It's odd how whenever Scott brings up this war, he never mentions Minecraft being exclusive to the Xbox 360 for a long time. That sold incredibly well and opened the 360 to a new audience that would buy the console solely for Minecraft. It was the easiest way to play private multiplayer worlds with voice chat and easy inviting. Minecraft was huge for the 360's sales. It also helped massively with Minecraft's success and its eventually purchase by Microsoft
It's funny to see how many similarities there are between Gen7 and Gen9; futuristic design, strategic pricing on Microsoft's part based on the (leaked) price of the PS5, etc.
I remember as a kid in Australia the PS3 was nearly $1000 on release, even as an 8 year old with barely any concept of money I knew better than to ask my mum to pay that insane price
You forgot something very important. Something that made me hate myself for chosing a 360 and envying PS3 owners: Disc count. I still recall the game that scarred me for life: Star Ocean 4. You had to switch discs once you got to the end game and wanted to back track to a city in the beginning of the game. If you were achievement hunting, then you constantly were teleporting between the last area of the game and a city on disc 1. And every time.... you had to get up and change disc. And then it came to PS3... on a single disc
The only had a fire multi disc games for the 360, those being Wolfenstin the New Order and FFXIII. I didn’t have an XOne or a PS4 at the time so I had to settle for that. It was stupid and turned me off from going for all the achievements for both games. And Wolfenstein. actually looked really good on the the 360 but when I played it on the One it looked even better
This looks like a joke comment but a buddy of mine actually did leave his PS3 running Uncharted overnight while he slept next to it in his cold dorm room Warmth and white noise for only five hundred and ninety-nine US dollars
Nowadays, both the Series X and PS5 spit out so much heat that they should be classified as small space heaters. Good for wintery climates but bad if you live in a hotter environment
Yepperz, brings back memories. Whilst the first iteration of the 360 had worse reliability problems (RROD), people tend to forget the first iteration of the PS3 was not far behind - I had two die in the first 18 months.
@@GabrielIgnacio Yeah but that's the thing, they spit the heat out. They don't really heat themselves. At least my series x doesn't. Though if you put your hand on those holes - hoo boy
@@gangsterfish3247 That's not the point. With that logic, the PS3 sold 3.4 million more so THIS video is pointless. The whole point is to showcase the battle because it is an interesting part of video game history. If anything, the DS vs the PSP is even more interesting because while existing in the same generation, they tackled it in a completely different way.
The 360 technically had a more powerful GPU, but a weaker CPU, so that's why third-party games looked better and PS3 exclusives took advantage of the cell to supplement its GPU.
i believe the ps3 had quite better processing power overall but the apu's architecture was too advanced for the time, so game developers couldn't really optimize for it the best. Some developers though like Naughty Dog learned how to optimize for it and made some beautiful games like Last of Us. The government even implemented tons of PS3's into a supercomputer at one point because linux was able to be installed and they had so much processing power for the time
@@Aftenarkou can overclock gpus and cpus, which one are you referring to. pc games can care about either more depending on the game. games with complex simulations like flight sim, cities skylines and civ care more about cpu. most other games care about the gpu more
It's one of those things that's so bad it's good. There are some games that make for a fun afternoon. Granted you'll never play them again. But oh boy that one afternoon will be kinda fun
A big part of the online component was the ability to start parties on XBL that PS3 did not have for a long time. So if you and your friends were playing different games you could still talk to each other. Basically, as soon as you got on Xbox you joined a party or started one.
Also I don't know why the PS community is not used to play MP games, and hang out in chat like the Xbox players. I made so many friend in the Xbox 360 games and I still talk to them today, now I have a PS4 and I still didn't make a single friend. Guess it's a cultural thing? PlayStation players like single player, I guess
@@douglas4934 Nah it was the exact same on the xb1 when I used to play it more. I just think people don't wanna roll the dice on having to talk to annoying people in open lobbies anymore. Half the reason why I sit in parties even if I'm by myself in multiplayer games is because you have to mute like 50% of the people that have a mic, for a variety of reasons (potty mouth 12 year olds, guy sitting too close to the tv, music in the background etc.)
