Linked for the lazy.

Although some of the points make sense, how can you say the 360s' reign has ended because of the opinion of one person?

Might as well throw mine out the window...

Both systems have a great library of games, ultimately the 360 is VERY unreliable.

Final Fantasy was on NES and SNES before PS1 and 2. Why is he so bothered about it going on 360?

Great article. A very good read.
I don't know a 360 owner irl who doesn't wish they'd have waited and bought a PS3 instead.

[QUOTE="the-obiwan"]that artitle is funny i read it a few days ago so biased[/QUOTE Its not biased, he actually praises and bashes both consoles equally. I would feel the same way as him if say... socom games started going to PC. I would be happy, but really dissapointed at the same time. I have known to love these games for years, and being on my platform of choice is exciting, but it doesnt feel right. I would be same way if mario came to playstation some how, i most likely wouldnt buy it just because its on a sony console.

The guy is a fanboy for FF series, but he makes good points on the 360 as a whole, all they want is money and that is what they accomplished. Most people have been through more than 1-2 360's.

Xbox 360-Great exclusives even though most end up on the PC anyways, unreliable system, no wi-fi(need to purchase), monthly online subscription(need to purchase), no blue-ray(need to purchase), batteries....

As in Red Ring's.

"The 360 gamer did their own survey to try to assess how many gamers have actually received the Red Ring of Death. They admit their findings may be skewed towards the negative, but I still find their results more accurate than the 4 – 5%. What exactly were their findings? 2,315 responses out of 3,780 submissions complained they have had at least one console break on them. That is a whopping 61% failure rate."

Sooooooo, your console has a 61% chance of failure. Those odds do not look good.

Oh and can't forget the "Open Tray" error. I've seen that problem more than than the rings...

thousands of people fight over this....?

Why does it matter? If SOCOM goes to PC, you can still play it. Why does it matter? Because you can't come on forums bragging about how you have teh 1337 exclusives? If you're not a gamer, why are you on GAMEspot. Go create a site called Fanboyspot.

I bought a 360 for Gears of War, one game which at the time was exclusive and now isn't. Oh noes! Teh unplayablez!

Sure man, sure. Even if it was true, 40 million consoles sold for a Xbox system should be amazing for sure :)

FACT Microsoft has the bigger fan base. Why did they give you guys a half-a**ed system then? They mines well give you a full refund for what you purchased and on top of that give you a brand new fully working system.

RROD isn't a big problem anymore. in this year, MS have manged to reduce the failure rate to 5-10%.

and that explains nothing about sales AT ALL. just some guywho bought a ps3

Ya nice article with someones opinion but here is something that is not opinion that the PS3 is still last.rybe1025

I noticed you decided to quote me and not the TC even though he is the one that made the thread saying the reign of the 360 is over. I am not surprised but im just saying.

Somewhat random thought:

We all know the 360 had a pretty long head-start ahead of the PS3. Far as I can tell, that is the main reason Sony is behind. If I'm not mistaken both of these consoles have had nearly identical sales for quite some time now. I'd like to see the overall number of consoles sold for both since the PS3 came out.
I'm sure Sony' would still bebehind, but by how much?

The first one out the gate always wins. When enough time has gone by and ppl are ready for the next set of consoles, this will be true again.

Dreamcast is proof that being the first released doesn't guarantee success.

That went through my head when I wrote that. But I went ahead anyway because at that point no one took Sega seriously anyway. They really hung themselves with the Saturn.
But you have a valid point.

What exactly was 360 "reigning" with?

The controller has its flaws but to say it sucks seems pretty far-fetched. I wouldn't put PSN above XBL, but be realistic here. In terms of gaming, it does the job pretty well. That and you're bringing up number of players on a mostly-single player game...

The only reign that is going on is the Wii's. Do you have stocks or something? Sales shouldn't matter to anyone here.

I'm sorry ps3 owner, the wii is still the top selling console. the 360 only had a short reign that ended a few years back.

JONO51

Its also losing 3rd party support and has one of the worst lineups in gaming history if you are a core gamer.The Wii isnt dominating anything but the casual market.

Now long live the PS3!

Everyone knows, With Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake and the mighty Halo Reach....360 will do just fine in 2010.

Boy it sure is handy to have a memory that auto deletes what an utter piece of malfunction prone garbage the launch ps1 and ps2's were.

The writer is nothing more than a late to the party bandwagon jumping crybaby.

microsoft hijacked the game industry? makes him feel like a fool for relying on it? it's not cool enough for him? (btw, dude... you are a video game journalist how cool does something have to be for you to like it? light sabre cool, anime cool or dropping mentos in diet coke cool?) the ps3 represents an escape from MS? really??? I though ms was giving us an out from a group of overconfident execs that thought they could drop any old game system on us and we would be glad for it and suck it up whether it had a decient library or not. well, according to that parting line at least he will finally feel cool. congrats on that R.G.

I bought the ps3 almost at launch and knowing what problems it was going to have, I did it because I knew eventually they would get their act together and would be a great system to own.

In the time it took for them to get there though I entertained myself by ridiculing how the mighty had fallen.

anyway regardless of all that I'm calling it as I see it, AUTHOR = FAKEBOY!

Ha ha ha! are you serious? I got rid of my Ps3 and wii, Xbox is infinitely better.

Ps3 - Slow, bad games, bad online, no gamerscore.

Wii - bad everything, controls, graphics, games ect.
