Which console is better PS3 or PC ?

In terms of value for money and quality of gaming, i would say PS3.

Technically a PC isnt a console. This being said, if you are just using it for games. I would suggest the PS3. I recommend this because you know that all games that have the PS3 logo can be played on your system. If you go PC, then you have to stop and check to make sure your system will play the game. If not, you have to buy more upgrades for the PC just to play the games you want. Also, with the PS3 you get a Blu-Ray player.

A pc is not a console.

And even a $5000 pc with an nvidia gtx 280 video card is not as good a gaming machine as a ps3.

PC games have no supporting market so there aren't very many good games made for them. And even the top ones, crysis, counterstrike, and so on, they are basically just upgrades of the shooter genre. They have to be designed to be playable on a wide range of pc's. If they were made to work only with direct x 10 and a quad-core cpu, there wouldn't be enough people to buy them and they'd lose money.

Because they have to design for the lowest common denominator, they can't spend many resources taking advantage of the capabilities of the best pc's. All they do is give you extra eye candy for when your pc can handle the highest settings.

The ps3 on the other hand is a uniform platform. Developers don't have to worry about making their game work on everybody's ps3. If it works on one, it works on all of them. So they're free to push every bit of its hardware to the limit. They also know that with over 20 million ps3's out there, their games will sell, and they can put a $60 price tag on them too. PC games can't get away with a default retail of $60, there's not enough buyers. So developers work harder at making the game.

PC's have higher potential in their gpu's, but the gpu's have gotten so far ahead of software it's ridiculous. HD video games have already got so much eye candy, even with opengl and geforce 7 series, that you can't look at everything on the screen at any instant, or even 10 percent of it. It's to the point where making "better graphics" isn't even noticeable, unless you hit pause and carefully count all the effects and stuff on the screen. There's no more return on the investment of "better graphics." And that's with software for direct x 9/geforce 7 and 8 cards. Their potential has yet to be maxed out but it's already clear that their performance is so good that any better performance is hard to notice. So, there's not really any benefit to having a geforce 9 or gtx, unless you want to capture video or impress a pc nerd. Most people have better things to do than impress a pc nerd.

The cpu and system performance of pc's doesn't exceed ps3. There are no pc's with a Cell engine. PC's run dual and quad-core cpu's, which are multi-threaded but lack the high bandwidth and extreme memory speed of the ps3's Cell/xddram combo. PC cores are designed for running lots of applications at once. PS3 is designed for running mainly one thing, and running it fast. The only way it multitasks is for the application's designer to break it down into different parts and give each part to one of the ps3's processors. This is extremely efficient. The ps3 also has xddram, which runs on the same clock cycle of 3.2ghz as the cpu does. You don't find that in many pc's, instead you find lots of slow ram, more than necessary.

If your pc runs Microsoft garbage, at least 2gb of that slow ram is reserved for the OS and interferes with the game.

The ps3 is basically designed for one thing, the task of running a 3d game engine at blazing speed and smoothly. The high-bandwidth cpu and xddram are perfect for that. You don't need high memory for a 3d game; you need algorithms that take the data from one frame, crunch it into the data for the next frame, at which point it can just forget the data for the previous frame. The ps3 is brilliantly efficient at this, particularly for the exclusives. PC's are not efficient at all, unless you install xddram, banish windows from the system, and then alter and recompile the games to make them take advantage of the faster memory.

A good PC is better than any console, but tend to be more expensive. If you're not willing to spend thousands of dollars/pounds on a PC decent enough to run modern games, then a PS3 is better.

PC Any day. but cost of a mean pc that can play all PS3 games wud be

twice the cost of ps3

they can't be fairly voted on . PC will always be the same maybe just a few updates or new design in new one. PS3 wont always be around they will make a PS4

PS3 is built specifically for games, with a friends system and bluetooth chatrooms, yada yada yada. PC also will cost you some money to keep up with the upgrades youll need.

Rock band alone is worth getting a ps3

Ps3 becuse on PC you have to get new graphics cards for example..
