XBox 360 Graphics Better Than PS3?

PS3 vs XBox 360
Last month a side by side comparison of the PS3 and the XBox 360s graphics capabilities seemed to indicate that there was very little difference between the two consoles. This time Gamespot has taken it a step further by saying that the XBox 360 actually fared better than the PS3 from a visual perspective.

The Xbox 360 had better graphics in almost all the games we examined. The 360’s biggest victories were in Madden 07 and Fight Night Round 3, where the differences in texture detail and lighting stood out in our comparison shots. We couldn’t capture this in the screenshots, but the Xbox 360 games generally offered better framerates too.

There is no doubt that this conclusion will piss off a lot of hardcore Playstation fans. However, as I indicated in the previous analysis (and Gamespot argues this same point), Sony’s developers have not had enough time with the console to really push it’s limits. The real battle will come next year when game companies have had plenty of time under the hood of both consoles.

Gamespot’s screenshot comparison covers NFS Carbon, COD 3, Madden 07′, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, NBA 2k7, Fight Night, Tony Hawk’s Project 8, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07′. Click here to check out their extremely thorough analysis.

    PS3 iss way better than 360 because PS3 outsold them in the clossing mounths in 2007 and so far leads in 2008. People that own 360’s go out and now by PS3’s. And PS3 is about to do something the 360 could not dream of doing– pass the Wii in sales. 360 has their own games, but in 2009, PS3 will already have killzone2 and the new socom , and the new resistence. So just like XBox 1, PS3 is going to bury 360.

    That’s… questionable reasoning, at best.

    This article is BS first of all, and second of all… Wii isn’t even part of this war. Wii doesnt fit the hardcore gaming genre of the X360 or the Playstation 3. And every developer, every game industry, every reviewer in the entire world already confirmed the PS3’s graphics… they are better than the 360’s not by a long shot, but they are better. When games are going to be produced on the PS3 first, then you will see the big diffrence… but never in my life had I heard someone say the 360 Graphics are better than the PS3, unless they where a fanboy. Game-over X360… and hopefully Wii (Shitty system… Don’t buy it)

    Well tbh the games graphics on both systems are down to how good the graphic designers who make the game, so between xbox 360 and ps3 there shouldn’t be much of a difference.
    the only thing i will say is that the PS3 is a true HD console, and DISPLAYS upto 1080p,
    whereas the Xbox 360 SCALES up to 1080p.

    also how come Xbox 360 is 7th con anyways?
    it should be sixth con because it uses the same
    disc as PS2 and Xbox. and as it’s only a DVD disc console now… y do people still pay the same price for a game as the ps3.

    between the 360 and the ps3 i think that right now they match each other stride for stride. but i definatily think the ps3 will rise up against the 360 in a year or so. im also looking forward to upcoming titles like killzone 2, resistance 2 that will blow the 360 away
