Playstation 3 vs. Xbox 360

I have read some pretty bias articles lately on the differences between the Ps 3 and the xbox 360. The Majority of these articles favor the playstation 3 as the Next generation console. Not one of these articles talk about game quality and title availability. They have mostly drooled over the fact that the Ps3 has 7 processors and a 60gb harddrive, so that must make it better. Never once do you read that becuase of those 7 Single layer processors that big game studios have turned Sony exclusive games into xbox 360 games as well. Game titles that include: Final Fantasy XII, Grand Theft Auto IV, Metal Gear Solid IV, Assasains Creed, Guitar Hero II, and the list goes on..
Why are all these ex Sony exlusive titles migrating to the xbox 360? Because Sony has made it so difficult to produce a game for its console that game gepanies like Rockstar will have to sell 500,000 copies of EACH title just to break even on their game.. The next question I would ask is if it is so hard to make games for the ps3 does that give me better graffix? The answer I'm afraid is NO.. Both consoles support 1080p and frankly I dont know any television that can do better than that.. Infact the ps3 only has 256mb of Ram gepared to the 360's 512mb of Ram. I do give the Playstation 3 credit it does have a milionth of a sec. faster load time,but, Frankly I cant see a milonth of a Sec. I can however see the $200.00 price difference and a Milionth of as sec is not worth $200 to me..
Now lets talk about the harddrive size difference.. The playstation 3 does gee with a huge 40gb difference in harddrive size. The reason behind this is Sony has made their games harddrive dependent. What exactly does that mean? Well, it means that a portion of every game you put in your ps3 is copied and saved to your harddrive. With this happening to serious gamers like me my harddrive could fill real quick, so I can see why they added an additonal 40gb of space. The xbox 360 supports a smaller 20 gb harddrive but has no software dependancy on it. Anouther words if you dont let it save it wont..
I have also read an article that stated Sony's online media experience was incredible. gee on now, The 360 has a way better media center. You can download brand new release Hd movies to your console for under $5.00, download your favorite television programs like: Lost, CSI, MTV, Sports games and more. Further more your Ipod or Zune player plugs right into your 360 for optimal streaming of music. You can set up your own sound tracks for all games. Not to mention has the best online game play in history. Now with the release of Microsoft Vista you will be able to play 360 vs the pc. Yes, that is right! When the release of a much anticipated game called shadow run releases you will be able to play it on your pc and take advantage of xbox live from any geputer. You can use either a Keyboard and mouse or plug your 360 controller right into your usb port. They also have created a adapter for your usb port so you can use your wireless controllers. Xbox 360 has monthly tournaments for gamers to gepete for money, has famous actors and other celeberties playing so that you can Q
