Okay, i read the article, so this guy is suddenly switching to PS3 because of the faulty hardware, that has been known since about a week after 360's release.

Plus he's also switching because he found out that he'd rather play Final Fantasy XIII on PS3 instead of 360.

Okay i can answer rebut that article:

First Microsoft's newest Xbox 360 Elite's power supply is completely reengineered, in fact it looks like someone took a knife and cut the power brick in half and it now only has a nice cool running output of 110-watts, so not only are there no more red rings but there are hardly any freeze ups anymore as well.

Secondly past history and developers have already proven that multiplatform titles look and play better 95% of the time on 360. So what if the writer of your article goes through the trouble of switching to PS3 and the PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIII is the worst of the two, because after all it's the PS2 Square Enix is used to making FF games on not the PS3, totally different architecture now ?

Bottom line is, if your going to switch from a 360 to a PS3, first do some research about the reliability of the very latest 360 hardware if you have that many 360 games and peripherals invested in Microsofts machine, because in my opinion you never switch just to play one game on the other console, especially if it's also going to be on 360.

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

No, my 360 is very reliable. And I prefer the excluives on the 360 over those on the PS3, so my opinion is greater than yours and 360 is better! ... see how i proved that with nonesense just like you did?

[QUOTE="rybe1025"][QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] I never agreed with TC. If so show me where .But lemmings like to state the fact that PS3 is in last place, sales AAA,AA,A games. I can comprehend that and it's cool. But you seem to state since it is in last place it's less fun.Animal-Mother

Whatever, I have been here long enough to know better then to bother. I know which console you always side with so I am not going to bother debating. You could have said to the TC he should not worry about what place the consoles are in and just enjoy the PS3 whatever the place so I am not going to debate when it is already hypocritical.

Ok so your calling me a fanboy now. Because I side with a console doesn't mean I don't enjoy the others(go look at my gamer tag and see what console I picked up bayonetta for :o). Also your the one who couldn't take the criticism of one mans opinion from the article. Thus your first post being a knock to the PS3 which has been shoved down our throats already. Did I not acknowledge the Ps3 had less AAA,AA,A titles and lowest sales or did you just not read my post because your assuming what I am?

His title was the reign is over for the 360. I just pointed out the flaw because he went on some random persons opinion and I just pointed to the fact the it was clearly not the case. You just saw what I said and I could only guess thought OMG hurry and defend the PS3. I never said the PS3 was less you are the one one bringing that up. You are the one bringing up AAA, AA and so on games. I also do not need to look at your gamertag. I also game on the PC but I know I have a preference between the two. Just because a person has more then one system does not make them not biased for one system. Also I never said your a fanboy I am just saying it seems you have a bias.

This is what I said-Ya nice article with someones opinion but here is something that is not opinion that the PS3 is still last.

However I feel about the PS3 I am lost on what your getting at. Was the problem the PS3 being last? Well it is so whats the problem?

From what I could understand.... 1. The 360 is unreliable and it is annoying: Yes it is.....well done, Welcome back to 2010...... Yes they still break even now, even with the Jasper Chip 2. Microsofts Presenters are overly annoying: Yep, they are meant to be over the top and overly excited about every small Microsoft based thing....its their job! 3. The 360 has poor build quality: Yep, Yet again he jumped back to 2006 briefly, it creaks and makes rattling noises....but you can't say that the PS3 Slim is made of high quality materials, I wouldn't put the PS3 slim quality plastics in a 1993 Ford Escort 4. The PS3 has good games coming up: Yep, it sure does, even some of the 360 fanboys are saying that :) 5. He bought a PS3 because of FFXIII: Well done! 6. Microsoft has a lot of previously Sony Based games on its System: Worst point out of the lot, it seems he doesn't like the fact that the 360 has good games on it, its like some sort of weird gaming prejudice against it, maybe MS "helped" Devs and Publishers with some capital, Its like people complaining that 360 has exclusive DLC...Maybe MS paid for it? I don't believe Sony is bankrupt

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

Maybe the Wii s still the top selling console but the games sales are very poor.The Modern Warfare 2 on the XBOX360 have sell 4.20M.I think that Wii reign is over.The XBOX360 is the best console.

