Yeah, at this point though, the PS3 is so far behind the compition if they don’t get any major jump in sales in the next year, I’d say they’re completely out of the race. I am a Wii fan, I have one, I love old-school games most though. As for 360, it’s a great system as well, but I just don’t have the money…
Also, Wii’s already outsold the 360, which has been out for a full year longer!

@16
yea as we evolve we get more stingier by the minute…..
I remember when people wouldn’t mind paying $700 for a console. Now for $700 everybody is whining how expensive it is.

lol. why are people comparing graphics on a early console anyways?

Yes atm 360 graphics and processing power maybe the comparatively the same as PS3.

However its new, over time PS3 will own the xbox 360 in processing and graphics power wise. When developers become more used to PS3 programming and take full advantage of the hardware.

When you look back at all consoles, PS1 Ps2, the earlier games kinda sucked ass in terms of graphics, where as the later games towards the end of life on those consoles looked hella nice.

In terms of processing power Xbox 360 is basically just a computer, where as PS3 in terms of processing is like 5 or more times faster than a PC. As displayed with their optimized Folding@home PS3 program.

There was a really interesting project done awhile back, Real-time Raytracing (the most expensive in terms of processing in graphical terms)

they used 18 PS3’s inter-connected and used their processing power to do real time raytracing showing the industry that it is ACTUALLY possible to do real time raytracing if there was enough processor power.

Haha why didnt they use Xbox 360’s???? wouldnt it be alot cheaper to just get 18 Xbox360?????
they didnt use it cuz they will need ALOT more than 18 of them to be able to do it.

Haha i played Wii, maybe im just alittle too self conscious, cuz when im playing it alone, i feel that i look stupid waving things around. haha…..

I’ll take a wii over PS3 anyday. It actually LOOKS fun. I was a big fan of Playstation but with the crap that went down for PS3 and seeing the 360’s graphics/cost I would buy a 360 over a PS3.

It takes time for a new console to build a game library. PS3 is only in its early days like the $box$360 was last year. Back then people were complaining about how the 360 didn’t have a lot of good games; now that it does its gaining popularity. Give PS3 another 6-8 months and you’ll find that the Sony vs Micro$oft wars will start up again.

But hey, it seems all sites are populated with $box fanboys and reviewers who get kickbacks from Micro$oft. Proof: Goto gametrailers.com and look at their “comparison” of the $box & PS3 versions of Assassins Creed

Cant wait till God of War 3 comes out! MGS4 and the new Socom too. Has anyone played Warhawk? That game is sick! Seriously the most fun ive ever had on a multiplayer game.

I’m one of the people who got pushed over the line of doubt by the 40GB model and a discount on top of it from a store here.

I bought Heavenly Sword with it, which is cool, but too easy and too short. After the first round you unlock Hell Mode which is basically how the game should have been in the first place. Games are too easy these days.

Looking forward to Burnout Paradise, Soul Calibur IV, MGS4, FFXIII, Little Big Planet. That last title has more innovation and next gen than Wii could ever come up with.

have 2 360s one one the way to germany for RROD replacement. But still nothing beats playing PGR4, Halo3, Ace combat6, Bioshock, Gears etc and upcoming Mass effect. Well so many AAA titles on 360 why would anyone want to go for overpriced BD player which plays some games? Anyway, holiday 2008 would be time to pick up cheap BD player known as PS3.

Still loving my 360 at the moment and can’t see anything replacing it in the near future…

Having said that, I WILL very seriously consider getting a PS3 when GT5 is finally released
