Ps3 is good

Xbox 360 is good but not better

Xbox buys its way up the market buy buying all of the best new games and the most advanced technology and because its owned by microsoft it has a nearly inexaustable funding.

Ps3 dosent have all of this But is good in most other ways: better media, Free internet, Better graphics, More ease of use and better Disks

I own niether of the consoles i just play on my friends sometimes.

And why wii has way more sales is because they are way more family friendly. You dont buy a wii for the cutting edge graphics more for the interactivity and the non violent games. Perfect for familys and little kids.

no the wii wont be the victor as the ps2 is still in the running and considdering the wii is still last gen apart from its new motion controller its in competition with the ps2 so i guess the true victor is the ps2 as for this gen the 360 is doing quite well for now only its using last gen HDMI connections (no high speed HDMI, lossless audio, lip synch or deep colour, over 1080p)HDMI version 1.2 is not upto date and its maximum res limit is 1080p 1.3b can do higher than 1080p and has all the extra features like high speed and deep colour, (its only a matter of time before the ps3 gains the advantage of a newer HDMI connection a better future profed HDMI connection.) this is a one horse race the 360 is no match for the ps3 and will soon join up with its brother in the "lost the battle for domination" domain.

lol ok time to end the 360 is best argument, the 360 de interlaces its 1080i signal to 1080p its not a true 1080p signal, the 360 has a HDMI vesion 1.2 port which is out dated and wont make full use of 1.3b HDMI cables so if youve bought an expencive 12bit 1.3b HDMI cable for your 360 you wont see any difference from a cheap crappy 1.2 HDMI cable only the ps3 offers HDMI 1.3b clarity and deeper colour tones and better richer sounds, only the ps3 offers future proffing (all 360 conversions on ps3 use 15% of the consoles resorces compared to the 360 using 100%) games like uncharted 2 and MGS4 can never be ported to the 360 not cause of the size of the games but due to the 360 not being powerfull enough to run them.

as future game gevelopment gets more expencive along with the push for getter bigger games with amazing graphics comes at a price to the 360 with its last gen resources such as dual layer dvd roms and HDMI version 1.2 and its cpu already struggling to push out games similar in comparison to ps3 exclusives in terms of graphics and game size, the ps3 has blu-ray which at the minuit is already 5.5 times bigger than dvd9's due to increase in size with the demands of the games industry it also has HDMI version 1.3b which is the industry standard not to mention the shear computational power of the console still in its early days we are yet to see just how powerfull the ps3 realy is.

i know a lot of pc owners will argue about this but this is all about games consoles and has nothing to do with pc games/gamers besides pc gamers will some day create an emulator on the pc to emulate the ps3 though i think thats still a long way off as even now some current pc's still cant run emulation of ps2 hardware without some problems.

the main benefits of the ps3 are that its almost 99% pirate free (in other words hardly any pirated software along with nearly no games being hacked so people can cheat online, only some sad people have created a lag switch which is a pathetic way to win online and anyone caught using one deserves to get banned from the service)plus online is completly free to play and DLC along with movie rental/purchase is onpar with XBL (the service you have to pay for and only get a little bit extra DLC and movies but not worth it anymore).

to any 360 fanboys its time to wave your white flags and give up, you might have got your console out first but as with anything the better console is fighting back and by xmass 2010 the 360 will be in last place FACT.

PS3 60Gb original has today refused to read a disc of any sort (CD, DVD or a PS3 Game), following adice from Sony Support it appears the machine is broken.  The console boots, can play downloadedmdemos and will play music over the network vai a media server.  The problem appears to be just the DVDDrive.  An almost identical failure happened to our PS2.  Care has always been taken of the machine, it does not get particularly dusty, does not get left on when not in use and is freestanding to help the heat dissapate.  Am I just unlucky that both my PS2 & PS3 have died in the same way a year or so out of their respective warranties?
