Microsoft to challenge PlayStation 3 launch with Halo 3
It sounds like a weird competition. Sony PlayStation 3 vs. Microsoft Halo 3! However, this is what Bill Gates has planned for the upcoming gaming plus entertainment console from the tech giant Sony. Reports from the GameSpot gaming website claims that Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has told Time Magazine that whenever Sony launches their next generation gaming console, they would be landing into the launching of the next version of the massively popular Microsoft game Halo 3.
Halo 3 is being called the killer application for the Microsoft’s own console Xbox 360 due to be launched sometime later this year. Microsoft has been considering Sony to be their prime target in the gaming console market and with Xbox 360, they believe that they have the hardware to beat Sony at their own game. Sony currently dominates the gaming console market with their PlayStation 2 device.
What is interesting is the fact that Bill Gates thinks that Halo would affect the sales of the Sony’s gaming platform. It is quite a long shot to assume that gamers would ignore the highly anticipated Sony PlayStation 3 just because Halo 3 would be available for only Xbox platform. Halo has been extremely profitable venture for Microsoft but compared to PlayStation 3, it would be just a piece of software and die-hard Sony fans would probably ignore the lure from the software giant.
hahahahahaha……what a bloody joke………..halo 3 is all xbox will have to show off for that piece of shit and playstation 3 sales will be huge no matter what……halo couldnt lure away a newby to playstation….hahahahaha
Three Words: Grand Thieft Auto.
Halo vs. GTA no way. PS3 and new GTA combo will beat 360 Halo hands down. I have all the GTA’s I have never even played Halo and have no desire to.
X-Box, ha I have never taken my X-box out of the box. SOCOM 3 will beat any game X-Box (billy boy) has ever made. All he wants is the money in the game industy like he has it in the pc world. Sony better keep on doing what the do best and not flop out. If they stick to making good games and keeping there fan base happy they won’t have any problems.
Halo 3 will totally kick GTA’s Ass, you will play the game for like 2 weeks then what? ONline multiplayer is where it’s at and the playstation lags behind. I have never liked playstation and never will. All they do is flood the market with crappy games and few goods one mixed in. While xbox is the reverse, I have over 25 games, and I still go back and play them again when I am not playing Halo 2 online
hahhahhahaha….is that why rockstar went to microsoft?….
i havent seen the game yet but i halo three’s gonna b awsome
Releasing Halo 3 at that time’s a great marketing ploy and it will definently hurt the PS3 sales but I don’t believe it will make a huge difference. I think that with the hardware jump both systems are making that both will make more money over time than they do at the kick off. Either way they’re both killing computer gaming. *sobs*
I don’t think that halo3 is going to prevent ps3 from selling…but i don’t think people are going to wanna buy gta instead of halo. Then again that’s my opinion, but lets just admit that the xbox 360 does look a tiny bit **** even if theres going to be detachable faces, but the ps3 is sleek and sexy.
I had Playstaion 1 and then went to 2 and then my ps2 broke so i bought another 1 because i had like 30 games….. then my second ps2 broke and i treated my systems good … so i bought a x box and right away i got live…. all i do is play halo2 live….. nothing else is need
yeah ps3 and xbox 360 are gonna be pretty awesome but nothing compares to the old nintendo and turtles in time and excite bike. They ROCK..!!!!
halo 3 will dominates stupid gta and all those dumb sony games halo dominates all
halo 3 will effect ps3 sales.. if u have a xbox all u need is halo and ur set.. cuz microsoft rocks and sony is nothing compared to it
i think halo is a great game but there is no way it can beat an entire new game system, especially something like playstation
The fact that halo 3 will launch the same time that ps3 launches will hurt sony.GTA wont hurt microsoft b/c rockstar games is working with them as well, The best thing t5hat the ps3 has going for them is killzone2. Halo 3 and ghost recon 3 will prolly blow that thing outta the water
Ya right halo3 will be the sweetest FPS ever made i dont care about your dumb plastations theve never been that great i always hated them
gta is ok but not a fps so second rate
But, I’m kinda dissapointed to see that the PS3 will have more power than the Xbox360, I’m a power junkie and all I want is the most powerful system available.
One thing you Playstation junkies need to get through your heads is that Xbox is better that Playstation. And tato82 just to comment on what you said… even though PS3 will have more power than Xbox360, it still sucks, for the PS2 had alot more power than Xbox and Xbox still came on top in graphics and such. It’s mostly that Microsoft products have better software than well, just about anything. And software > hardware
But when releasing Halo 3 and Playstation 3 at the same time i think that their will alot less sales for the PS than Halo. You have to take into consideration that almost everyone outside the United States owns an Xbox; Japan, China, and just Asia as a whole will all have their copy of Halo 3.
