"The Only True Next-Generation System"
4.5 starson by anassassinoftimePros: Next-Gen CPU, Next-Gen GPU, Next-Gen Media, Next-Gen Memory, Next-Gen Everything
Cons: It will take a small leap of faith on the part of everyday consumers, given its probable price-point
Summary: Does anybody find it funny how MICROSOFT is showcasing their console's graphics on APPLE processors? Microsoft, which on any other day would tell you how inferior the Apple CPU is to their own, Intel-based bedmate, is going around the world unveiling their new Xbox on a black counter which, hidden within, houses essentially two Apple G5 computers.
I'm sorry - I needed to start with that.
Specifications and technological analyses are, at best, useless. At worst, they are an insult to anyone with even the slightest capacity for independent thought. It is never about the specs, or the numbers, or the "raw power". To me, personally, the PS2 is better than the Xbox. The Xbox has a better CPU - the Xbox has a better GPU - the Xbox probably even has a better fan. But, as an avid gamer and tech guru, all of that really doesn't matter.
What does matter, in my opinion, is that the next-generation wave of consoles truly do represent a new generation. It is easy for technological systems and devices to fall into a pattern of "rehash syndrome" - updating and upgrading existing products (yesterday's products) and pretending that they therefore represent new ideas (today's products). On the brink of the release of Xbox 360, PS3, and the Nintendo Revolution, the current-gen Xbox, PS2, and GameCube are all yesterday's products.
The battle between next-gen systems is not about the numbers (though, the PS3 does boast far better specs - for those of you who actually lend weight to this fact). To me, it is about which console will truly usher in a new generation. To me, the best console is not the one that makes yesterday's tech reusable today - the best console is the one that makes tomorrow's tech attainable today. The Xbox 360 will be nice - better graphics, better design, better interface - but in reality, it is little more than an upgrade to the current-gen Xbox. Improving graphics, performance, speed - such is the "rehash syndrome" technology trap that so many developers and system designers so easily fall into.
Consider, now, the PS3. First, we have Cell. There is a lot of technical jargon that could be thrown in here, but I'll spare you (and myself). The important thing about Cell is that it redefines decades-old "theory" about what a CPU should be. Everything - from the way it queues processes, to the way it handles memory, to the way it interacts with other key components, such as the GPU - all of it is revolutionary. Indeed, it is safe to assume that Cell will be the basis for a brand new line of chipsets that truly reinvent the CPU for every device, from PC's to video game consoles to even your coffee-maker. The efficiency and, dare I say, grace with which the Cell will operate will truly open up a plethora of new, previously unseen doors through which designers can explore. Xbox, on the otherhand, is simply using a more advanced modern-day processor (again, one chiefly modelled off competitor Apple's PowerPC line). A good way to assess the performance of these next-gen systems is to compare them to current top-of-the-line PCs. The X360 will, in truth, be using a processor that rivals the best in PC CPUs (all things being equal). The PS3, however, will be using a processor that is, at present, far more advanced and powerful than any available PC CPU. PS3 will introduce a truly next-gen CPU - X360 will "reintroduce" a current, albeit slightly upgraded CPU.
Next, let us look at graphic power. The PS3 GPU ("RSX") is, at present, twice as powerful as the most advanced currently available PC GPU. The X360 GPU (a remotely customized ATI project) is about as powerful as an upper-mid level PC GPU. Sony is taking an unprecedented step AHEAD of the PC world, introducing a GPU that, for the first time in console history, will actually force PC chip-makers to play catch-up. Microsoft is merely borrowing an existing GPU and adding a few sparks. Again, in my humble opinion, this demonstrates how Sony is thinking about tomorrow, whereas Microsoft is content with the technology available today.
Finally, we'll consider media. There has been a lot of heated debates over Sony's BD-ROM format (Blu-Ray Disks, one of two rival High-Definition, Next-Gen "DVD" medias under development). Many Microsoft fan-boys have gone on record saying that they would rather stick with the admittedly tried and true DVD format then venture a risk with a new, sure-to-be proprietary format. Again, I have to ask - in the battle of "NEXT-GEN" systems, which of these formats truly offers a 'NEXT-GEN" quality? The PS2 uses DVD. So does the current Xbox. In my opinion, a next-gen console that reuses a current-gen media format is, in truth, NOT a next-gen offering. Sony has made the decision to offer over and beyond what is available today - Microsoft would like to stick with what they've got. The BD format will usher in a new generation in media presentation - a Blu-Ray disk can truly be rendered in complete High-Definition, whereas DVDs often prove incapable. Sony is looking ahead to the real next generation, while Microsoft is still caught up in the nexus of today's current generation.
