Is the Xbox 360 the true epitome of Cognitive Dissonance?

There is not one thing positive about owning one.

But- those same games are available elsewhere.

You're right, everyone sell your Xbox, and get a gaming PC, now that I think about it, no reason to own a PS3, everyone sell your PS3s and get a gaming PC.

Same can be said for the PS3 besides a small handful of exclusives (less than the 360).

The PS3 has less exclusives than the Xbox 360? That's news to me.

I guess that means 360 owners can't play them.

No, it means there would be no need to own an Xbox 360 when there are better options out there.

"Better option" is an opinion, and one that a big chunk consumers dont appear to share with you.

Crysis 2 looks like it will become console graphics king and most multiplats look better on 360...

its the same with the PS3 though. the PC is all you need. sure PS3 had lots of exclusives, but there all mediocre and not on par with PC games. purePCgamer

And the PS3 is still missing the exclusive library of the PC. Which I imagine is far more varied and overall better.

PC, plus i think a PS2 for unique RPGs, and Action - Hack 'n Slash games is well worth it. Add a Wii for diversity's sake, and you're set. PS3 is.. well, the exclusive lineup is pretty nice for 2010, and 2011, add console exclusives such as Bayonetta, the obvious choice is the PS3, to get these days.

As for the topic at hand, i agree that the 360 is garbage these days. Multiplats are only worth it on the PC were everything is superior. The exclusives in 2010 for the 360 were mediocre trash except for Reach and one Kinect(lmao) game, and 2011 has barely anything except for a couple of games.

So yeah, 360 is on life support, but the casual market for kinect games will keep it alive, and inferior, blurry messes of multiplats, 90% consisting of shooters.

It's funny how you can't quantify that.

IGN breaks it down for you-

:cry: p-p-people do-oh-oon't like th th th same th th things th-ah-ah-at iiiiiiiii dooo!!!! whaaaaaa! :cry:

The large library of great games... the incredibly well-managed and streamlined online community... a solid gamepad that facilitates better control of games (the only real problem I have with it is the horrible d-pad)... XBLA providing experiences that aren't available elsewhere... a fairly big independent market that has some great;y innovative ideas...

Actually, there are a lot of reasons to own a 360. Unless one is a hardcore PS fanboy who refuses to play anything else other than Sony products/games. The biggest "cognitive dissonance" of gaming was Sega in the late 1990's releasing the 32X, Saturn and Dreamcast all around the same time and trying to support them all. Clearly the TC doesn't even understand what the term used means.

Accept it, they both have their strenghts and weaknesses, an neither is clearly superior than the other.

That's cool, too bad most multiplats are still looking better on 360. And if you care so much about Hardware then get a pc, it puts consoles to shame.

Now this time, no more joking for me. Why don't you list the reasons one would own a 360 over a full fledged PC, so we can have a little debate for boredom's sake, blackace.
