I'm pretty confident that they will maintain a spread between the 360 and the PS3, and think that [Microsoft is] proud enough to care if the PS3 outsells the 360 consistently. |

» PS3 will rise over 360
I think that the 360 will be third in the console race by mid 2009. Before I explain my stance, I would like to ask all fan boys to shut the ***** up before they even start. Try and look at what I'm saying without bias. I'm not denying that I like the PS3 the best out of the next-gen consoles, but I am extremely open to all three. Great games are great games, it doesn't matter what console. Also, I am not writing here to help Sony's cause, simply saying what I think. Don't flame me because you love your 360//Wii so much that you cannot stand hearing other people's oppinion. Now, to explain:
- PlayStation's biggest gaming franchises are getting sequels in the extremely near future. Although some of these titles have gone multi-platform, I still believe that they will help Sony push more consoles than Microsoft (GTA may be an exception even though I wouldn't be surprised to see the exclusive content on PS3 after a while). These series include Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Gran Turismo and God of War.
- Blu-ray's victory over HD DVD WILL PUSH CONSOLES. I know a lot of you will disagree. I've read a lot from everyon about how video formats don't really contribute to console sales. I beg to differ.
- Inevitable price drop in light of cheapening technology. This will also have to come around because of pressure from Microsoft and Nintendo.
- Playstation 2 owners will begin to upgrade, and while many will lean towards the Wii, those who are chosing between 360 and PS3 will go with Sony. I honestly can't see anybody upgrading from a PS2 to a 360 anymore. This was the case for quite a while because of the lack of good games on the PS3. I would love to see anyone make this claim anymore. This is because we now have great exclusives (both out and coming) as well as many of 360's games going multi-platform.
For every great 360 exclusive you can name, I can name one for the Wii and one for PS3. Microsoft's claim to have the most exclusives has now been destroyed by Nintendo. It's really easy to say you have a great array of exclusives when the other two platforms for exclusives have NOT even come out yet.
What I'm trying to say is that Microsoft is starting slip in a similar way that they did with the original *****box. Back then, I was so much of a fan boy that I would have never invested into a console made by Microsoft. Now, I'm starting to feel really stiffed as somebody who bought a PS3, bought a Wii and then bought a 360. Why? because I'm starting to feel as if that third spend was a pretty big waste. Almost EVERY SINGLE 360 game that I like has started being ported to PC. Hell, there is no freaking way I am going to buy the Gears of War and Mass Effect sequels because I have a PC that has a much better video card than the one in my 360. Maybe I'll rent em, but if I know that they are only timed exclusives, why would I use an analog to play a shooter instead of a mouse?
Sorry for the long post. I'm looking forward to hearing your different perspectives on what I said.

» Agreed
I too own a PS3 and a Wii. I have found no reason to buy a xbox360 due to the multi-platform games as well as the support of the japanese for the said two consoles. Any great game that comes out for the 360 as a console exclusive will eventually/ has already come out on the PC. That is one of the cons for the xbox360, as well as the consoles defects; RROD, Disc Tray not opening, Scratched Discs.

You're right, I can name some great Wii exclusives.
Bleach Shattered Blade, Endless Ocean, Carnival Games, Sonic Riders, Red Steel, Winter Sports 2008, Cooking Mama, Soul Caliber Legends, NBA Live 08, Godzilla Unleashed, Samurai Warriors, Donky Kong Barrel Blast, Nitro Bike, Genga World Tour, The Ant Bully, and more.
Oh wait, those are all horrible Wii exclusives. The Wii does have Smash Brothers, Mario Galaxy, and Red Steel. Oh yes interactive weighing scale Wii Fit and a predicable Mario Kart Sequel, possibly to make up for the crappy Gamecube version. At least those will remain great Wii exclusives for the fans although I find Mario overused and annoying. Maybe that's why the Wii has nothing that interests me.
Also, is it really worth spending as much on a video card for your PC as it is a XBOX 360? I got to play Gears of War a whole year earlier than the PC version came out. Bioshock on the 360 has graphics just as good as a mid grade PC. PC games are great and all, but they need to be upgraded more frequently than consoles and cost more in the first place.