I think that realesing Halo 3 will slow down the ps3. Just think about: the only reason ps2 is ahead of xbox is cuz they had a 1 year head start. Now microsoft has the lead and most people will buy the xbox. wen ps3 comes out, people would already have the 360 so there probly gonna buy halo 3.
When you compare xbox and playstation 2 it’s apples and oranges the ps2 was the BEST for sports games but it sucked for FPS Xbox was a pain in the ass for sports because the controller was the size of rhode island until the madcats microcon came out and it still sucked. The ps2 controller was made for racing and sports SOCOM was a huge letdown because of the shitty controller but madden 2003 was great because the small size and button placement.
ok thats my 2 cents and not a penny more.
As Spuddy compared Xbox and Playstation, he was right. Though, that is one reason there are more Xbox fans; there aren’t as many people that like sport games as there are that like FPS and other types of games.
Good Idea X Box but my question is which game system i should get?
Xbox, of course
Sony has always sucked, there graphics seem blurry and slow, I bought a 64 instead of a PS1 and an XBox instead of a PS2. Sony can lick my ass with their 2nd rate garbage. Buy a Xbox (Halo3 is gonna destory PS3)
all the things ps3 says they can do, 360 will do same things. sony has more power but doesnt use it to their fullest ability, not all that close. if 360 had cell it would be like 10000 times better than ps3. 360 has much more functions. halo 3 will kill ps3 sales. the only thing i need to live is halo 2 live i could literally play it forever. i definetly get 360 and halo 3 will kill ps3!
im not sure where you guys are getting your getting your info about the systems hardware, but im looking at a complete specs list for both systems and the xbox has the ps3 beat in almost every number. ps3 has one core at 3.2GHz, xbox has 3 of them. ps3 has one vmx on its core, xbox has 1 per core, making 3 total. xbox has more Ram, speed, memory, and the only thing im seeing better on the ps3 is the floating point performace. ps2 is 2 teraflops, xbox is 1 teraflop. but other than that, how is the ps3 better than the xbox as far as hardware?
you guys play too many freakin games. get out n see the world. go have sex with some real girls and not cortana on halo.
wow.Xbox 360 is gonna blow ps3 out of the water. PS3 will be another crappy console that will burn out in a month anyways. And the GTA games are onlyfun the first time around. Halo was fun,Halo 2 is even better online and I’m sure halo 3 will be the same.
btw-I have gone out and seen the world and I have a gf.
the PS3 and GTA are gonna kick the crap out of the crapy xbox 360 and halo 3
Six Words: Grand Theft Auto for xbox also. DUH!!!
Are you kidding me? According to the E3 conference, the PS3’s release date is Spring 2006, can Microsoft really make Halo3 in less than a year after Halo 2’s release? I highly doubt it, after all, it took them 3 years to make Halo 2. Plsu, Xbox 360 doesn’t have anything new, sure, somethings are improved, but any new features? Not really. They focus WAY too much on online gaming. Did you see the demo graphics? It totally sux compared to PS3’s. Sony ALL THE WAY!
sony has been beating microsoft with there ps2 even when the xbox is more advance all this time. and before those xbox fags move on to the 360 sony will launch socom 3 (that will have people keep thier ps2)ps3 will be more powerful than the 360. oh ya i have an xbox so i know what it can do. for those of u who say just get halo 2 and your set than thats not good enough. i got halo 2 at chrismas i beat the game on chrismas day! and i played online and it was fun for 3 mounths and now its boring as f#@$@! hell. when halo 3 comes out when ps3 does , ps3 will have its killzone 2 (aka halo killer) and will take care of halos sorry ass and have many more better looking and funner games for the ps3
I dunno where you gettin one core from (PS3), the cell processor has 6 core processors (all at different speeds with the highest being 3.2ghz) which both handle different threads of information which will mean it being used in a different way than the xbox 360 will use its 3 CORES not 1 with all 3 clocking around 3.2ghz. The PS3 also has half the RAM of the XBOX 360 (PS3=256, 360=512) but the PS3 ram speed is much faster than the 360’s. To conclude the power debate, the PS3 beats the XBOX 360 in raw power, but it is much harder to develop for (if any of you know anything about video game consoles, which is looking like a no, then you just have to look at the sega saturn v playstation).
