No consumer in his or her right mind would purchase a xbox 360.

[QUOTE="Swiftie101"]

Okay LegendofYaslint. You clearly have no understanding of what is going on here. The "logic" in the original post was suppose to be flawed. It was written so that a Cow would agree with it. Here is a simple summary for your simple mind to comprehend.

Me: There's no reason to buy 360, all the games are on PC!

Cow: Words of truth.

Me: But its outselling the PS3, which must mean its (PS3)utterly worthless

Do you see how simple it is? There is no "logic" involved, just common sense.

LegendofYaslint

LOL, this is pathetic.

OK, first of all, I understand what you tried to do here. I missed your post explaining your sarcasm the first time through of course, hence my first post.

When I said your logic is flawed, it was b/c your attempt to guise ownage is flawed.

Just b/c the 360 is outselling the PS3 does not make it worthless. If you like the exclusives on the PS3 more than the 360 then it is not worthless, or if you love watching bluray movies.

I'm not here to defend the PS3, but your logic of it being worthless due to sales is simply flawed, or rather poor logic as it were.

Common sense, far from it sir.

NOW do you understand my point?

So Cowsagree that there is no reason for a X-box purchase (which was suppose to be shown within the tread, but it didn't work out), yet the X-box outsells the PS3. Tell me, what does that mean to you?

[QUOTE="LegendofYaslint"][QUOTE="Swiftie101"][QUOTE="LegendofYaslint"][QUOTE="Swiftie101"]

Sigh. I guess some of you guys are just illiterate or something. So, I'll say it again:

The purpose of this tread is not to bash Lemmings or start a flame war. I was hoping that some Cow would agree with my post and my assertion that the 360 is worthless. Then, I would just point out that the 360 continues to outsell the PS3, making the PS3 absolutely worthless. Of course, no one said that so I wanted to end the tread on the second page in the hope that this wouldn't spiral out of control. There are too many treads in which Cows proclaim that there is no need for a 360. This tread was made with the purpose of shutting them up. Next time, read the entire tread.....

Some of you guys make me ashamed to be a Lemming.

Swiftie101

You should be ashamed, but not of that.

1. It's not on page 2, it's on page 3, so I guess you just don't know how to count (see how stupid that sounds...)

2. Your logic in this thread is total crap, sales having anything to do w/ value is pointless unless it's discontinued.

1. Its actually on the second and third page. I was trying to make life easier for you by only pointing it out on the second, but I guess illiteracy stood in the way.

2. What are you trying to say here, please explain yourself, and make sure it has something to do with what I said.

I checked twice, and it's not on the second page for me, only on the thrid page. either my settings are screwed or YOU are making the mistake. Either way, you are wrong by assumption.

Illiteracy? My 2 degrees and honors laugh in your face. Try harder kid.

Honestly. Despite some of the stupidity on this board, I'm pretty sure everyone knows how to count. I could care less what you have, maybe you should show it by putting some quality in your writing instead of using words like "total crap". You think I should try harder? I'm not throwing around worthless insults like "you don't know how to count".

Not on page 2 for me, sorry buddy.

OMFG, did you not read the "(see how stupid that sounds)" part right after the counting remark??? I was being sarcastic.You know, you say I can't read so I sayyou can't count....get it??? It wasn't an actual insult.

Swiftie101, you do know that a PC can be upgraded consistantlyand an XBox 360 can't right? Your point holds no merit because of that reason alone. If you were comparing the PC to a MAC or a Sun/Unix server, then that would actually make some sense. I get tired of PC gamers keep saying the PC is superior, which is obvious since it can be upgraded with better techonology every year. You'd have to be a complete idiot not to know this.The PC is superior to the game consoles because it gets new technology consistently and game consoles don't. :roll: Stop comparing PC's to game consoles. You can't compare the 2 platforms at all. When I can start upgrading my game consoles's CPU, GPU, RAM, motherboard, sound card and everything else each year, then we can compare PC's to game consoles. Nuff said.

