Wuts better, ps3 or 360?

Question

im tryin to figure out which one is actually better

Answer 1

well i have a ps3 360 and a wii but it rly depends,

360- best live expericce and very stable servers but money nessessary, shooting games are easier as of the controller design (especially sniping) you can keep a mic and do lots more, games a little cheaper, more ppl using the online service, less money, little lighter then a ps3, non included hard drive though more space and easy attachment

ps3- free though unstable live, graphics argulablly little better, Blu Ray and DVD capablilties, can also play ps2 and ps1 games without any attachments, can conect to the internet, can connect to a psp, built in hard drive

personally i prefer my 360 better but its rly up to what u prefer

Answer 2

I am going to the be least biassed, fan boy, i can be. Naturally i only own a wii, but i was also thinking about getting a 360 or PS3, from looking at specs and over all value the PS3 wins in a long shot, you have a nice blu-ray player, use it or not, it will get popular within these next couple years, second, its a powerhouse of a console, you can run a computer on it(it has better a unique processor). Both consoles have good games. PS3 is more money, but your getting a bang for your buck, this systems full potential has not even been shown. Also has about a 3% faliure rate(breaking)

The xbox360 is also a amzing system, for a cheaper price, you get more exclusive games(halo 3) and a unique gamming experience. Also has a 35% failure rate(althought it is getting fixed, for around 2 years now...)

Answer 3

You choose. Ps3 is totally for multimedia. A large-sized PSP. Has internet. And has billions of games to be realease. Can play videos and music. While 360, on the other hand, is for online gaming. A Gaming rig pc. Its most famous support is Xbox Live. But can also play DVDs and music. In xbox Live, you create a username and then add friends, play music, etc. More like Myspace.

Worst parts:

Ps3: Too expensive.

Xbox 360: Has the Red Ring of Death which destroys your 360 and you can't play it anymore.

If you like Wii, I'll tell you something about it.

It has enhanced motion games and the leader of Gaming consoles for sports.

Hope you choos one carefully.  

Answer 4

I have a ps3...

But honestly speaking i feel both consoles are the same...each have there own weaknesses

Answer 5

I made the mistake of buying a ps3, here is why it's not as good as 360

1. 360 has achievments (although ps3 is getting trophies, not many games have them)

2. 360 is cheaper

3. 360 is faster when updating software

4. You most likely know someone that has a 360 to play with online

5. 360 has all the same games as ps3 and then more. The ps3 exclusive games are never any good (in my opinion)

The only thing good about ps3 in my opinion is that it has better graphics and you don't have to pay for online.

Answer 6

No! If the PS3 were really that great, don't you think they'd be releasing more PS3 games rather than PS2 games? It's because the PS3 sucks, it's expensive and no one wants to buy it! That's why most still have PS2's. The 360 rules! Online Halo3 action. Upcoming Halo Wars, Gears of War 2!!! Fable 2, and many more great games!! 360 any day!

Answer 7

Depends on what you mean by "better"?

PS3 seems like a better piece of hardware, plus it has built in Blu-ray player functionality.  

While the 360 has a wider gaming library at the moment and apparently very good online services.  

Answer 8

Company:

Microsoft is a company which experiences are mostly computers not games. Windows Vista is a disaster and 50% of people switch back to Windows XP. Microsoft never answered people's problems, this is why people turn to Mac. When Microsoft heard about their Red Ring of Death, they didn't fix it, instead updated the warranty.

Sony's first Playstation was a success, so they know their field with this. Their smart and reliable and always help their customers when they need too. When Playstation 2 had a lens error, it was Sony who provided how to clean your Playstation 2 with a cotton swab and alcohol, not someone else. They didn't ask you the send your system in so they can fix it, they admitted the problem and gave a simple do-it-yourself solution.

Price:

Look at the bigger picture. With the Playstation 3 you are getting a Blu-Ray DVD player which like $300 on the market for the cheapest one. Playstation 3 most expensive model cost $600 bucks. Xbox 360 most expensive model cost $450 bucks. Let's say Microsoft don't come out for another console for 5 years so lets add their $50 subscription fee to play Xbox Live. That's $250 dollars + $450 dollars for a Xbox 360 in 5 years minus the games. So you are paying more than the Playstation 3 just to use it's features. Features that should have been granted to you when you spent the $450 bucks for their console.

