I love how cows complain, this really eats at them. Some facts i've seen on this thread:

-Wii was released at the same time as PS3, its not behind in sales.

-360 owners didn't have to rebuy a console, they got free ones if they got RROD, and those aren't included in sold units, they're actually a loss to MS.

-The gap is widening, meaning that month to month sales of the 360 is increasing over that of the PS3.

-Xbox brand was only in the console race for 3 years before outing the 360 and blasting Sony (a 10 year gaming vetran) to last place.

It also makes me laugh how cows will bend some information using forms of math and long division that try to put their cherished ps3 in better light. Guys, it just plain hasn't sold more units than the 360 brand. Deal with it, and this is for you:

Yes, and if you were around SW back then, you'd know that. Even at that ridiculous price it was almost SW fact that the PS3 would do better than the 360 according to some people.

but the PS3 IS better.. look at the games!

Better? Is that why the gap has WIDENED? Sheesh, you people never give up.

It's one of the reasons why I bought a PS3 it and sold the Xbox 360.

1st party support is important too, you know.

Another important point is making sure that I am getting the complete experience in multiplatform games.

Cows at the beginning of this gen

600 bucks. Its ok the PS3 is awesome and will outsell the 360 in one year...........just wait.

now.

Its pretty impressive that Sony is still dead last because of all the adversities they had to overcome that were the result of their incompetence and no one elses.

Did I miss anything?

360 came into this gen by discontinuing the original xbox and now xbox live is a synonym for online console gaming.

But lets continue to give sony all the credit for not going bankrupt. Hats off to you Sony. Setting the bar real low.

Multiplatform titles such as Portal 2 give me a hell of a better deal on the PS3 than they would on the Xbox 360. Buying the Xbox 360 version would make me a fool.

No, I like having more options. Having multiplatform titles as the only option is great and all, but I'd rather take those (with extra content) and an exclusive library.

As for the first party games.. you sold it in Nov 2010, correct? So:

Didn't you say you were a PC gamer? :? No 1st party there and it has a much more proficient and varied library than any console.

No, but it plays Halo, Gears, Forza Fable. It has the better interface, better multiplats, better online. XBL doesn't crash every now and then. It has never one down for a MONTH, and our credit card info has never been leaked. Below the belt, I know, but I couldn't help it.

I can't stand Sony with a passion and I've made that clear.

But I am a gamer. That is my hobby. I play video games. If Microsoft isn't supplying, and nobody is demanding, I'll go elsewhere.

And so far, the PlayStation 3 has been giving me a better experience than what I had with the Xbox 360.

And how does me missing out on Full House Poker or a Flash-based game make it wrong to jump ship?

ilomilo is on Windows Phone, FYI.

I have already played Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable. I am talking about upcoming. And most of those are also available on my PC if I ever choose to go back to them (but multiplayer would be the only reason).

Multiplats have been better on PS3 this whole year.

PSN being down for 3 weeks, isn't below the belt; I don't pay for the service. Although, back when I was paying $50+ tax for Xbox Live, I expereinced down time that was a bit annoying since, you know, I paid for the service and all.

The interface is the only thing that I miss, those drop-down menus on the PS3's dash are horrendous. But since I play video games and don't want to stare at advertisements for men's aftershave all day, it's no big deal.

Ok bro you have different tastes in games. Like I said in another one of your posts that I replied to. Here is a link to the spreedsheet The PS3 is not crushing the 360 as far as exclusives in fact they are basicly tied. Also the 360 has more AAA,AA and A games. So the 360 has a better library as far as scores go and more games in general also. If you add in the XBL and PSN games it gets even worse for the PS3 since the 360 does better there also. You can like what ever games you like but anyone that acts like the 360 does not have a lot of great games just sounds like fanboy talk. There is a difference between games you do not enjoy and games that are just not good.