@@douglas4934 In my experience it's because the really annoying online players are enough to make me tune out everyone else. But all online lobbies are annoying so idk why XB fans were able to push through it and PS3 fans not. It may have also been a thing of less consoles sold at the start and thus less friends to play with, and less people online in general, choking out a community from growing before it could even begin.
@@noti7510 the joke in the video was that the nintendo wii was so far ahead of both the PS3 and the 360 that people dont really count it, the DS was not part of it
Just realized he was actually talking about the DS. The Wii also just so happened to whoop its competition’s ass. The PS2 is the best selling console ever with 155 Million sold. But riiiiiight behind that is the Nintendo DS with 154 Million of them sold.
The Banana Melon No, he was talking about the Wii. It was being blacked out when he said the runaway success line, and then went like "the other two are portable systems" when the DS and PSP were shown.
I started with a PS3 at 12, then played on a 360 throughout highschool. Now in college I’m still playing on my PS3. Still love them both, honestly my favorite era of consoles. That and my first PS3 games were the Arkham Asylum and City Bundle.
@bigevilworldwide1 bruh I know you're probably joking but everybody dislikes this game for it's story. Hell, even the people that like it admit the story isn't very good.
Remember when it was "You had console but friends either didn't, were on a separate console, or were on a different console generation"? Now it's "You got a console but all your friends are one by one slowly moving to PC and the games you play aren't crossplayable". Then you get a PC and realize the games you wanted to play are now dead and your friends don't remember you
Lol, that last part made me laugh but also bad me cry because Mario Party 9 was the biggest thing in my childhood. Because back then I did not know that Mario Party 9 was shit.
The 360E will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the first console I ever *owned* properly, and despite it being a bit chonk, People made friends with me for the sole purpose of coming round after school to look at it and play on it.
Sony reused move controllers to save on cost. Psvr is fun and all but is a very cheap jump into vr as if sony only used it to test the waters. Edit:I dont play my vr anymore just because of the controllers. Sony needs to change em cuz psvr is really fun and it's just held down by bad controllers.
I remember buying a Wii shortly after getting my PS3 and actually having more fun with it with games like Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy and RE4 Wii edition, then the PS3 really picked up with great games and I essentially left the Wii scene behind. I mean, the Wii was great for the occasional casual session, but the PS3 was my go to system for serious gaming from then on.
@@darthkai8242 he didnt say whether it was a surprise or not, he told you why it sold so well, I even got a Wii years before a ps3 for my b'day because it was way cheaper. Kids got it cause it was kid friendly, and also it has great mascots like Mario that almost any parent knows by now.
1:32 I love how Scott actually put the Genesis and SNES on the consoles that correspond to their sales ranking. 1st - SNES (4th Gen) & PS3 (7th Gen) 2nd - Genesis (4th Gen) & 360 (7th Gen)
I have a few gamecube controller extension cables just for this purpose, and even getting it around coffee tables, because it's nice to have six feet of extra cable so everything can lay flat and no tugging at the console or tripping happens, also can be used when getting a larger tv and having to sit farther away from the scene.
I was always the kid who avoided the question. "Which do you think is better?" "I have an xbox 360." "You think xbox is better?!" "No, I have one." I never mentioned that I had nearly every single nintendo console at the time.