Back to games, everyone seems to be talking about people walking right past a 360 with halo 3 for a PS3 with GTA. First of all, since when has GTA even been announced as a launch title!. Halo 3 isnt gonna halt all sales of the PS3 but it will hurt them alot
Do you all realize that you are comparing a single game to a whole SYSTEM!!!! Although Halo is good it is the only thing going for x-cox. Second we all know game cube and the soon to be nintendo revolution will lay the beatdown on anything that may come it’s way!!!! MWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
You guys arent looking at the big picture. Even if Sony has GTA in the beginning, rockstar will sign to xbox, as all game developers are doing. Microsoft is going to be the only system with complete rights to a game, and it just so happens it will be to the most anticipated game ever. Whereas Halo 2 was so big, Halo 3 will be even bigger, and with Microsoft owning the complete rights to it, there will be no way any Rockstar title can stand up to it, because microsoft will own some of rockstar’s rights as well.
i am sorry fellas but the ps3 is lookin better but all they got is pissy gta and they always come out on xbox anyway about 10 times better. and furthermore the 360 has a detachable harddrive and you can turn it off with the controlers that is truly the pimp.
XBOX 360 will dominate
the death of playstation has come
i have all nintendos. playstations and an xbox
to me xbox is far superior in everyway
the same will happen with xbox 360 and this time there is no head start for sony the lying scum
the ps2 is a creation made to break down but gta is fun for 20 mins :p
halo 3 will dominate until halo 4 haha
anyone hear about the ps3 selling in the 450 dollar price range? i really hope this happens, and it would make complete sense if it does. face it sony, you cant beat microsoft without going bankrupt, and hardly anyone exept die-hards are gonna buy a ps3 for that much. ill take a slightly less powerfull 360 with better games any day of the year, 2005- 2010.
i have always been a xbox fan ever since the first halo came out for it. i never liked xbox untill halo came out. so i think that when halo 3 comes out for the 360, some of the sony fans will becomes halo lovers for the 360.
Its gona be a while befor any1 gets there hands on either so why not just save and then buy both.
The only thing that gona tell is time, if the past is anything to go by, the playstation will win hands down, holo or not.
Either way i cant wait.
Halo 3
GTA has no chance. Halo 3 will piss all over the PS3. People dont need to change from ps3 xbox there are millions of people who like it any way.
Have you watched the PS3 conference?! If you haven’t noticed, the PS3 is more powerful than the Xbox in most aspects. Its 3x more powerful, so dont talk crap :)
First of all- Looking at the two systems is a poor comparison tactic. Yes ive seen both and PS3 does have a better design but are you really gonna be staring at the console while you are playing these new-age games? Second- PS3 may put through better processing but the records of games and their opinionated ratings go to show that XBOX regardless of its lack in the -cell chip- will continue to have better games such as HALO 3 and the much anticipated OBLIVION.
Lastly the Anticipation for such games will pull people in the direction that best pleases them and it wont take Ps3’s gleam -in-the-eye abilities to enjoy the hell out of the New Halo 3. Good luck PS3.
Your games will have good graphics but thats all i will play them for. Maybe try to have a game that i can spend more than 5 minutes on like a point, origonal plot, and/or something withoiut those stupid anime characteristics.
Both xbox 360 and PS3 are gonna rock. I noticed that xbox people don’t say anything bad about PS2, but support xbox. On the other hand, all the Playstation people do is talk crap about xbox, while they have no good facts to back themselves up.

That is my exact thinking… Just because Sony lies through there teeth that their worthless Nvidia card has 1.8 terraflops of over all performance makes everyone go wow it’s twice as good as the Xbox 360. Which if you accually looked at the specs and knew anything about the graphics cards is ludacris. Xbox 360 has 3 cores running at 3.2Ghz a pop, as the ps3 has 1 cell running at 3.2Ghz not to mention it has been said it is a bitch to program for. As for the graphics card the ATI in the 360’s technology and graphics won’t be available for PC until late 2006, not to mention ATI’s good track record ect compared to Nvidia. The Nvidia card although good is just there top end card at the momment but on crack. Anyways it’s way to late for me to even type another word so good night PS3 fanboys and may Halo 3 disturb your sleep.
Xef
I thought when ps3 comes out , they are only realeasing the halo 3 game and the console would come out at a later date…i agree with xbox and halo being alot better then ps2 and whatever games they have out..but it would be silly to just put out a game and no console…will someone fill me in if they are launching halo 3 and 360 at the same time ?
