PS3 Vs Xbox360

[Chained Chaos]

Console wars in general are pretty stupid. I go where the games are; I find enough games that I like on a system, I get that system so I can play them. It's supposed to be about the games, but that often gets left by the wayside when fanboyism storms into the room.

PC will naturally always have better graphics, so that's out of the discussion. Between the 360 and the PS3, though? There isn't too much of a difference, visually speaking. Sure, the PS3 has the hardware advantage in most aspects, but nobody has really been able to use them effectively enough to make a difference.

As for hate against the PS3, most arguments are pretty weak. LOLO PS3 SUCKS $599 NO GAEMS ENJOY UR AIDS. The price is really nothing new if you've been around long enough to know what you're talking about. The SNES, for example, sold for about $200 when it was released back in 1990. In today's market, factoring in inflation and economical changes, that's not too far off from current console prices. The Playstation, four years later, sold for $300. The PS2 kept that price with its release in 2000.

Also, keep in mind that $600 was only for the top-end PS3 with the largest hard-drive. Sure, Sony had to up the price some because of the hardware, but my point is that it's not such a drastic, unheard of price range if you consider gaming's history. It's simply that by comparison, with the current gen, it's the priciest of the three major consoles.

All that being said, I own both Microsoft and Sony products, and I enjoy them both fairly equally. As I said before, it's the games that really matter.
