Xbox 360 Elite is overkill, really. It's not something I'd trade my own 360 to get. Guitar Hero 2 is on the PS2. And that game has no real purpose for being in HD. It doesn't really do much for the experience. Halo 2 is for Xbox. You don't need 360. Halo 3 is getting mixed reviews thus far, from beta. Gears of War is a great game. I love it. Never played Dead Rising and I don't know anyone at all who plays it. Two Worlds isn't even on the radar.
But in terms of sales, the 360 has done much better. But really, the 360 only has more good games because it got a head start. That was the whole idea. Had it been released at the same time as the Wii, not only would the Wii sell more, but it would have far more good games.
Exctly It Doesnt Even Come With The $600 Bundle!! Whats The Points Of Buying It If You Have To Buy It Seperately For Probably Around $50
1. Obviously not 50 bucks.
2. nothing wrong with the cord for the headset, it goes into the controller so it is not in the way!
3. I prefer x-box over Play station, that just me!
First off, I'm not a fanboy... I like all the systems.
With that being said, PS3 all the way! Although the PS3 got a rough start sales wise, it's easily the "next-gen" winner. Blue-ray, free online play, bluetooth, Backwords compatability, etc. etc. and the list goes on.
Another reason PS3 > 360 is the price difference. M$ just shot themselves in the foot (in my opinion) by releasing a new MORE expensive SKU. $480 for HDMI support and 100 extra GB HDD. This "Elite" unit still doesn't included HD-DVD and is still suffering from the same problems as other 360's (mostly the ring of lights problem).
The PS3 was once thought of as being to expensive even though it was well worth the money (Blueray players alone are just as expensive). But now, with the 360 only $120 less (and no-where near as "worth the money" as hardware goes), the PS3 will without doubt step up to the plate and do what it does best... show the others how it's done.
ps3 all the way. The cpu of the ps3 is being intagrated into the next generation of computer gaming machines
nuff said
That's not right.
And as far as the whole debate goes:
Xbox 360 > PS3
Xbox 360 has better graphics. You can argue against this all day but you'd be stupid to since their are TONS of comparisons out there showing the 360 with greater detail and no slow down where as the PS3 chugs when the action gets intense.
Xbox 360 has better games and more of them. Resident Evil 5, Forza 2, PGR 3 & 4, MGS 4, and GTA IV are all going to be released on the 360 and this is very bad news for the PS3.
Xbox 360 is cheaper. Each system has its shortcoming that the other system doesn't suffer from. A couple websites did a cost analysis to see how much it would cost to overcome these shortcoming and offer what the competitor offers. It takes less money to cover tha 360's shortcomings than it does to cover the PS3's.
Blu-Ray was a bad decision. Microsoft was smart by staying out of the format war. If blu-ray tanks, and there is a good chance it will, the PS3 will tank with it. Microsoft released a statement saying that if HD-DVD lost the format war, they would release an external blu-ray drive for the 360 much like HD-DVD drive.
Sony plans on sticking with the PS3 for at least 10 years. In 8 years, all us non-sony fanboys will be picking up are much faster, much cooler and much sweeter new console while the rest of you are stuck with your crappy PS3.
Xbox Live is stable and fast. Sony basically has no competition for Xbox Live.
To sum it all up:
Xbox 360 - 6, PS3 - 0
Regardless, the Nintendo Wii will continue to dominate the market for years to come while the best selling console on earth is the Nintendo DS.

So in conclusion:
Wii > Xbox 360 > PS3
Game over.
1.) Xbox 360 overall graphics > PS3 = False
Xbox 360 ported games graphics > PS3 = True
When developing a game for one console and then directly porting it to another devolopers don't focus on reworking the game to fit the strengths of the the console it's being ported to... Hints the graphical edge 360 has because no game has been developed for PS3 and ported to 360.
2.) Xbox 360 does have a larger and better game library than the PS3. However, the 360 has been on shelves for much longer than the PS3 has been. Give it time, the PS3 will have it's own exclusives and "system sellers".
Another note... I have no confirmation that MGS4 is being developed for the xbox 360. The latest information I have is 3/31/07 when Kojima showed the game at GO3. Shortly after rumors began that a 360 version was in development only to be later denied by Kojima sometime last month.
3.)Just because the xbox 360 is cheaper does not make it better, it only makes it more appealing. I will not compare the prices of the core 360, or even the premium for that matter, as it is obsolete. The Elite has finally added some power to the 360... but it is not worth the cost. Comparing the hardware and capabilites of the systems the $600 PS3 far outweighs the lower priced $480 360 in terms of hardware and longevity.
4.) I have no opinion on the HD-DVD vs Blueray battle for survival... I will point out that the $480 360 still cannot play HD-DVD's until you buy a $200 attachment. This makes the 360 actually more expensive than the PS3 which plays Blueray from the box.
