man I’ve owned both systems and yes I’ve had the rrod but seriously..the 360 gpu is just better ..period! textures frame rates aliasing ..software tools..unified memory ..for gaming its just a better machine..and the new jasper chips run significantly cooler..the ps3 is a sexy look’n machine and built solid but to me that’s it

Wait till the PC version comes out. It will BLOW THE CONSOLE VERSIONS OUT OF THE WATER! ;)

Honestly, if you want games with mind-blowing graphics, PC is your only choice.

Oh, and I own the PS3 version of ACII and enjoy playing it very much in spite of occasional frame drops.

nicely said easy….. these so called “Console Wars” are really a waste of time, everyone should enjoy the console they own for what it is. Both machines are just about equal in power. There will always be games that look better on one system than on the other, but that is due to the differences in their individual architectures and how to program for them.

while there is some truth to your comments, there is a lot to be desired…
a lot of people bash sony for releasing a mighty machine, sure it didn’t work out to plan for sony. but the fact remains its a marvelous machine (so is the 360, but the ps3 is the apparent loser here).
sony’s approach by using the cell cpu was probably wrong in that they used it too early… as is evident in developers not being able to get their heads around utilising it properly.

the worst part of this generation is the die-hard fans of each console, which is only fueled by comments like:
“I have to be honest here and say that I am disappointed in the PS3, it promised the world before it was released and now 3 years later it is still playing catch up on the cross platform games and anyone trying to point the finger at lazy developers is simply deluding themselves.”
sorry lazy, but thats such a short sighted view of the situation, sony did not develop the game, therefore they are not totally to blame. but i’m not the professional here… i only buy the games :P

and to everyone that thinks their choice in system is best one, your are an effing idiot… no platform is better than the other, they all provide fun gaming and that is the ONLY thing that counts!

here’s to 2010 being about games and not about what console makes e-penis’ grow or shrivel.

I owned both systems and I never use the PS3 for gaming when titles exist for both consoles.

And to be honest, I found the gfx in Uncharted 2 to be lackluster.
I don’t mean they looked bad, but they’re not as great as everyone makes them out to be.

What’s disappointing is that Sony, AGAIN, decided they were too high and mighty to develop a console that’s easy to program for.
By the time 3rd party developers figure out how to unleash it’s full power, the Xbox 720 or PS4 will be out and the cycle will continue.

I recently had to sell the 360 because of money issue.
I hardly play anymore but I love Bluray so I chose the PS3 over the 360. But if the 360 had bluray capabilities, it would have been an easy choice.

The 360 trumps the PS3 in every category. From online, to multimedia to games. It’s no contest.
Even the controller is superior.

Very amusing comments mostly based on fanboy attitudes on both sides. Sure the PS3 version of AC2 has its drawbacks from the X360 version but the gameplay is still identical. Sadly I wont be buying any more X360 games until all the pirates have been rooted out, until then the PS3 has my preference.

Exclusive wise both platforms have their stronger games which balance each other out. U2 is a beauty but it aint perfect, hopefully with time Sony’s SDK will mature like the PS2 did after 5 years. Till then enjoy the plethora of titles available during a so called world recession.
