Trophy/achievement comparing 7 times faster on 360
By TTP of NeoGAF
OK here's one for the FANBOYS to really get arsey about lol
Ever wondered how fast each console's operating systems ran? Wonder no more.
Legendary NeoGAF forum poster TTP has been busy compiling information on the speed that both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 perform certain tasks. The results were generally similar for each of the operating systems, but there were some surprising differences.
First off, TTP connected both systems (an 80GB PS3 and an Xbox 360 Elite) using the same ISP and hardware, with each connected to his HDTV with an HDMI cable. For any in-game tests, Fight Night Round 4's training gameplay was used.
Everything from starting up and signing in, to loading up the Xbox Marketplace and PlayStation Store, took generally the same amount of time on both consoles.
There tends to be some difference in the PS3's in-game load times (such as showing up a friend's profile), whereas the Xbox 360 predominantly takes the same amount of time to perform tasks both in and out of game.
The biggest difference occurs in the comparing of trophies or achievements. The times were taken from selecting "compare games/trophies" to the moment every piece of data (gamer points) shows up. The PlayStation 3 takes 27 seconds (a massive 37 seconds in-game) with the Xbox 360 taking 4 seconds both in and out of game.
Sony really needs to get their game on with the PS3's new trophy system, though it's true that all the Xbox 360 has to do is download numbers, whereas the PS3 must download images for each and every trophy.
There are some areas where the PS3 is slightly faster, such as creating a message - it takes 0.5 seconds to bring up the virtual keyboard on the PS3 and 2 seconds on the Xbox 360; and quitting the dashboard/XMB is one second faster on the PS3.
Not too much to shout about, but interesting nonetheless.
Here is his test ENJOY LOL
I was bored so I decided to launch a stopwatch widget and do some time comparisons between the Xbox 360 and the PS3 performance relative to their basic functions.
Of course this test doesn't cover every aspect affecting the "experiences" you get by using both systems (menu navigation, short cuts, user interface structure etc.) but offers some data on the matter of which one is faster at doing their stuff.
It turns out both are pretty similar, except for when you have to compare trophies/achievements (the difference here is staggering). 360 wins easily in this regard.
Feel free to correct me if you notice any significant difference between these data and your personal experience.
Before we start, some set up info:
Both systems are connected online via the same ISP/hardware.
Both systems are connected to my HDTV via HDMI.
PS3 is a 80GB model (but with a 320GB Seagate in it - forgot which one, but has 8MB of RAM)
360 is an Elite model.
For in-game performance tests, I used the Fight Night Round 4 demo as the background application. More specifically, the training gameplay.
