Comparing the Xbox 360 to All those Other Consoles
Gaming console wars have been going on for quite a long time, weather it was Texas Instruments Vs Atari, Nintendo Vs Sega, and Xbox Vs Playstation 2. However a new breed of consoles have started when Microsoft came out with the Xbox 360 taking the next step forward in gaming. This console was said to be a step above anything anyone had seen with the Playstation 2, Nintendo GameCube, or even the regular Xbox.
The Xbox 360 gained all the attention for a year until Sony and Nintendo answered with their own seventh generation consoles which are the Playstation 3 and Wii respectively. This was the time when the console wars really heated up and now gamers are spending more time deciding which console deserves their money savings. It is a tough battle because each console pretty much has their own unique strengths. Here is how the Xbox 360 weights in against the other two consoles.
When comparing the 360 to the Nintendo Wii, there really isn’t a comparison. Just take a look at the graphics from each console at your local gaming store and you’ll see how far ahead the Xbox 360 is in this department. While this may be true, there are similar titles that can be played on both systems, so you ought to compare the controls.
The Xbox 360 controller allows it to be a bit easier to play most games like first person shooters, sports game, or other top Xbox 360 exclusive games. The Wii’s primary selling point to their system is the motion controller’s and while its a good piece of technology, it makes some of the first person shooter games and sports games a bit hard to play.
The Xbox 360 also has more highly-rated titles that are meant for older audiences while the Wii likes to keep their games accessible by people of any age. Some game makers are making special first-person titles that are Wii-exclusive, but it terms of quality of games, the Xbox 360 still ahead of the competition.
The PS3, on the other hand is the Xbox 360′s closer competitor. Both systems are beefed with some impressive system specifications that are responsible for the great graphics that these consoles produce on their connected screens. The PS3 gains an edge over the Xbox 360 with its Blu-ray support, but the Xbox 360 continues to impress with wonderful visuals that are comparable to PC games that have high-end video cards. While many gamers love to debate which console yields out better graphics, it is easy to conclude that the games look alike at a glance.
However, if you’re looking for more exclusive franchises, then the PS3 takes the cake. Then again, if you’re looking for more exclusive titles you’ll want to get a Xbox 360. While we’re unsure of a true winner in this area, we will tell you that the Xbox 360 holds more titles and more positive ratings. So we might want to give them a slight edge over their competition.
In the end you won’t find a concrete answer regarding this debate. While all 3 consoles are unique in their own way, they all give you a great way to enjoy video games. While the Xbox 360 and PS3 continue to battle, the final decision will come from you. The wars aren’t going anywhere, but the Xbox 360 is a powerful system that offers all kinds of benefits and features to the gaming. Maybe you want to take it for a spin.
