Don't be silly, the PS3 was the lead console for Dirt, it's better not only graphically but it has a higher consistent frame rate also, it was made using the PhyreEngine that was developed by 'Sony Computer Entertainment' thats a multi-platform engine (A free one) that takes extra advantage of the PS3 architecture.

Also from "Xbox 360 vs. PS3 Face-Off: Round Five"

"One thing's for sure though, this was one of the rare occasions where the wait for the PlayStation 3 version of the game was worthwhile. Codemasters went to work making some serious optimisations to the code, resulting in an overall driving experience that is markedly superior to the 360 offering. First of all, as has been widely reported, the frame rate - something crucial to the fluidity and response of a driving game - has been significantly improved. While there's still some screen tear and frame drops (especially when other cars are on-screen, and even worse during replays), the actual driving sections look better without the inconsistent update, and the reduced screen tear has a big impact in how solid the game looks. More importantly, the increased refresh rate helps make the controls feel that much more responsive too."

Microsoft is being very silly by trying to start download services as the next big media platform, it's just not going to work. Media is only going more high definition and more lossless clarity - filesizes are going up more than our download and upload speeds are! Massive swathes of the planet are still burdened with abysmal speeds, some still on 56k. It's just not feasible at all, and Microsoft are so naive and ignorant in thinking they have a real chance to replace dvd and blu-ray as the premier formats of choice with download services. There's also the issue of consumer knowledge and ignorance.

agreed. Its crazy. Even if you have broadband...are you on an unlimited bandwith premium package? I aint... im on 40 gig a month limit. How much does one HD film take up?

How can MS offer something that the ISPS arent ready or prepared to deliver?
 
That's not the major problem! They offer their HD download service with fantastic offerings of 2.0 stereo sound!

It doesn't get any better than that people!

thats multi platform though...:confused:

i was saying that there are no ps3 only games that outshine the competition

and only a few multiplatform games that look better on the ps3 than the 360


[sorry if my point was a little mashed up]

So yes the PS3 probably has a lot of untapped power, yes by the time its 10 year life cycle is complete (and we are 3 years into the Xbox 1080) there may be one or 2 games that as near-as-dam-it use all of its potential. But the majority of games never will.

This is why I asked about theoretical peak performance or the general performance the average great game on the system.

So far...

MS are getting ahead of the game much like they did setting up the Live infrastructure with Xbox 1. A huge amount of the comments around downloadable HD content were also levelled at Apple when they first introduced iTunes. Give it 5 years and people will wonder why anyone ever thought it was a good idea to buy films on shiney plastic spinny discs. If MS are sensible they could end up in a market leading position.
 
I think we can all agree that regardless of who out performs who this generation, the competition will make the next generation very exciting :)
 
There've been many developers praising one console or the other, and many games running better on one console or the other. I don't think the words of one more developer about one more game should sway the argument.

Btw... about this RAM thing.. why is it that PC games need at least 2mb to run well when the consoles only need 512 :/

Interesting fact for those that want to kill themselves reading this thread:

The 360 was originally intended to have 256mb of ram like the PS3. Then Epic went and showed MS what they could do with 512mb and that was enough for MS to extend the Raaam. See what I did thar? :D

PC games aren't optimized for specific systems like the consoles and the consoles dont require to run an OS in the background.