Casual consumers would rather buy a game console then deal with trying to get games to run on their PC's. Running games on a game console is very simple and most casual like that. They don't have to worry about specs, graphics cards, RAM or anything else. It's just plug and play.

blackace

I've been having this same argument all day with hermits. You just CAN'T tell them that there's any reason not to own a gaming PC, because their entire gaming existence is based around the idea that the PC is all-mighty and superior in every conceivable way to all gaming consoles. Nevermind the fact that some people don't enjoy using their PC to game ("how dare they! they must be stupid computer-illiterate n00bs!"), nevermind that some people actually prefer console games to PC games ("wtf? PC has more AAAs, are you a stupid n00b? who likes Japanese games anyway? HL2 and Starcraft are better than all your console games, anyone who disagrees is a...n00b!!!!"), and nevermind the fact that some people don't have any desire to connect their PC to their TV, but would still like to play games in their living room ("lahlz @ casuals who think you can't hook a PC up to a TV"). There are plenty of reasons people don't like gaming on the PC (upgrading and upkeep of the PC being two of them), but hermits just will never get it.

Wait! I'll tell you! It means that cows should stop proclaiming that there is no reason for a X-box purchase, since that quote works against them due to the fact that 360 outsells PS3.Swiftie101

you mean in USA alone don't u? because the PS3 just did outsell 360 worldwide last month.

Well in all honesty, Cows have a point. The ONLY problem with that logic is it would cost you SO much to go that route. You would have to invest in at least a half decent PC, let's say $800, plus another $500 on the PS3. That's $1300 compared to $400. Now I realise 360 does have some good exclusives and especially timed ones but in reality all of 360's best games do seem to go to the PC if your patient enough to wait. I'm just happy to have a system I can afford with the games I want to play, regardless of whether or not they appear somewhere else ;)

[QUOTE="PS3_3DO"]

The PS2 had hardware problems too but that didn't stop it from selling over 125 million systems. There are no good fighting games like Tekken, VF5, or DOA games on the PC. No good action games like NG or MGS4 on the PC either. Sport games are better on the Consoles too IMO.

SambaLele

those issues didn't hurt the ps2 sales that much because it was an issue only for the launch units. were you a gamer back then? you should remember it.

Dude the PS2 had trouble for years before Sony finally got them right. It's wasn't just the launch units that had problems. Yes I was a gamer back then almost bought a PS2 but got an Xbox instead. :D

2007 # of PC AAA titles: 4 AA titles: 11

2007 # of XBox 360 AAA titles: 3 AA titles: 13

Not all that much better.

If you take out expansion packs the PC only has one exclusive AAA. C&C is on the 360 too.

doesn't look like it. me and about 10 friends bought the PS2 one year after it's launch. no one had any problems with the console. i bought gaming magazines monthly back then and none had ever an article about those hardware issues, yet, there were articles about it in the magazines from the launch time and a few months after. now, if you and about 10 friends buy a 360, it's almost impossible that not one get a 3rls. so, even if there were issues by the time i bought my PS2, it was not in the level it is with the 360 to hurt sales.

i'd rather have a high-end PC and a PS3 than a high-end PC and a 360... the first choice you get to play more exclusives in a matter of total of titles. that's what's more important, at least to me.

No crap, but did I say that? No, and surely you are not foolish enough to think that all Cows suddenly own gaming rigs along w/ their PS3s???

A 360 by itself is more than enough AAA and AA games to make most people happy, and for less money and the big bonus of renting most games instead of buying them.

I own a nice PC, 360, and eventually will get a PS3 (probably late '08), but the whole "also on PC" argument would only be valid ifthe majority of all cowsactually owned nice PC gaming rigs.

that is the flaw in your argument that I have been addressing. There is a big difference between having a good reason and thinking you have a good reason.

But that's just my view.

I honestly don't really care anymore for this debate as it has grown stale and it's not getting any more interesting.

Later.

Microsoft's X-box 360 is clearly the worst choice a consumer who wants to play video games could make. The lack of quality games exclusive to this system is astounding.The PC, a far more advanced piece of technology, can not only play the best of X-box games, but also run them with improved visuals and higher frame rates. Even though the X-box features the amazing Halo 3, one can be positive that the finer version will arrive on PC sooner or later. Also, very few people will actually care about Halo 3 on its destined release date; the Crysis demo, with enhanced graphics and gameplay, will seep out Halo's awe-inspiring effect. Gears of War, one of the X-box's most touted titles, makes its appearance on the PC with the entire campaign, not just a portion of it. Another exalted game can also be enjoyed on the PC with better graphics and framerate: BioShock. Even if the PC had a dearth of games, consumers can be sure that they made the right choice by obtaining a PC just by judging the quality of the hardware.