» I agree with MCS
Maybe you could name *a* exclusive for the Wii and PS3 for every great 360 exclusive, but you could not name a great one if your life depended on it.
I have a Wii and all the great games for it, and am enjoying the new Smash Bros a ton, but come on now. 360 >>>>>> Wii when it comes to exclusives

» @scarface_tha_second complete nonsense
To begin,I never knew being #2 was the new number 1 lol.First all most people care about when buying a console is price and games.The price of the ps3 is better but as long as it is AT LEAST $100 cheaper than the ps3 it will outsell it.Why? because the games are similar and that's the main purpose people buy games.The only three games worth mentioning on the ps3 this year are MGS4(cult game)LBP(unproven) KZ2 a shooter.MGS4 isn't any kind of God game only ppl who play all the previous ones and who already own a ps3 I'll be surprised if MGS4 sell 2 million copies.Now about PC games and 360 I don't see what's so bad since most ppl play console games instead of bothering with gaming rigs which cost THOUSANDS to the soon to be $200 Xbox 360.That's when the ps2 dominated the market at the $200 price point,even though this will never happen with the ps3.The 360 will outsell the ps3 at that price easily.Now back to the games thing 360 has GAME COMING OUT THAT ARE NOT COMING TO PC-Lost Odyssey,Ninja Gaiden 2,Too human,Fable 2,Banjo 3,Cry On,Infinite Undiscovery,Tales of Vesparia,Halo Wars and Gears Of War 2.Now the ones that are already released

Okay. The xbox 360 have good games for the majority of people, like the ps3 have. The only thing that is important is the hot exclusives. And not a lot of those tiles are hot nor exclusives... lol. Personnally, I'd buy lost odyssey, blue dragon and eternal sonata, that's it. But normal people would buy halo3, dead rising, project gotham, and the soon to pop games like fables 2 and too human.
On the ps3, you have gran turismo for racing exclusive (hard to kill), you have NO JRPG to conter my favorites (sad... but the final fantasy games are ps3 only so...), Haze/killzone/resistance2 to conter halo 3 and few other shooters not know to me (surely there is, I'm not god, I don't know a lot), etc. I don't think MGS4 will sell that well (surely well because of the hype, and the fan, I mean, I finished all the MGS games, but it's like everybody know the serie now, so I suppose it's just the hype machine).
Anyway, I could buy a used x360 for 100$ max, then buy my 3 games, maybe fables 2. But I'm not sure right now. I'll surely lack money so I'll wait for the finals with GTA4, MGS4, GT prologue (a kind of big demo that cost too much but... I like those games :( .), motorstorm2 (liked the 1st for online :D), little big planet (I don't like this kind of games, but I have fun making levels, lol), etc. I can't remember all the games I want. Anyway I won't have the cash to buy them all... university is not cheap... :(
PS: I'm not against the x360, I'm just saying that it's better to buy a console you like, it's not like 50$ difference is really important at this price. Still, 100$ diff. would make the x360 sell well, that's why the ps3 will cut it's price if M$ cut (that's why nobody will cut, lol).
Anyway, have fun with your x360. I'll play ps3. And we'll be all happy, lol.