Was honesty surprised when I found out it was a tight competition in most of the world. Nearly everyone I knew had an Xbox 360 and I still see a ton of games out in thrift stores while PS3 is a bit of rareity. Same with the N64
as a ps3 owner myself, i actually agree. everyone i knew in school clowned on me because they all had 360s… i was very happy when i later heard sony technically outsold microsoft that generation lol
It’s probably because Xbox had the dominance for most of the gen and PlayStation did a bit of a burst halfway through to catch up and then overtake them. I know a lot of friends I had with 360s who when late gen came around were desperate for metal gear, god of war, ratchet and clank, uncharted, infamous, etc… and a bunch of them did end up getting a ps3 as well because of that
As someone who lived in the former Soviet Union I can safely say that I've never met a person who owned an Xbox. Tbh I didn't even know it existed until I discovered youtube. But you can bet your ass everyone had a ps or a dusty old sega lying around The thing is I doubt xbox was much popular outside the Anglo sphere. It still very much behind playstation here even today, prolly because of its US-centric advertisement
The real issue is that Microsoft has never had much international success with the Xbox consoles. As far as I can tell, the only countries out of the US that really bought any Xbox 360s were the UK and our North American neighbors. Even now that I've graduated college, I've only ever met a single person that has ever owned a PS3. The 360 had a stranglehold over a large portion of the US
3:29 Being 10 when the PS2 came out, i remember a vast majority of people who didnt game since the NES (or at all) bought the PS2 JUST because it was a relatively cheap DVD player. It was the same thought behind the PS3 being the cheapest BluRay Player.
very true. grew up in a rural area, and most of the time a family bought a PS2 to sit hooked up in the living room to the shared tv. If the kids happened to have their own gaming console, it was either an older gen system or an xbox 360 with a crt in their bedroom where they would actually play with their friends.
PS3 is also a DVD player. I remember using it back in the day to watch movies. It was very comfortable to use the Dualshock instead of a TV remote control. And it had a very great UI for disk movies.
@@starfireseraphim9696 Well hello, not going to take it as a dig, but I make videos on voice acting, not the most popular thing, but found a audience lol
Several things to add to the controller section. There's two different 360 controllers. The wireless model mentioned, but also a hardwired USB model with no wireless. The wireless model is only wireless even with the Play&Charge Kit. Which while USB-A on one end connects to the controller via a proprietary connection. Now non-detachable and proprietary cables weren't a big deal then. However meanwhile the PS3 made standard a controller that worked both wired and wireless with a regular USB port. (And in their and Nintendo's case using standard BT for wireless not a proprietary signal. Yes the most recent Xbox controllers also support BT.)
On top of the controller using AAs, there was no way to turn it off, the only way was to de attach the battery case, which in my case eventually broke off
@@Coolman13355the xbox series x/s controller has a usb c port (xbox one instead has a micro usb port) that you could plug into the console and play without batteries
0:07 I'm still amazed at how well Scott can just pull off wild ass jokes like these in the first 10-20 seconds of every video and still come up with more ideas. The way he whipped that book out of nowhere has the same energy as Sakurai pulling out that slinky just to show that the arms in ARMS can extend.
I've had all 3 playstation designs and i couldnt have been happier, little big planet was literally my childhood and not paying for online was kinda huge for a 12 year old
Minion_Bazz Mario Party 9 and Super Paper Mario I both liked because they both were the first ones in the series I played and I like them even though many people hate their features.

Meanwhile scott collects all these games in mint condition, amiibos and everything and hasnt beaten any of them lol. Hes never beaten a zelda game but have all of dem bruh
I find it funny how the example of freezing and issues he used was (in my experience) the second most issue ridden game on the PS3, Gran Turismo 6. I've had that game since before the online service went out two years ago, but only just recently began playing it because I never managed to get it to start up adequately. the most issue ridden game on the PS3 to my knowledge is Little Big Planet 3.
Numbers of exclusives doesn't matter as much as quality. There's a reason Xbox is still on the map with just 3 memorable exclusives... Halo, GoW and Forza. They were the best exclusives ever on any platform, like c'mon... Halo 3? No platform since has had such a smash hit.
5:30 The cell processor is very hard to use since it's effectively like having 7 processors that all need to work in sync. You need to distribute the calculations among all 7 and if any get's out of sync the game will crash. Many just didn't want to go through the hassle of optimizing it to use all 7 at once and just used 1 or 2.