[QUOTE="RecklessTortuga"][QUOTE="daledoback"]

People forget about the format war. When Warner Bros announced Blu-ray exclusive that SKY ROCKETED PS3s soley for Blu-ray. Look at the numbers from that time period. Look at all the movie forums such as AVS, HighDefForums, etc. Hell, that's when I bought one. And when I did buy it I bought 8 Blu-ray movies and not one game for it. Any cow telling you otherwise is in complete denial or just wasnt around/paying attention during the format war.

daledoback

Why should it matter what people bought their PS3 for...? Do you honestly not think it was in Sony's original interest to promote blue/ray through PS3? Of course, a lot of people probably bought a PS3 because of blue/ray because, it was a bargin; Not to mention you were also getting a gaming console on top of that purchase; I mean, if you only bought a PS3 for blue/ray, why wouldn't you just had gone out and purchased a regular blue/ray player for the same price??? So for anyone to say, they didn't purchase a PS3 because of those two factors is completely in denial...!!! It's a stupid way of thinking in general; That would be like me saying, I only bought a Xbox 360 for the DVD functionality...

First, its BLU-RAY not blue/ray. Second, and by the way your post is completley proving my point, the PS3 was the most powerful,most cost effective (future proof) Blu-ray player on the market at the time, fact. Sure, in 2011 it's not like that anymore.

Still in denial? Explain the attach rates, ESPECIALLY during this time period (2007 - 2008). People were just buying PS3s and not playing them...hmmm...wondering what they were doing with them? Do your homework before you come at me kid.

First of all, I don't care if I spell it (BLUERAY), (Blue/Ray), (Blue-Ray), or (BR), what difference does it make??? Splitting-hairs doesn't win you an argument with me, brah! Second, I'm gonna "come at you" because your views are opinion based; Just because you spent $600 on a gaming console just for it's drive doesn't mean everyone else did; I'm just sayin, not everyone was that stupid...! I'm just saying, it was a bargin because, anyone who was smart about purchasing something, knew they were "hitting two birds with one stone". Regardless of your views on Sony, PS3, or "Blue-ray", it doesn't change the fact that you basically wasted money on a gaming console for it's internal peripheral... Do you honestly think, it makes a difference to me, Sony, PS3 fanboys, why you purchased a PS3??? Fact of the matter is, Sony has your money; They could careless what you do with it after that! ...so, yea, I'm coming at you!!!

Ok bro you have different tastes in games. Like I said in another one of your posts that I replied to. Here is a link to the spreedsheet The PS3 is not crushing the 360 as far as exclusives in fact they are basicly tied.

How does mentioning old games make it better? I'm talking about future support.

I've played and beaten what I was interested in already on the Xbox 360; it's now time for me to look at future releases and there are only 2 that I would have purchased if I kept my Xbox 360: Forza Motorsport 4 and Gears of War 3.

Now explain to me how that is any different in "taste" than what you guys have been spouting on this forum?

Or are you ging to tell me that once Upon a Monster is a AAA exclusive?

[QUOTE="khoofia_pika"][QUOTE="GameShtopper"]

Better? Does it play LittleBigPlanet 2? SOCOM 4?

GameShtopper

No, but it plays Halo, Gears, Forza Fable. It has the better interface, better multiplats, better online. XBL doesn't crash every now and then. It has never one down for a MONTH, and our credit card info has never been leaked. Below the belt, I know, but I couldn't help it.

I have already played Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable. I am talking about upcoming. And most of those are also available on my PC if I ever choose to go back to them (but multiplayer would be the only reason).

Multiplats have been better on PS3 this whole year.

PSN being down for 3 weeks, isn't below the belt; I don't pay for the service. Although, back when I was paying $50+ tax for Xbox Live, I expereinced down time that was a bit annoying since, you know, I paid for the service and all.

The interface is the only thing that I miss, those drop-down menus on the PS3's dash are horrendous. But since I play video games and don't want to stare at advertisements for men's aftershave all day, it's no big deal.

Gears 2 is not on the PC. Halo 3 and Reach are not on the PC. Fable II is not on the PC. Neither of the Forzas are on the PC. And yes, even if you're talking about upcoming, I can play Forza, Halo and Gears on my 360.

Multiplats have constantly been better on the 360-

LA Noire's Metascore- 90 on the 360 and 89 on the PS3

DiRT 3's Metascore- 89 for 360, 88 for PS3

Dead Space 2's Metascore- 90 on the 360, 89 on the PS3

Mortal Kombat's Metascore- 86 on the 360, 84 on the PS3

Fight Night Champion's Metascore- 86 on the 360, 84 on the PS3

Shift 2: Unleashed Metascore- 82 on the 360, 81 on the PS3

Marvel vs Capcom 3's Metascore- 85 on the 360, 84 on the PS3

Top Spin 4's Metascore- 84 on the 360, 82 on the PS3

ALL these games are higher rated on the 360. And this is AFTER considering the fact that the PS3 versions have lesser number of reviews. The only multiplatform this year that has a higher score on the PS3 is Crysis 2. Even Portal 2, which was supposed to be best on the PS3, has the same Metascore on both the systems. So that argument of yours fails. Hard.

