2008 Football Games Will Run Smoother on the 360 than PS3
Xbox-Scene :: Wednesday, July 04, 2007
From xbox360fanboy.com (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/07/02/60-fps-football-will-be-better-on-the-360/ ): [QUOTE] 1UP is reporting that all the heavy hitting football games coming out this year (Madden 08, NCAA Football 08, and All-Pro Football 2K8) will be running best on the Xbox 360. 30 frames smoother to be exact. 1UP says that they’ve confirmed with developers that the 360 versions of each football game will run at a buttery smooth 60 frames per second while the PS3 version will have to settle for 30 frames per second. What does that mean? Well, it means animations will be smoother, faster and less jarring than the PS3 version.
