Joystiq [PlayStation]

It's always fun to pit one console against another in a steel-caged match to the death. In this case, the fine folks over at Games Digest have created a battle royale between the browsing capabilities of the big, black monolith and the little, white cottonball.

To determine a winner, each browser was sent onto the dangerous Interweb all by itself to see how it faired against 15 different Web 2.0ish sites, including the likes of Facebook, ebay and Digg. Scoring was simple: you get 0 points for total failure to render, 1 point for partial success and 2 points for full-on success.

The ultimate conclusion?

"Wii: 26. PS3: 20. Victory goes to Opera's Wii browser, hurt by the fact that two sites (Bloglines and Google Maps) didn't work at all on the PS3 browser. However, it's worth stressing that PS3's ability to upload photos and (possibly) video gives it an advantage if you're big on this user-generated content lark."

Both browsers are frankly lacking. They have more in common with a cellphone browser than they do their PC counterparts. Until we see a full-featured browser, backed by a keyboard (fullsize or thumbpad), we'll continue to do the vast majority of our browsing on a dedicated computer. Over time, we expect this to change.
