An answer to a question, at least like mine, usually starts something like, "Because ____(your arguement here)."

The most obvious answer is there is really no fuss getting a console online to the average person. To you and I this doesn't matter, but to someone who is computer illiterate, it makes a huge difference.
Oh, and some of your info is off Xouen, the XBox 360's processor(Not video processor, just processor) is superior to the PS3s. Anyone who has put together a computer knows that the video card plays a bigger role so long as the CPU suffices, but that's aside the point here :P Also, when introducing the two consoles you should try to be less biased, even though you do have your own opinion. If you gave the ups and downs to both systems, then explained why you would rather go with the PS3, you would persuade more people to go with your point of view. |

What i look at is the variety of games. Games i trust so i'll most likley go with the Ps3 because they always release games that are GOOD and release a variety of games as well. Tekken, DMC4,MGS4,FInal Fantasy, Resident Evil 5(Both systems), Most Likley a Dragonball Z games(Not sure if it will be Budokai),A KingdomHeartsIII(HOPEFULLY). Hmmm..what else? I haven't been reading into this stuff latley but i'm pretty sure i'll go with the Ps3 for(Like i said at the beginning of the paragraph) the variety of games. XBOX360, it taking a risk by not going with MOST games that people trust but trying to revive dead games that people didn't like nor want to play in the first place. Or they're just brining back old games. Perfect Dark Zero, i never played that i'm sure it's good but i really don't know how that will turn out. Ugh, my head hurts trying to remeber games that will release for the 360 i had to go by memory with the Ps3 games too lol. OH, elder scrolls oblivion i wasn't a fan of the Elder Scrolls game released for the Xbox but it was pretty decent.Also, graphics wise XBOX360 uses a flashy, glittery, fakish type graphics if you'd pay attention to most of the screenshots you'd find the sun glare ridculous. Ps3, is a more sharp, crystal clear, more realistic type, Graphics to where they show of the character models with AMAZING detail(Fight night round 3, Killzone2, Def jam 3). So XBOX360 try to hard to make the graphics pop but meanwhile Ps3 goes into more detail to make the gameplay more efficent and make the graphics blend with the gameplay. Sony's approach is really to get the player to TRUELY interact with the eviroment around you in which is why i liked games like(Shenmue, ARc the Lad, Final Fantasy, and other RPgs) Now i can do that with games that you wouldn't expect to do that in. I am truely WILLING to pay any amount of money(Under $1000) to buy the Ps3 meanwhile i am only willing to pay (Under $300) for the xbox360 for games that may not even be good because once you buy the 360 you don't even know what you're expecting but if you're willing to take that risk then go right ahead. I'm serious about my gaming i want to have the best experience POSSIBLE and i want to play games i know and love and even let some new games into my life :).
So, it's apparent that my vote is to the Ps3. Right, now i'm going to educate myself on the Xbox360 and the Ps3 by going to www.gamespot.com and watching numerous gameplay vids and just plain graphical showcases. Here is a MGS4 screen shot(Ps3) of a man standing in the dark(I can't spell his damned name) Look closley to the details and the way they did the sunlight from the partially closed blinds and the computer screen light shining off of his face. Look at the way sony handles their Sun glare not too fake but FREAKISLY REAL. Okay, here's elder scrolls oblivion(Xbox360) lol Errr...this is self-explaintory so i'm not going to type anything else... Although, Dead or alive looks good but it just doesn't compare.. |

AND WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING??
But seriously, what he is asking is why would you get on the internet on your console, if you already can on your computer... I just think it's a bonus, maybe kids who don't have their own computer can use it to get online.. |

He has not answered a single question I asked him.

I honestly could care less about which of these is better, but your reading the specs completely wrong. The clockspeed on the xbox 360 is 500 mhz, while the ps3 comes in at 550. The ps3 and xbox both have reported cpu clockspeed of 3.2 ghz.
I trust gamespot more than I trust you. http://hardware.gamespot.com/ Sony-PlayStation-3-C-15015-x-4-4 Whoops, left out an important word, the graphics clockspeed is the lower number. |

So i played both sides fairly, be sure to check back for more Xbox360 and Ps3 screenshots or you can post screenshots yourself.

The PS3 is going to r0x0r the s0x0rz off of the XBOX 360, besides who wants to feed Microsoft even MORE of their money?
|
Ah, wouldn't it be funny if Revolution blew those 2 away and you didn't even list it?