Yeah, Playstation is better for most people. Mostly because playstation are for people ho can’t handle the massive power of the X-Box. So if you r a serous gamer u will get the 360, i know i will.
you are obviosly all a bunch of PC gamming morons who live in some sort of nerd FPS’ers alterverse. first let me address the moron who said, ” You have to take into consideration that almost everyone outside the United States owns an Xbox; Japan, China, and just Asia as a whole will all have their copy of Halo 3.” ??? WTF are you talking about? I could simply give your dumd ass static figures but I’ll do you one better. I have went to japan..have you been?? (known as the gaming center of the world) and hahahaha the only Xboxes I found in the electronic/gams stores (enormous compared to the U.S. BTW) were in the farthest and darkest corneres of their departments hidden in boxes covered by playstation mags. seriosly, I own a xbox so you can say what you will, I tried but their is no suppot for the system of the games espesially halo. Halo maybe you all’s cup of tea but it seems that more ppl around the world are of the opinion that great games should have engrossing stories and meaningful content. You geeks dont really think halos story was great do you??? its all multi-player. you belive this game is the best game ever made?? ask youself this question, how many times have you beatn the single player game.
I have xbox and PS2. I like playing Halo a lot more then GTA and the online multiplayer makes it even more fun. I think that the PS3 will do really good and continue to keep its faithfulls but Halo 3 will rock. I can’t wait to see what additions Halo 3 will have.
Sony doesn’t even need to release a new system because ps2 is still selling. The only reason is to show microsoft who the real kings of entertainment are. Plus the new game Killzone thats coming out for ps3 is supposed to be off the chain. I just can’t wait to see Halo 3 not sell because of the new playstion.
The ps3 will be cool… along with like 2 games but, the xbox360 will have it beat out of the water.one reason is that die hard halo fans will never leave the xbox. the second reason is that between its newlly found graphics and capabilities will kill any new systems (including the ps3). And my 3rd reason is well… the xbox360+halo3+graphics+new capabilities=a new kick A#% system that nothing can even com close to w/o being crapy!! :@
Let’s be realistic here, people. Halo 3 will parry the sales of the PlayStation 3, but only to an extent. Hardcore PS3′ers will probably NOT drop everything they own and run out and suddenly purchase a 360 just to get Halo 3.
However, Microsoft does have the drop on Sony in this situation. XB360 is being released later this year; the PS3 is being released in early-mid 2006.
In addition to this, Microsoft is releasing Halo 3 on the same release day as the PS3 (personally a dirty move in my opinion, but business is business).
It goes unsaid that sales for the 360 will, to say the least, be at least exponentially notable, and at most CONQUERING of the PS3’s sales. However, the PS3 is most notable for its Cell Processor, which Sony has generated a lot of hype about sipmly by repeatedly advertising it, whether it is incredible technology or not. This hype could lead to a sales boost, but it would most definitely not counterbalance the Halo 3 release.
Halo 2 is, to this date, the most sold game. Halo 3 will at least be the same unless it is just godawful, which I doubt (my faith in Bungie extends far).
Even though I will most likely buy a PS3, I have to say that Microsoft will probably win over the PS3 sales, at least temporarily.
i baught halo, then halo 2, and when halo 3 comes out i will be one of the first to own it,halo 2 beat that cronk of #### known as a ps2, and halo 3 will beat that other cronk of #### known as the play station 3.
Halo is cool but the PS3 is better. Grand Theft Auto is better than Halo
Halo ahs been the best market game ever, selling more than any other PS2 game. If yu play Halo youll get addicted so u kep away from it to stay a playstation guy. ur in deniel
Hi i dont have xbox or ps but i know halo is a awsome game and microsoft is the best…………………..MICROSOFT RULZ
ok, im a die hard xbox fan. i have halo 1 and 2, xbox live, etc, but neither system wil blow the other one out of the water. brand loyalty and what system you already have will determine what you buy when the time comes. also, bungie has said nothing about halo 3, although they dodged the question rather well. don’t listen to bill. he is not in charge of halo. bungie is.
I can’t really see how these will affect one-another… PS3 is a new system that Sony lovers will buy… Halo 3 will find it’s way into EVERY Xbox that’s going… but personally, Xbox is waaaaaaaaaay ahead of PS2 and with the amount of Halo2 being played, I’m not going to say anymore! :)
Playstation3 can kiss the fatest part of my ass.