» wow
Let me start by saying I'm a owner of all 3 gaming consoles.( PS3- Koolaidsred1 XBOX Live Dipsetmonkey
WII - They have online???lol) For the most part all the games you mention that are not going to pc either haven't proven anything yet or aren't even considered by the "MASSES" as a GREAT game. Gears 2 is definitely going to pc sooner or later regardless if its 5 years after 360 version. MS exclusives to go pc: Bioshock Gears of War Mass Effect Halo 2 (Halo 3 will be released to sell any new MS product most likely a new operating system) Also 80% of the titles you have mentioned that are 360 exclusives were released before a ps3 or wii were in existence. I really loved my 360 when i was playing Gears of war and my console Ringed to Death. After that Gears came to pc. Even recently iw as going to buy a 360 to try Mass Effect and now thats coming to pc. I would say Forza was great but apparently 6 tracks got sooooo repetitive by the time you reached level 25 it was ridiculous.
Great 360 Exclusives: Gears of War Halo 3 Forza 2 Mass Effect Bioshock Puzzle Quest's
Great PS3 Exclusives: Resistance Ratchet and Clank Uncharted Ninja Gaiden Sigma(not a true exclusive but still has new stuff) UT3 for now Warhawk(god i hate this game) GT5prologue(its out in japan) Mlb 08 the show
Wii: idc why haven't i sold it yet? (sorry i just hate this syetm with a passion i also didnt buy it so idc lol)
The moral to that story was for a console thats been out for half the time the excluvies are pretty much equal and on top of that Sony is going to have a WAY bigger year exclsuive wise compared to MS with HUGE third party support. Also remember games like MGS Final Fantasy GT5 Resident Evil(i know its on 360) will sell tons of consoles in japan regardless if they are on both consoles or not. Also the PS3 has been outselling the 360 for the past 2 months in Europe and Asia. The only place the 360 is doing well in is in America.
Also MGS4 sell less then 2million???????? I'm going to pretend you didn't say anything...
MGS1 (PS) 5.59 Million sold.
MGS2(PS2) 5.56 Million sold.
MGS3(PS2) 4.43 Million sold.
Yup your right mgs4 1.2 million ;)
Wow biggest post i have ever made. Please dont confuse me as a fanboy i just use my PC as a 360 i like both consoles i just prefer my PS3 and a pc(and no pcs don't cost X thousand my vid card cost me $250 8800gt)

wants GTA and sees a $400 dollar ps3 and a $200 xbox 360 he'll go for the one with the best price and comparable games.
XBOX 360 has great upcoming and already released games it's a great buy especially at that reasonable price point.

» wait for the price cut
The XBOX 360 will get a price cut soon. Since the PS3 just became more valuable with the blu ray victory, the PS3 is a better value at the moment. With a price cut already announced in Europe many people will be holding out to buy one until the price drops in North America.

» we will see.
I'd personally say even without a bluray player its cheaper. My main liking with the PS3 is the internal wifi and free internet. Also Europe even though having a more expensive PS3 has been outselling the 360 by quite alot recently.

It's outselling it because the prices are close there's only a $50 difference between the 40gb and a $50 difference between the 120gb and the 80gb.If it is $200 a casual gamer
can easily buy a 360 on a whim unlike when it costed more.You had to save up and plan that purchase.It'll definitely increase in sales because I hope u do know when the price difference was $200 the 360 was outselling it.

Awe :( To bad I came into this one late. Not much to say that hasn't already been said except don't forget Metroid.
The price on the 360 will hardly impact the PS3. After all, no mater how much you lower the price it's still a LAST GEN console. No wifi, DVD9, No "real" HD video, No HD Audio at all.....yup, still last gen. That's why countless people call the 360 nothing more then an Xbox v1.5.

If you consider the XBOX 360 last gen, then the Wii is soooo much more so. No digital surround, no high def, extremely limited media functionality, little memory, slow CPU/GPU, no DVD player, That's why countless people call the Wii nothing more then a Gamecube +.

wii isn't next gen its a fad that hopefully dies i hate my wii :'( i cant sell it though because truthfully its not mine but its in front of me everyday. I do want Brawl though but im so scared to get it since the last game i bought for it was Galaxy and god i thought it was terrible.
Overall idc who wins i just think its going to be hard for MS to win when Europe and Japan are dominated more by Sony fans. You cannot win by the US alone.

