Hola everyone.

I have seen many gamers on forums discussing on the debate: Xbox 360 vs PS3. Half section of gamers says Xbox 360 is best and other half says PS3 is superior and debate goes on and on. Many newbies gets confused and they do not know which consoles to buy.

I don’t have any of the consoles at my home. I have 2 friends, one of whom has got xbox 360 and other has got both 360 and ps3. So i just visit their places frequently to play games and experience the gaming on both consoles. So here i am going to share my experience with both consoles.

Before sharing my experience, i want the readers to know that this post is not on the debate: Xbox 360 vs PS3. This is post reflects just my experience so don’t make any issues with it.

So first i will give u a glance on inside the two consoles that run these amazing game titles:

PS3:

a) Seven Single Threaded Processors (3.2 GHz)

b) One Multi-Threaded cell processor (3.2 GHz)

c) Nvidia ‘RSX’ custom made graphic processor

Xbox 360:

a) Triple-Dual threaded core Xenon Processor (3.2 GHz)

b) ATI ‘Xenon’ GPU

That was the inside configuration of both systems.

I am not a fan of either consoles. I am a gamer and i love to play and enjoy games.

Many gamer says that they have played specific game titles on both consoles and they found Xbox 360 version better and superior than PS3’s for example: GTA 4. But i would like to mention that almost all multi-platform titles like GTA 4, Assasin’s creed..etc are a 360 to PS3 port, so these games may not look better on PS3 and look good in Xbox 360. Like GTA 4 is a 360 to PS3 port, so developers had to cut some corners in order to ship the title on market in time. So i would say if time and money was there then the games would have been absolutely identical.

Gears Of War was an amazing title which is a 360 exclusive title. I am a big big fan of gears of war franchise and i still play it with my friends on split-screen mode on his xbox system and i never get bored. But but i and ofcourse you will notice that the game was short because xbox 360 only had dual layer dvd to work with, whereas PS3 has more disc space to work with to make bigger and better games. When KillZone 2 came out, it had an amazing graphics and i noticed that PS3 totally outperformed 360. Uncharted was also amazing cinematic game. Killzone 2 is one of the best fps games that i have played.

I love Xbox live. The interface is excellent and interaction between player is damn awesome and feature like achievements is also cool. I liked Xbox live more the way than PSN. In PSN i cannont send message to my friend from within the game. I didn’t get the facility of voice chatting on PSN. On Xbox live i can reach my friends right away in a single button press, send them voice/text message and invite my friend to the server where i am playing. Xbox live is just very very cool. But PSN is free for most part and for Xbox live u have to subscribe dollars $$$ But i am really cool with Xbox live, its just very cool than PSN.

Putting Games on side for the moment and talking about movies than thumbs UP to PS3. PS3 is undoubtely the superior movie player with its integrated Blu-Ray technology. It has also got amazing sound quality. So i would say here Ps3 is far more better than Xbox 360.

Xbox 360 makes a annoying background sound which really annoys me while watching the movie. PS3 is quiet during the movie on.

One thing that my friend and i like is Xbox live arcade that provides variety of arcade games than PSN provides.

In past Xbox 360 had a good line-up of exclusive games than Ps3 had. In 2007 Xbox had exclusive hit titles like Halo 3, BioShock and Mass Effect, whereas PS3 had titles like Uncharted, ratchet and clank future:tools of destruction. Many gamers said that PS3 didn’t have good varied exclusive titles. But 2008 was the PS3’s years as they had the best game line up with titles like Metal Gear Solid 4, Resistance 2 and Litle Big Planet wheras 360 had a nice titles like Gears Of War 2. So varied of good games is no longer an issues for PS3 as it was in past.

Well this was my experience till now, but there is more to experience. There is so much tight competition between the consoles. Each console has their advantages and disadvantages. I enjoy both system.

Gracias.

In year 2008, xbox 360 and playstation 3 were head to head fighting for the top spot. According to the gamer.blorge.com both consoles sold/shipped approximately 10.8 million for the entire year.

The PS3 had a best games line up in year 2008:

METAL GEAR SOLID 4

RESISTANCE 2

Better games line up was the PS3’s saving grace. According to NPD PS3 sold more than doubled the sales of the XBOX 360 after the metal gear solid 4 was released.

The XBOX 360 also sold as many as the ps3 because of the massive price cut near the end of the year. The XBOX 360 also had a good games like Gears Of War 2 :

But the low price moved XBOX 360 head to head with PS3.

With PS3 and XBOX 360 getting sold same amount, the exclusive games: Gears of war 2 and metal gear solid 4 also sold around the same amount around 5 million.

So year 2009 will see the interesting race between xbox 360 and ps3 as ps3 is cutting their price.

According to nexgenwars.com , they are showing the current sales number of consoles:
