Sora96 17,256 Posted February 18, 2014 The PlayStation 3 had much better hardware than the 360 or Wii. Wii was only SD and the 360 didn't use Blu-ray Discs. fixed And costs at least double that of the PS4. 2 Caity and Sora_Roxas26 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ummm dude we already know that,that's not new information We already know the PS3 is stronger than the Wii just by looking MasterRoxas didn't say Ps3 is equal to Wii Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MasterRoxas13 340 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) it had better hardware then the 360 but by sooooo little and for at least half of the 7th gen multi- plats looked better and played better on the Xbox 360 then its PS3 counterpart(Skyrim and other games that I can't think of at the moment lol) . PS3 exclusives are the only games on the PS3 that showed the PS3 true power other then that it, they are equal. ( at least in my opinion).

Better yeah but not by much the only difference is that the Ps3 has Blu-Ray which is much bigger than the regular DVD that the 360 uses 2 Dark Goddess and MasterRoxas13 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They had to downscale FINAL FANTASY XIII to 576p for the 360 version. I think that makes it clear. 2 Ruby Rose and Sora_Roxas26 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caity 3,946 Posted February 18, 2014 The PS3s hardware was better than the Xbox360s, but none of the game developers actually fully utilized it so you don't see much of a difference other than Xbox360 needing 3 discs and PS3 needing one for the same game. I'm pretty sure Nintendo would rather the Wii U count as an upgrade in the last generation considering it's more powerful than both but laughed upon in the current generation. Regardless I forgot what I saying. 1 Ruby Rose reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PS3 exclusives are the only games on the PS3 that showed the PS3 true power other then that it, they are equal. ( at least in my opinion).Half looked better? Now thats a straight up lie. A couple of games, including Skyrim, ran a bit better just due to RAM. Otherwise they all generally looked or played better on PS3. The only thing Sony did wrong was giving the PS3 a complicated structure, whereas the Xbox 360 had a more PC based architecture making it easier to develop for. But now the PS4 has both better hardware and a more PC based architecture, whereas the X1 is complicated with inferior hardware, which is why (as we already know) the PS4 will always look and play better. 1 Sora_Roxas26 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MasterRoxas13 340 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) The PS3 is more powerful but like Caity said devs struggled to hit the PS3 true potential. So like I original said, the PS3 is more powerful but there is no real difference between the two ( at least for the most part) . Multi platforms ( like COD, NBA 2K, battlefield, GTA 4 ,Crysis, Bioshock, and Skyrim etc.) look and run better on Xbox 360 with a few exceptions ( final fantasy, GTA 5 etc.). But when you compare PlayStations exclusives to Xbox's, you see that the PlayStation 3 is more powerful. LightChaser with that humor. No the Dreamcast was 6th gen it was Sega's fourth system though ( if you don't count the Sega 1000). Edited February 18, 2014 by MasterRoxas13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
