I don't, they both have their pro's and con's that can't really be utilized unless humongous amounts of time and resources are used, even then its fairly common to see games that are led on the 360 being subpar on the PS3, but games that are led on the PS3 usually are a precise match on both consoles, leading to the conclusion that the 360 can seemingly run code designed for the PS3 with ease, while the same isn't entirely true the other way around.

but shit, i guess what's common knowledge based on so many examples is still going to get me labeled as the only fanboy alive on PG :p
Sorry. Please Wiki Cell Processor and see how many PS3 have sold been out just because of some organization using it to crunch Gflops. While 360 is a flop in that case.

lol the screen tearing always happens at the top-most area of the screen, and hence, isn't noticeable unless you're really looking for it
you just nulled and voided the entire point of digital foundry and game comparisons in the first place which makes the subsequent BF3 remarks that much redundant :p
Not surprising, really, considering the fact that Frostbite 2.0 is first and foremost a multiplatform graphics engine. :p
A multiplatform engine where DICE promised to take "full advantage" of all the SPE's on the PS3 to bring the best possible experience on that console :p if using all those advantageous SPE's can't give any advantage over lighting banding issues (rather a glitch more than an actual hardware advantage i reckon) what was the point :p

besides uncharted 3 there really is no other noteworthy exclusive the ps3 has in the final quarter/half of the year either, as opposed to Gears, Forza, Halo (yeah its the same three lol).
Well, if we're counting remastered HD ports, then we might as well include the awesome ICO collection on PS3 :p

lol I was only reiterating what the writer of that DF article mentioned:

The frame-rate drops, although more noticeable on the PS3 aren't exactly a big deal and the additional tearing we see on the Sony platform didn't affect our enjoyment of the game.

I agree, DICE didn't quite live up to that promise. And the release of a technically competent exclusive i.e. Uncharted 3, a mere week after BF's PS3 release most certainly didn't help their case :p

Read again. Dont be so excited.
ctrl + F "Sale" no results found .. Don't be so daft.

from your "wikipedia"

As of May 7th 2011, Folding@home runs at about 9.3 x86 petaFLOPS, with 1.6 petaFLOPS generated by 26,000 active PS3s alone. In late 2008, A cluster of 200 PlayStation 3 consoles was used to generate a rogue SSL certificate, effectively cracking its encryption.[SUP][58][/SUP]

Folding@home is something that was open to all PS3 owners, and 200 PS3's is hardly "sold out".

I hate when people just say stupid stuff like "GO LOOK UP WIKIPEDIA FOR MY IRREFUTABLE PROOF" without actually knowing what they're even talking about :-/

Well, if we're counting remastered HD ports, then we might as well include the awesome ICO collection on PS3 :p
Now i'm not the biggest halo fan on PG (see what i did there ? :p) but even I can tell you the difference between a cleaned up "remake" and a brand new engine (albeit for graphics only).
lol I was only reiterating what the writer of that DF article mentioned:
similar to how banding and unnoticeable difference in AA (which shally actually thinks is the other way around lol) doesn't effect anyone's enjoyment either but its still there and visible, right ? :p

I agree, DICE didn't quite live up to that promise. And the release of a technically competent exclusive i.e. Uncharted 3, a mere week after BF's PS3 release most certainly didn't help their case :p
Whose to say said exclusive wouldn't have been equally as impressive or even more so on other platforms had it been a multiplatform release ? :p

I think the real phrase for Chandoo in this thread would be something like BEATING A DEAD HORSE??
if horse is your stupid posts, then yes seems like i'm doing a pretty good job of beating them down (sm1)

I mean, aren't all remakes like that? :p

I think people are undermining it just because it has same physics/animations as the original, but failing to recognize how there are completely new assets, textures and heck even new art style and a remixed score that has been recorded at Lucas Arts' Skywalker Ranch. This is not your average remake here folks.

I said it had a new layer of graphics right? But it ain't an actual remake either lol it's still the same engine, same game with new textures and a remastered score.Better than a direct HD port but still not a remake.Happy? :p

Now now. Dont start calling me daft and stupid. Please read Everything related to PS3. I dont care if Sony gave PS3 to all those companies for free. The thing is, it is powerful than 360. Why dont You prove otherwise.

Fanboy indeed.

Looking back at console sales in US during last two months in US:

Nov 2010
Xbox 360: 1.37mn
PS 3 : 530K

Dec 2010
Xbox 360: 1.86mn
PS 3 : 1.21mn

Thus Xbox 360 is all set to cover the current worldwide YTD gap during the holiday season in US and become top selling console of 2011 worldwide. November and December are high selling months in US,Canada,UK and Australia and Xbox has continuance dominance in first 3 markets while PS only outsells in small Australian market

The only people who buy xbox are normally crazed shooter fans, othrwsie, I don't see this console as much of a contender in variety.

@ Chandoo Only a few pages back you banned Frank for personal attactks, and yet, your pretentious nature at being genuniely annoying has kicked in again, and you are calling Serious Sam stupid. Who made you a mod? You are THE MOST immature, irrational, fanboyish, backward-pundit on this site, who calls people names, insults them deliberately, and gets away with it for his degrading and brash behaviour... and yet, I have NEVER seen you get banned, NEVER.

Wait, so your argument is "NO U" and then you call me a fanboy lol, anyway i'll do you one better ..

http://misterslimm.wordpress.com/360-vs-ps3/xbox-360-vs-ps3-head-to-head-face-off-results/

where it really matters, the games, there is a very clear bias in which console has had the better results in multiplatform developed games. Who the fuck cares how many digital folding hours a console can do when what matters is the games on it lol, and what better way to judge than comparing games that are on both. Now why don't YOU prove otherwise you silly fanboy lol

edit : no sam sahib i didnt leave you in your healthy argument lol, there wasn't much there that i felt like replying to earlier, your argument was basically "IM RIGHT UR WRONG SO UR FANBOY LOL" .. if you don't trust me, go read your own previous post.

The only people who buy xbox are normally crazed shooter fans, othrwsie, I don't see this console as much of a contender in variety.
What a stupid point of view this is .. besides the few first party exclusive title each console has (the last two big one's on the PS3 ironically are both shooters as well that you so despise) , every game is pretty much multiplatform already, your JRPG's like FFXIII's to Dark Souls plus the norm of genre titles like sports, adventure, party are all available across all platforms ..
.. and yet, I have NEVER seen you get banned, NEVER.
and this shows us how new you are to the forum lol, btw for the third time, making duplicate id's is a bannable offense in itself, so, again, people who feel insecure need to find a better point of contention here.

    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.