The "lack of quality games"? If I am not mistaken, 7 AAA's, 54 AA's, and 76 A's. In just a year and 3/4. Next, you say that "Very few" people will actually care about Halo 3 on it's release date. That is simply moronic. You call it stupid, but in the next sentence you call it "Awe inspiring". Just because Crysis has great graphics does not mean it will have great gameplay. While your disgruntled hermit view may be correct in your mind, many people will buy Halo 3, and many people do not have enough money to spend on PC upgrades to play Crysis.

A computer is not susceptible to the infamous three red rings of death syndrome that makes a common appearance on the X-box 360.It can easily last over six years without any hardware issues, unless the owner is semi-retarded and pours Sprite into the system. On the other hand, a X-box will need to be replaced every six months. There are some lucky ones who make it past that time period, but many of them are almost "anticipating" the insufferable moment. In fact, owners of X-boxes that have survived for a year like to show off the fact to others, and then pray that their hardware will just last a little longer. Such intolerable problems are quite rare on a computer.

*cough* DELL *cough*. Sure the 360 may have the RRoD problem, but Microsoft gave me a full refund for all of my expenses, past and future, and also gave me a 3 year warranty. The PC would be great if it lasted for six years, but if I want to play games "better" with a better framrate and graphics, I will need to upgrade every 1.5 years. Which will cost me more than my console. I have had my box since launch, and I have NEVER had a scratched disc, or the infamous RRoD.

The X-box also lacks the pliability of the PC, which can be made to fit your lifestyle. It can print documents, make power-points, surf the internet, organize data, create 3D art, manipulate photos, and so forth. The amount of features to be found on a computer seems endless, especially compared to those on a X-box.

NO CRAP! Consoles are for gaming... not for spreadsheets. That's why I own a PC... TO PWN FANBOYS LIKE YOU!

It is fairly obvious that a PC provides for a superior experience and fulfills whatever needs that may be aching at your stomach. There is simply no reason to buy a X-box.

If you have money to spend on your PC to have the best graphics year after year, GO AHEAD, but for the rest of the average person, I have different priorities... Gaming is one of my priorities, but I would simply not have enough money to upgrade my computer, so instead I am extremely pleased with my xbox 360. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Even though the X-box features the amazing Halo 3, one can be positive that the finer version will arrive on PC sooner or later. Also, very few people will actually care about Halo 3 on its destined release date; the Crysis demo, with enhanced graphics and gameplay, will seep out Halo's awe-inspiring effect. Gears of War, one of the X-box's most touted titles, makes its appearance on the PC with the entire campaign, not just a portion of it. Another exalted game can also be enjoyed on the PC with better graphics and framerate: BioShock. Even if the PC had a dearth of games, consumers can be sure that they made the right choice by obtaining a PC just by judging the quality of the hardware.

A computer is not susceptible to the infamous three red rings of death syndrome that makes a common appearance on the X-box 360. It can easily last over six years without any hardware issues, unless the owner is semi-retarded and pours Sprite into the system. On the other hand, a X-box will need to be replaced every six months. There are some lucky ones who make it past that time period, but many of them are almost "anticipating" the insufferable moment. In fact, owners of X-boxes that have survived for a year like to show off the fact to others, and then pray that their hardware will just last a little longer. Such intolerable problems are quite rare on a computer.

The X-box also lacks the pliability of the PC, which can be made to fit your lifestyle. It can print documents, make power-points, surf the internet, organize data, create 3D art, manipulate photos, and so forth. The amount of features to be found on a computer seems endless, especially compared to those on a X-box.

It is fairly obvious that a PC provides for a superior experience and fulfills whatever needs that may be aching at your stomach. There is simply no reason to buy a X-box.

Hey, smarty, its "Xbox" NOT "X-box".

Why do the games have to be 100% exclusive to the system for it to warrant a purchase? The fact is, there are TONS of great games available to play on the XBOX 360. Plus, you can do so for a fraction the cost of the "pliable PC".

I used to be a PC gamer. Hated it. Now a console gamer. Lovin' it. Your argument fails.

Maybe you should read the entire tread before posting next time, smarty, instead of wasting your time like almost everyone else here.

Seems to me that reading the ENTIRE post would be a waste of time in itself, wouldn't it? You posted something. I replied to it. Why do I need to read this entire mass of dribble in order to reply to your first post?

I have a PC and a 360. I'm very happy with both purchases as they both have outstanding games. I will never understand why people limit themselves to one system.myke2010

Ummm, I don't know - maybe money?