No one said it wasn't. As you have been told MANY MANY times, Nintendo doesn't not advertise themselves as NextGen.
When is that going to sink into your rock solid head?
"That's why countless people call the Wii nothing more then a Gamecube +."
No Sh1t you moron. The Wii is nothing more then a supped up GC with motion sensing. That's exactly what Nintendo calls it and that's exactly what it is.
What the hell is your point? Nothing you said negates my earlier post.
Try again.
As for Koolaidsred1:
"i hate my wii"

Wow...do you require meds to stabilize? Just playin :)

"That's why countless people call the 360 nothing more then an Xbox v1.5."
Correct, and those people are usually called fanboys. ;)
Anyway, since the PS3 shows itself to be no better than the 360 when it comes to the technical quality of it's games, it shows that 'last gen' doesn't mean bad. If it works and does the job, then it's fine.
The features you mention, or lack of them, do not make the 360 last gen, just as the PS3's 'last gen' GPU doesn't make it last gen. Both are next-gen consoles, regardless of what you or anyone else thinks of the technology they have or lack. :)

I'm not a fan of the Wii (it just doesn't appeal to me at all :|), but I think we're getting past the stage where we can simply dismissed as a fad now.
There's an appeal to the console that the others currently lack, especially to those previously considered to be non-gamers.
It is bringing in new gamers and this is great for all, since some of these new gamers will want to find out more about gaming in general, and perhaps start to show interest in consoles like the 360 and PS3.
I've seen things change thanks to the Wii and DS (more women and more elderly players), where the people who used to dismiss gaming as childish nonsense and view most gamers as geeks, losers, social misfits etc, have now begun to appreciate why we enjoy gaming so much.
A similar thing happened with the original Playstation, where even if you were not a fan of Sony's console, you had to give them credit for giving gaming a more mainstream and cooler image. With the PS, gaming was seen as an activity mostly for teenagers, whereas before the PS when Nintendo dominated, it was seen as an activity for kids.
So I welcome the Wii, but it's not for me. You see? :)

"Correct, and those people are usually called fanboys. ;)"
Usually? Probably. But I have a good friend that works for MS so naturally I have other MS friends and even they agree with the comment. I am not a Sony fanboy by any means and I started saying this long before I saw others doing the same on the iNet.
"Anyway, since the PS3 shows itself to be no better than the 360 when it comes to the technical quality of it's games"
That's a lie. The PS3 has done plenty when it comes to exclusive titles. Seems to me you are comparing titles available on both. Plenty of devs have come out and claimed there is NO WAY their PS3 exclusive can be done on the 360.
"it shows that 'last gen' doesn't mean bad."
I've already said that plenty around these parts.
"The features you mention, or lack of them, do not make the 360 last gen"
How do you figure? As generations move forward they evolve. The 360 has NOTHING that has evolved. You can say this all you want but facts are facts. The 360 made NO advancements other then processing power. Well, and an upgraded XBL.
"just as the PS3's 'last gen' GPU doesn't make it last gen"
Alone? Of course not. How can you IGNORE all the features of the PS3 except one then call THAT one feature LastGen then call the whole console LastGen? That's just ridiculous. Having a single LastGen spec doesn't make it LastGen. Having ABSOLUTELY NO NextGen specs makes it LastGen. Why do you think the 360 has had so many changes? So many changes that have PISSED OFF SO MANY 360 owners?
"Both are next-gen consoles, regardless of what you or anyone else thinks of the technology they have or lack. :)"
So regardless of what ANYONE thinks, even those that put a standard on the term NextGen are wrong and you are right......ok.....
If all NextGen meant was to change the name of your console a few years later then yeah, the 360 is NextGen.

