as we can see, ps3 has 8 cores of cpu (1 of 8 SPEs reserved for redundancy total floating point performance) but xbox 360 has only 3 cores.
However, the gpu of ps3 (NVIDIA RSX) use other tradision floating point pipelines but xbox 360 use new style pipelines which it can dynamics change.
The new style pipelines graphics shows more focus graphics and shader, but the
old tradision pipelines is more cleared if the graphisc is moving.

XBOX 360 ALL THE WAY! Far better online system than anything else and a much larger range of games available!

The wii, in my opinion, though many will disagree, is essentially little more than a 'Family Noob Machine'. It has very few games that are actually truly serious, the name is ridiculous, and it's underpowered, and whilst some will say making dedicated games consoles rather than entertainment centre style devices is good, it's just not enough to be accepted properly nowadays. The PS3, whilst very powerful, is extremely expensive, and many people dislike sony after them launching lawsuits in 27 european countries to bleed Lik-Sang to death. Microsoft isn't particularly liked much either, however in my opinion the Xbox 360 is a good choice for gaming. It's more powerful than the Wii, though less than the PS3 admittedly, and whilst many say a DVD of 8GB isn't enough for good games of the future, anything more than 6GB for a game qualifies for failure of compressing it properly and coding efficiantly. One thing I dislike about teh Xbox 360 though is the lack of a built-in browser, but PC connectivity makes up for that.
