Coalition of Gamers :: Xbox 360 -vs- PS3 :: the real story?
Saturday, June 04, 2005
Since the specs for both the Xbox 360 and Sony’s PS3 have been revealed there has been a lot of talk about which console is the more powerful game maching. A lot of media outlets have made claims that the PS3 is up to 3 times as powerful as the Xbox 360. People seem to believe those outrageous claims after seeing footage of PS3 games at this year’s E3, Killzone 2 being the most talked about of those games.
It has since been revealed, by the Killzone 2 developers, that the footage is a “representation of what we wish the game to be”. In other words, it’s NOT in-game footage and in no way represents what final PS3 graphics will look like.
Now, people at Microsoft have taken a hard look at each system’s specs and have published their own version of the story. Head over to Major Nelson’s Blog for full details regarding their findings. Their opinion may be a little biased but people outside of Microsoft, who have in-depth knowledge of how these systems work, seem to be agreeing that the two consoles are a lot closer in performance than most people would have you believe.
