Which is better, playstation 3 or xbox 360, for exclusives and graphics?

Question

Please only answer if u have either one of the consoles or both, because otherwise u really don't know! lol! I'm looking for a console which has the better graphics on an HD TV, is better to play AND has lots of exclusives!

Answer 1

At the moment, the Xbox 360 has more, better exclusive titles, but the PS3 has a bunch of really good, high-demand titles coming up in the next year and a half. I own an xbox and really like Mass Effect, BioShock, Halo 3, etc. So right now, i'd say Xbox 360.

However, I do plan to buy a PS3, possibly for Metal Gear Solid coming out sometime next year.

The graphics are both capped at 1080p, so if you have a tv that can display 1080p, then you'll get the same stellar picture from both.

Answer 2

The 360 is on top followed buy the Wii and in last place the PS3. The 360 hits that sweet spot between cost and value. The 360 is a great machine at great price. Wii is price right and that is why it is doing well in sales, Nintendo just has to pick up the pace in production. The PS3 is with out a doubt an unbelievable system, that is in theory. Until we start seeing the PS3 getting pushed to its limits or at least pushed past the point of the 360's quality of games. The 360 will rein supreme. There are people that bought the PS3 and regret paying so much for so little. Then there are people that bought the 360 and regret not having some extra technology like the PS3. The format wars are far from over, so why invest in a machine that might support a format that the rest of the world doesn't. I like the fact that Microsoft lets you choose to add the HD DVD drive. The 360 has all the best stuff now, however there will be great games that come out mid to late 2008 for the PS3. But keep in mind that there will be just as much for the 360. Take all the multi-platform games out of the equation. The PS3 will have MGS4, Killzone 2, FFXIII. That's it. The 360 will have Lost Odyssey, Fallout 3, Fable 2.That's it. There will be an level playing ground for both consoles. The PS3 will go down in price and that's when we will see better games for it. What i want to know is why are we paying $10 more for our games on all 3 systems? When they started talking next gen the games where gonna be either Blu-Ray disc or HD DVD disc. They are still using DVD disc and charging us more. The console to get now is the 360. Later when the Ps3 goes down in price and quality goes up in games, then will be the time for a PS3. And just so every ones knows I have all three systems.

Answer 3

Ps3 for sure. Though looking at a ps3 and a 360 you cant tell that they are different consoles- both viewed in Hd. But the ps3 has a more room for graphics (better specs). You won't be able to tell just yet that the ps3 is better as far as graphics, not until they come out with the 1st killer game that takes the machine to the max. With time we'll be able to see the difference.
As far as exclusives go- Ps3 has BETTER exlusives. However, Exclusives really only matter if they are part of a previous popular title.(Your not going to care if The Golden Compass is exclusive to a specific console.) If you love a few xbox exclusive titles that you've played for years, your not going to want to jump ship to playstation because of their exclusives either..

-Note- Xbox has usually been for the hardcore gammers that just want a console NOW, they don't care about red rings of death poppin up, just that they can start gamming fairly cheaply.

Playstation is known for their loyal customers that thrive on their exclusive series of games that continuosly get better and better. Ps3 fans love the cinematic effects of the console, the way the developers make it more than a game.

Answer 4

Even though I own a PS3, I will admit that the Xbox 360 has the major must have games now, but in 2008 the PS3 will be the system that have must have games.

The PS3 does have good exclusives out in my opinion, it's just that some of Sony's major exclusives like Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII, and Killzone 2 are coming next year.

The PS3's exclusive games have better graphics, and the PS3 is the over all better console because it's more reliable, it's got more built in features, and it will have the longest life span.

Answer 5

xbox 360 you get more for what you pay. Ps3 overpriced. 360 got more exclusives and games now.....but that will change in a year or two. No, i don't own one, but am around one or the other every day or so...so believe me; i know what i'm talkin about.

Answer 6

Answer 7

PS3 hands down! The Blu-Ray player pays for its self especially with a 1080p HDTV.

Answer 8

This is my cut and paste answer. The reason for that is because a tech info is a tech info, you can't beat it (sources below).

PS3 will win the console war, no doubt. Xbox 360 and Wii are so weak from technological point of view, that in couple of years they won't be capable of dealing with serious graphics. GTA IV, for instance, isn't even announced for Wii - this toy won't be able to cope with the game's requirements. Xbox 360 is getting GTA IV, however, the game is going to be released on several DVDs - Xbox 360 owners will have to interrupt gaming process and switch discs (Rockstar complained about this issue). Only PS3 will have it on single BD-DVD.

Let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:

1). A third of XBOX 360 (33%) are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 0.2%. Despite some people say, that new 360 has no breakdown issues - just visit Xbox section of Yahoo answers and see for yourself an amount of complaints.
2). PS3 has 8 (7+1) kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3.
3). PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 54 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual layer DVD-9 (8.5GB). It's possible to get HD-DVD (max. - 30GB) for 360, but it'll cost you around 180$, in this case Xbox is going to be MUCH more expensive, than PS3.
4). Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
5). PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in 4 slots card reader (except 20GB and 40GB versions), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
6). PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
7). PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $
8). Graphics are stronger in PS3, due to RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. RSX runs on 550 Mhz. It's difficult to compare their graphics chips, because 360 has a video chip with totally different structure and operating memory is divided differently in both consoles. However, PS3 exclusives look better than 360's exclusives.
9). PS3 uses technology from AGEIA company. It does to physics of the game same thing GPU (videocard processor) does to graphics. This thing is on sale for PC(special card). The price is around 350$. There is no such thing in 360.
10). Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of death" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 15 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it. That's why in some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".
11). Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is an uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.
12). In 2008 PS3 will get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4, The Agent and other great exclusives. Here is the good link to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html......
13). PS3 online is free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.
14). There were reports, that 360 scratches discs. No reports on that in PS3.
15). The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console. Biggest games weigh only 25 GB (Xbox 360 will need more than 3 discs even for those).
16). On PS3 you can install other OS, such as Linux Yellow Dog, Ubuntu and others. Sony officially lets you do it. There is no such thing in 360.
17). PS3 HDD can be replaced easily with any 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM HDD (used in laptops). 250 GB will cost you around 170$. In 360 you have to buy exclusive HDD, where 20GB will cost you 100$.
18).Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years. Also Sony reduces price now. There is a cheaper 40GB version of PS3.
19).Sony constantly upgrades PS3 software (free updates for OS) - you get new functions and improvements.
20). PS3 controller (sixaxis) has a motion control - you move controller - game responds. Wii has it, Xbox 360 - doesn't. PS3 is getting rumble controller (Dualshock 3) in 1st quarter 2008, Japan already has it. On www.ebay.com I saw those controllers on sale 50$ and up (unofficial import)
21).On PS3 you can help sick people by running Folding Home project. Wii and Xbox 360 didn't even think about it.
22).New 40GB is 399$ or 399 euro (depends on the region) - it has no backwards compatibility with PS2 games, has 2 USBs instead of 4, no built-in card reader, but it's the same PS3, strong, reliable, less noisy, different cooling system. The price is friendly.

I didn't mention Wii, because it's so weak, no point to talk about it. Leave it for kindergarten and casual games.