"Usually? Probably. But I have a good friend that works for MS so naturally I have other MS friends and even they agree with the comment."
And? Ok, I don't mean to sound dismissive but come on. Shall I specify what my friends think too? :)
"That's a lie. The PS3 has done plenty when it comes to exclusive titles."
Of course it has, that's to be expected from the devs working on those games. However it's not a lie, it's evident in the specs and it has been stated by those with knowledge and experience of both consoles (not those biased by working with ONE console).
"Plenty of devs have come out and claimed there is NO WAY their PS3 exclusive can be done on the 360."
Well duh! :) What do you expect them to say. Again I say come on, are you really trying to claim that devs working exclusively on Sony consoles are going to say any different. I can produce comments from those working exclusively on the 360 saying they're doing things not possible on the PS3. Gee, now why would they say that?
The fact is, exclusive devs are the ONLY ones making such claims. Those with no allegiance to just one console and those with experience developing games on both, say the two are very similar in terms of power, fat closer than any two consoles last gen.
"The 360 has NOTHING that has evolved. You can say this all you want but facts are facts. The 360 made NO advancements other then processing power..."
The IBM designed CPU (Xenon) IS next-gen. It has 3 cores (compare to two on the PC upon release), and still has a floating-point capability beyond the best PC CPUs today (where Cell on the PS3 has in theory twice the fp power of Xernon, but half the general processing power).
The GPU is more advance the PS3's RSX, with features which were not in a PC GPU upon launch (unified shaders) and some which have yet to be included (memexport).
Yes in some other areas, the PS3 is more advanced and has more bells and whistles, but at it's core, the 360 is as advanced as the PS3.
"Having ABSOLUTELY NO NextGen specs makes it LastGen."
And as I've stated, it DOES have next-gen specs. If it had none, it would be impossible for the PS3 and 360 to be on par in games, including multi-format games. Afterall, we saw the difference in multi-format games between the XBox and PS2/GC from DAY 1 last gen!
"Why do you think the 360 has had so many changes?..."
Because gone are the days when consoles remain static throughout the gen baring cosmetic changes. From now on, they will evolve and change for different reasons, just as the PS3 has this gen.
So many changes that have PISSED OFF SO MANY 360 owners?"
"So regardless of what ANYONE thinks, even those that put a standard on the term NextGen are wrong and you are right......ok....."
And what standard may that be. I wasn't aware there was an official definition. The console generation is defined by the period where a new group of consoles are fighting for market share, with devs creating games and gamers buying them. It's not defined by the technology. Yes with ever advancing technology brings more advanced consoles to the market, but this is something we associate with next-gen consoles, but it's not a measure of how 'next-gen' a console is.
This generation sees the PS3, 360 and Wii battling for market share. These consoles ARE the CURRENT gen, and therefore they are as 'next-gen' as each other, just not as technically advanced as each other.

"However it's not a lie, it's evident in the specs"
No it's not. Have you read up on what the Rambus XDR memory in the PS3 can actually do? The 360 can in no way compete with the processing power of the PS3.
"and it has been stated by those with knowledge and experience of both consoles (not those biased by working with ONE console)."
So by someone making an exclusive PS3 title you chock them up to only know about the PS3? Not sure what connection you are trying to make. I don't care WHO it is you are referring to, if anyone is to be believed I would believe the AUTHOR of the exclusive PS3 title that CAN NOT be duplicated on the 360.

Beats me, let's see them. I want to see what the 360 can do, that the PS3 can't. Did they make some round about ignorant claim about the slow BR drive? Are they able to load levels faster? That doesn't mean the game can't be done on the PS3.
"those with experience developing games on both, say the two are very similar in terms of power, fat closer than any two consoles last gen."
Oh really? Then explain to us all how the 360 processes 7.1 surround? Or uncompressed audio? Or 1080p without scaling? See your comment right here is what's called a blind argument. You drop EVERYTHING ELSE just to concentrate on one specific. First off, there is no way in hell the 360 can compete in terms of CPU power. In terms of GPU power, it's a toss up. I'm sick of reading about it. So just because the two are stalemate on GPU power you drop the case and claim no winner? Sorry, that doesn't cut it. Once again we're brought back to the big picture of how the 360 is NOT a NextGen console. Just because you beef it up a LITTLE and slap a new name on it that does NOT qualify your entry into the NextGen arena. Otherwise EVERY SINGLE NEW CONSOLE ever put out on the shelf is NextGen, the term alone would have absolutely NO MEANING what-so-ever other then a different way of saying NEW.

