Im shopping for a new system and was wondering which one is the better system. I want the best graphics and smoothest gameplay. Im not to worried about the blue ray player. I want best for games
However, from everything I have discovered since both of them were launched, the XBox is the way to go.
I had a Playstation 2 and vowed to stick with them & purchase a #3, but as I just said above, there were more factors that lef me to the 360, especially when I learnt that most of the bigger softward companies were going to cater to Microsoft & the XBox first & foremost, that made my mind up for good....
ps3. they are real similar and ea. with some features that are better than other, but the blu ray player is a major selling point with me. so glad i have one!
PS3 does have better graphics and gameplay because it has a better chip. That's why it's more expensive.
However, there is some concern that Sony might pull the plug on the Playstation franchise. I read that they have lost close to a billion dollars on selling the console and don't expect game sales to make up anything close to what they lost.
If it wasn't for Halo, XBox never would have survived. But now they are the best overall game system. PS3 online play is a nightmare also while XBox's runs quite smoothly.
Pretty sure you can do that with the PS3 as well - dont actually use the feature myself, but when I have had my PS3 on at the same time as my laptop then I have seen option to do so...
