Is the Xbox 360 the true epitome of Cognitive Dissonance?

[QUOTE="blackace"][QUOTE="Solquid_Snake"]

Which other publications have the Xbox 360 winning? I'd like to see them.

1st of all, the Harmonix dev did not supply a breakdown and pretty much said "the PS3 is not much stronger" (which still means it is stronger anyway).

2nd of all, your IGN article was posted a YEAR before the PS3 was released, and it was posted when Sony was still going with the boomerang controller. Statistics changed.

Did GameSpot supply a broken-down analysis of both systems' specifications? No? Then I'd like you to tell me how we'd be able to make the comparison without it.

Same thing as the Harmonix dev- he didn't supply a breakdown as to why it was/wasn't better.

It's easier to develop for him, that's for sure.

[QUOTE="MonsieurX"]PS3 not much strong = stronger anyway? Where's the logic? :|MonsieurX

Well, with your logic, then 0.1 /> 0.0

Nope. I never once said that. I supplied an article that quantified how much the PS3 is better than the Xbox 360 instead.

I can think of one really good reason for owning one: the games. Claiming there are no great exclusives for the console is ridiculous. Claiming you can get those games on other consoles is also ridiculous. If nothing on the 360 appeals to you and you would rather stick with just the PS3, that's fine, but others are going to feel differently. They're not going to be wrong for thinking so.

I'm not going to downplay the Playstation 3, as I also think the console is worth owning and it too, has plenty of great exclusives available.

But- those same games are available elsewhere.

Solquid_Snake

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.

It's a good console for console multiplats and has some solid exclusives.

anyone ever notice how the ps3 dudes are not angry at sony for making a hard to dev for console, having a half-***ed online system, being a joke for the first 2.5 years, not delivering on hype and the hubris that brought sony to the state they are now in?

nope! it's your fault you dirty no taste 360 owners, just look at you.... all cognitive dissassociating all over you-selves!!! it's a disgrace! and it's gonna leave a stain!

have you ever tried to get cognitive dissonance out of the carpet???? gawd!

Cognitive Dissonance really?

360's a great system.

No matter what way people try to spin it.

The ability to play all the great games on it, ofc you'd realise this if you werent a big ole' fanboy.

i just came in to see what the 2 words cognitive, n dissonance mean lol. i don't even think the TC knows though smh...i wonder if he got them from a thesaurus or a word of the day calendar.

Yep, only one reason: games.

Playstation 3? Only one reason: Blu-ray Movies.

I own one, only got it for exclusive xbox games tho.

What an extremely objectively appealing list of games :lol:

There is not one thing positive about owning one.

Solquid_Snake

Sure there is. Games.

[QUOTE="Mozelleple112"][QUOTE="blackace"] Not all of them. Halo, Forza 4, PGR3 & 4, Perfect Dark Zero, Lost Odyssey, Ace Combat 6, Mass Effect, Dance Central, Kinect Sports, Kameo, Shadow Complex and dozens of other titles can only be played on XBox 360. antifanboyftw

What an extremely objectively appealing list of games :lol:

I don't know what "cognitive dissonance" means.

Mozelleple112

Yeah, not the greatest list I've seen. How about this:

Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, Alan Wake, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Blue Dragon, Crackdown, Dance Central, Deathsmiles, Dead Rising, Fable II, Forza Motorsport 2 & 3, Gears of War 2, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, Halo Wars, Kameo: Elements of Power, LIMBO, Lost Odyssey, Perfect Dark Zero, Project Gotham Racing 3 & 4 and Shadow Complex.

A nice selection of exclusives that scored at least 75 or higher on Metacritic. While they may not appeal to you, they seem to all be games that several people enjoyed thoroughly.
