LEFT OR RIGHT???

In my opinion they cannot be the exactly the same cuz they are 2 different consoles and 2 different companies. If they were the same we wouldnt need both.

I disagree with your statement. First off, you don't need both consoles($ony & M$) as it seems 90% of new releases come out for 360 and PS3 at the same time.

Second

The hardware may be different but the code is virtually the same. It is the compiler that makes it so that the console understands the code. There may be some console specific tweaks in the code but nothing major.

As for the graphics anomalies...

I have followed these comparisons for a few years now and it seems $ony always looses in the graphics department. Sorry P$3 fans but the truth is the truth.

thank you, speaking sense.

Yall both said the same thing tho? Tyler said if they were the same you wouldnt need both and you said you dont need both...

ok i am going to say it again you two. If they were "exactly" the same we wouldnt need both. now wen i say need both PS3 has exclusives and Xbox has exclusive's , if you wanted a built in web browser you need PS3, if you want live you need 360. So if you want the system perks of each PS3 and Xbox you "need" both, since they arent exactly the same.

To me it seems like from graphics comparisons that the PS3 usually has darker screens.
And multiplatform games almost always look better on the 360. Since the games are ported I suspect some quality is dropped.

Though, in the exclusive category the PS3 has an edge.

Being a coder myself, I think I can help with the graphics problem. Yes, the code is nearly identical when it comes to PS3 and 360 games even if one is ported to the other. They are exactly the same code-wise. The difference in how you seem them is how the console interprets them.
Whenever someone programs something for the Wii in LUA, you can take that exact code and put it on the PSP or PC. Now, the way the interpreters of the other consoles read the code, they may find that the color Green is different on each console. It may be (255,0,255) on the Wii but on the PSP it could be something like (244,1,244). It makes nearly no difference when you see it but think about the millions of colors that are on the 360 and PS3 screen- It makes quite a contrast when you compare them.
