#PS3 #Xbox360 #ConsoleWar
Hey everyone! Hope you enjoy this video. I had a great time making this one. Hope you all dig it and thank you so much for all the support. You’re the best.
I learn something about ps and Xbox that they both have there ups and downs so no console wins all about personal preference I like both
I CAN TELL RIGHT AWAY, THIS STUPID NARRATER TALKING SHIT IS A XBOX FAN BOY FUCK YOU MYSTIC
@DefinitionOfDizy we now have ps5
This needs more views and likes. Excellent video
@Accordion TV W
I clicked on this because I tought it was a Scott the Woz video lol
PS2 was life, but I skipped PS3 for Xbox360 . Sony def dropped the ball on PS3 . But then I think Microsoft dropped the ball on the X . I just got a PS five but as there’s not really any next GEN games it’s hard to tell how much I really like it yet
Takes me back to senior year of highschool
for me I like xbox 360 more but the playsation 3 was great as well.
Summer of 2000 I was at a thing at Mt snow in vt and was able to try out the new og Xbox and had no clue no one believed that Microsoft was or had made a console yeah it was pretty crazy
And days after the XBox 360 was released, most of them had died to the red ring death (literally 60% failed in their first year)!
12:18 Good lord that ad is nightmare fuel if I've seen it lol
Only time it was a “console war” was back when the ps3 and xbox360 weren’t the current gen, other than that it’s not even debatable.
The Ps3 and Xbox one are relatable.
Definitely a Xbox fan boi who made this
Did you watch the whole thing? Towards the end this is very pro PS3.
Great video
Going back and play something like Killzone 2 or some other games that got really close in bringing out the full PS3's architecture, and it's amazing. Killzone 2 even on a PS3 as opposed to emulator still holds up really well. At the time in 2009 when I got that game it really felt like you were playing a game from the future.
There are some things in this that can be disputed... Sony always knew Microsoft was a huge threat. They've got deep pockets. Jack Trenton has stated this before in a public interview. Also, Kaz Hirai pushed Mark Cerny to make the PS3's cell architecture what it was. Banking on the idea that developers would take the massive undertaking to understand it, because it's estimated once you do that you can get about 1 TFLOP out of it. Mark Cerny didn't agree with that and urged him to reconsider, and ultimately Sony's decision hurt them more than helped them. Mark Cerny has come out in numerous interviews and lectures about that since. So as far as "Sony doing whatever they wanted" Ehh, that's just not true. They banked on some ideas that fucked them. There was definitely some conscious awareness with the risks.

I guess game companies always have trouble with their 3rd console
If you decide to get a PS3 don't buy the super slim, I have one and the cooling system is horrible. The cooling vent sucks up dust which makes the fan stop working this frying the motherboard
I didn't like most 7th gen games , but the fully loaded back compat PS3 model gave gamers the best console value ever. You got PS1 , + PS2 , + PS3 , + Blu Ray , + *free* online , + an overengineered amount of multimedia connectivity. And for what It's worth at least the hardware was truly a unique design approach , unlike 8th and 9th gen design.
Yoo watching this brings back so many memories wish I had them back
If you don't want to track down the old hardware... series X has 700 or so 360 games backcompat and upscaled to 4K? For PS3 you can either do Sony's PS Now... or you can get a decent gaming PC... PS3 emulation has come a long way.
i like the ps3 better
AYEEEEEEEEE GALEX IS HERRRRRRRREEEEEEEE
I hate Xbox
Im proud to be part of this console war. I was lucky enough to own both ps3 and x360. For me both console are equally good. Nobody won until ps4 came and took a solid lead then never look back.
we dont care about xbox!
Grand theft auto is bad
U sound like Dillon the hacker
I’m in 2021 that means I know what that ps5 looks like
360 miss it
She said xbox 360 weird
God. Damn. Every time I hear or see Halo 3 I get chills. Without a doubt the best game of that generation to me.