The downside? Cost. Blu-Ray will cost more than DVD. Two of the most powerful GPUs stacked together will cost more than just one, good GPU. A new, reinvented CPU will cost more than a reused, unoriginal CPU. But that's the nature of technology. You PAY for next-generation technology. You PAY for thinner, faster laptops. You PAID more for DVDs than you did for VHS. You PAY for handheld computers, smart-phones, and PDA-GPS hybrids. You PAY for new technology. The offset has always been that it is generally worth it. It is better to spend a little extra money to get better, newer products. You'll spend less on the X360, but all you are getting is an upgraded Xbox. You'll spend more on the PS3, but in that case, you're getting a revolutionary new product that will truly usher in a new generation of technology. And yes, you'll pay a lot for it - it really comes down to where you want to be. Do you want to stay in this generation, or do you want to venture where the "next-gen" consoles are supposed to bring us - the future.
In my opinion, X360 will be nice - but not next-gen. PS3 will be incredible - a system worthy of being coined a NEXT GENERATION console. And keep your heads up - it's only the beginning!

there were a lot of things that were true in your statement but it is obvious that you heavily biased towards ps3. i will admit i am a sony fan myself but i went with the better buy, being the xbox 360, because its is the more economical way to go and i will still benefit from next gen graphics and games that i loved made exclusive for sony, and i will tell you why later on. for starters the ps3 is superb. it signifies the future it does, but it is expensive not only for sony, but for developers, due to blu ray disk and production costs. plus it costs more for sony to make it then what they are selling it for. the only person that really benefits is the comsumer that shells out 400 for the system, and believe this, the sad thing about its sales right now is that it sells better as a blu ray player combined with a high def t.v. more than it does with games mainly because its games library is low compared to the competitor, software developement being too complicated for third party game developers and "exclusive" titles being ported to the xbox.<br>third parties are realizing they are making no profit off games they make on ps3 so they will widen the market and bring their games to xbox. gta4 was a breakthrough success due to achievements and xbox live, square enix is putting final fantasy 13 on 360,and i guarantee that if that fairs well a updated version of metal gear solid 4 will be on 360 as well. and if soul calibur makes monumental numbers tekken 6 will be on the system as well, all of which were exclusives to sony, but also have colt followers like myself who will play them no matter what system they are on like they are religion. at the end of the day microsoft has won,basically beating sony with the same thing sony did to the video game market 13 years ago.third party developers want to develop for the 360 because their technology is less of a risk for developers because its is an upgrade of existing technology and not something totally new and and because their titles are cheaper to produce, in which equals profit. in order for ps3 to be on top they need to assist developers with their system and put their focus back on games,because now developers have too much to work with in too little of a time with their system. the same goes for psp in which i have three, sony's systems are excellent for multimedia but lost focus on games, and their gaming community. only nintendo and microsoft realize their markets and they are both hitting their goals for their respective markets, but where is sony??? it sells like crazy in japan, and if i was there i'd have one too cause they have more games for it than we do, but they make an excellent doorstop here(so does the 360, but for some reason and can't help but fathom that they bit their design for the system from a dell desktop?? hmmmmmmm). at the end of the day though i hope any system you buy you enjoy, because its is your dollar well earned and spent not mine.

