Do people not realize the discrepency between the consoles' visual quality is solely because of developer preference/laziness? Since xbox 360 is the predominant console in America, most Western-style games are marketed and developed for Microsoft's console. And if you couldn't conclude from this "Graphics Comparison Feature," the difference is rather miniscule. The title of this article is rather misleading because it implies that the consoles are responsible for the quality and the optimization of the games' code. If GameSpot really wanted to have a versus battle between the consoles, they should compare the exclusives of each console. This would really show the potential of each console and hopefully eliminate the stigma against the Playstation 3 in America. Honestly out of the two consoles, the Playstation 3 has the most headroom when it comes to hardware. Sony also shows that they can create the industry's best (console) visuals and arguably the best, or atleast most varied gameplay (for exclusives.) The most important thing you can do is to ignore all this technical wankery and have fun with your games!
Why do people have to come on hear and say the best platform for this is the 360? This is a PC post to help PC gamers who are on the fence of the system. Everyone realizes the consoles are cheaper than PCs but than again theres a reason why people beef up their PCs. I'm into video production, programming, and gaming, and you can only do one of those on the console. And where do you think these games are made? On the console? Can everyone stop trying to compare what they have to another thing i.e. consoles to PC. Yes consoles have a wider selection of games and are more accessible to the public, but they're never going to out power a PC. You're also not going to find fighting games and other unique genres for consoles on a PC. Can't everyone just enjoy what they have? And who says you have a cap at one platform. Hell, I recently bought a ps2 and am having a great time with it. I would get a 360 but for me, a computer is a higher priority. It will last much longer than a console. Period. Thats not saying I'm not gonna get a 360; I want to get a 360. There are certain titles you can only get on a console. So please lay this silly bickering to rest and just respect other peoples opinions. This is a PC post trying to help players optimize their gameplay experience; not a space to taunt each other because some one has a better platform. In my opinion, PC shooters have always been meant for a keyboard and mouse, and that is still the most refined controls for a first person shooter. The most revolutionary shooters are designed for the PC i.e. Half Life 2, Crysis. Most of the "great" console shooters are ports, or rehashes of PC games. God strike me down for having an opinion, but you my friends are not God, so quit the crap.