Everyone forgets that Sony killed sega
its funny how console war started with PlayStation and Xbox
while the rrod was a real set back for Microsoft. they really stepped up, sure it took them a bit to own up. but when they did they were very classy about it. replacing your console with a new one completely. i am not excusing Microsoft for what they did, it was kind of scummy that they didn't properly test the 360 with stress. and honestly i kinda miss the blade theme, i liked the look and feel of it. as for the kinect, well my nieces and nephews loved it, they played kinectamles like all the time, even got into bowling.
After the 360 the Xbox took a nosedive
30:35 And I still play Portal 2 to this day on my super slim PS3.
12:40 that baby was creepy. what was Sony smoking when they came up with that
You may not see this but I really needed something great to watch to take my mind of something personal in my life. The effort is appreciated! You really distracted me from my own bs at times there. Also brought back some memories as i used to be a heavy gamer, both literally and figuratively.
I was depressed after my account got hacked, took the intervention of my uncle, he helped me hire a professional recovery hacker on Instagram called Dreyhacks_. He asked for my old login details and after a while he got me access back to my hacked account, I see people talking about hacked account and I wish they knew of people like this who are out there helping....
I have both but I like Xbox more
The heck is that boomerang controller? Im glad they went Dualshock 3. It's a wireless PS2 controller with slight tweaks, but at least it isn't buttugly like THAT.
the boomerang controller would've felt more comfortable tho
So many better PS games didn't make the list, disappointing tbh.
Real ones transitioned from 360 to ps4 then ps5
This has got to be the most legendary rivalry in gaming ever, and this will never be forgotten
dang i remembered that psn hacker breach thing. It was pretty sad and freaky as a kid.
I’ve always been team Xbox it’s a special console to me. I had a ps4 it was nice but definitely something I won’t buy again. Uncharted was an amazing glad I gave it a try
People think that rag tag ps3 was better than that red ring o-death garbage disposal? They both were good now they ass.
the xbox 360 sold more in america than the ps3 did

I CAN TELL RIGHT AWAY, THIS STUPID NARRATER TALKING SHIT IS A XBOX FAN BOY FUCK YOU MYSTIC
Lol what? Mystic was one of the first channels on YT that focused on PlayStation without official backing from Sony. I've been on PlayStation since 1997, Mystic is team PlayStation, but a gaming fan as opposed to a fanboy.
XBOX IS FOR BOYS PLAYSTATION FOR MAN
IM 45 YEARS OLD AND PROUDLY A GAMER I HAVE TO SAY, SONY IS THE BEST THERE IS, THE BEST THERE WAS, THE BEST THERE WILL EVER BE
I agree, the world of gaming would be quite different without PlayStation.
WARNING: If you set the comments to, "Newest first", you will find a cesspool of bickering fanboys. YOU. HAVE. BEEN. ADVISED.
This sums up what went wrong for xbox 1 and a problem for series x. They took the ps3 approach, all about power and not a bout fun
Who won
Imagine paying the price of a ps5 for a ps3.
Pretty much like 20 PS3 consoles
Yeah, to think that we got much more capable console for the same price as base PS3 (and don't forget to calculate inflation!) is insane to think about it
Playstation offcourse :-) Ps2 the best sold console ever and every consoles sells better from Sony... :-) the games are better btw also
No ones talking about the fact that the ps3 had 20 gb of space. That’s like being able to only download rocket league
2000s equavilent of snes vs genesis.
7:50 of the video is him going on about how they partnered with rockstar now sony and rockstar are partnered together for the ps5 and gta5
Ive had both consoles and tho the ps3 was very pricey but ive had problem, after problem , after problem with my xbox and ive had such ease with the PS3 therefore it's no contest, the PS3 was just simply better
Why did ps3 need 3 ethernet ports?
I think ps3 beat xbox 360 hands down.
Shit
SO Team PS or Team Xbox amzn.to/3hUpjAZ
This brings memories
Xbox 360 was good but almost a disaster. PS3 was developed but the price was too great
Playstation all the way✌✌✌✌
I'm xbox fan and i believe xbox came on the right time for to beat the arrogance of Sony's and make them realize of what they need to focus to stay on the market.
