On paper, the PS3 is more powerful. In reality, it’s quite inferior to the 360. Without getting into too many details, the three general-purpose CPU’s the xbox360 has are currently FAR easier to take advantage of than the SPU’s on the PS3.
With Graphics, the 360 is a clear winner.
The GPU is more powerful. It has more powerful fillrate, and far more pixel and vertex processing horsepower. Part of the reason is their choice of memory, and architecture of pixel and vertex processing. I can’t get into details but the same vertex shader will run much slower on the PS3 than the XBOX 360. The 360 also has a clever new way rendering high definition anti aliased back buffers. To accomplish the same effect on PS3 is prohibitively expensive. For this reason I think many games will have no choice but to run in non-HD resolutions on the PS3 version, use a lower quality anti aliasing technique, or do back buffer upscaling. The end result in all cases is going to be noticeably worse image quality.
Game Selection...
The XBOX 360 has a huge head start here. 1 year is an eternity in gaming. Almost all multi-platform developers have made the XBOX 360 their primary platform due to timing of release-to-market, this means the games will look and perform better on the 360. The PS3 versions will be ports of the 360 versions. (The opposite was true for XBOX 1 vs. PS2). The XBOX 360 is also far faster to develop for due to better development tools (massively popular Visual Studio .NET vs. proprietary, buggy PS3 compiler and debugger), better documentation, and easier architecture (3 general purpose CPU’s vs. 8 specialized processors that require DMA). Timing has also caused all next-gen middleware developers to make XBOX 360 their primary platform, and they will ‘add ps3 support’ as needed. This support will probably be inferior to the XBOX 360’s due to manpower and more importantly, demand. It’s this catch-22 now that will continue to drive the 360 forward and hold PS3 back.
Wrong, read above...
Now its your turn to tell me why the PS3 is better...

Thats fantastic Jae, only thing is nobody knows what your talking about! at the end of the day i have both consoles and have done split screen with the same games and the ps3 shone through! you can write what you want but i have the proof! I am not saying the 360 is usless otherwise i would have sold the 360 for the ps3 wouldnt i, but i didnt i kept them both like i said it dont matter what graphics your console projects if you run them on a portable telly does it!
You can argue till the cows come home about the two consoles it wont make the slightest bit of difference its all about what you want from a machine and a games machine.
Its about choice and i personally preferr the ps3 at the end of the day i grown up with computers and consoles from even before you were born i have had every console that has come out apart from the saga satern i never bothered with that! i have both the 360 and the ps3 in MY opinion which is what i was giving to slinky the ps3 the the better console better value for money.
