Hey, I've been thinking about buying a console and I was wondering out of the PS3 and 360 which is better fot shooters? I've looked around and the 360 has better past shooters, but I haven't seen any more exclusove shooters coming to it other than Gears 2. The PS3 on the otherhand has Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 coming up. Any advice?

360 is better if u want shooters. Gears 2 will be one of the best shooters this year. But its got alot better shooters at the moment aswell. And the halo expansio could end up being really awsum aswell.

the 360's anologue sticks are a bit better for fps games. Then again, you should play rainbow six vegas on both consoles and see how you feel. Handling fps games with the ps3 anlogue sticks is still too floppy

Well I do prefer the 360 controller over the PS3 one, so I suppose that the 360 is looking like the best option...

I don't know. For FPS shooters I prefer the dual triggers for the PS3. Throwing grenades w/ R2 & shooting em up w/ R1 is really nice. Plus Resistance 2 will be a great exclusive FPS. Insomniac always delivers with those beasts. + play online against 60 & online co-op w/ eight friends or strangers, W/ quick entry & exit. The game will be of great value. The campaign should be tight. There will be tons of shooters to hit PS3. Either way which ever way you go, you should get Far Cry2 this year.

Um did I say the PS3 is BETTER for shooters? lol I said the PS3 has great shooters coming up....Where is the resemblance. Halo 3 = Over rated as a Single Player game. Gears of War is good though. But yeah, let's just see what happens between Resistance 2 & Gears of War 2 ;) Besides gamers tend to have a solely different review score than that of GS. :P I mean, by all means keep advertising this guy to get a 360. That's what you really want :P Of course I never said 360's controls

The XBox 360 controller is pretty much made for the shooting genre because of the placement of the analog stick and don't forget how awesome the shoulder triggers are. At this moment it has the better lineup of shooters, but the PS3 has good one coming up. So if you are interested in those then maybe give those a try before you make your purchased.

Depends, I enjoy Socom more than Halo/Gears. 90% of shooters are multiplatform so decide which controller you like.

if you're talking bout first person shooter the 360 has the upper hand, but if ur talking about shooters generally ie including 3rd person, stealth shooter, ps3 and 360 are both equal.

Well some people perfer 360 mostly because of the controller, I have no problem with either controller.

Ps3 has the most shooters announced- Socom, Killzone, R2 and even M.A.G

360- Has Gears, Left 4 dead ( if that doesn't get ported) and future Halo titles

Your choice, I have both so it doesn't matter to me LoL

I'll probably get a 360 because I do prefer it's controller.

BTW: To those who said PC, I already own a gaming PC which is all I've been using for the last year and a half. :P

also: why is it that most shooters on the PS3 have the R1 button to shoot? the R2 trigger is a much better choice imokillerfist

I've always wondered about that...

I mean the R2 button is shaped like a trigger and im using R1 to shoot

but yea i'd recommend the 360
