X-Box 360 v. Revolution v. PS3
#41
I gotta go with the PS3... controller will take some time to get used to. I read somewere today while i was supposed to be working on my house design that the PS3 will be 2x more powerful then the 360 and 15x more powerful then the revolution and an ashtonishing 35x more powerful the the ps2... I cant believe that, the graphics for the ps2 are pretty good but 35x more powerful... and the graphics that i've seen...wow

According a an article published in the May 17th edition of Japan's Mainichi Shimbun, the PlayStation 3 could be one of the most expensive mass-market videogame consoles ever created. Officials from Sony apparently told the newspaper that PlayStation 3s would sell in Japan for "less than 50,000 yen each." That translates to about $465 US dollars.
Sony unveiled its next-generation console at the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2005. The beast of a machine utilizes the powerful Cell processor, a custom-designed graphics chip by Nvidia, and 512MBs of RAM for a quantum leap in performance. The system will also be the first-ever to support high-def movie-playback out of the box, taking advantage of the upcoming Blu-ray Disc format.
Sony claims that PS3 will be roughly 35 times more powerful than PS2. If Mainichi Shimbun is correct, gamers will be asked to pay a hefty price for the high-end functionality.
IGN was unable to validate this news with Sony officials. Stay tuned for more as the story breaks.

have you guys been seeing the the live E3 coverage from G4?
All the footage from Killzone 2 was said to be realtime gameplay, and it looks better than even the best FPS running at the best PC's available at the moment
I can't wait, good thing 360 will hold me out for PS3.

You know it's funny. The XBox fans are now saying that it'll be up to the games to decide which system is better, not the hardware. Anyone else think that sounds familiar? You know, when the XBox first came out and they were all saying how much better than the PS2 it was because of it's hardware but the games were mostly crap? Most people I know with an XBox acknowledge that the main reason they still have it is Halo 2.

Nintendo hasnt released photos or info on their controller because that's the main revolutionary part of the system. In the past, when Nintendo has released a cool controller (analog stick, rumble pack) it's been copied by others ::coughSONYcough::, so this time they are going to keep it under wraps, until very late in the game.
I hope my brother is right and we get a Power Glove!!!
Nintendo is also going to be the most affordable of the three

I haven't seen anyone copy nintendo's controllers before. Analog sticks are a logical evolution for 3d games, one of the reasons the DS stinks so bad. Actually, from all the PC controllers I've seen out there, most are direct copies of Playstation controllers. Besides, we all know that the big "revolution" is the retarded touch screen on the controller.

By whom, pray tell. Your grandmother? Please post the results of the head to head performance comparison of these two systems

If you notice it has one 3.2G Core

ding ding ding! Correct. 1 core. The xbox has a multicore PowerPC chip with three dual-threaded cores. As I said, in terms of raw processing power, there is no comparison. Xbox has been pimp slapping PS2 for years, gradually eroding Sony's market share all the while. With the release of the 360 (ahead of PS3 this time) it won't even be a contest.

To me all you need to see is the Killzone Trailer to understand what I'm talking about. And despite whatever rumors about it being fake started by Microsoft it has now been confirmed as real gameplay by SCEA VP Jack Tretton. Enjoy.

Sony has more experience that Microsoft, but Nintendo has more than Sony and look what happened.
You can't really compare stats until you have tests from the actual console. Intel P4s have 3+ ghz performance, but 2ghz AMD's meet or exceed their performance.
Even though the Xbox has a 700mhz processor while the PS2 a 300mhz, it was said that the PS2 was more powerful. The PS2 was supposed to deliver 75 million polygons, later reduced to 66m, while in reality even most high end games only deliver 10-15 million. The ability to utilize the power is the key.
It is too hard to tell without having the actual consoles and games.
That said I love my Xbox and can't wait for the 360.

Nintendo's downfall, however, was their unwillingness to change. Being the last company to stop using cartridges and never really being backwards compatible while saying that online gaming isn't going to get popular, probably didn't help them much.

I think both consoles will do great. But i think since Sony is more educated on video game consoles, they will make the better console. And lets face it pple, Microsoft wasent all that smart with the Xbox. They made a controller that was way to big to even hold, they had bad wireing and they overheated easily on the first couple months it was out.
The only thing Xbox ever had over PS2 was graphics. And why is that? well lets see..
PS2: came out October 2000
Xbox: came out November 2001
One year and a month extra to make a better console. The PS3 is coming out 6 months after Xbox 360. 6 months extra to make a better console, 6 months for Xbox 360 to be happy until they have to bow down to Sony.

I actually like the bigger controllers. I never had a problem with the XBox and I bought it on the day they went on sale. I do know that my dad had to return two different PS2s, they didn't work out of the box. Ended up finding out the whole lot didn't work.
