I hear the playstation 3 is not as good as the Xbox 360?

Question

but the real question is, is either of them as good as the playstation 2? To make great graphics takes gamemakers a lot of time, not to mention what the computer has to process in order to get good frame rates, are both of these systems overrated? The graphics are better but is the gameplay that much improved?

I know they are probably better, but will they be the huge success that ps2 was?

Answer 1

Well, in terms of system power, the Playstation 3 is a little bit more powerful than the Xbox 360, but not by much. But as of now the Xbox 360 is very far ahead on what really matters, the very thing that makes or breaks a system. . .the games.

In terms of system power, both PS3 and 360 stomp on the PS2, but the PS2 has a large list of great games to play, which is something that neither the 360 or the PS3 have.

You can't answer if the gameplay for each system is better, because the gameplay depends on the games, which depends on the developers.

Answer 2

Actully.. I would choose neither. The Wii is my choice. But if I had to choose between the X-box 360 and the Playstation 3, I would say X-box 360.

Answer 3

i think that the xbox 360 is better than ps3 but the ps2 isnt outdated shink

Answer 4

I would have to agree with Shink and Jimmy XBOX360 is way better then PS2 and PS3.

Answer 5

Man, too be conflicted is too not know where you are going. Are you conserned with rough power or quality/quantiy of games? I would suggest you go with Sony. Their history as you may well know has been to provide the most diverse types of games out there. Microsoft, however, has offered better quality of game all be it in short supply. Here's what I suggest look at the below spec and than decide.
