The great fight of the 360 and PS3

You can never judge the PS3's graphics by these tests. The testers will LIMIT the PS3s capabilities so that its "even" with the 360's. However, this is not the PS3 running at its best capacity. Its the 360 running at it's best capacity, but its the PS3 running at some of its worst settings. The PS3 can do 1080p native, while most 360s cant. Although, this is the first tester I've seen to enable the PS3's full-range HDMI settings, there are still many other settings you can do on the PS3 to make the picture look even better.

Also, multiplatform games almost always look better on the 360 because of lazy programming. Its easier to program for the 360 and no one bothers to optimize for the PS3. The PS3 has WAY more power, which has been proven in games like Uncharted or Heavenly Sword. However, if you look at most multiplatform games, graphics worse than the two I mention, are lagging like shit because developers are lazy. Look at the best looking PS3 exclusive game, and compare it to the best looking 360 exclusive game.

You'll see a stark comparision.
 
You can't use multiplatform games as a fair comparison since the 360 is much easier to program for. How many developers are willing to put in the work to use the PS3 to it's fullest and also deal with deadlines and ROI? But take a look at the exclusive games on the PS3 and you will see it's graphical horsepower.

Another thing is that we're probably seeing the X360 at it's plateau in terms of graphics whereas the PS3 has much more headroom that's just waiting to be utilized. You'll see that in 2009.

Lastly, just going by graphics as a sole measure of which console is better is silly. There's many other factors you need to consider when choosing a console instead of going off on some fanboy shit. The fact remains that M$ killed the original Xbox way too early so that they could get the jump on the next console generation by releasing an ass piece of hardware with great graphics. I shouldn't have to pray to the gods for my console not to die on me, but that's what happens when you rush hardware. It's a miracle my system is still going without issue.

It's cool to compare graphics, but it's silly to when there are many other things you need to consider when choosing a console to purchase.
 
ive been an xbox fan for years. never really liked playstation, cause I used to think that the funner/better games were on xbox. but as of last night, i got the RROD again!!! this is the 4th fuckin time, so ill have to go get my 5th fuckin console. I always thought the ps3 had better graphics but i agree with malice on the fact that there are quite a few more reasons for choosing a console. I chose the 360 this time cause there were a ton more people on live then there were on psn. but im getting sick of having to buy a new xbox or sending mine out to get fixed.

does the ps3 have any issues like the xbox does as faras harxdware failures and things like that. cause i swear to god M$ is a piece of shit!!
