The 360 has easily the best library on the market today. It has more and better titles thent he ps3 and wii combined. Not from my opinion but from reviews all over the industry. I just dont' get the logic of selling a 360 that has tons of good games for a ps3 that has maybe 5 good games. Just ridiculous and idiotic. I bet most of those threads are made up but if they are true I guess fanboyism runs deep in the blood.

I thought we purchased consoles to play games and not the name on the system? If the ps3 had the 360's lineup then I would swipe it up in a sec. Sorry but the ps3 is far below the 360 in killer games. You can even argue wii has a better lineup then the ps3 so far.

hes probably thinking about the future when the PS3 will have a line up like the 360 does now and when the 360 is maxed out at its power.

ever thought that I actually wanted to play 40 player matches in resistance, ever thought to urself there are people who luv uncharted and heavenly swords movie like experience, ever thought warhawk is one of the most fun multiplayer games this gen, ever thought 360 get RROD and ps3 has a lot lower failure rate, ever thought people are not willing to miss out on metal gear solid and final fantasy, ever thought if you have a good pc then you dont really need a 360, ever thought halo 3 and mass effect are really the only good exclusives at the moment since bioshock and gears of war went to pc, 360 doesnt have that many good exclusive games sorry because they belong to pc as well.

Why would people BUY, let alone Keep a Console that constantly breaks down and suffers such a SERIOUS problem?

Because it features their favorite games?
I didn't buy my GAMING console to watch blu-ray movies on it or play just 1 or 2 games on it I might like or fool myself that I'm curing cancer by keeping it on all the time.

If the PS3 would suffer from such heavy problems (much like the PS2 did last gen) I'm sure you wouldn't trade it in for a 360 just like that either.

1 or 2 games? Get with the times, GEEZ

PS2's problems were nothing compared to the SERIOUS overheating GPU issues the 360 goes through, DUH!

2. They believe the new consoles dont break

3. They just cant wait to play the damn games thats on the console..

Personally, I don't care WHAT console it is. I think anyone who sells their console to buy a different console is stupid and NOT a real gamer. They are someone who games purely to show off or because it is the cool thing to do and they only care about owning the most popular console. These people are what is wrong with gaming today if you ask me.

Having said that...last gen there were tons of posts from people saying they got rid of their PS2 for the Xbox. And I would wager that the massive gap between the PS2 and Xbox game libraries dwarfs the gap in the 360 vs PS3 libraries.

RROD isn't a lame arguement, for the fact that its such a serious problem that still plagues gamers 2 years later. You don't just let that slip by, easily.

Considering the better PS3 titles out now, that BLURAY ONLY argument is getting alil old.

I just bought a 360 not because of the libary but because of my friends. If I wanted to play online games with them then I had to get a 360. Other wise I would have got a PS3. IMO the 360 games that are coming out next year don't look as good has the PS3's or the Wii's.

I thought it was clear, but apparantly I have to overimsplify for some people.

To this day, the PS2 has the largest, broadest and most diverse game library of any console ever. Yet people were willing to overlook that and trade it in to get an Xbox. So if people were willing to overlook the PS2's library...why is it so hard to believe some people would overlook the 360's library?

Get it? It's not that complicated.

Even thought there are better games coming out for the PS3 then the 360 next year. People don't normally buy systems based on what coming out but rather what is already out. When games lke GOW3 and MGS4 come out they will sell the systems. But not really before.

I call this into question. Just because systems have a sales spike when a certain game comes out, this is more the exception than the rule. HOw many system selling games are there for each console, honestly? One? Maybe two that truly create a noticeable sales spike?

THe overwhelming majority of sales are made based purely on brand and perception. So yes, many people DO buy consoles based on what WILL come out.

This break down myth is an excuss.

You pay best buy $50 and you have a 2 year hassle free warranty of the 360. Every game you guys mentioned on the ps3 the 360 has the equivalent and much better. Fanboys

Another lame arguement is for teh future titles.

I live int he present not in the future. If the future 360 library is bad then I will trade it in then. Right now it's spectaculor and ps3's library looks to get no better in the NEAR future.

The 3 year warranty is necessary and that can never be a good thing man. Come on, be honest: there's is not a single argument that can justify a 33% fail rate. There are valid points both positive and negative for both consoles, but the RROD is a big, if not the biggest, negative for the 360.

The 3 year warranty is necessary and that can never be a good thing man. Come on, be honest: there's is not a single argument that can justify a 33% fail rate. There are valid points both positive and negative for both consoles, but the RROD is a big, if not the biggest, negative for the 360. NielsNL

which will be fixed for free. Oh noes I don't have a console for 2 1/2 weeks!

