#261:

Though you may be 16, the majority of people your age are, from what I've seen over the years, unable to make intelligible posts.

Though the PS3 does have significant hardware advantages over the X360, one thing you fail to mention is XNA, an advanced set of APIs and toolsets that support both OpenGL and Direct3D which, according to press releases and developer comments, will cause a large migration of studios to the system with a more practical SDK.

Though the original Xbox had half or less the amount of games that the Playstation 2 had, I see it being the other way around in the future.

Also, something I forgot to mention:

Whether it's 1 or 2 teraflops, it doesn't really matter at this point.

The only way I can see even in the next five years that you would need to do that many floating point operations is when you're dealing with encryption and/or prime number division, which is something way beyond the scope of a video game system. There really is no way that you would be doing even half that number of floating point operations in any point of any game that would be released in this decade.

first of prakhr or whatever the hell your name is, is it L33T you nerd. PS3 i agree may be better if you wanna play winnie the pooh, barnie, and transformers. OOOO ps3 may have one war game called killzone. And if i remeber right wasnt the first killzone suppose to kill halo. Hahahaha what a joke. All you nerds these days look apon graphics. Who cares the reson the first killzone sucked is that it had bad gameplay. and ill tell you gameplay means everthing when it comes to a game. I rather play a 2d game with great gameplay then a Amazing ps3 grahics game with horrible gameplay. As far as i know sonys dumb for focusing on system speed and graphics and stuff like that. And sonys said hardly anything about there online, while xbox360 has been focusing around gameplaye and online. Can you create custom tshirts and shoes and sell them to people over ps3, of cours not. Can you customize your own gamertag down to the "motto" and picture and intrests your in, and how many games youve beat, and how many games your betaong still, and how many games you have mastered. I mean xbox360 may not have any specs that the ps3 has but frankly not many care about only graphics. Not that my point is given i frankly think xbox 360 will sell easliy more then the ps3.

P.S. Tell me what system is coming out with 60 games at luanch which is the most games ever released at launch. Thats right xbox. And guess whats coming out when ps3 does. Halo 3 which will most likely be the the starwars III of the video game industry, and will sell more copies then you count, and i think will sell more copies the the overpriced ps3

which would you rather have.

xbox360- $400-or under, for unlimited online gaming experience, and many many many games.

or

ps3-$465-$400 for a system that can play games with AMAZING GRAPHICS. Im sorry but who ever bys the ps3 first of all is wasting there money, and second,is a nerd.

o and if anyone tell me to learn how to spell im ruching and you should sit down and go play ty the tasmanian tiger for your ps2-NERDS.

I have to disagree with you 270. Sony has more developers backing them then Xbox ever did. I agree...Halo is awesome..one of my favorite games of all times..but frankly its the only game I cared for that was on Xbox proprietarily. Specs do matter..keep telling yourself they dont..but they do. As for myself..i'm an avid RPG player...something Xbox seriously lacked. I hope they fix that. I will own both for sure.

PS. The only time someone refers to someone as a "Nerd" is when they are admitting said person is more intelligent then theirself. So your posts reads something like this :"I don't care what those smart peoplel say..they are smarter then me but i'm right"

Okay WTF, will you people stop saying s*** about the ps3 who cares about design. I think it looks fine anyway, Ps3 will blow x360 out of the water in graphics and Performance. X360 just looks horrible. Besides Playstation 2 has far better games then X-box did or Gamecube.

(("I rather play a 2d game with great gameplay then a Amazing ps3 grahics game with horrible gameplay"
Break out the dictionary & the nintendo then B*tch.))

that small little paragraph just shows your intelligence. I agree Gameplay does make alot of a game but if all the characters where stickmen and the gameplay was killer. My eyes would hurt after a while.Halo for example sucked on both.

Sonys free Online is better then having to play, So I'd just STFU as for all you other people dissing Sony and its Ps3 go on some Gay X360 board and boost about how "cool it is" and hey maybe the'll make a Gaylo 3 for all you X360 Morons.

"XD You are an IDIOT. Revolution has games from over 20 years of Nintendo history."

- I was comparing X360 and PS3, Nintendo Revolution was out of the question. So please pay attention to the context before writing anything.

"PS3 i agree may be better if you wanna play winnie the pooh, barnie, and transformers."

- OK... then I guess Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4, Tekken Next, UT2007, GTA PS3, Vision Gran Turismo etc. are going to be extremely insignificant titles???

"Besides Playstation 2 has far better games then X-box did or Gamecube."

- Totally agree

""All you nerds these days look apon graphics."

