Fancy dress fighting game Tekken 6 may be a perfect multi-platform release in that both Xbox 360 and PS3 have all but indistinguishable graphics, but some quite embarrassing differences in load times for PS3 and Xbox 360 seem to suggest the Xbox 360 version is clearly superior…
The problematic load times (which have been known about, though not so exhaustively tested, for some time) are benchmarked as follows, with the numbers being the load duration in seconds when switching stages or characters:
PS3:
| BD/DVD | HDD | |
| Character change | 25.4 | 10.0 |
| Stage change | 17.6 | 10.1 |
| Both change | 33.0 | 11.8 |
Xbox 360:
| BD/DVD | HDD | |
| Character change | 9.0 | 7.5 |
| Stage change | 9.9 | 8.3 |
| Both change | 11.0 | 9.1 |
Running the PS3 version from Blu-ray without installing yields pathetic load times, but even after the “optional” install the load times on the PS3 are in the region of 30% slower, quite a significant difference given the shortness of bouts in such games.
PS3 supporters can still point to the imperceptible differences between the two as favouring the PS3, not that they could possibly justify 30% longer loads.
Whether Namco, Sony or even Microsoft’s fault, lately it does appear the PS3 has been getting the short end of the stick wherever console ports are concerned, though even this has not stopped the PS3 version vastly outselling the Xbox 360 version…
Lmao this is the most fan boy based s♥♥t I’ve ever seen ahahaha!!! Well look I have both systems. I got the ps3 version cuz it looks better and there’s better online players for fighting games on ps in my opinion I played sc on xbox everyone sucked ass. I got codmw2 for xbox though if that makes u feel better. I haven’t bought anything for my xbox in awhile before that. Uncharted pretty bad ass too but I guess u can’t really bash on a game that wasn’t multi platform. And the load times aren’t as horrid as you say but that’s only true after u install it.

bet my 10,000 RPM hdd makes my load times quicker than any xbox 360’s
not that it matters different strokes for different folks
“insert console name here” fanboys make me laugh
old news, by now we all know that these weaker ports (bayonetta & tekken) are due to ps3 having a smaller market, thus developers are spending less hrs to work on ps3 versions, which makes $ sense. so as a ps3 owner, as long as it is acceptable, then i am happy that i even can play this game, yes, load time is long for bayonetta, and tekken6 i haven’t seen a 360 version yet, but still better than nobody develops ps3 versions, like L4D series.
who cares? tekken is a s♥♥t game anyways!!!
Not to mention there are better fightings like SFIV, BlazBlue and Dead or Alive 4.
