PS3 users take four days longer than Xbox 360 gamers to reach 43 million kills in Battlefield 1943...
Let's recap a bit before we get into this particular console war: Alongside the release of Battlefield 1943 earlier this month, DICE launched a competition to unlock the fourth map for the game with the following conditions: when a total of 43 million kills are reached in games over Xbox Live and PSN, the Coral Sea Air Superiority map will be released for each respective console.
While Xbox 360 gamers reached the milestone last Tuesday, DICE has now announced via Twitter that PS3 gamers passed the 43 million kill mark on Saturday and have now successfully unlocked the dogfight only, Coral Sea map.
While the PS3 version of the game was made available a day after the Xbox 360 game was released, that still means that Xbox 360 gamers ratcheted up the kill rate considerably faster than PS3 users - three days faster to be precise.
Let the fanboy wars commence in the comments...
DICE is currently Tweeting about a couple of teething problems implementing the new map onto PSN but, if their record of fixing Battlefield 1943 problems is anything to go by, then everything should be running smoothly in no time.

oh and that brillient motion controller from sony looks so origonal (blatent copy of the Wii mote) cant sony actually come up with somthing that no ones done before instead of stealing/copying from other companies, and Wii motion plus is just as good if not better than the new sony copy motion controller.

natal has no lag issues the only one with issues is you acting like a pathetic fanboy, everyone who tried natal and the ps3 motion controlers said they were fantastic and couldnt wait to play games when they both release later on in 2010.
POST 20 YOU ARE THAT VERY FANBOY RETARD YOUR BLABBING ON ABOUT.

You guys need to stop talking about how only there's 3 classes. Instead of having 6 or 7 classes, you have 3 that has everything you would want in a FPS.
Bazookas, C4 (Dynamite, if you will), Knife, Bayonette, Grenade Gun Attachment, Swords, SMGs, Pistols, Wrenches to fix stuff (engineers/engineer-like class, forget the name).
EVERYTHING you could want packed down into 3 classes. Sure, it's less to count as enemies, but it's still great for DLC.
REMEMBER, IT'S NOT A FULL GAME. IT'S A [#@!?] ARCADE GAME. Jeez, people expect an arcade game to be z0mfg great.

ok ppl who compare xbox and ps3 have no life. U all are fan boys.... You play this game on Xbox 360, then play it on PS3, you will find that there is NO [#@!?] DIFFERENCE. JUST DIFFERENT CONTROLS. TRY IT ONE DAY [#@!?]S, BEFORE YOU TALK [#@!?] ABOUT ANYTHING.

lol yet another jelous ps3 owner knowing that natal will finally be the last nail in sonys coffin.
the reasone the 360 gets priority isnt cause its a crappy system its cause the ps3 is complete and utter sh.it.e thats not even worth it no more now that panasonic have brought out a blu-ray recorder/player (perfect if you have sky hd and want to record hd movies in hd).
the 360 has loads more support from the games developers and has a bigger user base.
end of the day YOU ps3 OWNERS LOSE END OF.
