Ok here it is the thread for all arguments against both machines, which one will be the best?

I cant wait for the new systems to come out and would like to see everyones view on which machine will be the best, im fed up looking at all the different threads on the two so i thought i would make it one!

Alot of people are saying they will wait and see what games come out and see which one will have the better games but thats not the point im trying to find out which machine will be the best.

Until I finish my time machine, I won't be able to tell you.

Dumb ass thread.

i started this thread for people to opinionate which machine they think would be best, based on facts and statistics on the next gen consoles, not some smart ass to give some snidey remark, if you dont want to post on the thread topic dont post at all
 
He's a Xbox fan boy + your poll result = He says your thread is dumb

First I'm more of a pc gamer (for the 8000000th time, I have no loyalties, my opinion is simply that THIS generation MS made a better machine), secondly I havn't seen the result as I havn't voted, and it's dumb because it requires the judgement on machines that none of us have played, and one that is still about a year away.
"I think the ps3 is better as it has a nano flop rate that is 3.471 metro flops more then the xbox360". It's based on nothing but speculation and specs that mean nothing until we see some real world performance, and no, tech demos don't count. I'll judge the machines a year or so after the ps3 has been out, so it's had a chance to get some good games.

Tsk I can't stand it when people call fanboy constantly.
 
I agree with code on all but two things.

One, PC's are mokney poop. hehehe.

And two...why wouldn't tech demo's count code :( you make me sad.

Because it's not a game. I judge machines on the quality of games first and foremost. Judging a machine on what we know now is like judging a film on a 30 second piece of preview footage.

"I think the ps3 is better because while Ive never played one, never really seen one, or really seen a proper game for it, I think it's better"

yeah right. I'll wait till I've played em both thank you very much,

pc's are teh pwnage btw.
 
Once again tha_con dissagrees with code_kev, nothing unusual. :D

I agree that tech demo's don't count because you can't actually play them. If you can't play it you can't trust it.

Well, I see where your coming from, but to me it makes very little sense.

Every year, they release trailers of the next MGS game, and all we see are in game cutscene's, but they aren't actually game play videos. Yet we KNOW and believe that it will look that good.

When you see a 30 second clip for Episode II, there is no denying that it looks wonderful, and the visuals are stunning, regardless of how terrible the movie may be.


So, considering that we can see how good the visuals can be, there is no denying that it will be visually stunning, regardless of how embarassingly bad the select game may turn out to be. Technical demonstrations offer that same preview.





And food for thought, regardless of how it "can or can't be trusted". The PS3 dev kits are running on Nvidia chips which at the current time, are unnamed and unreleased, however they are not the RSX, and as many speculate, are the G70, which will be inferior to the RSX.

These GPU's are running on PCI express slots, which also means they do not enjoy the bandwidth to the processor that the RSX will.

Also, the Cell processor run in the dev kits, which are nearly identical to the hardware running technical demo's at E3, are all running at 2.4Ghz, not 3.2Ghz, which is roughly 75% of the cell power.

So, with that said, regardless of how much you think AI will have an impact, there is still untapped power that hasn't been used in any of the tech demo's, and they were limited in performance, and still looked amazing.

:) Tech Demo's do count, but you have to know what they count for. Accurate representation of a system capability. If you see a head rendered with a gazillion poly's, then you know that it can effectively rendere a gazillion poly's with lighting effects, but don't expect everyone's head to look like that, just that it can't render a gazillion poly's. Understand what you see, and you'll understand what to expect ;)
 
If there's one thing I can agree with Code on, its that PC pwn the competition.
There's so many more things you can do with a PC game than a Console game.
 
But with a console you don't have to upgrade your hardware very often, pc's have to upgraded a bit more often than every generation of console. And console's are cheaper. But shooter games on the pc are way funner than on console (because of controllers)
 
PS3 will win hands down. Havn't had a problem with PS or PS2, and the controller blows away the Xbox. My only complaint......THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THE HIDEOUS BOOMERANG STYLE CONTROLLER!!!!!!!:crazy: :yuck: :crazy: :yuck: :dopey: :yuck:

I totaly agree with the upgrade bit and I find the controls much more better and precise on the PC.
 
Judging by the specs, the PS3 looks the best by quite a bit. The PS2 had more games than the XBOX, so I'm going to say the PS3 will also have more games than the XBOX 360.

But Sony ****ed up the controller with the PS3, so who knows!
 
I think the PS3 is better based the specs. I like what I hear about the cell processor and the nVidia GPU so far. Sony has a lot of game developer backing them and they have a lot of good title like Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, etc.
 
Will the ever be a thread with only positive opinions?

I like reading how powerful these 2 new systems are but its pretty clear from researching that PS3 has the hardware advantage. I just got a PSP and this little device has waaay more features than the PS2 and its a glimpse of what will be done with the PS3. By november I think I'll just buy an ubber PC graphics card rather than an Xbox 360, What they have to show for now doesnt float my boat, at least i know what the PS3 can do(thank u tech demos)
 
There is no way any of can know what one is better. All we've seen are videos and pictures. How many times has something looked cool but sucked? I remind you all of Auto Modalisa (sp?). I hate console bashing, just buy both of them that way you can play the best of both worlds. I plan on getting a 360 first then buying the PS3 one the new GT comes out.
 
the good thing about having xbox fanboy friends is that the 3 of them will all buy 3 x360's for themselves.

I'll be buying ps3 and then revolution. I won't be missing out by not funding microsoft's moneybags.
 
I agree with code. I dont see the point in trying to figure out which is better this early. Wait til they come out and then judge them.

Well thats not what i started the thread for anyway, i started it to see peoples opinions of the new machines before their release, to vote for what they think is best and to see what people have to say, its a bit obvious no-one will know which one is best and what the can do or even what they officially look like because no-one does have one, as people keep saying! - i only asked for opinions and thoughts.
 
I think people can stop jumping on barry's back now, the points been made.

On topic, I think the PS3 is clearly the better machine from a technical point of view, however, we all know thatisn't enough. I think the PS3 would outsell the 360 if it's better or worse, for some bizzare reason, people seem to trust Sony, as though they arn't businessmen out to get their money.
 
and when people see Microsoft, they say "I already have a computer."

Are you trying to say that because it's made by MS, it's less of a games machine? When I think of Sony I think of TV's and stereos, does that mean anything?
 
Yeah, it means the PS3 will be nothing more than a CD player.
 
From looking at the numbers i think the PS3 will be better. MS can claim all they want about their processor beign better than the Cell but they know they are lying. I do belive that ATi and nVidia will be very close in terms of performance so i don't think we'll be seeing big graphical difference in games. What we will see is that the PS3 will be able to have bigger maps and more things on screen while maintaining the same graphical quality as the 360 games.

About wich one i think i'll buy,i would have to say the PS3. Not because i am a Sony fanboy but because i know what games i can expect on the PS3.I like GT,FF and MGS series among others. They are the reason i will buy a PS3. And i have no such reason to buy the X-Box 360. Maybe if Forza 2 turns out to be very good. I want nothing of Halo or PGR or any of those. If MS could get more RPG games a la FF i would consider buyng it.
 
FF is being made for the xbox360. The game's vids I've seen of 360 stuff actually looks pretty damn cool, especially PGR3, that horror game by sega, the one with hundreds of zombies on screen at once, and gears of war.
