For those of you who own both systems, which do you prefer?

And which one did you own first?

Do you think that owning one before the other has affected your opinion?

360 for life, until PS3 gets more games, which is probably next year.

I bought the 360 when it first came out, loved simply just GEARS it was innovative and beautiful, but I wanted the online experience, so I got the ps3, and played online for free, unlike live...ps3 has the most value, 360 has better games, it will always be like that...

i got both and i would have to go with the ps3 for reliability and the ps3 has some pretty great games but also the xbox has some of my favs on there but to be honest i really dont kno they are both are great and i think everybody should have both if you can spend the money for it

I prefer PS3, because I have had some sort of Playstation for over 10 years now and I am used to the controls and the games on Playstation. Also it is quiter and runs better and has little bonuses like BLu-ray and on board wireless internet.

I will say at the start of this generation I was not planning on buying a 360 but I could no longer ignore its pressence in the video game industry.

I am happy to own all three systems but Playstation 3 gets by far the most play in my house.

I own both. I do like the 360 better overall. I had the 360 first. I don't think that plays on why I like the 360 better. I like the variety in 360 games better. I also like the 360 controller better for any genre accept fighters. PS3 is still worth owning with some awesome games that are PS3 only (MLB The Show, Infamous, etc) but if I could only have one it would be the 360 for sure.

PS3 for me. I don't really think it's that much better than the 360; it's more of a preference, really. I prefer the Dualshock controller, the free online, PSN games, 1st party games, and Blu Ray.

I bought the 360 first, then two years later I bought the PS3. Reason is because of exclusive AAA games. Plus I have a feeling the PS3 will eventually, slowly but surely rise to the top. But I still love my 360. I have too many AAA games for it and it has great games still coming out.

I bought the 360 first and I'll give the slight edge to the 360. Of course it's a little unfair because I just got the PS3. To be fair I'll give the PS3 a couple years.

it's Trey 4 life ...get it right....props to the treybrother hood of youtube....lol... I love my ps3, I was an old PS fan resurected, as my last Sony console was a PS1, and was strictly hermit for 8 years...until 2 games, one GTA4 and MGS4 just so happened to be coming out with 2 months from each other. I played both in the stores back in 2008 and the ps3 just felt better, I liked the controller as its what I was used to on ps1 years ago and the same shape as my pc controller...then there were the games. I can't stand halo, have it on pc and it's horribly overatted. It's got to be the crappiest game (as fanboys have a heart attack)... Then gear sucked on pc too. Fable 1 sucked on pc so I didn't want that. Oblvion was also on ps3 and a better version, FF was going to be coming out. Playing Heavenly sword, uncharted Motorstorm, foklore, etc.. at the gamestop kiosk in 2008 i really loved the look and feel of those games. Heavenly sword which is not to popular around these parts was so fun and beutiful to behold. The games just felt like nothing on the pc. And I knew sony made good games. After comparing the features, the failure rates and the horrible immature xbox live pay to play community the choice was clear...ps3 was the way to go! EVen the game cases look better, they look sleek on my swivel media rack. Black with clear top much better than the money colored 360 green.. I am perfectly happy with my decision and have racked up 50 ps3 blu-ray games and about 45 psn titles, plus got a white psp 2000 which just rocks! (I also own a home built gaming rig, a wii and a ds and just got a ps2 2 months ago)

This is interesting, so half the 360 first owners who bought PS3s now prefer their PS3?



I wonder what other factors might be at play here. Do you think that because that half of 360 owners paid more for the PS3 than they did for their 360 they prefer the PS3 now? Or do you attribute it to the PS3's games and relative reliability?

Maybe cost has somehting to do with why barely any PS3 first owners prefered the 360...

I thought people said "no games", and if you didn't know, I have less PS3 games than 360 ones.

Well there's nothing wrong with more diversity. I remember a guy saying a couple days ago that he was thinking of getting a 360 cause the ps3 had no Fable or Mass Effect type games. I know i would personally like to see more platformers on the 360.

i know... i'm in the same boat as you are. the only games that are only on 360 that i am looking forward to getting (like definite buys) are Mass Effect 2 and Alan Wake. that's why i keep it around.

That's one good reason, it needs more exclusive RPGs, Valkyria Chronicles is one of my favorite ones, despite only being AA, it should had been AAA unlike Resistance 2.

ahaha, right now im looking for the upcoming exclusives that may catch my attention, to see if they can justify the purchase of a 360...so far Mass Effect 2 is the only one...and maybe 2 or 3 oldies....

For me it's the other way around the 360 is best for multiplatform games and the PS3 is for it's exclusives.

You loved the 360 that much you bought three.

by that time i did loved it more(2006), since last gen i was an Xbox owner, but all of them were faulty so i gave up and got rid off them. Bought a PS3 (2008 ) and i love it more than the 360 :)

AND i only bought one 360...the other 2 were store replacements...so no..i only paid 400$...in the end i sold the last one(2007), and got the PS3 with that money

I bought my 360 first, and it is still the most used console. I generally prefer to use it because XBL is better than PSN (IMO), the controller is better for shooters (6AXIS is better for SF4 and FIFA) and i mostly play shooters.

I also tend to prefer the Xbox exclusives (i know some of them are on PC, lets not be pedantic) like L4D and Gears.

Multiplats also tend to get bought for the 360 (except FIFA and SF4)

When it comes to the console itself, definitely the PS3. The 360 has the lead in games at the moment, I find. But I can see the gap closing fast.