1. Harder to produce games on leaving games that didn't reach their full potential at the time.<br>2. They created television before they created the camera. Games are as good give or take as 360 powerwise because no game developers are capable of using the ps3 correctly.<br>3. Price doesn't match what you get.<br>4. Why do you need Blu-ray?<br>5. In my opinion, worse controller than 360 {because of the pressure sensitive triggers}<br>6. Worse upcoming games than the 360.<br>Now, don't get me wrong. The 360 and Ps3 are great for different reasons and the 360 has many, many problems too. {ex. manufactured like crap;many break after a year}

Where do i start? Hardware looks good if alittle on the large side! And the machine is Quiet in operation. The Blu Ray drive does give a gorgeous Picture when watching a DVD.But this is primarily despite the hype, a games console. Ultimately i wasn't moved. What i mean by that is the games look second rate, and the only title that really seems to show off what this machine can do (motorstorm), is a typical sony title! Just another unimaginative racing game that looks good but has no depth. And is actually plain boring after 30mins like most of the release titles.i.e, its the kind of game that there is a hundred of on the PS2! <br>Sony say that in a years time there will be a whole host of 'great' games for the PS3. But if sony are true to form all that the PS3 gonna get is high def versions of there previous PS1, and PS2 successes. And with the inovative (and Huge selling) Wii and the (does exactly what is says on the tin) XBOX 360, sony may well be in trouble by this time next year?
-
when users picked up the PS3 they found that PS2 and PS1 games looked horrible on the system. it wasn't till just recently that Sony addmited to the problem and "fixed" it, which later caused issues with Blu Ray playback for many users.<br><br>something else you failed to mention, every game that has currently come out for both the PS3 and Xbox 360....many if not all of the online game resources have rated the Xbox 360's to look better. Many say that developers will have to learn how to properly use the PS3 hardware, but I think this is a cop-out. If Sony is afraid to release that information to a publisher then something is realy wrong.
-
I truly wanna thank u for pointing all this out, it seems that the 360 is nothing compared to the PS3, and everytime i hear "Well the games look better on the 360" i want to choke them. does no one understand that you have to spend a hundred or so more on a 360 to get it to ALMOST where the PS3 is? Does no one also understand that as game developers get more experience with the console the better the games will look? The 360 is already maxed out with Gears of War, granted it is a good looking game, but games that look just as good on the PS3 are only using 30% of its true power! well thanks again, and sorry about the rant.
-
Search Google and you will find that the majority of computer gurus along with the majority of basic users HATE Microsoft.If you don't like MS handling your computer, then why let them make your game console (essentially a computer)? Plus, isn't online play a necessity to gaming nowadays? PCs- Free online gaming, Playstation 3- Free online gaming, XBOX 360 (aka Microsoft)- $50 annual fee????? Seems to me I heard this phrase before: Death to Microsoft!
-
anassassinoftime must be a sony employee. who else would know (or care) about all of the facts he throws around? WHO CARES? If you like PS3 buy it! If you like the 360, buy it! If you like them both, buy both. Do not insult us by pretending to be a consumer. If you are just an honest consumer you need to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. It kills me to read these types of posts. The only people who really care about which gaming platform is better have their internet paid for by their parents (and their consoles too).
-
I need an answer! As a ps2 owner considering which new console to get (ps3 or xbox 360) I need all the fighting to stop (between Xbox gamers and Playstation gamers) and to get some answers. Which console is truly better Ps3 or Xbox 360. I'm sick of all this fighting between gamers over which console is the best. I was one of those gamers who was dedicated to Playstation and was determined to have no part with Xbox till I heard that Xbox has better graphics. Now someone tell me which one is better Xbox 360 or Ps3. I want one of two for this Christmas.
-
You're completely wrong. IBM makes PowerPC processors. Just because Apple USED them doesn't mean they make them. And personally im a nVidia fan, but in this case I give ATI the nod because of the PS3's ridicously slow framerate at times.
-
wow for a tech guru you really dont know much about the gpu's in these consoles.lets get something straight. For one thing XBOX 360 is the one with the next gen gpu NOT the ps3. let me explain. the 360 has a gpu that uses a unified shader architechture. this architecture is the new style chip design that lets graphics cards operate at 90% efficiency almost all the time when they are fed optimized code. very efficient. the old pipeline architecture (inside the ps3) on the other hand, typically operates at 60%. this is a real waste of processing power.Some may say that the xbox chip will never catch on. This is also not true. go check out the nvidia G80 and ATI r600. both are unified based cores by the worlds two largerst graphics manufacturers and are the first of a long line of chips to come. thats future proof, and its simply the way the technology is taking. xbox 360 is along for the ride while ps3 is in the past. As of right now there isnt much difference in terms of graphics power between the consoles gpus because games are still being coded for the old style architechture. But once the code switches to unified, the xbox 360s superior efficiency will put it ahead of the ps3. Think about it, the 360 will be so efficient that even with slightly slower specs to the ps3, it will be able to do more graphics work as new games come out. who knows, maybe this efficiency advantage will offset the gains of the cell precessor.
