Another major innovation of the PS3 was that it housed a Blu-ray disc drive, ushering in a new standard for distributing games physically. See, Blu-ray is an optical disc format that can store more than 5 times the data of DVD discs, seemingly breaking the limitations developers have when it comes to how big their games could be.
Naturally, the PS3 also doubled as a Blu-ray player for movies, which when combined with the ability to download video-streaming apps and play media files from an external drive, makes it an all-in-one entertainment device. Thankfully, they were eventually added through updates more than a year after it first launched. All PS3 owners will likely agree they loved being able to play online multiplayer without having to pay a single cent.
Unlike the PS4, where that function is locked behind a PlayStation Plus membership, PS3 players could play the online multiplayer modes of their favorite games regardless if they were a member or not. So in this aspect, I say the PS3 wins. Despite being products of their time, the two consoles were built on different design philosophies that heavily influenced how they turned out and how they were received.
The PS3 was an ambitious outing for Sony, who threw everything but the kitchen sink in making it the most cutting-edge system in the yard at that time. The PS4, on the other hand, saw the company go back to the basics, keeping it simple and focusing on the one thing consumers bought these boxes for: the games.
If we're thinking about boldness, the PS3 may have an edge with its attempted innovations. The PS4, as expected from a successor, polished those innovations, and so overall, the PS4 may be a whole lot more consumer-friendly.
T he fact that the PS3 and Xbox console generation was notorious for not being that sturdy also gives the PS4 more points. Our experiences of the 2 consoles vary, but all I can say is the PS5 has some big shoes to fill, and a quite a legacy to live up to. Of course, the PS4 and Xbox One are pretty much at parity now with these sorts of features, but in the last console generation, the Xbox definitely had the upper hand when it came to interacting with the people on your friends list.
While the PS4 may have the Xbox One beat in terms of aesthetics this generation, the Xbox had the edge in this department over the PS3. Even the Xbox Store had a much better layout than the PlayStation Store, which generally suffered from requiring too many steps to get to the content you wanted.
A relatively minor advantage, but an advantage all the same, the Xbox allowed users to change their Xbox Live Gamertag name for a fee , a feature that the PS3 did not have. Hilariously, this is something that actually continued into the next generation, as the Xbox One still allows users to change their name while the PS4 does not.
Lacking the haptic feedback features of the DualShock 2 and featuring a pair of triggers that left much to be desired they could even pinch your fingers! First-party series such as Halo and Gears of War ensured that the had an active line-up of competitive shooters.
Although the PS3 is technically more powerful than the Xbox , in most cases, the received superior versions of multiplatform games. This meant that the version was often the objectively better version of the game, as these ports had better frame rates and overall stability. One need only look at the difference between the Xbox and PS3 versions of Bethesda games such as Fallout 3 and Skyrim to see how inferior PS3 ports could get.
The slim PS3 has cheaper-feeling plastic on the outside. There is no expiration date. It depends on a lot of factors. Primarily how well you take care of it and luck. I still have a launch 60Gb that hasnt had any major issues. A key improvement with the PS3 slim is the improved power consumption due to the 45nm cell processor.
The PS3 slim consumes at about half the rate of the original PS3. Another change is the bigger hard drive. You would think original last gen systems would be smaller than the PS4 launch model. And usually next gen systems like PS4 would start bigger because of the complexity of graphics and heat they give off. Although the PS3 is technically more powerful than the Xbox , in most cases, the received superior versions of multiplatform games. The biggest difference is obviously going to be that of the physical platform.
You can expect to see a better quality of picture on the PlayStation 4 , with less loading time. Sony provide a video comparison of the two versions on their blog. Apart from that, the PlayStation 4 version offers extra features. This warranty is valid only in the United States and Canada.
The last generation, lasting well over seven years, was the real outlier, but it now looks like part of a trend.
