I was talking to Joey about the Wii and how fun it was.  He told me that he was holding out for a PS3.  Ok, fine.  I told him that the PS3 isn’t all that good and he… fucking laughed at me.  Some of you may not know this, but I am very prideful and someone laughing at me kinda pisses me off.  Especially someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about.  So, I decided that I am going do a little research on the situation.  It turns out that the general consensus that I have found is the Xbox 360 is better in terms of game performance than the PS3.  I found a couple of links, but I will warn you, they can be kinda in depth.

It seems the 360 was developed with game programmers in mind and apparently the amount of loads required to run those games is better served by the 360’s three general purpose CPUs rather than the PS3’s seven DSP CPUs and one general purpose CPU.

I personally find the 360’s controllers much more comfortable for me than the PS3.  Now, I haven’t held a PS3 controller, but I have played the PS2.  The controller is the exactly the same, except the PS3’s controllers are wireless.  I’ve played First Person Shooters (FPSs) on the 360 and the PS2.  I have to say that Microsoft has a much better controller design than Sony.

However all of this is personal preference.  So, if you are a Sony fan, then that’s ok, you have your own preferences, but at least admit that game designers will have to work long and hard to develop a new coding method to take full advantage of the PS3’s power.  Also, don’t be a fanboy and a retard.  Respect other people’s opinion.
