Trophy/achievement comparing is 7 times faster on 360

[Zeus]

Here's a bit of info out there for all Xbox 360 fans. Their system is reportedly up to seven times faster in the comparing of trophies or achievements. Although the PS3 is faster by 0.5 of a second in bringing up the virtual keypad!

<blockquote>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.</blockquote>

does anyone even compare games/etc?

either way, obviously with the ps3 having way more cores then the 360, and it being a complete powerhouse over 360, with its free and better online service it only makes sense that the 360 takes 30 seconds longer when playing a game.

:rolleyes:

I compare games.

I think it's annoying that it does take that long. Definetly not a plus.

This is meaningless. In the current form, the "NXE" is sluggish as hell. The XMB and PS Store are so much faster.

After this year was confirmed to be an EPIC FAIL for xbox, this is the true glimpse of light for a sinking ship.

Use an Ethernet cable on your PS3, its much faster, the Wireless is slow as ****.

Also it doesnt take long at all to compare trophies to people on the freinds list, so I don't know what the issue is.

if the 360 loads up the Achivements list Instantly then good for them.

I cannot vouch for the speed my 360 would take as do not play online with it so no online friends but my ps3 took 4 seconds to compare to a friends list today on a 4Mb connection. Perhaps they hadn't already synced there trophies which can be the slowest part of the trophy process or just more false reporting that seems to always target the ps3 on this site.

All consoles fail. PCs have always been, and always will be better than consoles in so many ways.
