Maybe in your own experiences, yes, that might be the case. However, I don't know of anyone else making the same complaints. What you believe might be true; then again, you could be entirely wrong.

The playstation platform was never really known for its shooters(until this gen), so this is almost expected.

XBL was built upon a shooter and the PC is a given.

I have to admit the 360 controller is better at FPS compare to the Dual Shock 3 but people on PSN is really good at shooters. I use DS3 with deafult setting and I am getting my fifth perstige today and just one more nuke away from that cool .gif nuke emblem.

I also played with people on PSN who already reached 10th perstige. They get team work right and they always headshot 95% of the time.

If you think about it, in the past two Playstation generations there weren't really that many shooter games, only this gen is where they have more and more shooters. And if you look at the design of the controllers, it's not designed for shooters but you can still use it.

i have the answer its simple. THE ONLY GOOD games on the xbox are shooters. what 10mil xbox owners play Halo and anohter 5mil play MW2. Us Ps3 owners have so many better games to play.. the other side to this is that we are all better then Xbox players and hence seem to be worse cuz we just dont die as easy. the good Xbox players dominate the crappy ones so it makes them look better.

Wakanoid

The 360 become very popular for shooters this gen at the same time the ps3 did. The only reason you feel that people on the ps3 are bad is your opinion and not a fact. I feel like COD players on the 360 are worse compared to the PS3. In the end its my opinion. So next time blog it.

I don't think thats true, many of the players that I play against are good. I played MW on the 360 and I don't see any difference.

This is pretty hurtful :( ... :Pnot because I am a ps3 owner, but because I'm not a goodonline guy.... oh well, I'm sure I don'ta fourth ofthe experiencethat most peopleI meet online have.

Anyways, it's still not proven either, could be though, I mean, XBL is said to be more active and fun..... I think?

The Xbox has always been more FPS driven than the PS. To make you feel better, I noticed this too. It's not a big deal or anything, just a slight difference in general (of course it doesn't count for every single person, different people have different skill levels)

I wouldn't be surprised if the 360 users in general are better at FPS games. If you bought a 360 more than likely it was for the FPS games so it makes sense. or perhaps there are more kids with lots of free time on xbox they play their shooters all day.

PS3 has approx 13-15 million users, whereas Xbox Live has approx 17 million users. So you're right. However, you still shouldn't generalize based on a few people's experiences. For example, I have a cousin who lives and breathes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and can play it amazingly on the 360 or PS3. However, he prefers to play it on the PS3 and he constantly tells me that the PS3 is much better, even with online gaming and players. Does this mean that he's right? Of course not. But if I followed your logic, he must be right. Do you see my point?

gago-gago

I must disagree with you on that statement.

I own both consoles and have logged hundreds of hours in FPS game time on both using each consoles respective controllers. I can go back and forth between them with ease and no issues. In my opinion, neither is better than the other. However, 360 console owners do tend, statistically, to play more FPS games. Therefore, you tend to hear the patently incorrect statement that the 360 controller is somehow better. This usually comes from people who play all their shooters on the 360 and only play some other games on their PS3. Not having the experience with the Dual Shock 3 controller, they magically deem it less conducive to playing FPS's. Again, that is an incorrect conclusion based on one-side information.

That is tantamount to saying that the 360 controller is not designed for JRPG's. Because most JRPG's are on the Playstation consoles.

Lol well you can tell that their those no life fattys. Anyway maybe its cause the gamers are different, xbox is basically all shooter games, halo, gears, and ps3 has more of a variety of exclusives killzone, rachet, demon souls. Its cause on 360 their are less no shooter games that are great to get into so they get used to shooting in every game. And theres more no lifes on xbl.

Who cares. I suck at shooters online because I don't have time to play them really and I don't care about playing online that much in the first place. There will always be someone better than you.
