PS3 vs. Xbox 360

Posted by Zonk on from the content-vs.-form dept.

The Guardian Gamesblog has a point by point breakdown of the Xbox 360 and PS3 spec sheets, comparing and contrasting the two consoles based on what we know about them so far. In the end, they come to the rational conclusion that for gamers what will end up deciding the battle is the gameplay. From the article: "We've pretty well reached the point of complexity with dual analogue sticks, analogue triggers and four face buttons, so while you can expect to see more content in terms of things happening, not much originality was on display. Gameplay advances will come from peripherals and Sony really showed that off with their kooky EyeToy games. Nothing wrong with controlling two bondage-clad Japanese spy chicks via videoconfering in my mind :)"

    There's so much wrong with that I honestly don't know where to start.

      This is the only comment that should even be made in regards to this story.

    Sony really only needs to add one accessory to the Playstation line-up to guarantee a win.

    Information wants to be anthropomorphized.

    I'd like to be the first to welcome you to what most people refer to as a "Global Economy".
    It seems like a safe assumption that you bought an Xbox. I'm sure the manufacturers in Mexico, Hungary, and China are thankful you spent your American currency on their product. And just imagine where all those parts came from as well...

    So does this mean that the PS3 and XBox 360 will be as powerful as Sony and Microsoft promised the PS2 and XBox would be?
