Sony Shows Us Why the PlayStation 3 Is Better Than the Xbox 360 and Wii

Why doesn't Sony mention that you can very simply upgrade the hard drive?

I have a 250 GB hard drive in my PS3, but Microsoft has proprietary firmware on the hard drives that are used with the XBOX 360 which prevents users from using larger capacity drives.

My XBOX 360 only has 20GB and now that the system can now cache game
data for faster loading, my space will be very limited.

hi, my name is Dewayne Lindsay, in response to the article,
i have both box 360 and PS3, my PS3 give me the liberty to enjoy my console in every sense of the word, etc. running an operating system along side the manufactured system, surfing the web right out of the box, never having to use my credit card to play online, just to name a few. where as my Xbox 360 is quite the opposite!going back and fourth from my computer to my gaming system just to check my email is a pain in the rear when using my Xbox 360, when playing my PS3 i need only to go to the refrigerator!

Well the PS3 sure rocks and is best in features like all Sony products , but the average user does download games for his console since he cannot buy all of them.And since XBOX360 was so easy to crack, it sells, but it does lose a good amount of money on the games ( not Microsoft but publishers witch is badly for them ).
But when someone will manage to crack the PS3 I'm sure sales are going to explode.But a price cut is always welcome :D

I think sony PS3 is the best gaming console on the market despite the Crowd Herd that running to the "wii" and 360 like some damn crazy beast.
people dont seem to recognize quality anymore, which is what the PS3 has. the 360 is comming along though but Ps3 is the ultimate machine for true gamers. the only problem i see with the Ps3 is that there aren't as much titles on the market and aslo the price range that could eventually trun off people who are not origianlly fans of hardcore gaming that would spend a little extra to get the best. that my opinion

When sony say "The Xbox 360 requires additional money, multiple upgrades and additional external devices, putting a burden on the wallet and adds clutter to the entertainment center."
The wifi is the only thing you might want as an accesory but you dont need it as there is a LAN port. It is only £50 or $100 which, if you add on to any of the xbox packages makes it a lot cheaper than the PS3 the Hard Drives are about the same size too. And what is cluttery about a Xbox it has a media extender for videos, music etc, it has Media Center on it and you can shove a film on a usb memory stick and play it on your xbox. The live is £30 or $50 but it is EASILY better than PSN which drives me insane with the updates and there is nobody to play either. AND PS3 has lost backwards compatibilty and the chrome strip and the memorycard + some other stuff and still no price cut.
"And the Wii's lack of enhanced features comes at the expense of a comprehensive entertainment solution." The whole point of the Wii is that you have fun, somthing which the PS3 cant give and yet again the Wii is much much cheaper.
It seems that SONY are a bit jelous but they can only blame themselves for ruining their PlayStation brand, since they wanted to put Blu-Ray in and use expensive parts. They should have had stuck to the PS2 basis simple and fun. Not get distracted by expensive gimics and Blu-ray, which doesnt realy work for games as it is DEAD SLOW.

You don't know a damned thing about any of them, do you? You're just spewing out the same old X-box fanboy lies ad nauseum.

It is certainly true that the PS3 is the best console between the XBOX 360 and the Wii.

Hah its a Sony fanboy orgy in here.

Maybe Sony should quit on the talk about how its better, and actually do something to show people.

So far, I have seen nothing that makes me think the PS3 is better. Sure I know all about the specs, and the hardware is better, but i'm yet to see ANY result.

For the record to all you bumchums, I own no console, my PC owns. As it always will.

They don't need to do anything to show they're better. People need to grow some damned brains and learn for themselves, because only a complete idiot would choose 360 over the PS3.

Whats the point of having the "best" hardware based console when there are a mere fraction on good titles available. Sorry Sony...your "I R betah" arguement does make you more fun.

Also, its pretty damn hard to play PS3 with your friends if none of friends have one.

ok real simple like for all yowll its a CONSOLE yeh get it no ok games consoles are for games games games games and now in 09 and yip evin back in 08 (unless you had or have pcs (pcs have been the online couice for gameing since before psone c&C anyone) online gameing is were it is at sony is not were its at its online ability is a joke evin you ps3 fan boys lol about it and wont argue it again CONSOLES its all about the games wanna check email get a pc wanna surf get a pc wanna watch blu ray get a home entertanment system wanna play games GET A XBOX 360.

You're an idiot. Learn to spell, then maybe you're intelligence will go up enough to see how everything you said was completely wrong.