XBL is far better than PSN. There shouldn't even be an argument here. :?

I love how cows complain, this really eats at them. Some facts i've seen on this thread:

-Wii was released at the same time as PS3, its not behind in sales.

-360 owners didn't have to rebuy a console, they got free ones if they got RROD, and those aren't included in sold units, they're actually a loss to MS.

-The gap is widening, meaning that month to month sales of the 360 is increasing over that of the PS3.

-Xbox brand was only in the console race for 3 years before outing the 360 and blasting Sony (a 10 year gaming vetran) to last place.

It also makes me laugh how cows will bend some information using forms of math and long division that try to put their cherished ps3 in better light. Guys, it just plain hasn't sold more units than the 360 brand. Deal with it, and this is for you:

Seems like lemmings are on damage control because they have no games. Lots of them using blu ray player as an excuse is laughable because average ps3 owner has 8.5 games while 360 owners have 8.9 games. SO, using blu ray player as an excuse for its sales and saying ps3 owners do not play games is compeletely laughable.

I like how you think I'm some lunatic who praised Sony like it was its GodUncle.

I can't stand Sony with a passion and I've made that clear.

But I am a gamer. That is my hobby. I play video games. If Microsoft isn't supplying, and nobody is demanding, I'll go elsewhere.

And so far, the PlayStation 3 has been giving me a better experience than what I had with the Xbox 360.

And how does me missing out on Full House Poker or a Flash-based game make it wrong to jump ship?

Good spreadsheet, yes they are almost equal. Anyways, old games count as part of the library, new games won't be announced until E3 for your "future support" because not all developers blow their gaming secrets before the big event.

only 3.6 million difference? Wow. I'm predicting PS3 overtakes 360 at the end of 2011 though (because of the bucketloads of fantastic exclusives coming to PS3, and more exclusives means more advertising montages = more customers :D). Get ready to see Kevin Butler rocking your TV screens again :P

So your whole argument is future games? Well I am sorry I can not help you there because I do not own a crystal ball and the developers have not released a memo showing every game they will release till the end of the gen. From the start of the gen to the current point I think the 360 has done a great job like said before of the 2 consoles the 360 has the most AAA,AA and A games. The most games and best download selection. When I find a list for all the games for the rest of the gen I can comment on future support till then I am rather happy with the way the 360 has been.

Gears 2 is not on the PC. Played and beaten already when I had my Xbox 360.

Halo 3 and Reach are not on the PC.Played and beaten already when I had my Xbox 360.

Fable II is not on the PC. Neither of the Forzas are on the PC.Played and beaten already when I had my Xbox 360.

And yes, even if you're talking about upcoming, I can play Forza, Halo and Gears on my 360. I already did; there's no need to go back to them.

LA Noire's Metascore- 90 on the 360 and 89 on the PS3. Yet the PS3 version of the game is still better, both from Eurogamer's Digitalfoundry and Lens of Truth. The metascore means that there were more reviewers reviewing the Xbox 360 version.

DiRT 3's Metascore- 89 for 360, 88 for PS3. I don't see how Dirt 3 was a game people were actually interested in, but the same reason as above. More Xbox 360 review sites available. And you are saying it is better due to 1 point? What was the DF and LoT comparison for this game?

Dead Space 2's Metascore- 90 on the 360, 89 on the PS3. Didn't the game get a 9.0 on the PS3 and an 8.5 on the Xbox 360 on GameSpot due to the PS3 version being the better value?

Mortal Kombat's Metascore- 86 on the 360, 84 on the PS3 More Xbox 360 review sites, as always.

Fight Night Champion's Metascore- 86 on the 360, 84 on the PS3. Didn't the Xbox 360 version have more content? If so, it deserved the better score.

Shift 2: Unleashed Metascore- 82 on the 360, 81 on the PS3 Same as Dirt 2. Why bother talking about these?

Marvel vs Capcom 3's Metascore- 85 on the 360, 84 on the PS3 1 point difference.