I may be a mac fan (yeah, i know you think it sucks) but i think the xbox is providing the best serivce to a small group with good taste while the ps serves every person who just likes the thrill of purchasing huge numbers of games (like mac to microsft in the computer world). ‘Sides, any advantage ps3 has doesn’t matter when the difference is so small and your already at such high power levels. I’d like to see them make a game that lives up to the graphics of the current systems before the next system comes out.
hALO 3 WILL ROCK SALES FOR XBOX360
I can’t believe all of you are comparing Xbox 360’s Halo 3 and PS3. For starters, PS2 Dominated the Xbox. With saying that it Dominated the Xbox with poorer system specs. The only reason why anyone would buy an Xbox is for Halo, which I have on my PC, or DOA series, which are for pervs.
When PS3 launches, it claims to not only be faster than Xbox 2, is 2 TIMES as fast!!! Just the system alone can blow Xbox 2 out of the water, let alone a stupid game like Halo 3, which you can play on your PC and have better graphics and FREE ONLINE PLAY.
You are talking about comparing a full system, with 2 HDMI ports for 2 wide screen TVs and a SUPER COMPUTER of the 21 century, with a piece of software that can go online.
OH YEAH!!! With Halo 3, I can go to different planets and shoot people online, or I can do the single story that sucks grandmas a**, just like Halo 2 and Halo 1.
The only thing different with Halo 3 compared to the rest of the series are better graphics… that is all you can expect with a shooter. SOFTWARE PEOPLE, YOU CANNOT COMPARE SOFTWARE WITH A ‘SUPER COMPUTER’!
The major difference between PS3 and XBOX360 iis that sony is using blue laser technology in their upcoming platform and microsoft is using hd technology.PS3’s games will be 2 to 3 times as long but they will price more.Xbox360 will be cheaper and more effecient becuase sony just starting using blue ray.Other than that i have played and seen the xbox360 first hand and i can tell you that it will most likely dominate over anything sony has to offer.But hey lets leave that to the fans. :)
i have both the ps2 and x box. GTA….simply awesome. Madden 2006…..again simply awesome. I have been playing PS ever since it came out and I love it. But Halo 2… the BEST online game ever. **Note the “Online” part because that’s what makes the game great..the ability to play the game differently ever time you turn it on and because of all those kooky custom games. I have played (since I got my X Box) X Box 98% of the time(mostly halo). I think Halo3 will definitly have an impact on X Box sales because it is the best multi-player/online game ever.
Play it…I dare you
I think Halo3 will hurt PS3 sales but not 2 much, i have a PS1 that i never play on and i havnt got a PS2 because PS just suck, Period. Hell the NGC is better than a PS2. Then again just my opinion.
i dont know what your talking about xbox’s hardware being less than the ps2’s. xbox hardware is a lot better than ps2’s hardware. besides although xbox didn’t have as many good titles coming out before, almost every good gaming franchise that has large multiplayer support has come to microsoft. halo, halo 2, half-life 2, doom 3, forza motorsport (gran turismo killer), unreal championship 2, etc…
xbox 360 has hardware better than ps3’s by 3-5x in EVERY CATEGORY, and ships earlier.
Sony has nothing to worry about with Halo 3 coming out. The Xbox 360 will shudder under the might of the PS3. The PS3 is just too good to pass up. The Xbox 360 is now more of a media center and PC, than a hardcore gaming console, like the PS3.
the halo franchise is a legend since it has beaten all other first person shooters for over 4 years a very long undefeated streak and halo has done it before it might do it again and it was released when ps2’s slim version was out and it annilated in sales and eventually it was hurting sonys sales and that is why they are doing it again and i noticed something on killzones date that it will be sold almost on the same day but if sonys trying to stop halo it is futile because Halo is the champ so it is not going to be HALO vs GTA because we have that as well so its gonna be HALO 3 vs KILLZONE 2
I had ps2 before I had xbox and I really enjoyed it for about a year. One of my favorite games is Kingdom hearts. But when xbox came out, I didnt buy it right away(big mistake). When I finally bought xbox it changed my world and now all I do is play Halo 2 live. Personally I do not think making Halo 3 and PS3 out on the same day will make much of a difference. Xbox fans will buy Halo 3 and ps2 fans will buy ps3.
I have a question? Do you guys really think that ps2 is that good? Soccom 2 sucks and so does all the army games on it ecspecially Grand theft auto sucks. Get a real game like Halo 2.
Want my account name on xbox live its fletcher91 , tell me a message saying u got my name from here.
Why do all of you have to argue about what game to play and what console to choose! Huh? Why just go in a store, choose if you like the PS3, the XBOX 360, or Nintendo Evolution and buy it. And go enjoy dear life!….simple!….I don’t want game wars. It’s all non-sense. All useless.
P.S.
