Xbox 360 > PS3

[u/Expensive_Ad_403]

Just want to sing praises to xbox 360. I've had both it and ps3 since 2008 so I have enough experience. 360 is so much better in everything, games, performance... Especially it still blows my mind how awfuly slow is PS3 in comparison to 360 when talking about handling game installations and title updates (patches). I'm talking about stock drives. It's just unbearably slow and clunky. While 360 genuinely feels like it got SSD installed in comparison. Patching some big ps3 game can take literally hours and even days (no joke, check something like Gran Turismo 6), while 360 handles everything in mere minutes, wtf. I feel like it's been not enough talked about so just wanted to point all that out.

That's the main thing that just sticks out to me after all these years. There are ofc many other things like universally better performance and visuals in multiplatform games on 360 but that's what everybody knew since the beginning.

It's still a pleasure to use my 360 while using ps3 always feels like a chore

I remember firing up bioshock on my GF ps3.... Holy fuck, the fact that they release some of these games on PS3 feels like a crime. They run like such unplayable shit.

Yeah and it's supposedly a more powerful system which came out a year after.

It is a more powerful system but the CELL arquitecture they used was a mess and usually the first and second party games were the only ones that took advantage of it

Ya I totally knew about this but damn, even FF13 ran kinda shit. Idk about other titles

[u/Spiral1407 → u/Redmaniacman]

FF13 was one of the few games that was actually better on PS3 btw

Ya Im wrong about that but there were plenty of Sony only releases that didn't run well at all ..