-
The GPU in the PS3 is actually about the same as the GPU's for PC. When the system was supposted to be released, the GPU was stronger, but not by much. At this point the most expensive GPU's for the PC are actually more powerful. The semi-expensive gpus are about the same. In about a month, a GPU on a PC will own a PS3 GPU. And the new Intel Core 2 processors would crush a cell processor. This system was simply delayed far 2 many times 2 be extraordinary.
-
Wow, tech guru that really doesn't know much at all... you sound more like a PS3 promoter to me. I'm surprised that at least some of the stuff you wrote bears some truth. However, you're pretty stupid to say that PS3 graphics are beyond what's available for PCs... ready about Nvidia's new graphics processor, noob! PS3 right now is just about as good as the games that are out for it, which is trash. I'm getting a PS3, but only about a year or so in when they finally start releasing thoughtful games.
-
Well... being that neither system was released when this article was written and loosely based on tech specs and what you've heard, I'm going to disagree with "The Only True Next-Generation System" statement.<br><br>Taking into consideration that PS3 does have more power and BD, it restricts it's client base to those who have lots of money to spend on a $600 console, new hdtv with 1080p (PS3 does not upscale as of now by the way), and the same controller which is not so next-gen considering sensor controllers have been around for years. The lack of vibration is a setback since the original had it not too long after it's release and up to the PS2. I understand Sony was being sued by the company that patented the vibration technology, but the Nintendo Wii still managed to get motion sensing, vibration, and a speaker to their controller. <br><br>Now getting back to the console itself. Without going into detail about the specs, technically the PS3 is a power house. Apparently, it is more powerful than the Xbox360 which is reasonably powerful machine itself. Be it as it may, the Xbox360 only has a 20 GB HD that is removable. Which can only mean that upgrades will be released in due time. The PS3's HD is not upgradeable. Well, it is, but doing so will void your warranty since you have to open the console up to get to the HD. MS also implements the HD with assisting in game load speeds automatically w/out the users awareness. Like the PS2 optional HD, you have to download the game from the game disc to the HD, which takes a few minutes before you even play the game, and then even after that it only shaves a few seconds.<br><br>Blueray Vs. HD-DVD is going to be a battle that won't end anytime soon and it will be an annoying one. Sony included a Blueray player to the PS3 which is great since you can play games and watch hi-def movies on a system that's $400 less than a stand-alone player. That is a great offering, but it's been reported that early adopters to HDTV's will have a problem playing Blueray content thanks a token that's being implemented. The PS3 owner will have to shell out more money to upgrade their TV if it doesn't have HDMI since the console will not display the image at full 1080p; will be more like 540p. Which is still better than 480p. HD-DVD will not be so strict. You will be able to watch the disc at your TV's highest resolution because it lacks the token restriction. So early adopters to HDTV will not be left out. <br><br>I can go on for hours about both consoles and about what is "Truly Next-Gen", but my main purpose is to simply state that specs and numbers don't mean much. Sure more power equals better graphics, physics, etc. But what I'm really trying to say is that everyone should do their bit of research and experimenting. Don't believe what CEO's say about their product and don't fall into the hype. Each console has their pro's and con's, and at this moment their all next-gen in their own respects. I'm not bashing the console, I too may purchase one sometime down the road after I do more research and the price goes down. Just for the record, I own an Xbox, Xbox360, PS1, PSP, and a Gamecube. (I sold my PS2 to my cousin)

Go ahead and invest 600 dollars to get your ps3. Then go buy your self a few games at 60 dollars each lets see your up to aroun 720 dollars NOT INCLUDING TAX. Then u forgot about your friends so you go out and buy two more controllers. So thats around 50 bucks each or sumtin. Okay 720 plus another hundred, were up to 820, great. I dont know about you but from a kids perspective, Holy **** thats around a quarter of my bank acount. That 820 isnt even including tax, plus im sure you'll want to buy a few other accesories or games. Were talking about nearly a thousand dollar investment. Thats just the first month of purchasing it. If you have an exra thousand dollars lying around go for it. MONEY IS THE ISSUE HERE NOT WHICH SYSTEM IS BETTER
-
First, I'm bad at spelling. I'm rather imparcial to the new consoles, as it seems most of the bigger games are turning out to be on both 360 and ps3, possibly including Metal Gear Solid. Next, if you don't care about what kind of cpu's are in the consoles, then why do you go on a two paragraph rant on how superior the cell is? The cell will be a better processor, but not this early on. Sony could've had a better system, but they need to work out their problems. The cell was known for some of it's cores burining out later on in its development, and i admit that i don't know if there are any more or less problems with it now. But there is one thing we can all agree on. Red is a cool color.