I don’t want any trouble! I’m just saying this! I am not insulting other consoles…
halo 3 will beat all i love halo 2 and ps booooooorrrrrrrrrriiiiinnnnngggggg i hate it and only like xbox it will rock
Hahah! omg, for those of you that think Halo 3 will have any effect, first consider that Halo games take more than 2 years to develope… and now, Halo 3 is gonna be developed in less than 10 months!! If I’m not mistaken thats no where near 2 years! Bungie is a good company… but If MS is gonna rush Halo 3, its gonna totally SUCK!
I’ve played Halo… nothing special… =P While I will say the GTA games are cool, they aren’t the only cool games PS3 will have!
PS3 has more power and more features, and better games! And its made by a company that hasn’t monopolized every computer in the world. >_> =P
Xbox is a wast of time to buy games, In which I belive that Sony have more to give then Xbox just becaues you can only play Halo 2 or 3 so what, you can say Xbox 360 is better not in a long run, PlayStation 2 and 3 is better at games and impove at its aspect. They had free internet server, for there games and you have to pay $50-$60 dollars for Xbox account internet server, What is that you call cool a monthly cost, I myself have a Xbox, the games are so boring in halo an others, I can walk though out the game and beat it less then an 1hr, even on the sever it can be fun but so boring at the sametime.I can not belive what I’m reading what peoples saying about Xbox games they can only come up with first person view shooting games and sporting games from raceing game, even there so call rpg’s.
I see that the Playstation 3 is so far impove from all system, find out your self I don’t need to say more. O one more thing to say be for i go the U.S is rating all the import games like all the cool ones’, some are not even getting here and you have to order them online.I have love Sony systems from all home entertainment systems and others even own a PlayStastion one and 2. P.S to all
I have 3 friends at school that started a halo sucks club( jsut to piss me off, it was kinda like a joke they just said halo sucks like every 2 hours). they never played it and they were hardcore gta and acecombat gamers. 2 of these peopel played halo 2 and bought an xbox just for it. the other one never did and he never recieved true pleasure in life. The 2 peopel that played it said that they will by an xbox 360 becuase Bill gates knows what he is doing. I mean look, all the good games are coming out for Xbox 360. Halo 3, Perfect Dark zero, elder scrolls 4, KOTOR 3 (not official), GTA. The only thing ps3 has is FF and Kilzone. Halo 3 > killzone Kotor 3 >>>>>>>>> FF
what only for the xbox360 halo3
come on pepole, we need halo3 for the pc and xbox360
this is not going to happen way!
i love halo!
i play it when halo 2 came out i was happy, when i found out that it was for the xbox only i gut pised off really!
i really want halo3 for pc and xbox360 1
thats what we gamers want to have fun and all,
i hope that it will come out in both pc and xbox.
were forgetting the nintendo revolution people.
Ps is the most popular game and it will remain the most wanted Microsoft should be happy with their programs and all the software and harware stuff
Can someone please tell me how ps3 will have better games!?!???……killzone 2 sounds crap……will never beat halo get real. Also without crappy EA playstation wud have bairly anything..whats the point having amazing graphics when only GTA will use them properly……if its not deflected to xbox by then….
Wow all you xbox fanboys need to do your research before you come on here and start flaming the ps3. According to almost all the reputable websites i’ve been too (eg. IGN, gamespot) have said that out of the 2 systems, ps3 has the deffinate better lineup of publishers for release. sorry xbox, but your halo 3 and gay gears of war will sell lots, but will not be able to contend with ALL the just good but not great ps3 games. Halo 3 may be a great game and will sell tons, but it can not overpower 20 good games for the ps3
Oh, and all you idiots saying halo is “the best online game ever” have obviously never played counter-strike, and no i dont mean your gay xbox version, counter-strike has been out many more years that “halo” and still has at least twice as many people playing it.
I hate gta halo rules all the way. Even the first halo is better than the 3rd gta.
Its amusing to see that the very first comment in this discussion is by some complete dumbass who has a narrower vision than the democratic party. Honestly, both machines have comparable specifications, and freankly, after the mass-corporate market-cornering scheme Sony pulled on the PS2, gaming companies aren’t going to be making games exclusively for the PS# much anymore. Secondly, the 360 is scheduled to be out way before the PS3, which already puts the 360 ahead of the game. The Halo franchise, although considered to be, by many consumers (not gaming comapnies), to be the bread and butter of any Xbox console, it never has nor ever will be the sole factor for maintaining any console system. No one console has ever been made or broken because of one game. Ever. Its that simple. These consoles have hundreds and thousands of titles at their disposal and frankly with the hardware in the two new consoles to be released, the Xbox is STILL the more powerful system and its easier to program for, lending an incredible freedom for programmers with its on-the-fly tessalation, programmable L2 and L1 cache, super-robust ATI graphics engine and DTS capable surround sound. To me, the only factor that will save the PS3 this time around is the Blue-Ray Disc. Honestly, that IS sexy, but any consumer would be insane to base their choice of purchase solely on the media format of the system. Sony came out with Blue-Ray and they’re trying to, yet again, corner the market on their own forms of media. Blue-Ray is indeed fantastic, but personally, I wouldn’t buy a PS3 just for that purpose.
