I think i would of replaced Scribblenauts with Alan Wake and Forza 3 with the PSP Go but other then that would agree. Was a very good E3 i thought, very memorable.

it's funny that Gamespot come out with this piece and spin it to make it appear better for the PS3. Anyone who has followed EuroGamers scientific comparisons every month for almost a year now knows that factually the 360 has overall better gfx then the PS3. That is why most games getter better scores on the 360 and not the PS3. So while this comparison is interesting i do find it hilarious Gamespot failed to mention that Fallout 3 actually received better scores even on its own website then the PS3 version. It is also funny that they keep forgetting to show the bad news for PS3 i.e they fail to mention it has seen its sales dive by almost 50% in the past 2 months. Fail to mention that LBP and Resistance 2 have failed to even sell 1m units combined worldwide in over 3 weeks. Fail to mention the 360 has just had its higesht ever sales week in europe seeing it sell over 100k more then the PS3 nor fail to mention the 360 and Wii combined are selling at 6 consoles to 1 over the PS3. Tommorow is Black Friday and reports say they think xbox will sell 3 to 1 and maybe even 4 to 1 over the PS3, whats the bets as always Gamespot is the only website not to mention those things due to its obvious blackout on any negative Sony pro Microsoft news.

IceHawk How on earth do you figure that Orange Box looks better on PS3?! The game was a lousy port by EA not Valve. Valve didn't even want to touch it. Hell it got some really bad reviews. It has a metacritic score of 89% on the PS3 compared to 96% on the 360. As for GTA4 being better think you need to read http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=137829 This is the most scientific non biased comparison of the two games in excistence.

That is a serious statement ToySoldier! How is the 360 being maxed out exactly? As far as i can tell people said this stuff in 2006 after games like Gears etc.. They said it couldn't run games any higher. But then come along PC mega spec games like BioShock and Oblivion and run them pretty much with ease. Those games in their days were the top of the PC food chain in terms of needing a high end pc to run them well. I don't think neither console is anywhere near their potentials but most of all the 360. New game after new game just keeps on looking better and better. Look at GTA4 for example. That game runs at a higher fps then the PS3 version and has zero slow downs or bad framerates. Plus how can the developers learn to make the PS3 games better if they are not actually creating the games for it? They are choosing to create their games on the easier hardware to use and porting it to the PS3....

Tyaj I actually think a serious thorn in the PS3's side is the Blu-Ray format. The PS3 is nearing it's 19th month on release and the actual BluRay sales are bad. Really bad. Home Media who track the format sales say Blu-Ray sales are down 7% this month alone. While standard Dvd's have increased by 5%. Blu-Ray was released in June 2006. So in 2 years the format holds under 5% of the definition format without even a competitor, this suggests due to it's decline Blu-Ray is not catching on. Now there are other factors which are hindering Blu-Ray. Most notibly the Install of games. The reason these games have to be installed is because the discs read slow. slower then standard dvd's. What use is a disc that holds so much information but yet can't run well on it's own? Next is the asumption that because the PS3 has this amazing technology it must be better then the 360. Well actually no, it dosen't work like that. After a year and a half the PS3 is still not reaching it's supposed potential. Where are these games that will blow the supposed inferiour console out of the water? No-where to be seen. In comparisons like this the 360 has won most of the times. It cost less, has a standard dvd player and has a bog standard 20gb hard drive and doesn't need to install games to run. The PS3 has to install these games to just be on par with it. So while i agree that Blu-Ray has the potential to start producing great looking games, a year and a half into it's life cycle it is not currently doing so and developers are choosing to make the games onto the 360 then port it over to the PS3. Some developers all together don't want to make games for the PS3 such as Valve. In my eyes the PS3 is doing very well but i wonder if we are now entering a time where the hype is dying down again for it. These comparison features especially the ones by Eurogamer don't help it's cause that is for sure.

Wow Gamespot says the 360 is better! And there was me thinking you had gone Pro PS3 :) Seriously, the only reason the 360 games look better is because majority of the time they are the devs lead format. Take Orange Box for example, Valve didn't even bother doing a PS3 port, EA had to do that version. As Gamespot said it isn't so much of a PS3 hardware fault but a fault of the devs and the fact they can't be bothered to put the same effort into it.