This is like a milestone. The way that this company battled with one another and head to head and focus on one thing which is on game.
The 360 took a shit on the ps3..I was always a Playstation fan before then..I skipped the ps3 and ps4 in favor of the 360 and the one..I have a series x now..but I will be getting a ps5 also because its looking good and I can play all the ps4 games I've never played on it also
♥️♥️
Who else Remembers when we thought cod black ops had amazing graphics?😂😂
I remember being in prison watching tv and this came across the news channel and like 50 of use was standing in front of the TV.
Console differences aside, let's focus on the main technological contribution that these consoles gave us: high-definition. I'd also like to make a statement: I feel like the best way to experience original high-definition is with a CRT TV, not a digital LCD TV. Think about it: HD was originally designed around 1080i, not 1080p. I personally made the mistake of using my 7th-gen console (an Xbox 360 S) with a digital TV at 1080p. Only later, when I tried using it at 720p (which is still HD-ready, since it still uses the same 75 MHz digital bandwidth as 1080i) on a smaller 720p TV, did I realize how much I missed out on. The overall quality of games looked better, not worse when used in the proper HD-ready video format. Also, both consoles were capable of a component video connection. This connection is designed for HD-ready video, not just 480p. So the best way to use a 7th-gen console is with a 1080i capable CRT over a component connection.
4:00 My girlfriend went over to her boss's house to try out some games on his PS3...that's strange...the PS3...has no games!
Play stations garbage
Am I the only one that likes both playstation and Xbox?
Got a 360, and loved playing halo reach and minecraft (still do) I grew up on Nintendo 64. It makes me sad that people don't play multiplayer games on 360 anymore.
@Grá lóiséas I think there are still people on mw2 mw3 was dead last time but gohsts still a good 500 people daily online
@arron batchvarov I don't got ghosts i have halo reach/3 and MW1,2,3
I'm playing cod gohsts on 360 atm Derpy Hooves 0o gamer tag if you wanna play let's do it
Just wanted to let all of you no the Xbox 360 didn't come out in 2017 it came out in 2010 and also PS3 came out in 2007
The PS4 vs Xbox 1 video will be simple. Sony makes and sells PS4s like cold drinks on a hot day. I think Microsoft has something too, I heard someone briefly mentioning it once.
In my opinion xbox boot ups looked way more interesting than playstaytions except the ps5 boot up that looks more interesting than the series x
0:45 that was 2001 not 2000
I would say the PS3 is better, but we all play on what we want, neither will make us bad.
Ah good time, people really hated each other back then
People who got a series for Christmas 👇
The ps4
playstation is trash
I always. Thought the red ring. Of death was when a girl got some nasty vaginal virus
Ah, I miss getting those Xbox Live Voicemails “I’m gonna kill you!” “You should die!” Ah the Halo 3 days
Me too mate
The little kids try to carry this "war" on but its been over for a long time. Let our wounded heal and our fallen rest. 😇
I sat and watched this all in one go, nice vid
I remember that for some reason in my school was that most people had ps3 instead of Xbox 360
I spent the whole summer of 2008 mowing my parents lawn and saving up to buy a 20gb hard drive 😂😂😂 Now Terabytes are apparently a thing
This Doc is so bias and lacking knowledge...lol Playstation has always owned Xsht ..lol get out of here
At school if you had a play station you were the rich kid and if you had an Xbox you were a hardcore gamer
I’m casually watching this while playing my 3ds
Well Nintendo won so......
At least Xbox is made in America
But PlayStation is the kind of company to get out in front and say they won
The die-hard PlayStation fanatics would *constantly* highlight the cost of Xbox LIVE as a negative in spite of any and all objective reasoning presented. When Sony started charging for PlayStation Plus, those same fanatics were dead silent.
At 9:05 can anyone tell me the name of the beat or the name of a video the beat is on
