Major Nelson has an exhaustive look at the specs of the PS3 vs. 360. Microsoft engineers sat down and took a look at what Sony placed on the table. Sure, the engineers are biased — they made the 360 after all. But we’re sure y’all will call them on any spinning.
The four parter breaks down the battle by CPU, GPU and bandwidth. I’ll leave it to the pros out there to make heads or tails out of it, but Major’s conclusion wraps it up with a well-mannered glove in Sony’s face.
”When you break down the numbers, Xbox 360 has provably more performance than PS3. Keep in mind that Sony has a track record of over promising and under delivering on technical performance. The truth is that both systems pack a lot of power for high definition games and entertainment.”
Microsoft seems to be comfortable with where they are hardware-wise. The one thing I can say for sure is they don’t have anything to fear on the services side. Xbox Live! is alone at the top, and no one seems interested in trying to take them down. Yeah, everyone’s trying to throw in multimedia thingies, too. But unless those thingies make my games more fun…bah!