All in all, both machines are highly capable, and I believe I will let the games for each machine speak for themselves. When all is said and done, I still think the reigning champion system in this quite serious head-to-head battle will be the 360. I have little doubt of that.
Its amusing to see that the very first comment in this discussion is by some complete dumbass who has a narrower vision than the democratic party. Honestly, both machines have comparable specifications, and freankly, after the mass-corporate market-cornering scheme Sony pulled on the PS2, gaming companies aren’t going to be making games exclusively for the PS# much anymore. Secondly, the 360 is scheduled to be out way before the PS3, which already puts the 360 ahead of the game. The Halo franchise, although considered to be, by many consumers (not gaming comapnies), to be the bread and butter of any Xbox console, it never has nor ever will be the sole factor for maintaining any console system. No one console has ever been made or broken because of one game. Ever. Its that simple. These consoles have hundreds and thousands of titles at their disposal and frankly with the hardware in the two new consoles to be released, the Xbox is STILL the more powerful system and its easier to program for, lending an incredible freedom for programmers with its on-the-fly tessalation, programmable L2 and L1 cache, super-robust ATI graphics engine and DTS capable surround sound. To me, the only factor that will save the PS3 this time around is the Blue-Ray Disc.

PLAYSTATION HAS ALWAYS HAD BETTER HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE THAN ANY OTHER COMPANY – NINTENDO IS A JOKE, crud to be more precise – X-BOX IS A BIT BETTER IN COMPETITION – still a joke. My friend had an X-BOX and he didnt even take it out of the box – HE JUST SOLD IT TO BUY A PLAYSTATION 2 – proof.
Hey guys I have to put it this way nice and simple… Yes PS3 is very nice and shiny with similar specs to Xbox 360, which are close but no cigar and Yes Xbox 360 has 3x the processing power, better graphics, cooler games, is sleek and shiny slim light convenient, has two of the leading titles halo3 and oblivion, and yes will also have GTA on it as always. So what do you have to say.
Plus if your buying ps3 for the finalfantasy series, forget about it, the xbox360 is having FFXI online in its game selection and will have you paying half of sony’s subscription fees to play it. Also the xbox 360 is teaming up with square enix, so expect finalfantasy games for the xbox 360 as well. is there anything here I havent menchened that would take up most of ps3 sales… so give me a…
Hell Yah!!!! for xbox 360
let me see the forums fill with hell yah for xbox at the end of every post come on let me see those HELL YAH’s!!!!
this is the xbox REVOLUTION we cant let sony steal our thunder!!! fight back never give up this war is ours to win you just wait!!!!!!!
What many people fail to realize is that far from being out of the running, the Revolution is a more than adequate contender for next gen. Admittedly, they have promoted the library of classic Nintendo titles more than I think is really necessary, to the point that people think that is its only selling point. Its graphics capabilities will be high end enough to equal the PS3 or the 360, admitting the loss of HD (although who has an HDTV anyways?), and the controller info is yet to be released. It will also feature USB 2.0 ports, probably allowing computer connectivity for monitor usage and to use the computer’s hard drive to store info for games that require a hard disc. It will also be affordable, going for about $180 to $200, the cheapest next gen console by a hundred dollars. But that’s not to say it won’t be powerful. Rumor has it that since Apple dropped IBM in favor of Intel to produce their G5 processors, IBM is supplying the Revolution with dual 1.8 GHz IBM G5 processors, which would certainly provide enough processing power for anything in the coming generation at least. And lastly, every head from Nintendo has hinted that the controller will be the truly revolutionary element. On that note I have no idea what is in store, although August 17th in Leipsig Germany there is a press conference being held in which Nintendo is looking to reveal some more revolution specs. Their campaign and product shots all look very Apple-esqe, and as I have always been a fan of Apple and Nintendo products,
apparently finally merging into one to some degree, I couldn’t be more looking forward to the release of the Revolution.
