3. "Other Differences Between the PS3 and 360

The 360 version simply looks better. The colors pop. The animations, at this point, run smoother. So much for spending $600.


To top it off, while full 30-man online leagues will be available on the 360, right now the PS3 plan is for up to 12-man leagues (although the team is pushing hard to get 30-man teams in the PS3 version as well, but it might be too much to ask).

What do you get if you're a PS3 owner? You get the ability to swing your bat by pushing the controller forward in a motion like you're sliding the soup back to the waiter because you just found a fly in your minestrone. First swing I took with the PS3 controller, I hit a homerun. Does that mean it's too easy? We'll wait and see, but something like this, in my opinion, would be better off left to the homerun derby. If you're preaching authenticity, it seem contradictory to then all of a sudden tell people that they have hold the controller flat out in front of their body then push it forward to swing. At least when you're playing Wii Sports, you're swinging the controller like a bat. Here, something about the experience just seems awkward. You can keep the soup."

...

"One thing about location and gameplay that's missing on the PS3, though, is the ability to feel the location of your pitches through the rumble. Obviously, there is no rumble on the PS3 controller, so how are you supposed to hide your location from the batter by using the rumble to know when you're out of the strike zone? IGN's own Hilary Goldstein brought this up during the demo and it was something I never even thought about before, but he's right. PS3 owners are going to have a hell of a time hiding their pitch location in 2-player contests unless 2K comes up with a new way for pitchers to know when their moving out of the zone."

While i'd get the Wii version for my non-existent Wii any-day over the 360 version, if it were to be released for a Wii, which it hasn't . . . i'm going to pick this up when it comes out.

You need to do it, I ran out of my "10 topics a day" limit in System Wars, so I was hoping one of you would do it! :D

So that just adds to all the multiplat games that look better on the 360.  You know what you are going to hear. Its 1st gen games vs 2nd gen games. Blah blah blah and then it will be 2nd gen games vs 3rd gen games.   Hey so far 360 has the best graphics and until PS3 shows some good graphics on gameplay I will stick to my belief.  All the 2ks looked better on the 360

Its not because the ps3 doesn't have enough power its just that its really hard to make games for, alot of devs are saying that the 360 is capable of better graphics, im not just saying this to piss people of it is really what i herd, and who's to say the ps3s power will ever be pushed to its full potential. Its obvious that the 360 will be seen more better looking games.
