Wow, from what I read there, blows away XBOX 360 performance wise. Xbox will always have those awesome games though....

^What were you saying no it doesn't to? The games for performance? Because they really need to make Amped 2 for Playstation 2...that's basically what I was getting at.





J CREW REPRESENTIN'

holy carp that looks sick, but not nearly as cool looking as the PSX. When I went to japan I saw one and it was way cooler looking. The PS3 probably has batter graphics though.

wow this whole next gen console war is getting intense. gates is talking trash about sony and how ps3 wil 'meet its doom' when he releases halo 3 the same day as xbox360

.

One 3.2GHz Cell processor—total system performance rated at 2.18 teraflops (uh, that’s actually about twice what Microsoft is claiming the Xbox 360 will do.... might be better than x-box?

also how sick is the dual digital outputs that also allow for an extended game display, with the action on one screen and either game information or video chat on the second.

controllers look like crap

what the hell? isn't the xbox 360 the handheld competiotion for the PSP and the xbox 2 the competition for the PS3??

Strike 3

or are they the same thing with two different names?

Strike 3

ps3 controllers look shitty. xbox is way better than ps2 anyways and i am sure xbox 2 will be the same way over ps3

Strike 3

there is no competition for psp


.

I dont see why the people responding to those forums said it looked like shit, i thought the console looked fine.

We'll have you dead pretty soon.

I like how Nintendo is even really a player anymore.
The original best system ever, now following the path of Sega.

Hmm, something that Xbox 360 has over every console is still the production of Amped 3...I'd buy it just for that.

I almost broke my penis once, i fell down my gfs stairs naked and with a boner, i was never so scared in my life - Lateralis

doesn;t matter. for most everybody they will just stick with their systems so no point in arguin bout it

DRINK TILL YOU THROW UP

first of all, you cant directly compare the two. everyone did this in the past, and its not really possible to get an accurate comparison just going by hardware specs because the architecture of the new x box and playstation are clearly different. second of all, i would hope that the ps3 is going to be a more powerful, feature-rich system, seeing as how it is coming out much later than the new x box. thirdly, i dont think nintendo really has any role in producing a new console anymore, market-share wise, the gamecube flopped compared to x box and ps2, so it would make sense for nintendo to concentrate on what they have always done best, and that's make excellent, unique games.

i take back my comment about nintendo not coming out with a new console, apparently they are.

that controller looks so shitty

I wont buy another game system, i love my XBox because all i use it for is DVD's.



i dont really have a life, but i am lazy. and i got sick of weeding through all you peoples shit cause... basically im smarter than you.

I'll still wait a couple years till stuff is 3D to the point that you pretty much can't get more 3D. They have been smoothing out the polygons more and more each system. Give it another 3-5 years and you might see a slowing down point in systems..innovation is going to have to step up or something.

*NS Skateboarders* Vas y il l'a cassé!

how many controller related injuries do you think will happen in the first month?

in comparison, ps2 has shitty graphics compared to xbox....

ne one know if ps3 is going to be high definitiona dn are the specs relating to graphics superior?

if ps3 sells like past sony system has sold it will be much more successful. Sony has like 57 percent of the video game market right now which is amazing, regardless of if the PS3 is better than xbox or not it is going to sell more becuase Sony is the kill in that market.

well if every1 says the ps3 will suck, no one will get it

there is no chance ps3 is going to suck, ps2 doesn't suck and ps3 is going to be better so it won't suck. I found this in an article below its not 57 percent its less.

In 2004, Sony's older PlayStation 2 led the U.S. console wars with 43 percent of the market, according to Jupiter Research. The original Xbox was a distant No. 2 with 19 percent, followed by Nintendo's GameCube at 14 percent. The remainder included handheld game systems.

it does seem that you need an HDTV or else these sytems will not live up to thier potential.
