Am I the only one that likes both X360 and PS3?

I mean I do have preference (for X360 mainly due to the controller and secondly due to online), but otherwise, unlike many from both fan sides, I don't hate one just because I prefer the other.

I really like both of them a lot and don't think there is much difference between the two platforms. Both have plently of the same genres tailored for hardcore gamers' taste.

So do you happen to own and like both? and what are the pros and cons you find in each?

Also my pros for each are:

PS3

Extremely high quality first party titles with engaging single player storyline and superior graphics on any console when devs take advantage of the hardware. Elegantly designed interface (XMB). Very reliable hardware (still on my launch 60GB PS3). Also SONY takes commendable risk on extremely interesting new IPs.

.

X360

Brilliant controller design + superior online + slightly better performing multiplats.

.

And my cons for each are:

PS3

Bad triggers design and thumbsticks layout (exacerbated by not having good alternative 3rd party controllers). Subpar online, or at least used to be (had many online issues with PSN back in the day, but the last time I played online on my PS3 was when LBP came out, so maybe it's better now).

.

X360

Horrendous hardware quality prior to slim models. Really bad dashboard design (getting worse in every revision). Repetitive first party IPs, MS is playing it safe and not taking risks with new interesting IPs like SONY seems to be doing for quite a while now. Shift of focus to more casual and media streaming than hardcore games.

i like things about the ps3. A couple of games and that it plays blu rays. Everything else i can do without or hate mems_1224

For the most part, I dislike both these days.

I have owned both systems, and they are both okay. The thing is that it's difficult to find a reason to own both when they share such huge percentage of their libraries.

I own both and I like the PS3 much more.

I like both.

I like them both. There is no reason to have extreme hate for either like some people here do.

Dislike both master race. All others are babbies.

I don't dislike the 360, I dis like the anti consumer, anti qulity control, anti competition, anti game producing company that produces it.

I like the consoles, but don't like the fanboys.

Nope, your one of millions.
Besides 1 or 2 games, what we don't like is the Wii...

Xbox 360 Pros - none Cons - rrod, price: 360 + 5 years Xbox live + rechargeable batteries + hd DVD player = around $800; bad games PS3 Pros - price, the Cell, power, style, controllers, best games AAAAE MGS4, AAAE uncharted, etc, FREE online Cons - Eats a lot of my timePS3FanMan4Life

Boy, stop.

I much prefer the PS3, but if the PS3 didnt exist, i would love a 360. I dont like the way they nickel and dime people, charge for online, and are trying to get contracts started, but the actual product is pretty good (After the RROD stuff).

yes you are the only one!

I believe both are fine as most gamers are either or on the subject, but I have never really been interested in Nintendo and I would still say X360 is my favorite. I got rid of my PS3 mainly because I like my X360 more and would rather have just one entertainment system connected to the t.v. as having two entertainment systems is kind of overkill.

I like both. I've spent many hours playing games I like on each system.

I own a ps3, but I dislike both, because I also own a pc. :)

I love PS3,360,PC and I have to even admit the Wii has a few good games. The 3DS got me back into HH gaming. Theres games on all the systems that I couldn't fathom of passing up.

I like both. The both have their pros and cons. I've been using my 360 more as of late but so what?

I haven't enjoyed my 360 since Halo Reach, FM4, and Gears 3 ... Waiting on FMH, and Gears:J and Halo 4.

No but this is SW and as such you can only like one console.

Yes, you are the only person in the world that likes both the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360. How did you manage to accomplosh such a feat?

Nope I dig my PS3...I like the 360 better though and play it more but a true gamer plays games and doesn't worry about all the bs

i own both, actually paid 600 dollars for the ps3, and the ps3 never ever gets played, the online stinks, the controller stinks, the games stink aside from mlb the show even though I cant hit, and maybe TLOU which is coming out in 2013.

360 is what superior gamers and people play, we arent trash, we have the better controller, better games, much better online and we pay for the always evolving xbl cause we can afford it and we have jobs.

PS3 due to free online and Uncharted series which is my favorite. I also prefer the controller of the PS3 as the XBOX 360 feels like truck with the batteries in it. I just like the layout of the PS3 controller bettter also.

I have a PS3 but I never use it. The exclusives suck and PSN is completely inferior to XBL. 360 is probably my favorite console of all time.JohnnyCageMK

LOL@ you for not properly researching a product before buying it. You know what they say, "A fool and his money soon part"

i like both the 360 and ps3, your not alone my friend

I love all my systems, including Wii. I am really loving my 3ds though, lately.