Another lame arguement is for teh future titles.

I live int he present not in the future. If the future 360 library is bad then I will trade it in then. Right now it's spectaculor and ps3's library looks to get no better in the NEAR future.

Nin360

How is this a lame argument. Two of my favourite franchises are GT and FF. When I decided to buy a next gen console this was one of the main reasons it was a PS3 I bought. I think a lot of other people are thinking along the same lines there. So it's safe to assume lots of people are going to choose a PS3 for this. How is this lame?

Geezus christ son, THINK.

RROD isn't a lame arguement, for the fact that its such a serious problem that still plagues gamers 2 years later. You don't just let that slip by, easily.

Considering the better PS3 titles out now, that BLURAY ONLY argument is getting alil old.

#1 Inot your son,Probably old enough to be your father! LOL!!! and RROD is a lame argument because that was an issue with launch consoles, MS has modified the current systems to correct this.

No its a lame arguement because MS fix it for free with a 3 year warranty. Cows hate this, its burns them and they have to deny andignore it or they combust.

:lol:

ERRRR, How does a warrantee fix the problem? THAT FREE fix isn't a fix....but a temporary solution, the problem has yet to be corrected, since it concerns the GPU producing TO MUCH HEAT.

talk about denial.

Why would people BUY, let alone Keep a Console that constantly breaks down and suffers such a SERIOUS problem?

cool_guy2000

Because it features their favorite games?
I didn't buy my GAMING console to watch blu-ray movies on it or play just 1 or 2 games on it I might like or fool myself that I'm curing cancer by keeping it on all the time.

If the PS3 would suffer from such heavy problems (much like the PS2 did last gen) I'm sure you wouldn't trade it in for a 360 just like that either.

1 or 2 games? Get with the times, GEEZ

PS2's problems were nothing compared to the SERIOUS overheating GPU issues the 360 goes through, DUH!

Now sit down .

Or you get with the times?
The blu-ray argument is as invalid as the RROD these days.
The new model has reduced the problems a LOT. Never had ANY problem with the 360 myself.

And I wasn't talking about overall PS3 games, but the ones actually worth getting a PS3 for.
DUH!!!11 (that sounds so nerdy, lol).

I always have a good laugh when I read crap like that! where the hell do you get: " the PS3's future looks brighter than 360's" It's in last place in sales, dev's favor the 360and ithas onlyabout 1/3 of the totalgames the 360 has!

Even thought there are better games coming out for the PS3 then the 360 next year. People don't normally buy systems based on what coming out but rather what is already out. When games lke GOW3 and MGS4 come out they will sell the systems. But not really before.

I call this into question. Just because systems have a sales spike when a certain game comes out, this is more the exception than the rule. HOw many system selling games are there for each console, honestly? One? Maybe two that truly create a noticeable sales spike?

THe overwhelming majority of sales are made based purely on brand and perception. So yes, many people DO buy consoles based on what WILL come out.

Then why had the 360 sell so poorly this year before Halo 3 came out this year? In that lodgic should not the sales of the game system have been higher because people knew that Halo 3 was coming out?

You miss my point.Replacing it quicklyis the least M$ could do after admittedly selling you a product that will most likely fail within a year now isn't it? My point is that the fact that there's a necessity for this service is in itself the problem. A product that you pay a couple of hundred bucks for shouldn't have such a high failrate, period. Nothing anyone can say or do can justify this.

The Sony customer service sucks is what I've heard. Thishowever matters much lessif your products rarely break.

That wasn't the case last gen with the PS2 though was it? "Coolguy" forgets very quickly, at least MS had the gumption to do something about it.

As for the failrate, you're right it shouldn't be so high and its a disgrace but at least MS are doing something about it.

Hate to split hairs...but just because MS will fix it with the warranty, doesn't mean if I buy a 360 it won't break on me. It may possible break more than once. Would you buy a car that you know could potentially break down numerous times, just because it comes with a 3 year no-questions warranty?

The average Joe doesn't care about the warranty. They just want a console that will work and NOT break down on them. It is the breaking down part that bugs people.

So I would say that while you are right about cows being burned over the warranty, lemmings are just as burned, if not moreso, over a chronic hardware failure they constantly want to deny exists.

LMAO look at your list. You're still including a title from over a year ago. The others are single player games with minimal replayability that you could finish in a weekend or mulitplats (lol @ Oblivion). How many of those have even sold 400k? :lol:
