Guys, i have never played any of the consoles before but i do know the hardware aspects of the PS3.
PS3 is one helluva of a hardware.For starters , PS3 is not a product made by Sony only. Its a product resulted due to the combined effort of 3 big companies namely Sony, Toshiba, and IBM.
The soul of the PS3 is the Cell Broadband engine, which contains not one or two processors but 9 processors in it !! ,( 1 Power processors element (PPE) , 8 Synergistic Processor element (SPE) . )
Just imagine, even when Intel and AMD were battling each other with their petty dual core processors way back in 2005, Sony created PS3 in their own style,!!
Coming to the bandwidth , the Cell broadband engine has an enormous bandwidth. Upto 25 GB/s Memory bandwidth and 75 GB /s of I/O bandwidth.( trust me thats one helluva bandwidth)
When you buy PS3 , you don't just buy " yet another console " ... you buy a complete entertainment system
.
So, hardware wise, imo PS3 beats the crap out of Xbox 360. I am not aware of the games of either of them, but from hardware persective thumbs up for PS3.