-
Im happy for you that playstation finally made something that can compete with xbox, i really am. However you cant be serious with trying to spin off xbox 360 as something other than a next gen console. I know you are looking at everything the ps3 has to offer and thats great, but what specifically makes you think its better than xbox 360? Dont get too excited because i would rather have you calm down and look at actual specs, forget fancy words like blu-ray and cell processor and concentrate on things like signals. I bet you dont know the real difference between 1080p and 720p, not to mention what next gen games are displayed in. Tell you what, go buy a ps3 for $600.00 and go buck wild get a game too, but i promise you wont be too impressed. Unless you havent seen 360 (or you are just against microsoft because you like playstation) HD games on HD tvs look so good, it would be silly to say that the ps3 is the only true next gen console when xbox 360 is just as good if not better.
-
The PS3 runs at 4.0 GHZ, Xbox 360's runs at 9.6. Xbox 360's graphic card has unified shader arquitecture, unlike PS3's. Xbox 360 plays as a Media Center Extender, PS3 doesn't. Xbox 360 has 512 MB Video RAM, PS3 has 256. Having in mind these facts, Xbox 360 is has next-gen as PS3 or even more...<br>And by the way: do you know something called Xbox Live?
-
Your comments are biased at best and uninformed at the worst. <br><br>Neither console has "far better" specs then the other. In terms of next gen - both consoles have native HD output and both support next gen DVD formats eg. both are truly next gen. Couple that with the fact they are both wireless out of the box and network capable and it is clear that both systems are great for different reasons.<br><br>For me, the games are negligible since both will have an awesome lineup in every genre (eventually.)PS3's launch line up kinda sucks. Xbox 360's kinda sucked too. 360 has come out with some sweet titles over the past year. PS3 will do the same. <br><br>For me its all about the "extras". I prefer Xbox because of XBL, XBL Arcade and the general online experience. Soon you can download movies and TV. I also like the idea of streaming all my music/videos through the console. If the PS3's value added services can compete with MS's proven model with XBL, this will be a war where ultimately the consumer benefits from better technology and titles while market pressure forces prices down.
-
Are you crazy? An apple processor? 2 times more powerful than a PC GPU? The GeForce 7900 is more powerful let alone a 8800 with DX10! The PC outdoes the PS3 even now!<br><br>By the way, developers consider the XBOX 360 and PS3 hardware equals! Equals. and the 360 came out a year earlier! Seems like sony screwed up to me!<br><br>And the controller; same design as 10 years ago. What's next gen about that? <br><br>Graphical update does not equal next-gen and that is all a PS3 is. You are so biased
-
The only thing next gen about the ps3 is that its coming out with all the other next gen counsol! ahahah RIP OFF (aha RIP)<br><br>FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP
-
Sir you obviously wrote this article before gears of war came out. That Game just set the bar of exellence in a next gen system. I work at best buy and we just got our ps3 demo the system is a joke good processing power ( nice smooth game play) but the graphics of the 2 games i saw were below par and they were being played on a xbr2 which is 1080p lcd. I know im not being fair because these arent playstations big headliner games yet. But dont rely on facts. True on paper ps3 beats xbox360. But alot of electronics on paper seem sweeter then what they acually are. This is the bottom line Nintendo is going to kill both systems on opening day sales. NINTENDO THE SILENT SYSTEM KILLER.
-
Read This.<br><br>http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/617/617951p1.html<br><br>BTW, the Xbox 360 has a XENOS Processor, NOT an Apple processor. Fix your research up a bit.
