What can a PS3 offer them? What about a PC? A Wii? Granted, the Wii obviously can only offer them one thing, and that's those amazing Nintendo properties you can't find anywhere else. While I believe Nintendo has slipped a bit, they still have a chance to prove themselves with their upcoming lineup. Metroid 3, Mario Galaxy, SSBB, and not much else for awhile.
Where does that leave the 360 owner? Clearly in the drivers seat, thats where! They don't worry about how good Killzone has to be. They don't worry about how Crysis looks. Most importantly, they have nothing to worry about as far as gameplay is concerned from either of those titles! They know Halo 3 will rock harder than those 2 games can even dream.
Just be honest with yourself. Halo 3 will raise the bar for what we expect out of a FPS. Halo 3 makes everthing else fall into place. If a 360 owner doesn't like Halo's or Half Life's deep sci-fi nature, then they go with Rainbow Six Vegas, Battlefield Bad Company, Brothers In Arms 3, or Call Of Duty 4. Maybe they try Bioshock, The Darkness, Kane & Lynch, or Fracture. I know for sure that the Wii could never match those experiences. The Wii just doesn't have the power. Conversely the same cannot be said for the PC. We all know that Crysis could be ported to the 360, and easily provide that same experience. It's probably only a matter of time before we see a port anyway, but that's not the point.
While the Wii is unable to push the FPS genre, what about the others. Should a 360 owner care about Mario Galaxy, with Banjo 3 right around the corner! 360 owners already have Kameo. What new platformer games can I play on the Wii right now? How about racing, which is another strongsuit for the 360.
The 360 provides the best portfolio now, and will continue to do so. The 360 owner need not look further than Forza 2, Project Gothem Racing 4, Burnout Paradise, Dirt, and Sega Rally Revo. Why would a 360 owner even bat an eye at GT5? As if it even matters. I don't think GT5 will even match Forza 2, let alone Forza 3. The 360 owner is ahead of the game with every game!
The 360 has 3rd person stealth/action/adventure covered to death. Alan Wake, Gears Of War 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Splinter Cell 5, Assassin's Creed, Crackdown, GTA4, and Too Human. Heck, it has everything covered to death!
It has good RTS games, with Command & Conquer 3 being the latest. The RPG's are covered in all directions! Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, The Last Remnant, Lost Odyssey, Fable 2, and whatever else. Who cares if your a 360 owner. It's pretty much everything. Take to the sky's with Ace Combat 6, or beat down your favorite pet in Viva Pinanta. Virtua Fighter 5 is right around the corner. From Katamari to the next big blockbuster, the 360 has it covered.
There are to many great games to list, but at the end of the day the same cannot be said of the PS3 or the Wii. The 360 either has, or will have the top games! It will continue to have the top exclusives, and provide the best overall experience that you can get from any machine.
If Sony fanboys think that they're throwing anything in the face of a proud 360 owner, then they are a complete joke. The PC and Wii offer up slight advantages, but the 360 still holds the overall edge.
Which only goes to show just how big the Wii60 combo really is.
