Keep my 360?

I've owned my 360 since launch (well, not the original one. It RRoDed, and so did 4 of it's replacements). Except for the hardware issues, I've enjoyed it. A couple Christmases ago, I picked up a PS3 primarily as a Blu-Ray player and to play games like MLB: The Show and Metal Gear Solid second. Now, the PS3 is my main gaming system and I have to say I'm more interested in what's releasing on it in the next couple years than what will show up on the 360.

This is kind of a t(l)ame System Wars post, but for the 360 diehards, what exclusive games are on the horizon that really keep you hanging on to that system? What about the next Microsoft system? Do you think Halo: Reach is the last Halo franchise game to appear on this generation? Same for Gears 3?

Thoughts?

yes they are

Sell the 360 and buy games for your PS3 that will beat the 360 single-handedly (like LBP2, GT5, God of War 3, Demon's Souls etc.).
Buy an additional game per year with the money you save by not having a XBL subscription anymore.

Up to you on what games you like. Remember the PC/360 multiplats if you don't have a gaming PC, such as Mass Effect 2 and Fable III.

I always prefer not to sell a system, as often I find something after that I want to play.

I'm not keeping the 360 primarily for the exclusives. I keep it for both multiplats AND the exclusives. PS3 is an exclusives-only console for me unless the PS3 version of a multiplat is getting some cool exclusive bonuses. (like Dead Space 2)

lately the PS3 is definitely has been releasing more games to my liking.

but mass effect and fable games are enough to keep me from ever considering to sell my 360. Also im looking forward to another splinter cell, since conviction had awesome gameplay mechanics... the game just seemed too short and needed more a fleshed out online experience. But the revamped gameplay has me really excited for a sequel.

plus there is the added benefit of better looking multiplats... and better online service. I honestly wouldnt consider selling my 360 or my ps3. My wii... i might sell and buy kinect though.

halo reach alone will make your 360 your new main system. your not going to want to stop playing. unless you have no taste in games what so ever

It has like no exclusives announced for the future, according to lemming logic of course. However it does have reach, gears and the new crytek game has exclusive.. I'd keep it around for the new crytek game.

Why do people always come here for this type of advise? For instance, I would say keep your Xbox and sell your PS3, that's what I would do if I had the chance. Was that helpful?thepoop7

Exactly. Plus System Wars users have alot of biases when it comes to suggestions, so you won't really get anywhere if you ask for one here. Oh and to answer the OP's question, just keep it. You won't get much in return at this point in the Xbox's lifespan plus there might be a few exclusives in the future to your liking.