-
First off apple dosent make processors. IBM makes the power pc chips. What are most videos and movies made on these days.....o yea a mac so dont try to down play IBM's architecture its worked and its proven. I work at a store that already has the PS3's in stock but not on display (BB) and we have been playing it for the better part of 2 weeks now and the PS3 and 360 look exactly the same on and cannot tell a difference. So go ahead and spend your 600+ dollars on a machine that is way way far behind microsoft as far as online gaming goes ps3 has some catching up to do. Oh and next year a Blu-Ray DVD player will be 100.00 just like dvd players are now. Your another victim of sony hype. Have fun with Final Fantasy... xbox has way more exclusive titles launching soon, (gears of war, Halo Wars), ill stop there.
-
THANKS FOR TELLING EVERYONE THE TRUTH, Some people really don't understand NEXT-GEN and not to mention TRUE 1080P HD and HDMI!!!!
-
What more can I say you said it all! Not that theres anything wrong with 360 I just think Ps3 will be better and as you said the only true "next generation" console!!!
-
Hi, in deciding between PS3 and X360, one of my issues is teh video playback. Obviously both play dvds, and PS3 does BD and X360 will do HDDVD with the add-on.<br>But with either/both of these UPCONVERT my standard deffinition dvd to HD format?<br>If so, that's gonna be the winner for me!<br>Thanks

i agree that ps3 is more next-gen than 360 but what do you think about the wii. in my mind that is truly next-gen, not necessarily with the media capabilities or the processors but the controller and gameplay (which is why i buy a system) are truly innovative. to me this is much more important than hi-def graphics cards and processors that probably don't even work on my tv. the price is also very important to me. monetarily speaking, the wii also looks a lot better. i'm not saying your wrong, just wondering what you think about the ps3 vs. the wii.
-
I have to agree with anassasinoftime. Xbox360 is just like playing a last-gen console with better grafics (hell they're even launching some of those games for last-gen consoles EG TOmb Raider). No innovation. No Next-gen feeling. Don't get me wrong, i loved playing my tomb raider legends while enjoying the great looking grafics... but there is something missing there.<br><br>I still dont know what playing PS3 will feel like, but they sure are making some advances in technology which will (hopefully) bring us a Next-gen experience. <br><br>And before you call me a Sony-dog please know that I own an Xbox 360, and a PS2 (and im waiting for PS3 to come out) and i must tell you... Online Playing is a BIG plus, but I've had more fun with some offline games on my PS2 than on my Xbox 360...<br><br>Plus, you can always play with friends that are actually with you, (like, no need for internet), and it's 1000 times more entretaining (try mario party 6 on NGC, pizza and friends for a great time). <br><br>And before i say the next thing, you must know one other thing... I lost faith in Nintendo a lot of time ago... They stoped making good games for grown ups, and they never use their systems full potencial. BUT, Nintendo's Wii will be another Next-gen experience (with the innovative control design and all that) and im waiting for it too. I hope the simplistic grafic, but great gameplay will remind us gamers that the important thing about this is HAVING FUN.<br><br>Meanwhile I'll stick to my Xbox360 until PS3 launch time (and then I'll try Wii when a friend buys it). Then we will see...
-
Alot of people just like you are brainwashed by the name SONY. Have you tried there online gameplay its terrible. Dont let Sony's early movies of games fool you, you can be sure they wont look like that. When the PS3 comes out we will make our decision, and if it's as great as you say it is, most hardcore gamers will buy both 360 and PS3, but if they like to play online like i do they'll need a XBOX 360.
-
Wow, take a deep breath my friend - no doubt both systems will offer up some nice capabilities for both camps. <br><br>Nonetheless, have fun with your "next-gen" console, you sure won't be playing online with friends much though. Xbox Live is way ahead of Sony. . .But I guess broadband internet gaming isn't "next-gen" since the internet's been around for a minute.
-
This has to be one of the most intelectual posts on a console I've seen in a long time. I do believe though that the Revolution deserves a lot of credit as a next-gen advancement not just the PS3. as you said tech specs are worthless and the Revolution will most likely be less powerfull than both the 360 and PS3 but where the PS3 innovates in CPU technology Nintendo is inovating in gameplay and user interaction. The new motion sensing controller unit for the Revolution is something truley next-gen because it opens up the possibillity of genre's never before possible. Overall outstanding post Just don't count Nintendo out of the Next-Gen catagory yet the inovation is there we just need some games to truley confirm it.
