Which System?

Which system is most powerful? 360, PS3, or Nintendo wii?

I have a friend that have the 360 and it ain't functioning right for him. ANd the PS3 is freakin complicated.

I'm not sure between the 360 and Ps3, but I'm pretty sure the "Wii" isn't based on power, so it's probably third in terms of graphical power.

how is the ps3 complicated? you put in a game and press start!

This has nothing to do with NBA Live 07, so moved to Other games.

I forgot to put down what I though, and that is that you can't really say which one is better in the end. There's been endless of articles about it, and if you'd tally them all up, I bet you'd get a 50/50 result. There are so many different categories and specifications that they take turns in doing slightly better than the other one, and to me, they seem to be more or less equal. However I read an article about it a while back that brought up a very solid point:

"The PS3's CPU is nearly twice as fastas the Xbox 360's.
The Xbox 360 has three 3.2 Ghz PowerPC cores; the PS3's weirdo Cell processor is also rated as 3.2 Ghz. But in terms of true performance--GigaFLOPs, a term which relates to the sheer volume of complex floating point operations a processor can handle--there's no contest. The Xbox CPUs hover at around 115 Gigaflops; the PS3's CPU weighs in with 218 Gigaflops. Both CPUs are enormously powerful, but the PS3's is nearly twice as fast as the 360's. That will allow for more advanced physics models, more impressive special effects, bigger, more detailed environments, and so on. There are three main technological battlefronts: RAM (Xbox 360 and PS3 tie), graphics processing power (likely another tie, or a narrow win for one console), and CPU power. The PS3 handily wins the crucial CPU fight without even breaking a sweat. That's huge. "

But if you're thinking of getting one of them, my suggestion would be to just get the one you like the most...

Gigabyte. Memory.

From what I hear, the 20gb isn't enough to perform properly. I don't know, though.

You do know that Ps3 and Wii aren't out for a while yet, right?

if you're going to shell out 500 for a ps3, mise well chip in 100 bucks more and get the best one. it would be a waste of 500 dollars to buy the cheaper one.

by **Fitzy** on Sat May 13, 2006 1:15 pm

its definately not the wii
id say probably the PS3

by **Pera** on Sat May 13, 2006 5:38 pm

The PS3,because I'm going to be getting it :mrgreen:

by **Srbija** on Sat May 13, 2006 7:14 pm

I would say PS3 by an inch. I will be getting one aswell :mrgreen:

Wii is the 'casual gamers' console. I've seen too many 'casual gamers' get an Xbob and have the shitty games for it

.

By what has been released, the PS3 is more powerful than the Xbob 360. I'll be getting the 'apparently more powerful' and the 'casual' consoles.

by **Scotty** on Sat May 13, 2006 10:15 pm

yeah i heard the PS3 was much more powerful

by **Matthew** on Sat May 13, 2006 10:20 pm

Theres no question, whent the ps3 is released that will be the most powerful. But the gamecube was more powerful than the dreamcast, does that mean its better? Consoles are remembered by their games, not their processing power.

I'll be buying the 360 when I get sufficient amount of money.
Main reason, the controls, Halo 3, Xbox Live and a couple other minor reasons.
Also, I have/had a PS2 and Xbox and I liked the Xbox 10 times better and ended up selling the PS2 before it lost all its value.

by **Matthew** on Sat May 13, 2006 11:01 pm

Have you seen the trailer for halo 3? :drool:

The PS3 is supposed to be twice as powerful as the 360 but sony have a thing for over promising and under delivering
