Are the PS3's graphics better than xbox 360?

Answer 1

Well I have played both games and done some research and the ps3 graphics are alot faster and much more clear than the Xbox 360. My information to back this up is i am a game tester and researcher. Also what I know about the XBox is that it went the same way as Wii did and attempted to put yourself in the game. Wii was also going to make a fully new system called "attached" so not to start and problems but XBox needs to start going it's own way like the ps3 and Wii.

1. Yes, though in most games the graphics are the same. Although the graphics are a lot better when the game has been developed with a big budget and lots of experienced programmers who are capable of writing in the PS3's suited style. Then the graphics are tremendously better and will out perform the Xbox hands down, but this obviously comes with a price and most developers go for the Xbox (more games as you have noticed) as it is cheaper easier and quicker to create them using C# SDK which is provided by Microsoft.

If more big games were made for PS3 then the argument would be put to rest once and for all but as long as Xbox 360 has its easy quick cheap way then the argument still stands. Rumor has it the Xbox 360 has been maxed out since 2007, where as PS3 still has plenty of space for improvement meaning the PS3 will be going strong well after Xbox 2 or Xbox 720 is released.

Another big plus is PS3 has a capacity of 50Gb on Blu-Ray discs but is capable of the newer more experimental 100Gb which means more room for game graphics and physics and inevitably this will lead to PS3 being the leader probably until 2011, 2012 or onwards as Xbox's DVD9 has a capacity of around 9Gb and developers are actually complaining that no progress can be made as there is not enough room, so graphics or game length has to be reduced.

Keep in mind this answer is ONLY based on graphics not the entire experience of owning either console.

2. Playstation 3 utilizes Blu-Ray, which is superior to HD. Thus, it has better graphics capabilities.

3. But the graphics engine on the X-box 360 is way superior than the one in the PS3. The GPU is more powerful, it has more powerful fillrate, and far more pixel and vertex processing horsepower. I won't get into details but the same vertex shader will run much slower on the PS3 than the Xbox 360. The 360 also has a clever new way rendering high definition anti aliased back buffers.

To accomplish the same effect on PS3 is prohibitively expensive. For this reason, many games will have no choice but to run in non-HD resolutions on the PS3 version, use a lower quality anti aliasing technique, or do back buffer upscaling. The end result in all cases is going to be noticeably worse image quality.

So, all-in-all, the Xbox beats the PS3 when it comes to graphics.

4. Yes! Look on YouTube for the difference in games, PS3 has better graphics.

Answer 3

The PlayStation 3's graphics are obviously superior. The games are Blu-Ray enabled. For those of you not keeping track, Blu-Ray is the best way to watch movies, shows and to play games. Red Dead Redemption looks absolutely breathtaking with it...

I'm a big fan of Sony products and like the PS3 and feel the graphics are better. However Red Dead Redemption for PS3 is 640P and it is 720P for the Xbox. It could be that on this game the graphics are better on the Xbox 360. My information is from the Wikipedia Red Dead Redemption and is provided as a related link. Blue-Ray disc are capable of 1080P resolution and the PS3 may upscale the games like they do DVD movies, but I could not find confirmation of this. What I could find was a demonstration on the difference on the graphics between the PS3 and Xbox 360 for the Game Red Dead Redemption and have also added that as a related link.

The PS3 has a better hardware preformance. (8 cores)

However because the games usually get produces as Xbox 360 games and then ported to PS3 (altough release dates might be the same) the graphic can be reduced.

only a rare amount of games take the full potential of the PS3 (Uncharted 2 for example)
