One of the largest debates in the world of console gamers is which console is actually better, the Xbox360 or the PlayStation3? People can argue everything from power, to hardware, to even personal preference. This debate goes much further than just what each console consists of and most of the time comes down to consumer loyalty. People tend to choose something and stick with it whether it is better or worse than its competitors such as the fight over Apple or Microsoft or Ford vs. Chevy. Factoring in consumer loyalties will get any debate or comparison nowhere so in order to create an accurate comparison all biases and facts based on feeling must be discarded. This isn’t a debate over what is better based on usage but more of a debate of quality using statistics and solid facts about hardware and speed. Basic things such as number of sales, cost of consoles, and basic attributes need to be looked at and are a big factor in quality but aren’t the only thing. There are larger things such as compatibility, hardware such as GPU and CPU, and also features that increase gaming ability. Most likely with only being a year apart in release and having multiple new updates and even models it will come down to them being almost the same, at least in the eyes of the consumers.
Starting with the PlayStation3 or the PS3 for short, it is the product of Sony Corporation and is a 7th generation console.

... quality than that of the Xbox360. But there are more things than just pure performance that weigh a person’s vote. In a world such as this there is a high emphasis on user loyalty and even if an item isn’t as good people will still choose it if they have a history with it.

Many people agree that Sony’s Playstation 4 is better than Microsoft’s Xbox One and vice versa. I have been gaming since I was seven years old and still am today. The first gaming console I ever had was the original Xbox. Throughout the years though, technology has improved vastly. The last generation of game consoles gave the industry a much needed boost and gave the consumer another commodity. With the eighth generation of consoles just arriving, a lot of people are wondering which console to buy. There is, however, more than just the choice of games. There’s differences in processors, graphics cards, hard drives, design, operating systems, ports, versatility, stability, controllers, and, of course, the games.
Atari was the first commercial video game company with hits like ‘break out” and “pong”. For many people pong was the first video game they have ever played. The idea of pong is that there is two rectangles that only move up and down and a little square that bounces around the screen until one of the rectangles miss, once the rectangle miss’ the game is over. This game may seem simple now but it sold 19,000 units so you can say what you want but back then this was the greatest game ever.
Hello gamers! I'm Andrew McNeil, and today, there are a few facts you should know. With a new generation of video game consoles, I’m sure you are all eager to buy the best system. The problem is, (point towards crowd) you can’t decide which one to actually buy. That’s why reviews were invented: to let people know what the best game system is.
Which system is better, Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, or Sony PlayStation 2? Which system is the better buy? These are just some of the questions people ask themselves when it comes to purchasing one of these systems. In my opinion, I believe that the “best buy” is the PlayStation 2.
The next generation of video consoles, the Xbox 360 (2005) and PlayStation 3 (2006), featured still greater integration of proprietary gaming networks and consoles. There are many different types of XBox games. The most famous X Box games are known as X Box 360, XBox Live, and XBox One. It is one of the popular game in the world.

Do you or any of your friends play video games on a console? If you ask gamers the question, “gaming console you like the most?” they will probably say Xbox One or PlayStation 4.

Before moving into the dorms at Michigan State, I had to do a lot of shopping in preparation for the transition. Prior to moving in I knew my room needed at least one console for the four of us (I live in a quad). Since none of my three roommates had one I decided to get one off amazon. It was nice in the summer having one, but now it was more of a necessity. Recently, the price of a new PS$ dropped to $300. It is an e...
In the console-gaming world people know Sony and Nintendo. Microsoft may be the largest and richest software company in the world, but it’s unknown when it comes to console gaming. Microsoft is counting on the Xbox to change that perception. Gamers may not be willing to take a chance with the Microsoft Xbox, even if it is far superior to any console ever made. Nintendo Gamecube is nothing if charismatic. Nintendo’s new machine is half the size of any other console and looks like a toy with its brightly colored plastic shell and handle. It’s destined to be home of such popular games as Mario, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, and Kirby. Nintendo Gamecube seems mismatched as it goes up against the Microsoft Xbox and the Sony Playstation 2 (a multimedia mayhem that Sony says it’s supposed to be “The Future Of Entertainment”). All this makes you think; what makes Nintendo believe it can possibly go up against the ultra-sophisticated Xbox.
