XBOX 360 Vs PS3
Clash of Game Console Titans

XBOX360 Reviews
In initial reviews of XBox 360 it gets a negative feedback from players and market watchers. People now have no inhibitions to cut cruel comments against the gadgets they buy, even if it comes from a world monster like Microsoft. Surely, a negative sign, but you just can’t ignore the capabilities of X Box 360. People increasingly looking up to the arrival of PS3 can be another reason for the present bad image X Box carries.
It is not so sure if hardcore Sony fans wait for too long to try a hand at PS3. It is a point where Microsoft scores, early marketing aimed at a whitewash sale of their console before a competitor gets enough chance to get a foothold. Microsoft’s sales strategy can backfire too -- X Box 360 is now considered premature entrant to the booming market just to beat PS3 and time.
Developing high performance games by developers round the world optimized for X Box, and re adjustable for latest PS3 is more than a good challenge to computer game developers. When it arrives, PS3 will be on safe side with availability of a number of games complete with sharp graphics and unbelievably realistic audio.
Xbox360 Processing Capabilities
Clocked 3.2 GHz, both consoles come with killer processing powers. PS3 beats X Box 360 by a good margin when it comes to overall processing capacity. PS3 handles 51 billion dot point operations per second while X Box reaches only 33.6 billion. PS3 also comes with next gen, dual-layer BLU-ray Discs with a whopping capacity of 54 GB, ensuring gaming experience in HD quality. Two teraflops computing capacity ensures landscapes and unforeseen universes (or multi-verses) come alive before gamers as incomparable real time sharp images. Whatever sized games will fit well in a DVD. Simply the game machines are nothing short of powerful supercomputers.
Compatibility with previous models
The Xbox360 is compatible with some major titles of original X Box. PS3 fully supports all the games from the original PS and PS2.
Playing Online with the Xbox360

You can also voice chat with the other player or download your favorite flick. The gamer also has a gaming identity, which allows other players to know the capabilities of a particular player, his/her favorite games, and strong points.
Latest from Microsoft and Sony
