Yep -- the PS3 has been declared the winner of IGN's poll. According to savvy websurfers, the PlayStation 3 should win the console race. Since we're biased, we guess it's a moot point for us to say we agree.

yeah, I believe that when it's all over for 2008, the sales data is going to start showing this across the board, not just in terms of hardware, but also a major upswing in software as well. Now if Sony could just find a way to push all those PS2 users to upgrade faster.

HEY YOU... thanks
The console race SHOULD be won by the company that truly furthers videogaming as a whole. More things can be done on the PS3 than the Xbox360 and Wii alone. Companies should follow its example and try to make advancements that further the entire technological experience.
Thats why it SHOULD win. Whether or not it does is left to the world.

Your right but i agree with the poll. If sony can continue to deliver AA titles every couple months and all these anticipated titles and the home service can be as good as expected/hoped than sony will win. I sold my xbox 360 for a ps3 late last year. I just dont see any future 360 titles that i must have but MGS 4 and little big planet and killzone and resistance 2 all are ones i cant not have. Xbox 360 will fade and die much quicker than ps3 will and a new xbox will come out again in 2 years or less.

I couldn't disagree with you anymore. 360 is solid. Great amount of must have game coming. Ps3 has some coming. I still can't wait for the Getaway3 that will be amazing. But still the 360 is awesome and it has great game. Just stop complaining and want a winner because if there is a winner that means the gamers loose. Think if Sony and MS and Nintendo(if we have to throw them in there) compete and compete what happens better games for the consumer, so if they stop competitions then the gamer that had the other two consoles will not get the awesome game like they have been seeing.

John Kerry Said the same thing when a poll wasn't in his favor. Later in the same interview where a poll showed his favor he said that the poll was accurate.

Odd i am an Ign insider and I have been on recently and never saw this.
In all honesty what has Sony done to deserve it, they over promise and over hype everything and fail to deliver beyond 75%. And before you bury my post, I own all 3 from this gen and last. I own far more games for my 360 and wii than my ps3, any multi platform game I want, I get for my 360 (rumble/better controller and better graphics) Microsoft may not be perfect but they sure as hell deserve more respect than sony.
Go ahead bury my post.

Your entitled to your opinion but i had an xbox 360 and didnt see the graphics being better on that system. I dont see any xbox 360 titles looking better than motorstorm or ratchet or resistance. If your talking about third party titles than maybe for the time being or a year ago but i just dont see that happening anymore call of duty 4 and the newest ones look the same on both systems pretty much. I looked at the future releases on both systems and i couldnt see any xbox 360 first party titles that i had to have. name some because i am curious

I will not burn your post but agree with it. I love my 360, I don't have a Ps3 but I will be getting a PS3(not a new one but used). In todays world of gaming you can't be a one system guy or your leaving out all these great games for instance If you just own a PS3 your missing Halo Gears Cooking Moma No more heros SSBB. You get left in the dust.

Mass Effect? Either way, the graphics aren't going to be much different one way or another. Both have similar graphics cards. For the most part according to ign the games do usually run at smoother frame rates on the 360.

You really, truthfully, all fan-boyness aside, think that M$ really has a long-term future in console gaming?? I almost fell over from laughing when I read this from you:
"Microsoft may not be perfect but they sure as hell deserve more respect than sony."
More respect for what??? Ripping off and a$$-raping its loyal customers continually!! Let me know when I can go buy a cheap, non-proprietary HDD to upgrade a 360 and a system that doesn't have a high chance of burning up then I will change my opinion.

Both consoles have some great things going for them that cant be argued: Blu Ray for the PS3, upgradable HDD, option to install YD Linux, and low hardware failure.
360 has great Online service (even if you DO have to pay for it), great exlusive games and a decent library. I dont have a 360, but i can honestly say i wish i had a reliable online service.. COD4 online can suck.. bigtime on the ps3.
But you CANT argue graphics, or controller (or rumble anymore), or even price.
The 360's achillies heel is the DVD drive, plain and simple.

As far as owning more games on 360 i agreed i do to i own all 3 system and i owned more game on 360 but at the same time u have to remember the 360 had been out longer.AS far as better controler it depend on the type of game u playing if u playing dmc4 on ps3 360 the controler is better on the ps3.Fps work well on both but 360 edges its out by a lil bit. this gen u must own at least a ps3,wii, and 360 or pc
u can get any 360 game on pc

I think maybe all the ps3 owners have been using their cell processor power to pad the voting at ign.
Seriously though with MGS4, GT5, FF13, etc. I think it would be pretty hard for the ps3 to not win.

The 360 has long since blown it's load and 2008 will prove to be the year the PS3 started to kick it's ass. I'm still waiting for GTA4 to be released and watch as the 360's out there start dying in mass amounts due to how much play they are going to be getting. Meanwhile, our PS3's will be chugging along nicely, same game.. Oh.. No bonus DLC, enjoy that when you get your refub 360 back.

Truefully I wouldn't even own a PS3 if it wasn't for the fact I went thru 4 360's. I just get more depressed with the system and seeing articles like Quake Wars to be gimped on the PS3 and the developers "hoping to make the PS3 version to look as good as they can". The only reason I can't sell it is because I've got too many Blu-ray movies.

Yeah, I love the PS3 (get one next month), but am sick and tired of getting shafted in 360 ports, lack of content, etc.
The PS3 is the "Meg" (Family Guy) of this generation unfortunately.
I do think it will do a lot better this year and not be the butt of jokes.
