anyone seen the fallout 3 review from IGN?

the 360 version got 96
the ps3 version got 94

a measly 2 points of a difference,and people are going around claiming "OMG TEH PS3 VERSION SUXORS!!"



2 points...

care to elaborate? as far as i know, only FF13 is being developed on PS3 as the lead platform.
devs are still complaining about the difficulties in producing a multi plat games with PS3 as the lead platform till today.

simple fact is : CELL is a powerful processor. yes, i admit that. but the architecture around it (256 RAM, bottlenecks, bluray transfer data) is killing the possibilities of the machine to be exploited thoroughly. to explore everything needs time and with the turnaround time of development nowadays (which is 2 years max), most development house do not want to spend their time and resources trying to get the most out of PS3. thus why they opted to develop in a dev-friendly toolset provided by MS.

i just realised that i sound OT. sorry.

I have thought about this question why Wii is the best selling consoles for this current gen. We have to admit that there aren't many hardcore gamers around that is willing to fork out hundred or even thousands on a gaming machine. The Nintendo Wii has already won the war by introducing the cheapest yet affordably priced console. Parents looking for a gaming console for their kids will sure to get the cheapest console in the market. (As long as it keeps their kids satisfied, it'll do). Playstation 3 has already lost the current gen war. Nevertheless, I still hope they keep on churning out great titles for hardcore gamers and in the meantime, learn their mistake and rebound back to reclaim their past glory under Playstation 4!

Note: I am a PS fanboy!! 

@ Thrust - Your argument made sense and logical, u r a civilised fanboy    Not like some fanboys that yell homophobic or degrading words on the "other camp".

I really dun mind where those exclusive goes to, i can't buy all of them anyway. However.... I got a 360 instead of PS3, due to impulse buying, no other reasons. I might get a PS3 when the impulse hit me during my payday.

@ Gundamalpha - Dude i dun agree. The war is over, and the ranking is done. MS as a company is much more savvy and aggressive, they are not like SEGA during Saturn/Dreamcast days. MS has so much at stake, they are trying very hard to sustain their momentum.

Although profitable, MS Empire is under attack. MS have lost the Yahoo bid, Google/IBM is attacking their Office hegemony, Cloud computing is rendering OS unimportant..... MS will need another viable earning source, which currently look like XBOX business is the answer. Honestly, looking at MS and SONY management track record, I would think MS management has what it takes to secure 2nd place, and make decent profit. SONY need a new CEO, period.

It doesn't matter who has the best technology really, the strategy & MGMT quality of the company matter the most. look at history:
Window 95 VS OS/2 - OS/2 is better, but the old IBM screwed at everything.
N64 VS PS1 - N64 has better specs, but Nintendo lost to the new kid on the block. (Oh, GameCube VS PS2 as well)
Concorde VS Boeing 747 - Concorde is supersonic! UK + France airlines were forced to buy Concorde, no other airline give a shit.
VHS VS Betamax - Betamax is the pro! But the common man just love their porn better on VHS.
