 wasnt rushed, but the manufaturing was. sony is taking more time with the ps3 though.

Did you know that the ps3 was being developed(well the cell) was being developed right after ps2. Or arround then.

 

Kookoo you dont read what I say.

What I said

Your reply

 

cant you see our constant fighting is tearing us apart! : (

remember, a fight is no fight without 2 contendors. m$ is on a 5 month bye so to say.

 

come to think of it, zelda your right.. i remember reading about PDZ and on one site it said it was put aside and being developed for a side project.. i read that ages ago.. on rare i think, not sure mmm..

but yeah, that means 360 was in deveopment for quite a while wouldnt ya say?

 

Lol!! zelda i was agreeing with you. I wasnt arguing there. i shouldof put, "yes zelda i agree with you"blah blah blah.
LOL

 

it was in development for a long time. microsoft took how effing long with the xbox? like 5781983456 years? time doesnt always mean better. just because it took longer to make, doesnt mean the product will be better, expecially if the manufactuing is rushed so it can sel early. 360 sales will drop decently after january or february.

 

kinda of topic but.. i consider computers to be a form of life. anyone agree? i mean they can think and act and stuff. sound card is the voice, video card the eyes, motherboard and things the brain, etc etc. you may go "they can only do what they are programed to." but in had robots do thing i didnt ask them to. plus even if they are programed arnt we? we are taught math science history and so on. we are taught how to act by our parents and the media. seriously..

 

Microsoft Boss Attacks Sony PS3
Posted on Sun 18 Dec 2005, 6:09 PM

Microsoft's Peter Moore, who oversees marketing and first-party game development for the Xbox 360 said that the Sony PlayStation 3 will be inferior to the Xbox 360.

You tell that to all the people that thought Xbox 360 was going to have super-duper DVD technology, and all the people that are already disappointed in the lack of Xbox 360 units available, while some consumers call the Xbox 360 launch the most horrible and mismanaged launch for a video game console.

Speaking about Sony PlayStation 3, let's not forget what the die-hard fans of Sony PS3 thought in Japan. You know, Sony-land. Japan consumers made it clear that the Microsoft Xbox 360 isn't the same type of next-gen console they wanted. Afterall, Sony is promising all the DVD and HD goodies for the PlayStation 3.

I am sure that most of the gamers in Japan just laughed at what they saw, after learning a bit on what the Sony has planned for the PS3.

Microsoft is left with complete embarassment after the Japan launch. Xbox 360 retailers in Japan still have plenty of stock on shelves. Shoppers are just walking by.

Meanwhile, there is a shortage in North America and Europe, causing Xbox 360 pre-order consumers to become angry, and perhaps, regretful that they even placed any money for this console. Still waiting, since mid-November, still no Xbox 360.

Amazon really messed up this launch even further by taking November pre-orders, then launching some "early-bird" special to allow new consumers to buy the Xbox 360 right away. Again, putting the Xbox 360 pre-order consumers back on the bottom of the stack.

Microsoft does promise new shipments before Christmas, but not that many. Here we go again, another "2 or 4" Xbox 360 consoles for eachr Wal-Mart!

How long can this go on before the game market shifts to Sony PlayStation 3? If Microsoft really wants us to believe that the Xbox 360 is this giant-muscle console that will dominate Sony PlayStation 3, they are wishing. I mean, it's another marketing hype thing.

I am sure when Sony or Nintendo Revolution launches their game consoles, it won't be the total disaster we've seen with Microsoft. The largest software company in the world has an excuse for everything -- on why there are shortages, and why their console is the best.

And now comes the dreadful noise from a Microsoft top boss trying to convince people that the Sony PS3 cannot compete with the Microsoft Xbox 360. Geeze, not so fast there, Microsoft. Get your own problems fixed before making such accusations.

[bold]anubis[/bold] are you sure your mentaly stable talking about computers like that? The reason as to why I bought up the long development of the 360 is because you guys wouldnt shut up about this rush job of the 360. Then you contratict yourself saying the PS3 will be better as Sony are taking thier time making it but then go on to say

 

Lol this is kinda funny though

lol

Any one see GT5? It looks so realistic, cant wait till i get it. Thy just showed a demo on it. And its only like 25 mb. http://www.ps3land.com/news/article167.php,
Not 100% quality because its been compressed alote, but you caan still see how the game is going to look.
Cant wait till the game comes out.

 

Back on xbox360 vs PS3 thread, there is a noob that posted a biased source of information and everyon desided to rip his throat out.

Now here is [bold]anubis[/bold] doing the same thing with

taken from http://ps3-evolution.dcemu.co.uk/ and no one is having a go at him for it? Is this because everyone likes the PS3 so they dont mind what they are seeing here, I think it most likely is.

Well if you lot arnt going to say anything I will. Anubis stop being a noob and stop posting usless biased information like that.

Back to the launch of the 360. It wasnt great but it wasnt a disaster. I dont know why everyone is saying its a disaster when I experianced exactly the same problem with the launch of the PS2. It was short in demand, and pre order's went all over the place.