Sales: 1st- Wii 2nd- XBOX360 3rd- PS3
Games: 1st- XBOX360 2nd- PS3 3rd- Wii

Averages:
XBOX360:1th place
Wii:2nd place
PS3:3th place

His assertion that owning more than one console isn't viable is absurd. Furthermore, he seems overly sentimental about the hardware rather than the software, which I find curious for someone who works for a large gaming site.

Ok and that was his title (did I ever side with and and say OMG QQ 360 IS OVERZ). But you were so fast to state a fact that's been stated so many times, Ok I get it PS3 is in last place,but who honestly cares except fanboys and trolls.. I mean do we not know it already? Also don't assume who I know to side with because all the games im picking up with this year are gonna be for 360 bub. So If I loved sony soooooooo much and side with them allllll them time. Why did I pick up army of two, bayonetta, PAYED FOR in full for Splinter cell, bioshock, Mass effect 2, Dantes inferno and a few other games for my 360? Tell me, because apparently i'm so biased :roll:

Not only are you, well, wrong, but your math is off. If you average that by your own claims, the PS3 and Wii are tied.

Somehow I'm not surprised though, knowing you. Anything to support the 360 and bring down the PS3.

the-obiwan

why you say unreliable ? i must know

Mine's gotten rrod 4 times over the years, and just got e74 a month back.I can't vouch for the failure rate on newer models, but still, that's definately my idea of unreliable.

PC reigns gaming. Wii reigns sales. What scraps are left? Of course, this is my opinion. Also, no; to the right is the scrollbar of my browser.

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

Because Square Enix 'betrayed' their trust. :P

Well that would make sense. If the Wii has such a large user base, they only have to sell to a small percentage of that user base to top the charts, makign it actually easier for Wii games to top the sales charts. Something with the smallest user base... lets say the PS3, has to sell to a larger percentage of its userbase to top those charts. In other words, few wii owners buy a game, its a nubmer one seller, all ps3 owners buy a game and it still struggles to make it on the top spot.

Now, as for 1st 2nd 3rd place crap, this generation is not over, and even if it was nearing an end, Sony, MS, and Nintendo would never admit to it, because they don't want people to hold off on buying the curent system just to wait for the next one. Admitting the end of a generation is damaging to the sales of curent gen hardware. Even PS3's supposed 'untapped' power is no match for current PC hardware these days. 3D is already available for Nvidia users, Physx just blows all consoel physics out of the water (try batman AA on PC with full physX enabled, its like a whole new game!). MS and Sony may want their consoles to last that long, but it is really damaging to the gaming industry, by preventing new games from becomming the fully realized versions they were invisioned as, since the hardware is not capable, devs have to cut back on their games graphics and technical elements that just arent possible because of the requried processign power get left out.

Sales wise, wii is on top, 360 sells more games, and more hardware than PS3, but PS3 gets better exclusives. That doesn't make one worse than the other, but it makes them have different strengths. Best bet is to own all 3 consoles, you get the best popularity, best multiplat games, best exclusives, bragging rights, best online experience, most features, and none of the bad stuff. Based on world wide sales tho, the 360 is 2nd place and Ps3 is last place still.

vashxsk8erx12

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....

That is my favorite fanboy, my console maker blew it this gen, crybaby excuse. All MS wants is money. Yeah, Sony or Nintendo are charitable organizations, right. I own all 3 consoles, enjoy using them. The sole purpose of any corporation is turning a profit. Play games, dude. Read below.....

It's a tough pill to swallow when you had this industry by the throat, and blew it with overconfidence. The PS3 dropped it's price 7 months after launch! I never remember a quicker price drop. I own an 80 gig BC PS3 and really enjoy it, but business wise, Sony really made some bad decisions this gen. The question is: do you enjoy your games? who cares what they play on? None of these companies are cutting me a check.

Apparently none of you know what an editorial is. On a related note, when a sites reviewers are as admittedly biased as this, it's best to look somewhere else for your reviews.
