Question

Which one is better in terms of graphics, PS-3 or XBox-360?

Answer 1

The PS3 is capable of better graphics than the 360, but there hasn't been much to show it yet. The 360's graphics chip is more powerful than the equivalent in the PS3, but the PS3's true graphical power lies within the Cell processor and it is taking some time for developers to get up to speed with it.



If you want an example of what is possible (note this is a capability demo, not a game demo) look here;

[Edit - Yaz]

"Blu-ray doesn't mean better graphics (as some seem to believe), it simply means more content per disk."

And just what do you think that content is? The reason a blu-ray movie is better than DVD is because the storage allows for better definition. The same applies for graphics.



"for an *honest* idea of how the consoles compare, you need to listen to those devs with experience creating quality games for BOTH consoles."

Rubbish, listening to developers trying to get the same game out of both consoles is the LAST thing you should do. Listen instead to those getting the best out of each console (like Bungie and Insomniac).



"It's also true the Cell processor can help with the graphics (Warhawk uses it for the volumetric clouds)", but the same is true for the 360 with it's CPU (look up memexport). It must also be remembered that any CPU power used for graphics means less CPU power available for the rest of the game."

Which is why the PS3 has one general purpose CPU, and six (available) specialized Processors. Sony realised that a lot of power would be required for graphics (and in truth so did Microsoft, which is why they expanded their cores to support vector operations), but you have 1 General porpose Core and six Vectors units vs 1 general purpose (or 3 general purpose) and two vector units (or zero vector units).

Answer 2

The fact is, in terms of power, the 360 and PS3 are almost equal, with the PS3 perhaps having a *slight* edge overall (that's why multi-format games look more or less the same, whereas last-gen they looked better on XBox).

anyway, for an *honest* idea of how the consoles compare, you need to listen to those devs with experience creating quality games for BOTH consoles. For example, listen to podcast episode 15 "Invasion of the programmers" from Criterion, developers of the Burnout series;

So it's not about the 360 being better or the PS3 being better. Both are great consoles, both have strengths and weaknesses, but in the end, since both consoles have similar graphics, it really IS about the games. :)

Answer 3

PS3 subject concerns: no longer as many human beings very own it. 23 Million human beings have PS3s 27 million human beings have Xbox. no longer a great distinction. human beings do no longer communicate as a lot whilst they play on line. no longer a huge deal the two whether this is obtainable. Xbox subject concerns: purple Ring of dying- whilst the Xbox over heats it lighting fixtures up all purple and breaks down. 33% of all Xboxes get this a year. E74- a user-friendly errors for Xboxes that makes them destroy, in evaluation to the purple Ring it relatively isn't coated with the help of the guaranty. 33% Failure value. you pays 50$ a year to play on line. this is a scam this is extra low-priced than PS3 by fact it does no longer have inbuilt wireless you pays a hundred extra $ to apply it. PS3 is extra useful.

Answer 4

PS3. Since its Blu Ray while Its counterpart, the XBOX 360 is HD-DVD. Blu ray is better in terms of graphic output, and performance.

Answer 5

Ps3=HDMI 1.3 output True 1080p HiDef and the Nvidia RSX GPU supports full 3d and 4d realism



Xbox 360 =HDMI 1.2 Supports only hd 1.2 output. ANd the GPU can't go past dx 9 for graphics(hardware locked)...Low end computers you can buy for $400 even have DX 10.

Answer 6

its gameboy duhh are you STOOP!D
