Now that MGS4 hype is over, we all agree, XBOX 360 is still king.

What else does that platform have that is even worth mentioning. Resistance and Killzone? Just two bad Halo imitations. Xbox sitll has Left 4 dead, Fable 2, Gears of War 2, Mass Effect 2, Halo wars and chronicles plus all the JRPGs for this generation are coming out exclusive for xbox such as infinite undiscovery, tales of vesperia and star oceon plus final fantasy is being released on the 360. I admitt i am looking foward to MAG, but nothing else is interesting.

There was hype for two weeks before and after the game came out. It's plainly obvious from the sales and the lack of talk around the net in general. Had no way near the amount of coverage as say Halo 2/3, Gears, or GTA4.

I don't agree. The Cell, blu ray, EDGE development tools, firmware updates, 10 year console, MGS4, free online, Japanese ingenuity, free wifi, Kojima, Team ICO, Kaz Hirai, and next gen rumble do not agree either.

All a matter of opinion. You might like Halo, well i like resistance. You might like Gears of war....we like God of war. The list goes on and on. PS3 has great games so does the 360...

I think that (at this time) it's pretty equal, what you say are 2 bad halo imitations i do not agree with.

Killzone 2-Gears of War 2 (both great games imo)

Resistance 2- Fable 2 (both pretty good games, i have to admit fable>resistance, have fun with it)

And about left 4 dead, i don't think that game is even comparible to the other four already mentioned.

but after all, it remains something of feel, about what you think that's important of a console. For example, i'm not a big community guy, so i don't need an xbox, becouse i feel good enough with a PS3 on the online functions. I DO want a blu-ray player, for movies etc. which an Xbox does not have. But you might think of this reversed. All a matter of prefferation.

I made this list of majour ps3 exclusives a little while ago, check my blog for the 360's exclusives.

anyway, my point is, imo the ps3 has a way better lineup. But this does not even include other games such as heavy rain yet.

"Still king"? Sorry but a Game Informer article earlier this year proved that the PS3 has the best overall library ratings-wise. And with MGS4 being exclusive, nearly every other game being multiplat, and the floptastic Too Human, I doubt that has changed. The article is here: http://gameinformer.com/News/Story/200801/N08.0111.1808.50734.htm

I can't make a statement on that until my so-called "King" is back from it's quarterly repair. As a owner of all the systems, I can say the Xbox may have an overall better library of games (at the moment) but since I can only play them when the system ACTUALLY WORKS, it definately makes it far from a king. I am just glad I have other systems (which I have had longer and never had problems with!) to play during those ridiculous turn around times on my repairs!

Don't forget L4D really isn't exclusive. Lemmings can't even use the "gaming PCs are expensive" argument considering almost any PC purchased since 2004 will run the game.

What else does that platform have that is even worth mentioning. Resistance and Killzone? Just two bad Halo imitations. Xbox sitll has Left 4 dead, Fable 2, Gears of War 2, Mass Effect 2, Halo wars and chronicles plus all the JRPGs for this generation are coming out exclusive for xbox such as infinite undiscovery, tales of vesperia and star oceon plus final fantasy is being released on the 360. I admitt i am looking foward to MAG, but nothing else is interesting.

sallyboy233

You are a blind fanboy. I think both systems rock and Halo was a rip of of first person shooters that existed prior to its release. PS3 owners have more to look forward to in regards to exclusive content for the PS3 than that of the 360. It does not change the fact that the 360 has great games comming out.

Dont forget that Gears and Mass Effect 2 will both be PC bound and will be better on PC.

This is what I don,t like about Xbox fan, they act like all the games should go to their systemcause other sytems suck. And every other FPS that comes out on other systems are all halo imitations but that's not true. And you only mentionned two games of PS3 but there is like 12 games coming out this year man ! BTW in all the games you said only like 3 looks good. Left 4 dead will suck.

Yah, sorry, no. The PS3 has higher combined sales this year than the 360 does and will most likely continue and extend that through the next few years. Good luck though!

Overall it's still my go to system of choice. The PS3, right now, still couldn't satisfy me on it's own, due to the lack of any good JRPGs on it. But it's getting really close to being, you know, an actual Playstation, as opposed to a watered down X360 wannabe. The fact that it's leading the way on digital distribution is a factor in it's favor as well. Hopefully, that avenue can help end the JRPG drought via more downloadable classic games one day.

I just have to say one thing and how the hell is GRID better on the PS3 its a jag fest compared to the 360 at least on my 1080p TV it is because it is only 720 on PS3 but the 360 upscales it to 1080p (unlike the PS3 that doesnt have that capability) so it looks much better on the 360 its the same with all multiplats. PS3 equals jaggies its fine if you only have a 720 TV though.

PC is king and always will be. :)

That being said, MGS4 was very underwhelming to me. Beat and was just very meh. Multiplayer was pretty decent but it wasn't worth the wait. IMO. Hype definitely got it some scores. People bash it because there isn't much gameplay and, in reality, they're right. Don't get me wrong, i like the story, but it's so drawn out that it cuts down the gameplay immensely. idk, maybe that's just me.

I hate both ps3 and xbox360, but I prefer the ps3 over the 360 after trying both at different friends' houses.McJugga

at first i liked to 360 more. But the majority of my friends liked the ps3. You have to get into the console to know which one you like better.

So MGS4 made PS3 king? Because it was an exclusive 10? By that logic, 360 isn't king again because they don't have an exclusive 10.