Two core to three core? And? You call that NextGen? It's not even 2 to 4! Again, that's a 1.5 step progress. Xbox v1.5. Adding a single core is nothing more then beefing it up a LITTLE.

"The 360 has NOTHING that has evolved. You can say this all you want but facts are facts. The 360 made NO advancements other then processing power..."
"The IBM designed CPU (Xenon) IS next-gen. It has 3 cores (compare to two on the PC upon release), and still has a floating-point capability beyond the best PC CPUs today (where Cell on the PS3 has in theory twice the fp power of Xernon, but half the general processing power)."
Two core to three core? And? You call that NextGen? It's not even 2 to 4! Again, that's a 1.5 step progress. Xbox v1.5. Adding a single core is nothing more then beefing it up a LITTLE.
"The GPU is more advance the PS3's RSX, with features which were not in a PC GPU upon launch (unified shaders) and some which have yet to be included (memexport)."
As I mentioned, the GPU argument goes both ways all the time. Shaders alone is not enough to judge performance. But let'

"That wasn't the point. The point was that obviously (at least to me) people other then fanboys agree."
And the point I'm making is that what these people and yourself think is irrelevant. ALL devs working on the 360 consider it to be next-gen. ALL multi-format gaming magazines and websites consider the 360 to be next-gen. Almost all gamers who own a 360 consider it to be next-gen. So whilst a tiny insignificant few who don't consider the 360 to be next-gen gen are entitled to their opinions, their opinions holds no weight on the matter.
"So which is it then. Now you say of course it has? Has the PS3 shown itself to be better or not?"
I give credit where it's due ISO. I said the PS3 has really shown it's strength through the talents of the exclusive devs. It's not about being better or worse than the 360, but about acknowledging those able to demonstrate the excellent capabilies of the console.
"Exclusive PS3 titles have proven the PS3 to overpower the 360."
Except they haven't imo, that's just your opinion, not a fact. And for any exclusive on either console, I would expect similar quality from that dev if they were working on the other console instead!
"No it's not. Have you read up on what the Rambus XDR memory in the PS3 can actually do? The 360 can in no way compete with the processing power of the PS3."
*Sigh* What gives you the idea that XDR is a point worth raising? If you think it significantly outperforms the GDDR3 ram in the PS3 and 360 (they're the same spec btw), then you simply don't under the technology. Memory is not just about the clock speed, it's about how much data is processed PER clock. XDR has a higher clock speed than GDDR3, BUT it processes less data per clock than GDDR3.
Thats 3.2 Ghz * 64 bits for XDR, and 0.7 Ghz * 128 bits * 2 for GDDR3. This gives a performance figure (bandwidth) of 25.6 GB/s for XDR compared to 22.4 GB/s for GDDR3.
http://playstation.about.com/od/ps3/a/PS3SpecsDetails_3.htm
Note: "Main RAM: 25.6GB/s
VRAM: 22.4GB/s"
So if you think there's more to XDR compared to GDDR3, then do specify here.
And I could go on about the pros and cons of Cell vs Xenon (as specified in my previous post), and that of RSX and Xenos, and Blu-ray and DVD9 etc.
"So by someone making an exclusive PS3 title you chock them up to only know about the PS3?"
1) They have EXPERIENCE of the PS3, not the 360 (and vice-versa for 360 exclusive devs). So they are in no position to talk about the capabilities of the opposition.
2) They are going to be biased towards the console they're developing on (please don't pretend this will not happen).
3) They're going to make sure they please their 'masters' when talking about the console, even to the point of taking shots at the opposition. Again, please don't pretend this will not and does not happen.
"I would believe the AUTHOR of the exclusive PS3 title that CAN NOT be duplicated on the 360."
Good for you, so by that same logic, other gamers should believe the authors of a 360 exclusive title when they say it's doing things impossible to achieve on the PS3.
I prefer to believe the authors of those with DIRECT EXPERIENCE of working on both consoles. But hey, what do they know. ;)
"I expect them to claim the TRUTH which they have. These are also devs for other systems, what are you trying to claim?"
The devs of exclusive titles for the PS3 who claim the PS3 is far more capable than the 360, are NOT the same devs who are working on 360 titles. If you think they are, then name the dev teams who are creating seperate PS3 and 360 titles that also say the PS3 is far more powerful.
The teams saying the PS3 is far superior to the 360 are not working on 360 titles.