@@scratchsoft2347 It was actually even worse for the Saturn. The Cell processor was still a single unit with the same data lines and there was a lot of support. Getting all of them in sync and at full efficiency was really tough especially with only 2 data lanes but there was help. It was kind of like having an 8 core CPU but without all the build in help that CPU's have nowadays. The Cell Architecture though was more versatile as it actually was able to handle graphical data just as easily. It could handle anything the main processor or GPU's had issues with. It was quite a clever system but hard to really use to it's full power. The Saturn had 2 entirely separate CPU's. Not only had they entirely separate data lanes but they didn't even have the same clockspeed with one at 3.1Mhz and the other at 3.3mhz. The PS1 just had one processor at 3.2mhz and the N64 was 9.1mhz (Yes, really.). Getting the two CPU's to share a task was borderline impossible so most Saturn games combine 2D and 3D so that each can do something different and they don't have to be in sync.
@@Lucy-pp6ru This was before multi-core architecture became something that was even used on PC with AMD's Athlon 64 X2 and the 800 series of Pentium CPUs with Intel.
Also keep in mind, most consoles didn’t use anything really too awful similar to the processors we use now in PCs. Sometimes consoles would use something of that sort, like the GameCube and Wii used PowerPC processors, but most of them were either custom or other processor companies would help make them.
The 360's biggest advantage from the beginning was achievements and online capabilities. Sony didn't initially have trophies, and it can NOT be overstated how much of a thing that was at the time. That was a HUGE thing at the start. And Sony's initial online strategy was a mess. They turned it around later on, but it was initially Microsoft's game by a mile.
@@halo3odst With me, I can respect it. For my opinions though: 1. I liked the SNES a bit more than the Genesis 2. The Saturn and PS1 are honestly tied for me, because while the Saturn was a technical powerhouse, the PS1 just had so many games 3. I'd take Dreamcast over PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox. Only thing is that my favorite game of all time, Killer7, was never released on Dreamcast, though with the more recent PC release, I don't care much.
To put into perspective how strong the PS3 was as a computer, one of my computer science professors bought I believe around 20 of them for his old workplace, installed Linux on them, and hooked them all up to create an amalgamation of a matrix supercomputer. That company still uses it to this day.
Can't forget how the 360 allowed you to download portions of your physical games so the disc drive had less work load. Can't remember if the ps3 had a similar feature but it's super useful and I still use it to this day.
Some games had an option to install some content in the harddrive, it made loading times fasters and less frequent crashes during online playing. It was no ps3 menu function, you had to search the options menu inside the game
It wouldn't really make much sense to do that on the PS3. The Disc reader was very fast even on the later models. It was actually the hard drive that was the PS3's weakest element. So really putting more strain on the weaker element to save on the stronger one is counterproductive.
@@MrMarinus18 This is partly false, the PS3 actually had a really slow 2X disk drive since the Blu-Ray technology was so new and expensive. Thats why a lot of games had to be installed to the PS3 hard drive where you could play them straight off the disc on 360.
I prefer the super slim to the older designs. I like that the disc tray is manual like the PS and PS2 were, doesn't turn on or off by accident. I also like the shiny Sony logo, reminds me of electronics from the 80s that had shiny logos or buttons. The super slim is cheap but certainly not cheap looking.
@@MostlyPonies1 Compared to my 80 GB fats, my super slim lacks: PS2 compatibility, card readers, and nothing else that I'd miss. And that is perfectly fine in my book.
the 360 is probably my favorite console ever. I still play it regularly, absolutely loved the black redesign, and look back happily at all the good times I had with high school and college friends on Live. achievements were my jam (the unlock sound is still my text tone on my phone after 15+ years) and to your points: the controller is just perfection. thanks for the deep dive scott! it brought back a lot of good memories.
