PS3 no better than Xbox, says Microsoft boss

PS3 no better than Xbox, says Microsoft boss -- Electronics NEWS - about-electronics.eu

A pretty good article all in all

Here's an excerpt

Sony has argued that the PS3’s £425 price tag is good value considering its cutting-edge technology, but Mr Thompson questioned whether the Blu-ray drive, the PS3’s high-definition DVD player whose complexity contributed to delays of several months, would prove much of an attraction.

“It’s two, three years ahead of the market,” he said. “People won’t want to replace their entire DVD collections, and they’ll get a better resolution with a standard DVD on an Xbox than a PS3.”

Main problem is, atleast in Sweden, that the games that are released now use far too less of the PS3's potential. So if you wait for a while you'll get the better games and the console itself might've gone down in price - and it is freaking expensive!

My 360 with lots of bonus stuff and two games cost me 4500 SEK - the console of the PS3 alone is 6000-7000 SEK. It is insane.

Most of the games id want for the PS3 i already have for PC, or Xbox 360 or they will be coming to Xbox 360 and PC too. If the PS3 isnt going to peak for years and also not going to have any games on it worth buying over the Xbox 360 versions then i see no need to buy one for quite a while and also price will have dropped dramatically saving me loads of cash.

Perfectly true that - I am happy and content with my 360. I aint touching the PS3.

Boomtown - Eidos - PlayStation 3 won't be large enough to support development of major titles.

Xbox is the console of today. PS3 is the console of tomorrow. And tomorrow isn't here yet.

Here is a good cost comparison from 1up
Better Value? Sony's PlayStation 3 or Microsoft's Elite 360 news from 1UP.com

Actual Cost of an Xbox 360 Elite with everything offered by PlayStation 3:

$849.95​

This number declines sharply if next-gen disc formats (subtract $199.99) aren't a priority to you as a consumer, or if consumers have no interest in wireless connectivity (subtract the cost a WiFi solution -- $79.99-$99.99 of the solutions we listed).


Actual Cost of a PlayStation 3 with everything offered by Xbox 360:

$857.80​

Obviously, this number declines sharply (to $754.95) with the purchase of a Logitech headset and an HDMI cable from Monoprice.

Makes you realize everything you get with the 360

That's what the analysts are saying
Xbox to Lead U.S. Market Through 2009

PS3 will have it's day (maybe) but the Microsoft will come out with the Xbox 720 in 2012 or maybe they'll call it the XtraBox :lol:

It's all about the games and Xbox is winning that battle. Fable 2 is going to look so much better on the 360 than the PS3 primarily because it won't be on the PS3 :lol:

In your price comparison it says the Elite Xbox 360 works out cheaper? Is that what its saying as all ive heard recently is people saying how the PS3 works out cheaper and better value for money... does that disprove that theory?

At the rate the PS3 is going, it might be dead and gone by that time.:hmm: But, nobody absolutely knows for sure, so just like you said..we'll have to wait and see...... But in the meantime of waiting.....*grabs 360-Controller*...:shifty:...

I'd say it does. Most of the comparisons favoring the PS3 don't take into account that you actually get things with the 360 that you don't with the PS3. Plus they weren't comparing it to the Elite because it wasn't around.

I just noticed on DMC.org people posting quite a different opinion on that price to that and you yourself posted a different price margin:

Re: PS3 no better than Xbox, says Microsoft boss

Again I didn't take in to account some of the things like the wireless bluetooth head set that you get with the Xbox 360 Elite

I'll have to post that article there as well thanks