Stupid post limit!!!!!! I'm not typing that all over again.
Bottom line, all you can come up with is a third core for the 360. Big whoop! There are MUCH MORE technological advances in the PS3 then the 360. So my comment still stands, the 360 is nothing more then an Xbox v1.5. In order to be NextGen it must be enough of an advance to be considered v2.0. The NEXT step for the NEXT generation. A rehashed console is not NextGen.
I also summed up the whole issue with you trying to discredit PS3 exclusive titles because you seem to think the devs ONLY dev on the PS3. That's FALSE. I figured you would dare me to cough one up so I gave Konami. I believe they've dev'ed on just about everything?

"Bottom line, all you can come up with is a third core for the 360. Big whoop! There are MUCH MORE technological advances in the PS3 then the 360."
To be honest, I can equally take the 'big whoop' dismissive attitude to the points you've raised to :). I know you have your mind made up already, and of course I'm not going to change it, but the real bottom line is, you associate next-gen with technology, whereas I associate next-gen with the period. So we will continue to agree to disagree.
"So my comment still stands, the 360 is nothing more then an Xbox v1.5. In order to be NextGen it must be enough of an advance to be considered v2.0."
And until you can show me the official standard which defines how much a console must advance to be called next-gen, then I don't consider YOUR opinion to be the yardstick for which next-gen-ess is measured. :) You consider the 360 to be XBox 1.5, I consider it to be as next-gen as the PS3. So again, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
"I also summed up the whole issue with you trying to discredit PS3 exclusive titles because you seem to think the devs ONLY dev on the PS3."
Not once did I discredit PS3 exclusive titles! In fact, I've praise them and acknowledged the strengths of the PS3 (unlike yourself with the 360). Just because I don't agree with you on the power difference and 'next-gen-ess' between the 360 and PS3, doesn't mean it's an attack on the PS3, the devs or the games. You know, not everything has to be a case of "You're either with me or against me". :)
"I figured you would dare me to cough one up so I gave Konami. I believe they've dev'ed on just about everything?"
Before I lost my second reply (I'm still annoyed about that, ah well), I specified dev TEAMS, since large devs consists of numerous teams working on different projects for one or more consoles.
So do name the team within Konami who consider the PS3 to be far more powerful than the 360 and yet at the same time, are also working on a 360 title.

That's not opinion, that's FACT. When something is possible on the PS3 yet NOT on the 360 because the 360 can't handle it then the 360 just lost out. You keep loosing sight of that part. The PS3 offers MUCH MORE then the 360. I've already listed them all above and below.

I understand it just fine. You obviously never read up on the architecture behind it or the logic behind it's processing. There's a reason the PS3 doesn't contain as much memory as people would have THOUGHT it should contain. Because it's not needed. Go read up on HOW XDR moves data around.

Aside from the BR drive being slow, you haven't given any. I'm still dying to see what the 360 can do that the PS3 can't.
"To be honest, I can equally take the 'big whoop' dismissive attitude to the points you've raised to :)"
True, so think OUTSIDE the box. Picture yourself asking 100,000 people which they prefer:
1. A third core.
or
1. Real HD content that isn't upscaled. Yeah yeah, more to come.
2. HD Audio.
3. The ability to play HD discs without an addon of which the addon LACKS HD Audio!!! Now there is NO ADDON. Might change.
4. Games that are able to contain more content then could ever fit on a 360 disc.
5. A future proof HD player. Not all BR players are future proof. The HD-DVD addon sure in hell wasn't.
By all means, add to your side. Anyone know of a poll site we can put this on?

