Devil May Cry 4 - Playstation 3 vs XBOX360

I own both systems, downloaded the demos on both systems...

TV: Mitsubishi 73" Diamond HDTV (WD-73833)

Both systems connected via HDMI cables, same settings for each console.

Playstation 3:
First thing I noticed was the game plays in 720p... The details were crisp and sharp, Overall gameplay felt natural with the PS3 controller. Only issue I had was the camera control felt loose and a little difficult for percision control. Actual character movement and actions felt sharp and just as good as you'd expect if you played Devil May Cry 3.

XBOX 360:
The fact the game stayed at 1080p made me feel cheated when compared to the PS3 version, however the details and sharpness doesn't quite match the PS3, so 1080p isn't everything folks! Also noticed it was slightly brighter than the PS3 version. TV settings could change either one of the consoles to match the other, but it was something I noticed. Despite the fact I've been playing XBOX 360 games nonstop for a month and barely touched my PS3, the controls didn't feel quite right and some of my jumping around was more of a blunder. The camera controls felt stiffer and slightly more controllable though.

Overall:
The game is on both consoles now, Sony fans can whine about it all they want, but they should look on the bright side... The PS3 version seems to have better details and sharpness compared to the 360 version, and call me crazy, but I don't quite feel the gameplay on the XBOX 360 like I do on the PS3. Both sport Dolby Digital 5.1 sound which comes out clearly if you have home theater system.

For me, I'll be getting it for the PS3.