I used to play it a lot to till it commenced its self destruction sequence and stopped working. Now I just use ps4 and switch when I play console games
Have a lot of great memories with the 360. Played the hell out of left 4 dead 1&2 when that released. Still have amazing memories of getting it on Christmas back in 2007. Sonic 06 and Dead Rising where my brother and I’s first games. Love DR to this day and 06 whole not a “great” game I do still have fun with it and always will have great memories with that it
I absolutely love my 360 but I have no reason to use it anymore because all my 360 games are backwards compatible, which is one of the best things about the Xbox one and series X
Sony: “Oh there are rumors that Saddam Hussein is building a super computer to process the launch of nuclear missiles using a bunch of PS2s even though that would be ridiculous and wouldn’t work? We should probably make sure that doing so with a PS3 would work.”
Okami ran at 4k on the PS3 internally, and it was downsampled to 1080p in real time. If companies could get their hands around the cell processor, it was insane.
6:13 "They were making a government supercomputer." Funny you should say that, because the US Air Force actually used a bunch of PS3's to build a supercomputer... the more you know...
@@bongle3726 PS2 did have a Linux port, but you needed an external hard drive and other peripherals to use it. PS3 had Linux pretty much out of the box. Sony removed OtherOS (name of the Linux version) after people found out how to use it to mod their Consoles and potentially run pirated software.

The memories I made playing Halo on Xbox with my pals on live are unforgettable. Also learning all cuss words along the way.
I knew multiple people, my family included, who got a ps3 with the thought "We can't wait for Kingdom Hearts 3 to come out for the system".
Did you end up getting it on the PS4?
That hurts more than getting hig by a golf club in the head
*You will never reach KH3*

A big part of the online component was the ability to start parties on XBL that PS3 did not have for a long time. So if you and your friends were playing different games you could still talk to each other. Basically, as soon as you got on Xbox you joined a party or started one.
yes, the ps3 never had this until the ps4 came along
Also I don't know why the PS community is not used to play MP games, and hang out in chat like the Xbox players. I made so many friend in the Xbox 360 games and I still talk to them today, now I have a PS4 and I still didn't make a single friend. Guess it's a cultural thing? PlayStation players like single player, I guess
@@douglas4934 Nah it was the exact same on the xb1 when I used to play it more. I just think people don't wanna roll the dice on having to talk to annoying people in open lobbies anymore. Half the reason why I sit in parties even if I'm by myself in multiplayer games is because you have to mute like 50% of the people that have a mic, for a variety of reasons (potty mouth 12 year olds, guy sitting too close to the tv, music in the background etc.)
@@coolcool5181 theres some dope ppl on most mature games r6 and gta some on gta r6 still has 6 yearolds but most dont join partys
@@douglas4934 In my experience it's because the really annoying online players are enough to make me tune out everyone else. But all online lobbies are annoying so idk why XB fans were able to push through it and PS3 fans not. It may have also been a thing of less consoles sold at the start and thus less friends to play with, and less people online in general, choking out a community from growing before it could even begin.

@@329link oh ok that makes sense. For a minute there I thought you were bragging about being spoiled.
Was honesty surprised when I found out it was a tight competition in most of the world. Nearly everyone I knew had an Xbox 360 and I still see a ton of games out in thrift stores while PS3 is a bit of rareity. Same with the N64
as a ps3 owner myself, i actually agree. everyone i knew in school clowned on me because they all had 360s… i was very happy when i later heard sony technically outsold microsoft that generation lol
I somehow found like two copies of a PS3 game in 2018 and the 360 was no more
It’s probably because Xbox had the dominance for most of the gen and PlayStation did a bit of a burst halfway through to catch up and then overtake them.
I know a lot of friends I had with 360s who when late gen came around were desperate for metal gear, god of war, ratchet and clank, uncharted, infamous, etc… and a bunch of them did end up getting a ps3 as well because of that
As someone who lived in the former Soviet Union I can safely say that I've never met a person who owned an Xbox. Tbh I didn't even know it existed until I discovered youtube. But you can bet your ass everyone had a ps or a dusty old sega lying around
The thing is I doubt xbox was much popular outside the Anglo sphere. It still very much behind playstation here even today, prolly because of its US-centric advertisement
The real issue is that Microsoft has never had much international success with the Xbox consoles.