Problems:

Playstation 3 had a slight bug problem (3% in consoles worldwide) but was fixed right away with re-releases of the consoles. People complained about their Sixaxis controller not having rumble technology so Sony has worked on Dualshock 3, which will be coming out in Spring 2008. They actually listen when someone complains.

Xbox 360 currently has a major hardware malfunction called the Red Ring of Death (A play off the name Blue Screen of Death) that only Microsoft can fix. This is a problem in 33% of their consoles in the United States (1 out of 3). Even in their new consoles, these problems still occur. Microsoft has offered to fix it for free and extended their warranty. The problem is it takes 6 weeks to get your Xbox 360 back and it could get stolen in the mail and you won't get reimbursed. In fact Xbox 360 is number 1 in the top ten bad electronics in 2007. Everyone I know is on their second console. If only Microsoft would tell local Gamestops how to fix the problem, but they don't have the best interest in gamers in mind.

Games:

Xbox 360 has better games than the Ps3 now, but by the end of 2008, the Playstation 3 will have way more better games. How do I know? E3 2007 graded every console. Wii got a C- because they talked about their success. Xbox 360 got a C because they talk about their games in 2007 such as Halo and BioShock. The Ps3 got a B- because their longevity is noticed and their games in 2008 will be the best out of the 3 consoles.

Xbox 360 has had a head start for a year and their games are slightly better than Ps3. Their top 3 games: Halo 3, Gears of War, and Bioshock are all First Person Shooters. They don't have a mix array of games. Microsoft dishes a lot of cash to the developers to keep games exclusive.

The best games for the Xbox 360 has come and gone. So you tell me you're going to sit there and wait 2-3 years for Halo 4.

Well right now there's Resistance, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Ratchet and Clank, Virtua Fighter 5, Heavenly Sword, Stranglehold, Assassin's Creed, Virtua Tennis 3, Folklore, Uncharted, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, Guitar Hero 3, Singstar and Call of Duty 4. Some games are for the Xbox 360 as well.

Upcoming exclusive games for the PS3 are Killzone 2, Haze, Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Afrika, Motorstorm 2, Wipeout, Yakuza 3, LittleBigPlanet, Infamous, White Knight Chronicles, Disgaea 3, The Getaway 3, Heavy Rain, SOCOM: Confrontation, Wardevil, LA Noire, Tekken 6 and God of War 3 will all be coming out as PS3 exclusives. Also the maker of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus is making his next game exclusively on PS3.

Thats like 15 exclusives with high 9.0 reviews from Gamespot & GameInformer. Most of these games take over a month to complete so you won't be putting the Ps3 down for quite some time now.

Developers had 2 years to dish out games for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 is not far behind.

Accessory:

The only accessory you need and should really buy is a new inter cooler fan for the Xbox 360. You should buy it before the Xbox 360 break on you. Why won't Microsoft give it you guys for free? Because they don't care about their gamers and see this as a lost.

Playstation 3 on the other hand has numerous accessories. They had bluetooth headsets, the new eyetoy which will make the Ps3 a lot similar to Wii with kid games, internet browser. Did you know that Sony is creating an application to allow users to record Live TV. So you're getting a TiVo with a Blu-Ray DVD Player.

Answer 12

First, check the archived questions. This has been asked a few times a day, every day, for the last year or so.

Second, you are going to get incredibly biased opinions from the fanboys from either system. Opinions which are not based in fact whatsoever.

Take for instance, the guy above that wrote the essay bashing Xbox.

I guarantee that he doesn't own both systems, and his opinion is widely based on a misconception of the features and abilities of the system and Microsoft in general.

Both systems have equal strengths and weaknesses.

Go to a game store, look at the games available. Those are the only differences between the systems.

Base your choice on the selection.

I'm so tired of hearing this question over and over.