Ok, so you consider nothing more then the addition of a processor core and an updated XBL to be worthy of $400. Or was it more? I forget. If 360 users are so sure these HD exclusive PS3 titles can be easily brought to the 360 then I demand Halo 3 be brought to the Xbox.

there is a more powerful, more CAPABLE system to code for. Then you stand to lose by bringing the title down in spec for the lesser system.
If it's all about the "game play" then a slightly faster Xbox was not needed.

I'm not sure how you can call it agreeing to disagree when facts are facts. Specs are specs. To this point you skipped over (every time) DVD9 versus BR (not speed!), 5.1 versus 7.1 Uncompressed audio. The ability to do 1080p without having to scale. Features are features and the facts are the PS3 has way more to offer. Not to mention games are comming out that the 360 simply can not compete with. Unless your next argument is that the 360 hasn't been fully tapped yet and we'll see MGS4 and FF13 level gaming for the 360 soon enough? Never. Even Halo 3 had to be cut back due to the limitations of the 360 and Halo 3 will NEVER complete with those two games alone.
Also, I forgot to continue one of my sentence from above:
As much as you like to claim memory is not all about clock cycles OF WHICH I NEVER SAID IT WAS. Memory is also not all about throughput. Efficiency plays a MAJOR factor of which your math does nothing to compute.

Just thought I'd check before switching off.
So a quick note. I will reply properly tomorrow if I have time. I didn't skip over anything, those points raised were in the second half of your post, which was the part 2 reply I lost! If you think there are no NATIVE 1080p 360 games, then I suggest look again (properly this time). And yes the 360 can compete with those games, and the memory efficiency arguement is nonsense (again you conveniently ignore the fact that the PS3 and 360 share the same spec GDDR3 memory). Do expalin in detail the efficiency aspects of the PS3's XDR vs GDDR3 memory.
So I'll end for now with "I'm not sure how you can call it agreeing to disagree when facts are facts." Agreeing to disagree means we both have our opinions and are not convinced by the arguements of the other. Facts are not facts *just* because you or I say so.

» ^^^ Sorry but I'm really really p***ed off now
(Note to self: From now on, use word processor for ALL long posts and then cut and paste the reply here).
I'm just going to randomly note down a few points I remember from my post to keep it brief. *Sigh*
You mention 1080p a number of times now as if the 360 doesn't have NATIVE 1080p games, but it DOES (such as NBA Street Homecourt and Virtua Tennis 3). The difference is that MS recognised that 720p is the sweetspot for gaming, hence the majority of 360 AND PS3 games are 720p.
So the PS3 has native 1080p games and upscaled 1080p games, native 720p games and upscaled 720p games. The same is true for the 360.
Regarding the CPUs and GPUs, you said "First off, there is no way in hell the 360 can compete in terms of CPU power. In terms of GPU power, it's a toss up."
Xenon has 3 cores for running main code compared to just one in Cell (it's PPE/PPU). So the 360 has MORE power for running game code compared to the PS3. However, Cell has 6 cores for arithmetic compared to just 3 in Xenon, giving it MORE power for arithmetic. So it's not a simple case of one CPU being superior to the other, both are stronger in certain areas. As this gen progresses, float-point power should become more important for games, giving Cell the edge in this respect. However the GPUs can also be used for processing (physics, particle effects etc), where 360's ATI GPU is superior to PS3's RSX in this respect (also read Folding@Home's GPU FAQ regarding ATI and NVidia GPUs).
So it's not a clear cut case for superior power on the CPUs ISO, just as it isn't for the GPUs, and hence the consoles are very close when it comes to overall power (with the PS3 having the edge).
That's it for now (I'm still fuming). You can insist you're right as much as you like, but you've done nothing to convince me of your arguments and I'm sure I've done nothing to convince you either (so we could go on like this for days). Hence I think we should just shake hands, agree to disagree and move on. Agreed? :)
(Note to self: From now on, use word processor for ALL long posts and then cut and paste the reply here).
I'm just going to randomly note down a few points I remember from my post to keep it brief. *Sigh*