As far as I can tell, the only countries out of the US that really bought any Xbox 360s were the UK and our North American neighbors. Even now that I've graduated college, I've only ever met a single person that has ever owned a PS3. The 360 had a stranglehold over a large portion of the US
3:29 Being 10 when the PS2 came out, i remember a vast majority of people who didnt game since the NES (or at all) bought the PS2 JUST because it was a relatively cheap DVD player. It was the same thought behind the PS3 being the cheapest BluRay Player.
That’s why I own a PS3 and only had a single game that worked on it until recently.
Only it didn't work with the ps3
very true. grew up in a rural area, and most of the time a family bought a PS2 to sit hooked up in the living room to the shared tv. If the kids happened to have their own gaming console, it was either an older gen system or an xbox 360 with a crt in their bedroom where they would actually play with their friends.
PS3 is also a DVD player.
I remember using it back in the day to watch movies. It was very comfortable to use the Dualshock instead of a TV remote control. And it had a very great UI for disk movies.

Several things to add to the controller section. There's two different 360 controllers. The wireless model mentioned, but also a hardwired USB model with no wireless. The wireless model is only wireless even with the Play&Charge Kit. Which while USB-A on one end connects to the controller via a proprietary connection. Now non-detachable and proprietary cables weren't a big deal then. However meanwhile the PS3 made standard a controller that worked both wired and wireless with a regular USB port. (And in their and Nintendo's case using standard BT for wireless not a proprietary signal. Yes the most recent Xbox controllers also support BT.)
On top of the controller using AAs, there was no way to turn it off, the only way was to de attach the battery case, which in my case eventually broke off

I find it funny how the example of freezing and issues he used was (in my experience) the second most issue ridden game on the PS3, Gran Turismo 6. I've had that game since before the online service went out two years ago, but only just recently began playing it because I never managed to get it to start up adequately. the most issue ridden game on the PS3 to my knowledge is Little Big Planet 3.
Agreed
Gt 6 is a disaster
And that's about the only game i've really had trouble with except minecraft that became too big for ps3 co op
I never had too many issues with GT6 but it was apparent that it was way to large or ambitious to be a PS3 game.
Fallout New Vegas on PS3 was especially bad as well, constant crashing frames below 30, borderline unplayable.
LittleBigPlanet3 singlehandedly destroyed the credibility of the franchise. Even the PS4 version of the game was a nightmare.
Not to mention how the PS3 sounded like a harrier jet when starting up.
Numbers of exclusives doesn't matter as much as quality. There's a reason Xbox is still on the map with just 3 memorable exclusives... Halo, GoW and Forza. They were the best exclusives ever on any platform, like c'mon... Halo 3? No platform since has had such a smash hit.

The cell processor is very hard to use since it's effectively like having 7 processors that all need to work in sync. You need to distribute the calculations among all 7 and if any get's out of sync the game will crash. Many just didn't want to go through the hassle of optimizing it to use all 7 at once and just used 1 or 2.
@@scratchsoft2347 It was actually even worse for the Saturn. The Cell processor was still a single unit with the same data lines and there was a lot of support. Getting all of them in sync and at full efficiency was really tough especially with only 2 data lanes but there was help. It was kind of like having an 8 core CPU but without all the build in help that CPU's have nowadays. The Cell Architecture though was more versatile as it actually was able to handle graphical data just as easily. It could handle anything the main processor or GPU's had issues with. It was quite a clever system but hard to really use to it's full power.
The Saturn had 2 entirely separate CPU's. Not only had they entirely separate data lanes but they didn't even have the same clockspeed with one at 3.1Mhz and the other at 3.3mhz. The PS1 just had one processor at 3.2mhz and the N64 was 9.1mhz (Yes, really.). Getting the two CPU's to share a task was borderline impossible so most Saturn games combine 2D and 3D so that each can do something different and they don't have to be in sync.
@@MrMarinus18 could they not have just made a dual core system?
