Gameplay is nearly identical, but platform differences matter for competitive players:
| Aspect | PlayStation 3 | Xbox 360 |
|---|---|---|
| Roster | 40 characters (includes exclusive Alisa Bosconovitch) | 39 characters |
| Online Play | Slightly more lag reported | Generally smoother, better netcode |
| Controller | DualShock 3 (D-pad good for fighters) | Xbox 360 pad (D-pad poor; many use fight stick) |
| Extras | PlayStation Home integration (defunct) | None |
Both run at 60 fps / 720p. For modern play, consider Tekken 7 on current hardware—it's the actively supported entry with rollback netcode.