5.) I could care less if the PS3 last 5 or 15 years, the longer the better. The PS2 still recieves support even though the PS3 is out, can you say that for Microsoft? No, you can't. The first sign of the 360 make Microsoft drop the original Xbox like it was hot.
6.) Sony has yet to launch their online service Home. Once this is out we can talk about the state of Live vs Home... Just remember Live didn't have the service or support that it now has when the 360 first launched either. Also, with developers now coming forward that Microsofts Live service is forcing them to charge money for content they intended to be free... it makes me wonder about the integrity of Live.
I'm not gonna sit here and say which console is best. I'm only going to say what I know to be true. I could sit here and say "PS3 is 1337 because it has blueray" or "360 is 1337 because its been around longer" ...but I will not. I would rather point out the flaws of each of the system and see which one is more likely to succeed.
In the current state, it's to early to decide who is going to win the console war. Microsoft has a nice head start, Wii has innovative and entertaining gameplay, and the once console leader Sony is playing a game of catch-up.
1. Games that are ported do not suffer from graphical disadvantages. Take Oblivion for instance. Some graphics were improved (distance landscapes) while others were not nearly as good as the 360 (lighting and textures).
2.) PS3 will never have a greater game library. As fast as Sony announces their "system sellers" (what are they?), Microsoft announces their own or buys Sony's.
3.) Price is EXTREMELY important. Too say otherwise is ignorant. Appeal wins console wars.
You clearly have no hardware knowledge whatsoever if you think the PS3 has huge hardware advantages. This couldn't be farther from the truth. The "cell" processor was ill-advised as it has extremely slow memory access times. The core OS for PS3 uses a much greater amount of the system's already small amount of RAM compared to the 360's. You're clearly either a fan boy or seriously misinformed.
4.) The HD-DVD player can be found for much cheaper than $200, as low as $100 and will continue to get cheaper.
(Tests on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray show that both the video quality and extra features are better on HD-DVD.)
5.) We aren't talking about previous generations so don't try to bring PS2 or Xbox support into this argument. If you want to continue using your PS2 and ignore next-gen consoles, fine but that's not a valid argument in any way, shape or form.
6.) While Xbox Live support is better now than before, Xbox Live support at launch was still stable and functional. Sony has yet to achieve either of these.
Sales is what really determines the winner. Sony is going to record their largest loss in Q4 2007 because of the PS3. The PS3 bombed and all the Sony fanboys need to deal with it. Stop talking up your defunct console.
dude face the facts, ps3 sucks, xbox 360 all the way. As for the Wii its fun to play, but i look for graphics and gameplay over just gameplay, although gameplay is a big factor i look for. the 360 has the ps3 beat in almost every aspectfrom graphics, to games, to even the price. sure the ps3 can play dvd's but at least for me i look for if a system has good games and graphics rather than if it can play dvd's.
that used to be exclusive to ps2 / 3
but now they know that to make more money, they must go multi playform
it has nothing to do with xbox, so please dont include that in why 360 is better.
same with dead rising
they just wanted to have people wait
so that they have to buy both versions of xbox
plus l33t costs more.
[just as much as ps3]
there goes the money-saving perspective
OK. Im just giving random games, I just think the X-box has so much more going for it, than the ps3
But in terms of sales, the 360 has done much better. But really, the 360 only has more good games because it got a head start. That was the whole idea. Had it been released at the same time as the Wii, not only would the Wii sell more, but it would have far more good games.
The elite comes with head set, and such , plus 60 more gigs then the playstation, and it still costs the same... WOW!!!!
Sounds like the X-box is a better choice
not just random shit off the top of your head.
want proof? http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=138270&WT.mc_n=4&WT.mc_t=U&cm_ven=COMPARISON%20SHOPPING&cm_cat=GOOGLE&cm_pla=DATAFEED->PRODUCTS&cm_ite=1%20PRODUCT&cm_keycode=4
5 more bucks, but its at a retail outlet for fucks sake
and if you say 'oh but it isnt black'
tough shit. you dont even see it while u use it.
what happened to 'no more wires'?
I would but im multi tasking right now, got Msn up and watching hockey.
They do sell a wireless just has to be bought in stores.
1. Obviously not 50 bucks.
2. nothing wrong with the cord for the headset, it goes into the controller so it is not in the way!
3. I prefer x-box over Play station, that just me!
its that microsoft sells u xbox leet...
claims to be much better
all it adds is 60 gigs and black color
promotes no wires
doesnt come with wirless headset
doesnt come with wirless internet
microsoft is just trying to rip you off
getting more customers by saying 'no more wires'
which is what every single gamer on the planet wants
i saw it was $30 on ebay.
and thats ebay idk how reliable that is
if you prefer xbox..please back it up with good reasons.

i think consoles are meant for when you have 3 people over your house and u wanna pwn their asses in a game
sales dont determine a winner
360 had a year head start...
so obviously it has the upper hand on that
what defines whats the winner and whats the loser
is which one is more liked than the other, to the general public.
though you cannot base an analysis on one variable you must include every single one