Yes ,nice spelling,and of course graphics matter,its what all the xbox weenies boast isnt it?And for all that the only good game is halo,so stfu.""

- Totally Agree

"ps3-$465-$400 for a system that can play games with AMAZING GRAPHICS. Im sorry but who ever bys the ps3 first of all is wasting there money, and second,is a nerd."

- OK so if I want to play Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4, Tekken Next, UT2007, GTA PS3, Vision Gran Turismo, Fight Night Round 3 etc. it’s a waste of money…..OK MY BAD (Kyle, if you didn’t understand, I was being derisive – go to dictionary.com if you don’t know what that means)

Ahem... Nerds are cool people... they are mostly the smart ones who actually build the console in the first place... all you rich spoiled guys who don't know proper English enjoy these nerd's hard work...

“overpriced ps3”

- Nothing has been revealed about the price yet….

On a side note, I think all the next-generation machines are amazing…. I am personally a fan of the Halo series and will buy a PS3 and an X360 (maybe a Rev as well – Yeah and SNES still rocks)

PS. Prakhar is my real name.

Your comments: First of all, im glad that sony have finally done something to make their system better then xbox. After all this time of xbox drongos saying
playstations sux because of their speed and graphics, well how the tides have
turned. Xbox 360 is now the console that sux compared 2 playstation 3's specs. So
shut up xbox yobbos ur systems worse this time.

Your just jealous because playstation kicked your arse back 2 the hole they call america in the sales, they spent 2 billion on advertising and crap and only sold 20 million consoles while sony sold 80 million.XBox will forever suckbecause there xbox. Its simple playstation is better because its playstation.

Who wants to play with my banana?

Shit, did monkey's invent this video game system or what?

A chick could use that controller as a head band.

Hey everyone, Spider-man 3 has just come out! Oh wait, that's not Spider-man 3.

Well, disign isn't everything. I herd the PS3 is 2 times faster than X-Box 360, 34 times better than PS2, 4 times stronger than a computer? (well, I just herd that, but I doubt it's true.

Bad things about PS3: Design lacks effort, etc.

Bad things about X-Box 360: Too slow, and yet again, design lacks effort, etc.

Bad things about Nintendo Revolution: Not powerful enough, and yet again lacks design effort.

SCORE BOARD

PS3 = 0 points!

Nintendo Revolution = 0 points!

X-Box 360 = 0 points!

So far, I think all systems are equally as good and equally as bad. I have only seen pictures I cannot judge how good they are.

ALL THREE SYSTEMS TRIED TO BRING OUT THE FUTURE BY MAKING THEIR SYSTEMS LOOK FUTURISTIC! THEY ALL FAILED!!! MAN, WE DON'T LIVE IN THE TIME OF THE JETSONS.

Man, there's only three companies left for making video games, if they all go bankrupt, video games as we know it, will all end up in museums. I hope all three companies fix up their systems before releasing them, if it's not too late.

does it really matter how the console/controller looks like.
if u know how sony works then
ud expect some nice ass features from them
and i expect some nice features from them
doesnt matter how it looks

and other consoles too
im sure theres always gonna be a flaw
in designs
cuz everyone has different taste of designs
but im sure they have nice unique features
to make up for it.

if u just criticize consoles like a mad man
then y dont u just go make ur own consoles.
thats right u cant
so might as well just be content and enjoy with ps3, xbox360, nintendo rev.

I'm not a PS2 Fanboy, but I own only a PS2 because of the games that it had.

I don't care how it looks, because quite frankly, the most attractive looking console in the world wouldn't mean anything to me if it had poor graphics and games.

I'll eventually buy a console based on an average of graphics and games for the systems, choosing the best from those fields.

(peice of advice sony,let the starting price be at <$600 so it sells more than xbox 360. trust me at <$600 it will sell, you'll get your profits and everyone will be happy!)

To post #293. Are you trying to say that if you like Xbox you are gay? I personally don't like that comment, simply because you dont see me making some of these dumbass remarks about that.
Also, I happen to like Xbox, and I am definitely not gay. I came in here to talk about the fact that the PS3
controller is not as bad as many people are saying, but from what I see, you are definitely a Sony fanboy, and that is sad.

There is no use trying to get through to some of you, so why do I even try sometimes?