Next thing you know, [the games is bad guy](I forgot his name at the moment) will be saying that "the X-Box 360 allows pornography access to minors and sites that show how to make bombs so they cna blow up our shcools. The only way to save our children is to stop the production of X-Box 360s!". Or somethin similar to that. |

Hey, Why did you show us an actual gamplay shot from the Xbox 360 , and then show us Rendered 1 time movie shots from the PS3?
2 X you are practically illegible, you may be from a different country so I will not press this issue. |

You don't know for a fact that that was pre-rendered and that could be for a FACT a true gameplay pic for MGS4. Seriously, why would they take so much time to pre-render ALL of their opening games? That would be foolish for why would you give your games such hype, but when you actually release them you give them a horrid peice of crap? Sony, wouldn't be foolish enough to do so for that would forever tarnish their reputation. No one would ever trust them AGAIN for when it's time for Ps4 to come out, people would be like "Aww..that's unbelievable..they probably just rendered that." So, i do not believe that sony would waste their time pre-rendering the games in the FIRST place, and i do NOT believe they'd be so foolish to pre-render them.

Uh, if I'm not mistaken, pre-rendering is like introductory movie sequences and such.
Could be wrong, however. |

Yeah, but they would be foolish to say that it was the game's true gameplay. That's all i'm trying to say, really.

Errr..we never seen anything from the Nintendo Revolution andi won't get it because there's a great chance there won't even be online for the system because the creator is "Anti-online".

Pfft. "XBOX 360 vs. PlayStation 3" .... that's not even a fair competition. The XBOX sucked originally, and the only thing it had going for it was Halo (since SpiderMan was available to other systems). The GameCube was better than the XBOX. As far as I see it, PS3 > Revolution > XBOX 360. The Revolution doesn't look too exciting, what with the whole remote shaped controller and all, but it will still have better titles behind it(Super Smash Bros. , Legend of Zelda, Sonic/Shadow the Hedgehog, etc.) than the 360. Overall though, the PS3 is going to own.
I remember how sad I was when I looked at the specs for the PS2 compared to the GameCube and XBOX, and saw that it was the worst. Now I'm glad to see Sony taking a stand to develop their processing power and online playability. I think I'll save up for the PS3 and get that first, since I'll want to make sure I get it and it will surely be the most expensive. Then I'll go for the Revolution. After that....I may look into gettin that stylish "Micro" Nintendo's been waving around. Hiead |

The only reason we did NOT list the revolution is because we have NOT seen gameplay footage nor screenshots of any of their games. Therefore, we do not know how it would turn out. It would be foolish to assume that a system you basically know nothing about(Except it's uncanny features) would suceed over 2 systems that you know much more about. Nintendo, basically is working on keeping up with sony. Since the DS obviously paled in comparison to the PSP they started working on the Micro. SO nintendo is basically trying to one-up sony in the handheld and main console departments. Nintendo, is also foolish for not showing off their power so they could sign new developers that Ps3 and Xbox360 had signed. Now they're just left with the leftovers and of course, the developers that have been with them for so long. I don't trust nintendo for they do not have my type/style of games. They go for a more childish approach, all the while i like slashing countless people mercilessly(But not to the point of repetivness). I like the depth and drive of games like MGS4 and the thrill and action of games like DMC4 and Ninja Gaiden. Sony, is handling this perfectly, they're not trying too hard. You'd think by working on something so big as the Ps3 they would simply overload by dealing with the Ps2 AND the PSP as well. They're simply stressing nintendo itself by doing so. Even MICROSOFT was intrigued and decided to put out a handheld. I doubt it will succeed though. For it has not the games that people know and love and that people will think/know will succeed. Before people buy a handheld, they first look at the graphics and games that's coming out for that particular handheld system. While the handheld for microsoft may have graphics that rival the PSP, they falter because of the lack of games. So, i basically don't see nintendo going anywhere soon. I still see it trailing behind the Ps3 along with the 360 BUT i see it as Ps3>Xbox360>Revolution. Ps3, people are wondering if it's true. Was that really it's true game play? That will compell them to buy the system and if we were brought to believe was actually TRUE then sony shall rejoice in a job well done. XBox360, is relying on it's particulary large fanbase that's why the plan on releasing a game that their FANS know and love(Halo3) on the release date of the Ps3.Nintendo, is playing the underdog, they are not showing any of their graphics..but i doubt any of it will matter. When games like Splintercell4, Ghost Recon, and other great ONLINE games like that come out..and the revolution fans are just left with a single/Multi player experience(Non-online) then you'll see why so many are skeptical of the NintendoRevo. For, the creator of the NintendoRevo is basically skeptical of the online concept ITSELF for he sees players should enjoy the base game itself and why take it online? MAYBE BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO!? Fools, you go for what the people want, you take online out of the fray you lose a realtivley LARGE amount of people who are so-so in the loyaltiy department when it comes to the NintendoRevo. So, nintendo is left with only it's truest fans which are not that many(Maybe 30,000 or less). While people are drawn into the Xbox360 and Ps3 for they KNOW what they're getting and they don't feel like taking any chances with the revo.

Nintendo Revolution is awesome, like Xeal said it's greater than both.
