    I agree with everything you said, especially about why the Dreamcast fell (SEGA's lack of advertising). Everything, except this:

    This sounds like something a Smash Bros tournament goer would say; that each side needs to be the same for the comparison to be "fair"; this is a contradiction. The point of which one is better is decided by one side being better than the other. Giving them both the same resources makes neither one of them better, it makes them both the same. Making them equal voids the contest.

    I remember I was playing Melee one day during my high school days. Our high school had a video game club after school on Wednesdays, and kids would bring their Xboxes and Gamecubes to play Halo 2 and Melee. An acquaintance of mine was owning everybody on Melee that day with Marth. After they all lost, they said he should play against me and that I'd probably win. So I accepted his challenge and and we played. And then I found out why he kept winning: he insisted on tourney rules (most characters banned, Final Destination only, no items, 3 stock) in order to make everything "balanced" and "fair". I told him that, if he were really that good, he could win regardless of the conditions of the fight. That ticked him off, so in his pride, he excepted anything goes. I picked Samus (I was itching to prove my point) and he picked Marth, we played 5 stock with all items on, and the stage was Onnett; he lost extremely fast. And of course, he threw a fit, because I was being "cheap" by using items and projectiles. So I said we could play tourney rules as long as I could keep Samus, and he agreed. Final Destination, no items, 3 stock. Again, he lost. And again, he blamed it on my cheap playing. Feeling he had been cheated, he stormed off and left for home, after which I explained that the reason he lost wasn't because I was "cheap" but rather because he just sucked.



    Smash Bros' Tourney rules were not made to "level the playing field" and "erase unfair advantages" as they put it, they were made so that people who blow @$$ at the game can feel like they're good at it; in reality, if somebody beats you, they don't do so because they're cheating (unless they are actually using a cheat device like AR) they do so because they are better than you. The same goes for consoles. 360 and PS3 are in the same console generation, they're competing for the same market, so it is a fair comparison. The one with the better stuff is the better system, period. Since the PS3 needs better resources to handle its own format to its fullest, the 360 has that above the PS3. Fairness be damned.

    This quoted post is so full of truthiness and win I am at a loss. Good work.

    ...it's the main reason I'm working hard to develop a new idea for 'professional' or tournament play. The game itself should be the focus, not some fake rules you implement yourself. Its true that some games are inherently unbalanced, but the developers tend to balance those things out over time. And even if they don't, if they are known issues, train tonot be subject to them. I never played Smash because of the tourney types, lol. I love just playing it with super competitive friends of mine that pick games up quickly; it's way more fun, and more of a legitimate challenge.

    And in regards to the systems, I agree that it is fair to compare which is better, but I still think the consoles are so different now that comparing them would only prove a person's preference. Things like Network reliability, Console fidelity, library size/quality, first party games, ergonomic controller...stuff that can be objectively compared, that stuff can be fairly compared IMO.

    All that said, I think it stacks up in 360's favor.

    @Emerald Lance
    what i ment with giving the 360 same resources as you'd give to the ps3 was not to make both consoles be the same...
    but adding these resources to their current status...
    which in the end... the 360 would still win ^-^

    Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs,
    and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
    So far, the Universe is winning.

    Oh, I see. Then please forgive my blunt argument, as it was based entirely on a misinterpretation. Yes, I agree with you, if we list the resources of one, we can't hold a comparison with the other without first listing ITS resources as well. Touché.

    In the specific niche audience each is shooting for, yeah. But for everything else (there's Master Card lol) it be compared fairly and without bias.

    Well, I am new to the website, but as an owner of both systems, I have noticed subtle differences that is kind of changing me from a PS3 fan t a Xbox 360 fan. You have to remember that the PS2 (released in 2000) and Xbox 360 (released in 2005) were fighting each other for about a year or so before the PS3. Then the Xbox 360 had to evolve more to compete with the PS3 and minus a Blu Ray player, the system has. I know I was a heavy gamer of the PS2 (mainly RPGs) I was looking forward to owning a PS3 to try out Final Fantasy XIII. I bought a PS3 with the game about a year ago, and I enjoyed playing it immensely. The PS3 has a stability of not putting a ring around my CDs if I bump my desk on accident. I purchased a XBox 360 this past year and within a month of purchase, I got a ring around one of my CDs. The place I bought it at (Gamestop) would not exchange the system even with a receipt.

    That being said, the Xbox 360 has the best ability of all over the PS3, and that is the ability to edit saves! I was an avid user of the Codebreaker CDs when I played my PS2 and loved having the ability to edit my game either harder or (most often) easier. The PS3, thanks to its ridiculous 128-bit encryption, makes it impossible (at the moment) to edit save files. I hate the system for that reason.

    I purchased both Star Ocean TLH on both systems, and even though the game is the one CD on the PS3 and three CDs on the Xbox 360, I like the 360 version better. The same held true for Final Fantasy XIII.

    BUT, I liked playing Red Dead Redemption on Xbox 360, however, the PS3 version had more weapons (explosive rifle and tomahawks, including their side missions). That was the only real difference I could see between the two games.

    So in my personal opinion, the Xbox 360 is a better system for editing save games and for the most part is a decent system. Neither system has many RPGs like the PS2 had which as a role playing game fanatic, is kind of depressing.

    PS - I have a Nintendo Wii, too, but that system is more for the kids than me...I don't like a game system calling me obese! lmao

    what happened to when people just respected the other consoles and played their preference? I have all of the current gen systems. They all have their faults and their bonuses. Anyone who disagrees that all have their good merits is a fool and a fanboy

    I think it mostly comes done to personal opinion and what your friends have. All the people i know have a xbox so i got a xbox to play online with them.
