Why was there such a big gap between Xbox 360 and PS3's graphics?

Sony were literally tricked into using the Cell processor. As soon as they fell for it everyone else dropped out and they were left with a dogshit architecture as a prank.

>>736242409
What Snoyfags don't know is that Uncharted 2 would've looked better and run better if it had been an Xbox 360 product.
The "Power of the CELL" really just meant "finally getting close to parity with Xbox"

It took non-Sony devs over 5 years to make the most of the PS3. 360 ran anything Unreal-based better the whole generation.

The PS3 used a Geforce 7.

No shit. The 8800GTX was fucking expensive even when Crysis came out in 2008, and the PS3 came out in 2006.
>>
>>736242796
>Crysis came out in 2008
Factually incorrect statement.

The 8800 GTX released days apart from the PS3 at the same price. The comparison couldn't be more apt.

>>736242191
360 had straight out faster GPU and more flexible RAM - shared 512MB of RAM vs 256MB RAM and 256MB VRAM.

On PS3 you could off load some stuff to SPUs, but that was hard to implement. Killzone 2 pretty much blew any 360 and multiplatform console game in terms of photorealism, but that's it.

SPUs were later used for MLAA. What it means is that they used a CPU core for anti aliasing.
So the GPU rendered a frame without anti aliasing, and while the GPU was rendering the next frame, the CPU did anti aliasing on current frame. It added few miliseconds of latency, but was performance free.

Sega has a grudge against Sony because of the PlayStation killing the Dreamcast, so they purposely make their games run worse on Sony systems.

Yakuza was literally Sony exclusive

Maybe but it was really expensive. The PS3 would've cost like 800 usd if it had it.

X360 just had better hardware

Its true that ps3 was weaker on the graphics department and gave lots of headaches to devs, but as a package, the ps triple is a better deal than the 360

lmao no it didn't, go back and compare Killzone 2 to Ace Combat 6

Bayonetta was infamously bad on PS3. MGSV ran the worst on PS3.
>>Better controllers
People were literally modding the controller to fix triggers. I well remember that you could buy those addons even in reputable stores in Eastern Europe.

man this place is full of retards who are stuck in 2007

>>736245972
I agree that bayonetta on ps3 is a dogshit experience, but why would you play MGS V on ps3? This is a ps4 era game. I remember I have played MGSV GZ on ps3, and while the experience was not great, it was not totally shitty either.
>Controllers
Nah man, ps3 controllers are good. Mine still work well to this day. My 360 controller from my dead 360, has stick drift, and a permanently saggy battery case. Also I cant play fighting games with that shitty dpad on it

>>736246467
Are those imaginary Xbots in the room with us right now?

They all transitioned to PS4. PS4 was 360-2, down to paid online
>>
>>736246306
It's just a zoomer thing like having nostalgia for the most dogshit Wii shovelware ever made like Nickelodeon party games
>>
>>736246528
>This is a PS4 era game.
It was fair to play literally any crossgen title on PS3 prior to the release of like Persona 5. PS4 was not a particularly compelling buy for its first 3 years on the market beyond the point of REALLY wanting a new toy or playing Bloodborne. 2017 onwards is when it became something worth owning.
>>
The PS3 ended up with a better library than the 360 and its very funny to use a mediocre game to start this thread with. Also, it took literally over a decade for PS3s to finally start dying. How many 360s did people go through in a year again?

The reality here is that the PS3 was a more competent product overall and was the last bastion of Sony being humbled into (because lord knows they were high on the fumes of the PS2) that we never saw again. The PS3 is still a legit device to own TO THIS DAY because of it being an effective media center that can reliably last for a long time under proper care.

oof

>>736247248
Yeah, I mostly watch pirated anime on it and 00s movies/series nowadays and slowly working the small ps3 library.
There are better options than the ps3 to watch stuff these days, I agree. However, watching stuff on the ps3 is comfy as fuck, because it adds to the early 00s immersion.
For example, Id rather watch a yifi version of Pitch Black on my ps3+ my old shit ass TV monitor combo, than watch it with blu ray quality on my big TV. I know its nostalgia, but I like my ps3 so it is what it is. I might end up buying a mini pc or a Steam machine to watch high quality stuff on my TV, but Im not in a hurry.
Here's a question: Is hacking a ps4 slim worth it? Can it play HEVC video files?

KZ2 wins, bigly.
>>
>>736249110
Nta, but I have finished KZ2 recently, and boy Im done with that piece of shit astroturfed franchise. I have played KZ2, KZ3 and those KZ games on psp and vita, and all of them sucked. How did that franchise go for so long? KZ has a nice sci fi concept, but holly fuck when it comes to execution its as cookie cutter armybro as it can get. Its literally like modern warfare but vs space nazis. Resistance trilogy is miles better, and I hate how sony dropped that ip
>>
>>736249516
We're talking mainly about graphics here.
KZ2 looks great, but it feels ass to play due to input lag, or as they say, the intentional heaviness