Are you an idiot? probably... All that you said are complete lies. Yeah go buy a pc, entertainment system, xbox 360 and you will be paying a lot more than you would if you bought a ps3 which is all in one. And one more thing, LEARN HOW TO SPELL!

well. glad i bought a ps3.

plus i dont think saying ps3 dont have games works any work. it has alot of good games. even though i only have 3 because of money, even thought most of them are multiplatform.cant wait for killzone 2 and streetfighter 4 and skate 2. leaving my wallet empty for a while.

i guess i woulve of botten a 360 if all my friends had one. but there all ps3ers. and number one reason for me is cuz im a huge killzone fan.

This ps3 vs xbox battle is getting really lame. I bought the PS3 because every PC game I have looks better than any xbox game out there - even the might gears of war looked better on PC than it did on xbox. Xbox have more titles yes, but how many of those titles are quality? I have nothing against xbox, its a good console, I prefer the xbox controller, thats it, but having to change batteries everytime is a pain in the neck! maybe its cool for some. I chose PS3 coz its perfect for me.

I've owned both and gave away the 360 and kept ps3. I'm tired of these multi platform games looking like crap because developers are holding back for 360 and wii. Plus the point of the blu ray is disc storage a game like mgs4 would take 2 or more hd dvds again games being dumbed down for 360. Sure 360 has more crap to dl and waste money on but hd movies you dl still look horrid compared to blu ray movies. Besides who wants to play online with a bunch of kiddos?? Ps3 online is competitive gaming with adults not dominating a bunch of lil kids.

Look playstation has lost the console wars. Obviously noone cares that ps3 looks slightly more better than xbox. if ps3 was soooo much better ppl wouldnt care and spend the money to get a ps3. but the games are fun for xbox and they suxk for ps3. Why do you think online is free for ps3. When you play a game you play for fun not for the competitiveness. 99.9 percent of gamers play for fun not for the competition. thats why you dont see too many ppl on PSN. stop hating and come back to reality. the facts are there and proven that more people wanna play xbox than ps3.

@William Mays

LMAO ROFL Really.....LOL are you serious.....

Wow all i hear about is that the xbox 360 has more games than the ps3. They may have more games but gears of war and halo are the only ones that are any good. The ps3 has resistance, little big planet, motor storm, warhaw etc. I could go on for days. Also when you buy your xbox and you want high def movies or online play, you have to pay alot of money. Unlike the ps3 which everything is already built into it. Also who wants to deal with all those mike cables, power cell cables and lots of other ones. The xbox doesn't have 1080p resolution its has 720p so that makes the ps3 way better. The xbox is just sorry its overheats and you have to buy a fan to solve that by buying a fan. Also if the xbox is nex gen, why does it use batteries for the heavy controller. The ps3 controller is light weight, it has six-axis and you can play up to 75 feet away. Lastly but not least, the red ring of death. Ps3 beats the xbox 100-0

Halo isn't even a good game. Stupid people think it's good.

for xbox - xbox live, better gpu, cheaper console, anti aliasing, slightly better framerate

for ps3 - bluray, wifi, better cpu, quieter

against xbox - rrod (except new jasper boards), noise

against ps3 - expensive, games not using full potential, online community


basically either console will make you happy there pretty much the same - ps3 boast better cpu architecture which is definately better but no matter how fast your cpu is if your gpu doesnt match it ....its a bit pointless really so dont expect the ps3 to overtake, because it wont. They will both stay on par with each other

just go out and buy the console that all your friends have.. simple.

p.s
i Have a ps3 160gb, elite 120gb and a nintendo wii and an amstrad cpc 464 :) (green screen)

You forgot how the X-box isn't really HD, just an interpreter.

in my oppinion the xbox 360 is a more fun console, it may get red ring of death but i just prefer the online, all of my friends have xbox 360, i used to have one but i decided that the pc was the ultimate gaming mechine ... as of christmas time i shall have a ultimate dirext x 11 windows 7 pc !!! phenom 2 quad core @ 2.5ghz (oc) 4gb ddr2 800 ram, hd5870 1gb gpu !! = 10 times better than ps3 + 360 :) anyone and evryone add my msn:P aaron_walters: h o t m a i l . c o . u k :)

Your opinion is that of a complete idiot. Try looking at these little things intelligent people pay attention to called FACTS!!!

Honestly guys buy the one that makes sense to you...I bought a playstation 3, obviosuly because i have the opportunity to do everything on my tv, watch movies, music videos, play games... And Blue ray. ALL in one with my 55 inch lcd. It just made sense too me. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but i do enjoy the perks playstation throws.

Agree with JD.CHAVEZ

I see it more as a media machine as opposed to just a gaming machine. I've played on the xbox and i enjoyed it. But the PS3 is just so much more. I dont understand why people are saying the online community is non existant! everytime ive gone online there have been LOOOADS of other players!

I think the ps is better because you can play online for free.Also it does not have the red light.

ps3 rocks, and nothing will ever compare

Playstation3 is way better!
