The number 1 reason to buy a 360

Because its better then the ps3

people who like ps3 must have a taste for inferior quality products

REBEL2100x

Why? Because we prefer consoles that don't break down so much?

A games website that is to be taken seriously can't spit out such a stupid statement "The Xbox 360 has the best video games of any next-generation console. It's true, and trying to argue against it makes you sound like an idiot." How about this then, "I've played the so called 'amazing' games for the 360, I found Gears to be a fun experience but not in the long run, Halo 3 is only fun in the offline multiplayer modes and Forza isn't my cup of tea, the only game I would truely want on the 360 is Dead Rising. There are more games on the PS3 and Wii which interest me and are in the genres which I enjoy" I guess that must've just sounded like complete idiocy mustn't it. What is truth is that you cannot say such absurd things, what someone views as enjoyable is down to their own opinion and tastes, not some numbers on a games website which is clearly where gaymer vision got their opinions.

Appeal doesn't decide what product is better than the other, just because someone doesn't feel like they enjoy something should not dismiss the actual quality of the product. 360's library currently has the most things pointing towards it being a head of the other consoles, currently has the highest rated amount of quality games at almost all credible review sites, the most diverse library, and the highest software sales/attach rate.

Microsoft is the number one reason to buy an Xbox 360? Funny, I had it pegged as the worst, considering that the online gameplay sucks 100% because Microsoft are sleezy dirtbags, the content is closed-source and UCC is a wasteland precisely because Microsoft are sleezy dirtbags, and peripheral garbage like the network adapter and the hard drives persist precisely because Microsoft are sleezy dirtbags.

And oh yeah, that's the only reason I don't want the 360 to win. I want Microsoft out of gaming, period. Actually, I want them out of everything. Microsoft is almost as bad as Apple in standardizing garbage. Linux please. Open source please. Nintendo or Sony, love of christ. Even better, Linux gaming. Please, God, make it happen.

[QUOTE="johnnyblazed88"][QUOTE="Jared2720"][QUOTE="NSR34GTR"]Microsoft

Microsoft isn't afraid to play dirty in the console wars, such as being willing to spend millions of dollars for exclusive games or downloadable content. Sure, it might hurt the company's image, but damned if it doesn't benefit gamers. Games like Grand Theft Auto IVandFallout 3 can look forward to exclusive content thanks to daddy's wallet, and Final Fantasy XIII is coming out on the system because of a check Microsoft wrote to Square. moan, do whatever you want, but their actions are of huge benefit to the casual and hardcore alike.

Games

The Xbox 360 has the best video games of any next-generation console. It's true, and trying to argue against it makes you sound like an idiot. The sheer number of games is astounding, and even if a game isn't an exclusive, the 360 version is usually superior to its competition. Developers know how to develop for the console, and most create their games for it before porting it over to the PS3, and until developers begin spending more time on this process, the other versions always suffer from it.

These are just two of the reasons more after the jump

The "Games" argument is just absurd.

why because its true and you can't argue against it?

No, because it's not true and I can argue against it.

lol...

with what though

Quantity- the 360 library is bigger
Genre variety- the 360 covers multiple genres better
Critical acclaim- the 360 has more games that have scored above 8
Exclusives- the 360 has released more exclusives, as well as has more exclusives to score above an 8
360/PC- games that will still not be on PC, giving the 360 library another edge.
Multiplats- most of them being identical now, with all the past multiplats almost consistantly going towards a better performance on 360.
XBLA- More games and exclusive content than PSN(although PSN has the better indi stuff)

I mean I'm not saying it isn't impossible to make an arguement for the PS3, i am just saying your really going to have to stretch alot of things to make it convincing.

:lol::lol::lol::lol: That's pretty funny seeing that the 360 sharing so many of it's games with PC is one of the reasons I bought a PS3 over a 360. That's one hell of a edge the 360 has going there. :roll:

1. Dead Rising
2. Mass Effect
3. Braid
4. $10 Ikaruga
5. Forza Motorsport 2
6. Unified and streamlined online service
7. N+
8. $300
9. HD ready out of the box
10. Addictive achievements that add replay value

Those were my ten major reasons and I've been finding even more ever since I got it.

No its all money for companys so nobody thinks about there gamers. the PS3 has inferior quality over the 360? thats the dummest argument ive ever heard in my lifetime.The PS3 is more expensive because its a better quality product. The 360 in comparison is a cheap unreliable console with a larger game library. The PS3 has bluray while that joke of a high quality console you have uses DVD which is OLD and much lower quality technology. The PS3 has far far lower defect rates then that joke of a reliable console which has a double digit defect rate. The 360 doesnt even have any motion sensing which is even found on the Wii!. the 360 barely has any backwards compatability while some PS3's had a PS2 built into them just for playing PS2 games while you guys had software emulation from the start which has only allowed the 360 to play about 500 original xbox titles while all of the earlier PS3 model owners can play over ten thousand PS2 game titles. Obviously as everyone knows the PS3's quality became to good and Sony had to make the new SKU's slightly worse.

Sure thing pal. Keep telling yourself that. Too Human flopped, Banjo is a budget price for a budget game. 360 is a lousy system that has reached its peak.

10 reasons to buy it, and one reason not to (RROD) however that 10:1 ratio proves why RROD isnt stopping the 360 from selling. If it can outsell ps3 in japan, it can do anything, including cook me dinner.

[QUOTE="ash10692"]Reliability. The one reason not to.Millennium_King

My blu ray drive died while playing MGS4. Luckily I had an in-store warranty. You were saying?

a 33% chance of failure that made headline news and a company that spent 1 billion dollars (if i can recall correctly) on warranties just for that RROD issue

don't make it out like just because your ps3 had a problem that m$ problem is just okay

lol your such a lemming just because it sells out the ps3 for a couple of weeks you think it means something. Believe me the 360 wont do anything in japan even with last remnant, or infinite undiscovery. Plus the ps3 might be getting a tales game so we will see a huge sales increase in japan for that if it happens. Plus FF13 is supposedly going to come out for christmas in japan expect to see ps3 flying of shelves.

um

1- I wrote it wrong, 360/PC as in games that still don't show up on PS3..giving the 360 an edge in that area.
2- THe 360 has 10 AA exclusives 4 AAA exclusives....versus what 1 AAAA exclusive and 4 or 5 AA exclusives for the PS3...i mean the 360 still offers more exclusive content than the PS3.
