Xbox 360 better for gaming than the PS3!! =)

I will first counter some of my opponents arguments and after that i will give some reasons what the ps3 does better than the 360 in terms of gaming "The GPU has more power, more powerful fillrate and more pixels and vertex processing horsepower in an Xbox 360. The vertex shader on a PS3 will run a lot slower than on the Xbox 360, and the Xbox 360 has a new way of rendering high definition anti-aliased back buffers, but to have the same effect on a PS3 would be more expensive, so many games run in a non-HD resolution on the PS3; basically, you have poor image quality on the PS3." The 360 does indeed have a superior GPU, however my opponent seems to be ignoring the other specs that bring out an enjoyable experience for gaming software. The CPU: The two CPU chips run at the same GHz speed, but the PS3's seven individual cores beat out the Xbox's three dual-threaded cores. And in terms of performance measured in gigaflops, the PS3 tops out at nearly three times that of the Xbox. Disc space: While the PS3's disc drive runs somewhat slower than the Xbox's, it does offer the significantly higher storage capacity that comes with Blu-ray. Current PS3 discs have 25 GB to offer, and a new dual layer format is in the works that may increase this number to 33.4 GB. For most gamers, this storage boost will be far more important than read speed. Resolution: While the Xbox's menu screens support 1080p display, Microsoft only requires its games to support 720p. The PS3 features a significant number of games that support 1080p. That's to say nothing of the PS3's support for Blu-ray movies and the growing focus on 3D gaming. Also may i add that the complex cell processor is more of an issue for the developers during 2006. However in 2011 developers have become quite familiar with it and the difference between the image quality of the 360 and ps3 have become small (depending on the games) Also if you look at the exclusives between the two it is clear which ones run more smoothly and have the superior eye candy. Uncharted 3, killzone 3 and god of war 3 are visually almost unbeatable besides gears of war 3. "There are currently 129 EXCLUSIVE games for the Xbox 360 like HALO and roughly around 882 games released; the PS3 has only 109 and a total of 699 games released http://en.wikipedia.org...... http://en.wikipedia.org...... Normally, I wouldn't use wiki, but seemed like a good place to find a total number of exclusive sells." If you go to the articles you can see a quote saying: "This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness" I cannot counter an argument with a flawed source. "Also, the 360 has a better online experience and support than the PS3" From a social standpoint i can easily agree with you. However there is a flaw in XBL that you need to pay for it to be able to acces multiplayer around the globe. Xbox live is the only online gaming service that charges you money per month or year depending on what you prefer. Neither PSN, wii's network nor does all the online services like steam and origins for the PC charge you. The main reason that i am bringing this up is because the topic is that the 360 is a better experience for gaming than the ps3 which must imply that its more accesible for gamers aswell. As PSN is free you have no annoying charges for multiplayer making it more accesible to the average gamer. Now here are 2 reasons why i think the ps3 is the superior system for gaming: 1. Exclusives of todays standard. I think its fair to say that the 360 has more exclusives than the ps3 whenever they are casual, hardcore, popular or niche. But most of them are pretty outdated by now. The 360 has gotten a lack of exclusives lately and especially in 2011-2012. Some exclusive for the ps3 in 2011 include Killzone 3, infamous 2, uncharted 3, rachet and clank all 4 one, littlebigplanet 2, MLB the show, motorstorm apocalypse, resistance 3, yakuza 4, hyperdimension neptunia, SOCOM 4 and bleach: soul ressurection, splinter cell trilogy, ico and shadow collection, sly cooper collection and god of war origins. The 360 has for 2011 gears of war 3, forza 4, the gunstringer, halo anniversary, rise of nightmares. I decided to leave out games like dance central 2 and playstation move heroes for the reason that most "core" gamers aren't really interested in those type of games. 2. disc space I've already mentioned this one in one of my counter arguments but basicly blu-ray has far super storage capacity than DVD and the ps3 takes well advantage off that as with the 360 you require for some games to put multiple disc's. This makes the ps3 version of the game more accesible. I could give more reasons but as the ps3 is a multi media console those reasons are irrelevant to the topic of which is better for gamers. Man this took longer then i expected. Anyway you've given some great points and i wish you good luck on the final round. Looking forward to it.