I don’t care what you say about the two systems. First of all, have you seen the PS3 controller? Only a mutant freak could hold that thing without it jabbing into your legs. Aslo, if I am correct, the PS3’s online play is not free and yet the 360’s is. Enen the Revolution’s online play is free for first party games!
As for you RPG fans, the makers of the Final Fantisy games have announce they are no longer producing the majority of the series just for Sony (*Cough* FF13 on the 360 and Revolution)
I think the 360 will do far better than the PS3 because it comes out sooner so the impatient people will buy it and have nothing left over for the PS3. Then, Microsoft is releasing Halo 3 on the day the PS3 comes out and gamers will want the good games for their current system rather than buy a new one.
And for the GTA series, remember GTA:SA was pulled off the shelves for the A.O. rating? Who says that won’t happen again? Even some other popular PS2 games like Ratchet and Klank and the Jak series ended on the third installments. The rest of the PS3 games will be crap or for all the systems. The PS3 will have like 2 good (or decent) games, Kill Zone and GTA, I see far better stuff coming from Nintendo even. (Let’s not get into PSP vs. DS)
Nope your all wrong, Sony is the Microsoft of japan. same shit.. by all means xbox 360 will bend the playstation 3 over a bench and bang it in the A**!!!! look at the specs for each systems.
ok halo is a good game i own it but if thats all ur going to like about XB 360 u can buy the pc one because u can play it online ok. now ps3 is way better than xbox ok dont get mad people. but if you like halo too much go get done by it all u little geeks. lol
i have to admit playstaion3 is a good but xbox360 is better and who ever thinks gta is better than halo you are crazy
The charade is very simple im gonna buy BOTH PS3 and XBOX 360 so that i can play the blessed by the gods gta and have some fun with very worse but stil fun halo
I am an xbox fan, but I honestly think PS3 will be the victor here. Halo has honestly become a tiring game, and most people were bummed out after the crappy Halo 2. Most people are moving on to other genres other than first person shooters as well. About the only good game Xbox 360 will have going for it is Elder Scrolls: Obilvion and Gears of War. PS3 is releasing many great titles such as Grand Theft Auto and Killzone 3. Well it doesn’t really matter since I am buying both. However, Xbox is not the winner, PS3 will unfortunately dominate it.
well you all know that the 360 has more under the hood then the ps3 so with that in mind you already know that the xbox 360 will crush the ps3. so know just think of halo3 and the 3cored processores and each one working at 3.2 ghz= a totle of 9.6 killls PS3. halo3 is where it is at and i am the biggest fan of the all powerful MICROSOFT. you all cant mess with windows because all you sony fans know that you love windows and microsoft. so any body buying that shitty ps3 plz i ask of you rethink about it xbox xbox xbox 360 is more powerful……..
So wot if ps3 has better graphice. The graphics arnt that better wot people wont in a console is great storylined games such as halo 1 and 2.Halo 2 has left a great clifhanger for halo 3 so its gona make more people buy xbox 360 with halo 3 instead of crapy games like kill zone 2 with the ps3. I have a xbox 360 and they kick ass but plastion lovers arnt gona care about halo 3 cause there into games like gta and that so i dont think it will make that much of a diffrence if they realese halo 3 at the same day as ps3.HALO 3 WILL BEAT DOWN ALL GAMES FOR ATLEAST A YEAR OR SO!

despite what everyone is saying about xbox 360 being better graphics-wise than PS3 or vise versa we have no idea. They (just like PS2 and xbox) both have their ups and downs. It really boils down to whether or not PS3 can actually meet its hype or not. We know what XBOX 360 has now i am ready to see what PS3 has..
what all u people fail 2 relize is that its all about preference. the war will come down to who has the better games. most of you all will probally buy both. there great “exclusive” games on both systems. halo’s great, gta is great, oblivion is great, yada yada yada… cheese is not a fruit
i LLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUVVVVVVVV halo series but i oso lyk ps3, i tink when halo 3 out, ps3 will slow down becuz halo 3 is cheaper ppl will buy them 1st, den ps3.
I’m thinking halo 3 will have more sales than PS3 at the start…. but in the end i think the PS3 will end up beating halo 3 out…
it really does not matter how many halos come out sony has some of the largest popular franchise i mean little kids will not diss ratchet just cause halo is on 360 so microsoft really will never learm i mean wow it sold good on x box but then microsoft dissed the x box and staeted work on 360 so they are pushing their fans to buy a 360 cause they know thwy cant beat sony and really theur fans do not like what microsoft has done meaning dissing the 360