I wouldn't either. That sounds terrible. X'D
@@Lucy-pp6ru This was before multi-core architecture became something that was even used on PC with AMD's Athlon 64 X2 and the 800 series of Pentium CPUs with Intel.
Also keep in mind, most consoles didn’t use anything really too awful similar to the processors we use now in PCs. Sometimes consoles would use something of that sort, like the GameCube and Wii used PowerPC processors, but most of them were either custom or other processor companies would help make them.
The 360's biggest advantage from the beginning was achievements and online capabilities. Sony didn't initially have trophies, and it can NOT be overstated how much of a thing that was at the time. That was a HUGE thing at the start. And Sony's initial online strategy was a mess. They turned it around later on, but it was initially Microsoft's game by a mile.

For my opinions though:
1. I liked the SNES a bit more than the Genesis
2. The Saturn and PS1 are honestly tied for me, because while the Saturn was a technical powerhouse, the PS1 just had so many games
3. I'd take Dreamcast over PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox. Only thing is that my favorite game of all time, Killer7, was never released on Dreamcast, though with the more recent PC release, I don't care much.
To put into perspective how strong the PS3 was as a computer, one of my computer science professors bought I believe around 20 of them for his old workplace, installed Linux on them, and hooked them all up to create an amalgamation of a matrix supercomputer. That company still uses it to this day.
I want to see graphs, charts, literature, and science proving that this was economically the best way to do this at the time. Absolutely bonkers
Imagine if they were to do the same thing with the xbsx or the ps5
@@hexywesky I think he said it was still cheaper than any matrix workstation they could've purchased at the time. Absolutely insane.
Meanwhile the only good things about Xbox are it's controllers and halo
I heard about someone who did something similar
0:16 Scott predict the future lmao
I got a used PS3 slim to play Persona 5, but I fell in love with it for its media streaming. I can play my pirated media on a tube tv!
a flash drive and .avi files in my 360 was probably a solid half of the amount of time I used mine lol
Halo Reach came before Halo 4 and had a lot more impact due to it being Bungie's last Halo.
Can't forget how the 360 allowed you to download portions of your physical games so the disc drive had less work load. Can't remember if the ps3 had a similar feature but it's super useful and I still use it to this day.
Some games had an option to install some content in the harddrive, it made loading times fasters and less frequent crashes during online playing. It was no ps3 menu function, you had to search the options menu inside the game
It wouldn't really make much sense to do that on the PS3. The Disc reader was very fast even on the later models. It was actually the hard drive that was the PS3's weakest element. So really putting more strain on the weaker element to save on the stronger one is counterproductive.

No you don't
The thing is playing COD on Xbox Live was the most awesome gaming during those years from 2007 to 2013.
@@MrMarinus18 This is partly false, the PS3 actually had a really slow 2X disk drive since the Blu-Ray technology was so new and expensive. Thats why a lot of games had to be installed to the PS3 hard drive where you could play them straight off the disc on 360.
Bro, you are crazy funny. I just found your channel, but I'm going to be subscribed from now until around forever. ;)
Scott being mean to the super slim ps3, is like punching my 7 year old self in the face.
I prefer the super slim to the older designs. I like that the disc tray is manual like the PS and PS2 were, doesn't turn on or off by accident. I also like the shiny Sony logo, reminds me of electronics from the 80s that had shiny logos or buttons. The super slim is cheap but certainly not cheap looking.
@@MostlyPonies1 Compared to my 80 GB fats, my super slim lacks: PS2 compatibility, card readers, and nothing else that I'd miss. And that is perfectly fine in my book.
The fat PS3 launch models were my favorite, I loved how you could play PS1 and PS2 games on it.
Ok
You were 7 at the time? I’m fucking OLD!
the 360 is probably my favorite console ever. I still play it regularly, absolutely loved the black redesign, and look back happily at all the good times I had with high school and college friends on Live. achievements were my jam (the unlock sound is still my text tone on my phone after 15+ years) and to your points: the controller is just perfection.
thanks for the deep dive scott! it brought back a lot of good memories.