How can you all dog sony for trying to be innovative. After two versions of the playstation a little changes kills you all!?!? So your saying that because the controller looks different you won't play it, come on. When the very first playstation came out we were all hooked on the six button controllers of Sega and Nintendo. We thought there was no way in the world that this would catch on cause look at how many buttons the Jaguar had. Believe it or not we all loved it and made Sony the leading game system. Give it a chance before you dog it. They changed it so they could give you wireless capability without having to hook up a stupid little infra-red device. Enjoy what they are giving us, more power, more graphics, and the enjoyment of knowing that Microsoft sucks at gaming.

I do not like this controller but is everyone aware of the current lawsuit????? Sony has gotten sued for 93.7 million dollars for the old controllers dual shock analog configuration. They had to redesign the controller as part of this lawsuit. Sony is currently appealing this lawsuit in court right now but one thing remains is they have to change the design from the old configuration. Agree, this controller looks like you need to be a contorshinist (spelling) to play it..but its better then losing another 93.7 million dollars.

Well, when i saw it the first time, i also thought: WHAT! they must be joking. But after a week of looking at it, i kind of love it's outrageous design. I have looked at many pic's of both the ps3's controller and x360's controller, and i think the reason for the ps3's extended handlebars is storage for the batteries, if you look at the x360's it's got the batteries in a big compartment under it's controller (now that's ugly)(mine opinion). Also if you look at the pic's of both controller's, you will discover that the x360's controller, is screwed together like the ps2's controller, whereas the ps3's (what the hell have they done, welded it together?). Also, who says it's the final design.

Who wants to play with my banana, oops, I mean, my Sony Playstation 3 controller?

Why is the controller so fucked up looking?

A monkey invented it because it remind him of (his), ahem, I mean, (a) banana.

All they're doing is increasing Nintendo's Zelda games for sale by the awful (BOOMERANG) look.

All we know is that the style SUCKS, just like X-Box 360 and Nintendo Revolution!

Maybe the systems will redeem theirselves by graphics, game play, etc.

Hopefully, all systems will change their designs before releasing.

WE CANNOT JUDGE THESE SYSTEMS BY APPEARANCE. SHIT, LOOK AT US ALL. OVER 300 QUOTES, 95% NEGATIVE, OVER JUST THE APPEARANCE OF THESE SYSTEMS. IT'S KIND OF SAD, BUT I AGREE WITH ALL OR MOST OF THE QUOTES OUT THERE ANYWAYS, WHICH ARE ALL ON APPEARANCE. MAYBE NINTENDO WILL WIN THIS BATTLE. SHIT, THE LAST TIME NINTENDO'S GENERATION WON WAS WHEN N64 OR THE SNES CAME OUT. I THINK IT WAS THE SNES, BUT THE REASON IT WON IS BECAUSE ALL IT HAD TO FACE WAS SEGA GENESIS, LOL!

I like to say a few things to the guy who wrote #257
what the fuck is wrong with you your only saying that crap about the PS3. I understand the your a big fan of Xbox 360 about I am going to lay the truth about the PS3 and also I will tell you I been Folow PS3 for the Last Three years of my life.

The Switch in the back of the PS3 is there is to not mess up the smooth look of the PS3 other than the cheap fuck up look of the Xbox 360. On my next major change of your crap the PS3 can specialize online just like the Xbox or even better. Another craped up point on your shit is the PS3 is the one with the double speed against the other rivals not that bullshit of a system you call the Xbox 360 and also the graphics are way better then the Xbox 360 can make. Ok you may have gotten me with the system look but the PS3 can still play by your rules. The controllers may look like a banana because they needed to increase the size to fit the wireless connecter and the batterys and the PS3 can connect to Seven controllers than the stupid and slow 4 controllers Xbox 360. Don't tell me the your no good with numbers but the PS3 will have Final Fantasy XII then Xbox's Final Fantasy XI also MetalGearSolid 4, Devil May Cry 4 and many other cool games and PS3 will have ten years of games in one box then Xbox's 5 years of shit games Execpt Halo 1, and 2.

3.Latest technology.
4.Twice the power.
5.Better games.
6.Better graphics.
7.Better online gameplay.

I don't get why people are getting all butt hurt about the controllers, if you look back to PS1 the original controllers were changed to the analog ones in time. Just give it some time and for sure there will be new controllers and new styles, not to mention other companies making some like Mad Catz and other companies similar to that. Plus since the PS3 is being relased after the xbox360, they still have more time to enhance things and make the system even better than it already is. I will just let my friends buy the xbox360 and play it til PS3 comes out. Since when it does they will all want to play it instead. Oh yeah Kill Zone 2 will beat the living crap out of Halo 3, just gotta wait for it. And as for all those other games releases, I am just in a good hype to wait for those to come out, so amazing...
