Here’s something else interesting:
Tiger Woods PGA tour 07
PS3: 8.3
Xbox 360: 8.5
Need For Speed Carbon
PS3: 7.9
Xbox 360: 8.2
IGN comment:
Visually, the PlayStation 3 version of Need for Speed Carbon falls short of its Xbox 360 counterpart. The two games run at roughly the same framerate, but the PS3’s filtering effects, specifically the blurring, can be ugly.
Call of Duty 3: by Gamespot
PS3: 8.2
Xbox 360: 8.8
“It is missing a couple of features that its Xbox 360 counterpart contains, and the frame rate is far less reliable in this version”
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
PS3: 7.9
Xbox 360: 8.2
IGN comment:
Oh, and just for argument’s sake, we popped in the 360 version of Ultimate Alliance to compare and we have to say… the PS3 edition just isn’t as polished. Comparatively, there’s a lot more framerate stutter with our game compared to theirs (expect hiccups when turning the camera in highly-populated areas) and the colors are deeper and seem to be in better contrast with the 360.

Wow, thanks for putting this up. As always something great to read on your site. Kudos. I just got a wireless headset today and I can’t wait to use it tonight while playing Gears of War. Its charging up here at work with me right now. It looks really good, can’t wait to see how it sounds.

The 1up link goes to kotaku. Love to see PS3 games getting lower scores than their 360 counterparts. I think the “Cell” is DOA as well…

The PS3 a disapointment? There’s a shocker.

Thanks, I have been reading your articles for a while now and finally decided to start talking. All this PS3 stuff is really crazy. People getting robbed all over a console it’s just stupid and wrong.

Yeah it is. I don’t think we’ll be seeing the same sort of stories when it comes to the Wii’s launch on Sunday though.
