I have been on the xbox 360 forum and i have asked the same question. I have also been on system wars. the ps3 forum is my last stop and after this i am off to my local gamestop.

almost 90% of the people have said that it all comes down to what games i want. well for me its not just the games, i also like the features of what each system has to offer and what makes them different from one another



thanks

The Wii has a new type of controller, but last gen games. The 360 has the best games, but get a warranty. The PS3 has a blu-ray player, but no games.

lol, agreed. PS3 has lots of great games. Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Unreal Tournament 3, Folklor, Motorstorm, RFOM, Ratchet and Clank Future, F1 Championship Edition, and thats just exclusives that are already out.

It does not play HD-DVD. You need a stand alone player or the 360 add on to do that.

Considering the PS3 has been out over a year, that's not a really impressive list. I don't think any of those are really system sellers, at least not in my book. Not to mention the poor ports of alot of big games.....like the Half Life Orange Box.

The PS3 has its strong points, it just isn't games.

nothing to be honest. the 360 and PS3 are practicly identical except i find the 360 more user friendly and has a better online service even if you have to pay for it. And the sixaxis isnt all that well implemented in games.

Its just a mather of game. What exclusive titles do you like more. ther wont be that many since most will be multi platfor this gen. in short, you cant go wrong whit eather the PS3 or the 360 if those are the ones your looking at.

Exactly; I purchased a 360 at launch and the initial line up was absolute garbage compared to the PS3s. I think people have forgotten this. Hell even the online experience/multimedia capabilities weren't very good at launch. I'm a lot more happy with the PS3s first year. For me the 360 and PS3 are about the same game wise. Some ports are better on the 360 some on the PS3 it all evens out in the end. Moving forward the trend is for ports to be pretty much identical (Burnout Paradise, DMC4, etc). I sold my 360 in the end because I didn't have room under my TV for both and PS3 won out because of its extras; built in wifi, free online, user replaceable hdd, blu-ray player, region free gaming, etc. As for the Wii it might not have the greatest graphics but how can anyone call it last gen gaming? I don't remember playing anything like Wii Sports on any console in my history of playing consoles (which goes back to the 2600). This whole topic is just flame bait though so I'm moving on to read other stuff.

It don't matter....what matters is what the system offers now, to people buying it. IN that regard, the 360 absolutely kills the PS3 in the games department.

Still, Gears of War was probably a bigger system seller than anything on the PS3, yet.

A 400 game library means nothing when only 4 games are worth playing.

I bought one at launch too, the thing broke on me 2 days later, so i returned it and saved the money for my PS3. IDK why people think the 360 had this fabulous launch lineup, i mean PDZ sucked, it just did. Right now PS3 is higher imo, i don't need to have every exclusive be a shooter, thats just boring. PS3 has the biggest variety of exclusives, and all of which are great (even Lair was pretty good imo.)

and ditto on the flamebait thing, i'll never get to lvl 27 with any more point deductions.

that about sums up what i think of the 360's "exclusives" as well.
