PS3 or XBOX 360 this late in gen?

[QUOTE="XVision84"]

I see no reason why anyone would buy a 360 at this point, PC gamer or not, not only are you going to pay for online but you're not going to have any great games to look forward to other than the usual Halo/Gears/Forza game. Microsoft clearly isn't showing any core support. On the other hand, there are a whole slew of PS3 exclusives coming out, and new multiplats are very enjoyable on both systems. Not only that, but PS Plus is a much better deal than XBL.

Unless all of your friends have Xbox 360's, but that's a different story.

Stevo_the_gamer

I am not taking up for his argument, but I feel I need to point out that xbox360 and PS3 wish they could walk half a mile in PS2's shoes (i know you probably don't feel that way as you have experessed vocally that you hate JRPGs) so that comparison is off the mark.

PS2 has an amazing generation with around 10 AAAE games the first year in the U.S. launch...it continued to have great AAAE games the all generation long.

In the last 2 or 3 years PS3 and 360 have JUST now begun to get games the level that should be regarded great, in a generation were great games have been too far and inbetween. Between PS3 and 360 the truely great titles that most people would agree on this gen would most like not exceed 20 games...PS2 got about half of that amount in 1 year.

just saying, wanting games comming out now for these consoles is more important that a system like PS2 that had great games thruough out the generation.

Because you'd want your console to have a long life? Playing 2007-8 games can only last you so long, especially when each of them are dirt cheap and easily completable. Why would a new buyer NOT care about buying a console that has a nice library of 2007-11 games while being ensured that there are plenty of games to look forward to? Especially if the new buyer wants to see the "latest and greatest" of gaming, most sequels have nailed the gameplay by now and solved all of the problems of their past games. Getting an Xbox now would mean that you're missing out on many great experiences such as The Last of Us that can only be experienced on Playstation 3.

it's a little diffent from my perspective.

This gen seemed like one big 'terrible' tech demonstratin for the first couple of years. Many horrible games given good reviews because some developers used some cool textures. In my eyes, it isn't to make the console have a long life...this generation didn't even really get started until late 08 early 09 for me because of lack of quality content.

The reason it feels like that is because there have been so few great games compared to the prior generation, but develpers finally seem to have gotten their feet on the ground and making some worth while games now. This generation of console still has alot to offer givin creativity of develpers and some of them have finally got their heads around the idea of actually making games great again and not just all flash. (From Software helped alot)

I still look foward to material from these consoles because developers now seem to produce a new quality product that has some worth.

[QUOTE="XVision84"]

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Wait--why would a new buyer really care about that this late in the generation? That's like thinking about buying a PS2 back in late 2005 and then going, derp, no point in buying a PS2 now because future support looks like it's dwindling.

Yeah, completely agree with you on that part. Games at the start of this gen were nowhere near as good as games now, it's amazing to see how far we've come this gen. Still, games like Warhawk, Gears 1, Uncharted 1, Alan Wake, Burnout Paradise, LBP, etc. are old but still worth playing. They're in the bargain bin right now and are the sort of games you'd normally speed through. There were a lot of terrible decisions made this gen, hopefully next gen turns out better. I'm especially let down with Microsoft, they had such a great thing going in 2005-7 with the Xbox 360.

The one with the two finest Exclusives, Halo 4 & Forza Horizon, launching this year.

What's PS3 got coming this year, I dunno ? :P

Since you have a PC, it only depends of the exclusives you prefer.

Halo 4

Gears Judgment

Forza Horizon

Trials Evo

etc

VS

The Last of Us

God of War Ascension

Dust 514

Journey

etc

Personally, i prefer 360 exclusives, mostly due to their fun factor and replay value.

If you like games + free online + bluray, then get a PS3. If you don't like any of those, get the overpriced DVD player instead for about the same price.

Already have most of the 360's games on PC,get a PS3.MonsieurX

360 is better as a general purpose system.

PS3 is better as a PC gaming supplement.

There haven't been any proper quality 360 games ever since 2008. All we've seen are HaloGearsForza.

The last statement was 100% correct, games like Alan Wake can be experienced on PC, and there are plenty of FPS games out there to replace Halo with.

Games like The Last Guardian, Journey, Flower, and The Last of Us can only be experienced on PS3 thus far. Tell me, since when have you seen anything that pushed tech as much as TLOU does on 360? PS3 is delivering lots of games, it's a valid opinion, it's sad how you guys are defending Microsoft when they're ignoring their core base, charging for online, and getting timed exclusive DLC instead of games. Come on now, are y'all so blinded that you can ignore all of that? Aren't thegames important? So why are you okay with not getting any exclusive games?

