No console is going to win this war?

I have a 360. I think the ps3 is slightly more powerful and a complete package with blu-ray. I think the 360 has just as good games. Better downloadable content and online stuff and most of the games run really well on it where the ps3 stuff sometimes has some quirks as far as multiplats although the gap has gotten closer as developers have gotten ahold of the hardware. Exclusives are a wash imo. It really depends on what you want. The 360 you have to pay for online and you get a better experience imo. The ps3 is free. The ps3 is $100 more. I might have to swap discs on the 360. Who cares. I can watch bluray on my ps3. The 360 has downloadable hd content. Both have motion controllers coming someday. Who knows if this stuff will even be a factor on these systems this gen. Nintendo seems to have a huge headstart on that stuff this gen. I think in future generations the 360's motion system looks better. So that might play a role down the road.

If you look at the games coming out. The most impressive to me are

The 360

Alan Wake

MAss Effect 2

Forza 3

Splinter Cell

halo odst/reach

plus others not as good to me lik eleft4dead2, crackdown 2, etc....

The ps3

Uncharted 2

God of War III

Ratchet

GT5

plus others like HEavy Rain, The last guardian coming etc..

The 360 seems to be a bit quicker with the games i give them that. Both systems have the big multiplats like Final Fantasy and World at War.. Bioshock 2. lost planet 2 although that's timed on the 360 i think.. The ps3's games are more exclusive. Both systems have impressive games graphically. I went into this before. I do think the ps3 is capable of slightly more but they are really close. What we are going to see is the 360 release something that looks better than anything, then the ps3 release games that match it or one up it. But i think these systems both are pretty much reaching their peak at this point where they are taking advantage of the hardware now. I do think the ps3 might be able to squeak a little more out of it if developers really delve into it, but we are seeing pretty much what we have now.

You're right the PC already won.nmaharg

i would agree with that, although that has it's own issues .

i agree nintendo wins by default because it's the cheapest and came out with something new first. The wiimote. But from a gamer perspective it doesn't really win either imo. It's a gadget.

it's pretty gotten to that point. I honestly believe im sticking with the 360 through this entire gen and don't really care anymore. The 360 is the best to me because I own it and it has the games i want. I was hoping sony would do something that would really up the anti but they haven't. The ps3 is no better than the 360 and won't be. It has slightly prettier graphics in some of their games and even that is debatable.

the ps3 pissed me off to be honest. I bought one, because i thought it would be better. it was in some regards but it wasn't in others. i returned it and got another 360 and lost money in the process. I don't think i will get another ps3 now. They kind of pissed me off.

PS3 - Quality Exclusives and is gaining dev support but cost too much and is in last place (sales wise)

360- Biggest HD Library and the cheapest console yet doesn't outsell wii

wii - sells the most software and hardware yet get criticized for lack of good 3rd party games.

IDK wouldnt this be the first gen when the highest selling console doesn't have the best games... the last few gens u could pretty much have an unanimous winner but its something different this time around

What do you mean no console wins? Wii already won.

in sales yes. But everyone has different preferences. To me the wii is completely irrelevant. the 360 won to me if i really have to pick a winner. But to someone else you probably will get a completely different answer.

Well, this is system wars, not Walker34 wars. And in system wars, the winner is the one with the most market share.

I agree they are winning the war. Sales says that. Nintendo won. But the fact is it is irrelevant to me. They didn't win with me. I didn't spend any money on a wii. lol.

Wii will win sales war, PS3 and 360 are a close race for library.

with all the amazing titles coming out on all systems (incl handhelds) i'm too busy playing games rather than sales :)

Splinter Cell is timed exclusive. QUOTE ME!

Ask Nintendo who won the console war. Oh no wait they're busy swimming in gold ask later.desmondsultanas

Only you can decide which console/system is better based on your preferences for its exclusives.

/system wars

They all win. There all successful. There all making money.

Well ok Sony isn;t making money and isn't successful but it's getting there..by the end of this gen it'll have turned a profit.

Nintendo is decisively winning this gen so far.

But in the Business World, both the Wii and X360 could easily be considered "winners" in this gen. Both consoles have expanded their marketshare from last gen, increased developer support, and (mainly pertaining to MS) become profitable.

The only "loser" of this gen would have to bethe PS3. At this point, the PS3 will be lucky to retain 50% of the PS2's marketshare, let alone the mindshare among gamers and developers. ABout the only victory the PS3 can claim is helping blu-ray win the HD War.