I used to play it a lot to till it commenced its self destruction sequence and stopped working. Now I just use ps4 and switch when I play console games
Have a lot of great memories with the 360. Played the hell out of left 4 dead 1&2 when that released. Still have amazing memories of getting it on Christmas back in 2007. Sonic 06 and Dead Rising where my brother and I’s first games. Love DR to this day and 06 whole not a “great” game I do still have fun with it and always will have great memories with that it
You mad lad, when you said "I wanna write videos on video games" you meant It
@@Alcanik I still mean it. one day.
I absolutely love my 360 but I have no reason to use it anymore because all my 360 games are backwards compatible, which is one of the best things about the Xbox one and series X
Sony: “Oh there are rumors that Saddam Hussein is building a super computer to process the launch of nuclear missiles using a bunch of PS2s even though that would be ridiculous and wouldn’t work? We should probably make sure that doing so with a PS3 would work.”
You aren't far off. The US Air Force made a super computer out of PS3's.
Iraq doesn’t have nukes anyway
Joseph Pastore You mean didnt?
The PS3 redesign took out the SCUD ports though.
@@DmytroEyorovych yep
Okami ran at 4k on the PS3 internally, and it was downsampled to 1080p in real time. If companies could get their hands around the cell processor, it was insane.

6:13 "They were making a government supercomputer."
Funny you should say that, because the US Air Force actually used a bunch of PS3's to build a supercomputer... the more you know...
pretty sure that's what he was referring to...
yea that was when it could run linux right out of the box until sony stopped supporting it
i thought that was ps2 or did they do both?
Wut
@@bongle3726 PS2 did have a Linux port, but you needed an external hard drive and other peripherals to use it. PS3 had Linux pretty much out of the box. Sony removed OtherOS (name of the Linux version) after people found out how to use it to mod their Consoles and potentially run pirated software.
Scott puts ‘Scott the Woz’ in every videos title, but we all know who’s video it is by the thumbnail, like nobody goes, “Is that a sandwich?”
It’s for people who search for channels
This comment has the same humour as scott
I mean, who knows it could be a sandwich model of Scott, we’d never know.
Jontron does the same too.
aw I thought I was subbed to a sandwich

"No one wanted to spend $600 on a gaming console" YET
Now you can buy a ps5 for $10000
@@ItsButtersOG okay, one, no scalper is selling it at 10 grand. Two, they're talking about MSRP.
And to think with inflation factored in, $600 back in 2006 is about $790 today.
I come from the future, the PS8 costs 2499.99
@@thefollower2933 imagine if you are correct
22:33 The PS3's XMB was so iconic that it's not only used on PSP and the Japanese-Only PSX
It's also used in other Sony Devices like Smart TVs and Blu-Ray Players
You've got that backwards. The XMB originated on the PSX, was then used on the PSP, and then the PS3 and blu-ray players
And RetroArch has it available as well!
And let us not forget the PS3's ultimate "ace in the hole": Kevin friggin Butler.
And then they sued him because he appeared in a commercial that featured a Wii
When I grow up, I'm gonna be a Director of Rumor Confirmation just like Kevin friggin Butler!
Nah dude. It's Chad Warden.

Xbox 360 S ad: "whisper quiet"
My Xbox when I put a disc in it: *EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Edit: thank god for my 250gb hard drive because I just installed all my games
My ps3 and wii when I put disc in them: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE E E E
@Golden Apple what does that have to do with anything
My 360s was loud. Then the disc drive failed, and I replaced it with an aftermarket one. It now requires ear protection within a 60 foot radius when powered...
I never remembered it being that bad
Your Xbox had a problem
Yo remember when the whole universe broke in the last episode are we just gonna forget about that ok cool bye
That was a different universe, scott confirmed that each episode is it's own mini pocket universe that continuously loops at the end of every video so basically if that Scott's universe breaks it won't affect other universe's
