PlayStation-centric US magazine PSM has put PS3 and Xbox 360 through a series of rigorous tests in a "definitive head-to-head comparison," and has come out with what must be a surprising result for subscribers: the next-gen console war is a dead heat.

PSM offers a balanced case for pledging your allegiance to either platform, even roping in the editor-in-chief of the US Official Xbox Magazine to defend Xbox 360. Although, with one section pointing out that "PS3 wins if... You're a loner who doesn't plan to use community features much," it seems the barbed comments have been reserved for PS3.

After admitting that "360 is more impressive [in terms of having 'big' games]" and the Xbox interface "offers a lot more functionality than PS3's," we had to double check the flannel panel to make sure that Peter Moore hadn't sneaked a spot as the month's special guest writer.

as always the war will come down to the exclusive games. With Halo 3 and now Gears of War, 360 looks like it's going to be tough to take down. PS3 needs to shore up some amazing exclusive content quick.

yea exactly. but the interesteing part was how the article talked about them being techincally on equal footing. though i do think about 4 years down the road the PS3 might begin to outshine the 360 since its probably got a longer shelf life.