Top Spin 4's Metascore- 84 on the 360, 82 on the PS3 ALL these games are higher rated on the 360. And this is AFTER considering the fact that the PS3 versions have lesser number of reviews. Alright, so if you want a fair comparison, use the review sites/newspieces/etcetera that both share incommon, then come back to me.

The only multiplatform this year that has a higher score on the PS3 is Crysis 2. Even Portal 2, which was supposed to be best on the PS3, has the same Metascore on both the systems. So that argument of yours fails. Hard. The metascore determines my expereince between the two platforms? I'd rather look at the Digital Foundry/LoT comparisons and also know which one has been giving me exclusive content. So far the PS3 has been winning these.

XBL is far better than PSN. There shouldn't even be an argument here. :? It better, since it's something you are paying for.khoofia_pika

All BS aside Xbox had a 1yr head start. IMO their sales are pretty pathetic being only 3 mil ahead after 1 whole year head start. I think Sony learned a valued lesson from a $600 price from the start and the table will be dealt a whole new hand next time around and it isn't looking good for MS. They don't have crap for exclusives and it will hurt them big time soon enough.

daledoback

Lemmings keep buying into the Xbox brand, so no, it won't. Until they ever learn (which they won't), Microsoft will continue to coast on mediocrity and make people think that multiplatform titles are exclusive.

Let me get this straight....

You own or owned an Xbox 360? Because I have a PS3 and Xbox 360 and the 360 DESTROYS the PS3 in every category.

I currently own both consoles, and while I very much enjoy playing my 360, I believe the PS3 is by far the superior console. And I could give a crap out sales, it doesn't affect me in any way.

Damage controle is their specialty; On a side-by-side comparison, 360 loses 1/10 when it comes to functionality... What's even more interesting is that, even when the crapbox has no games coming out, they still try and blindly defend it... ...and I consider "Gears of Bore 3" a well deserved bonus in the otherwise "F' YOU" segment of the obviouse weakening life cycle for 360...

Ah, I knew this response would come. I never said wait, it IS 2011, isn't it? You're living the year of the PS3 ;) Infamous 2 in June, Resistance 3 in September, Uncharted 3 in November, there are plenty of games, and PS3 already has future 2012 releases in the bag (Starhawk, The Last Guardian). You act as if I'm hoping or joking, like I said, I'm not doing any of that, I'm talking about the truth and the now 8)

All these exclusives are just going to get buried (sales wise) from all these great MULTIPLATS. MW3, BF3, AC:R = Monster Blockbusters. What will uncharted 3 sell like 3.5 million copies?

Sony better release all the "exclusives" before September 1st.

wasn't it only like a 5 million head start to begin with, so we are down 2 million from when ps3 came out...

The gap was over 8 million at the end of 2006 (right after PS3 launched). By the end of 2010, it was down to 3 million, so shrank by 5 million in 4 years. So far this year, it has widened back by 600k.

I never said Wait for "2011" technically, I just said Wat :P And the PS3 ALWAYS gets great exclusives. Somehow, they never help it much.

Kinect games? Bah, yes :evil: those games. I've noticed that the Kinect craze died down a bit though, I don't want 360 to continue beating PS3 sales just because of Kinect :( if 360 were to continue beating PS3 in sales; I would want it to happen because of a future great lineup of exclusive games (non-shovelware ones).

Why do the sales of Uncharted 3 matter to you? Does that determine the quality of the game? Well, seeing how you keep lauding the 7.2% sales lead the Xbox 360 has over the PS3, I can understand why.

And for crying out loud, why the hell do dip****s keep supporting Activision?

What have they done that is GOOD for the industry?

BF3, on the other hand, is something that shouldn't go unnoticed. EA hasn't been as bad, but then again, they've been giving me free extra content on my Blu-ray discs.

Thats why i've only bought 1 game for the 360 so far this year vs 10-15 for the PC. Doesn't stop those games appealing to audience and that they don't exist. Have to say the 360 has lain almost untouched by me until very recently for a long time.

because people don't have the same tastes as you they are bad for gaming? If they are so popular you'd have to say they are good for gaming by pulling people in?

XVision84 is implying that PS3 will overtake the X360 by the end of 2011. All I'm saying is exclusives like uncharted 3 will not make a difference. As a matter of fact I think most people will pick up a X360 for Gears of War 3 rather than a PS3 for uncharted 3. That just my opinion.