You should buy another PS3 since it has lots of high quality exclusive games unlike the 360.

If you look at what's "must play" out there, it's almost all multiplatform.

So the only good answer is either you get a PS3 just for 3-4 exclusives that you care for and a gaming PC for everything else.

Or you use a 360 as a general purpose system for multiplats and 3-4 exclusives (and maybe Kinect for the wife etc.)

It doesn't matter that PS3 has more exclusives.

MS doesn't make exclusives because they don't need to. They just let Sony bankrupt itself building games nobody wants.

PS3 has a very low failure rate, there has also been very few system failures reported with the 360 Slims.

It really comes down to your preference, look at what system has the exclusives you might want the most. Don't worry about multiplats, you can play COD, GTA, Batman, AC ect....on either system and (almost) all multiplats are identical, you won't tell a difference between either version. So it's really only exclusives that matter.

If you want UC, GOW, KZ, Infamous, LBP ect...then go with PS3. If you want Halo, Gears, Fable, Forza (or PC-360 only mutliplats) then go with 360. You also have to factor in what online service you want, PSN is free, XBL is not.

There is not much difference between the two honestly, XBL is a little better integrated with faster updates and whatnot, it also has cross game chat, but aside from that it's exactly the same as PSN.

Do those thing make XBL worth it? Well that's for you to decide for yoursel, in my book no it isn't but that's just me. If you don't care about cross game chat, and are fine with having a slightly less integrated service, then PSN is perfectly fine for you. If not, then go with XBL.

No wrong answers here. Just go with your preference and don't listen to fanboys. Good Luck!

Here I found a couple of good videos that argues a non biased case for each console:

Q&A: Why Choose An Xbox 360 Over A PS3? - YouTube

Q&A: Why Choose A PS3 Over An Xbox 360? - YouTube

Oh and one more thing, if you want a multi-media system then the PS3 is the way to go. But like I said, exclusives are THE most important thing. So look at those and decide.

360. More quality games, better online, better controller, genre leading FPS, TPS, racing sim, and dance game, XBLA>>>>>>PSN. There's really no reason to get a PS3 unless you need a blu ray player.JohnnyCageMK

Actually, Microsoft HAD exclusives when it needed them ( You're forgetting about games that were out years before they went to other platforms, like Dead Rising, as well as the first Mass Effect game, which Microsoft both funded and published. Which went to the PC a year after the 360. You are also forgetting about PS3 sloppy seconds like Bioshock and Mass Effect 2, etc).

Microsoft had exclusives when Microsoft needed exclusives. And when they need them again I.E. when Sony actually poses a threat to them ( :lol: ), they will have them again.

MS will get worried when there's a competent version of CoD and Fallout on PS3.

Until then, they can pursue casuals and throw a crumb to hardcores once in a while.

Sony is spending itself into the ground trying to make games that matter, and so far almost none of them do.

This is the first generation where we have seen third-party support completely steamroll first-party.

1 reason i like 360 a bit more is the controller since i use the same controller for my PC and love it, also I can share my PC Live gamertag with XBOX 360 for achievements and last thing is im interested in console multiplats and I hear they run and perform better on XBOX 360 such as Red Dead Redemption, Bayonetta, etc...

Dante's Inferno - Great game, both versions equal, I played on 360 and my thumb swole from mashing A, PS3 controller might be a little better for these types of games.

Enslaved - 360 version slightly superior but PS3 controller fits better for these type of games (button mashing)

Mortal Kombat - PS3 version has Kratos and the controller is better for fighting games IMO

RDR - 360 version superior graphically, I played on PS3 and loved it, so it shouldn't make a difference

Bayonetta - 360 version superior graphically

(god I sound like a broken record here)

God of War - I enjoyed Dante's Inferno much more and I'm not into these types of games at all. Try Darksiders if you like this type of game.

Infamous - Good concept but I give it about a 7 in terms of gameplay. Ugly graphics.

MGS4 - Straight garbage, 10 hours of cutscenes, gameplay was not fun at all

Uncharted - Tomb Raider with a guy instead, don't care for it.

Gears of War - I didn't want to play this series but got it because there's a girl I want to bang who plays this. Ended up really enjoying myself and replaying a few times. 9/10

Halo - Didn't care for Halo 3 but Reach was really really good. 9/10 for Reach, rest of the series sucks. Check out Halo Wars, it's surprisingly good for a console RTS.

Forza - To me Forza 3 felt like the best driving game ever. It's like the iPhone of racing games. Sadly I'm not much into sim racing so I don't play it.

----

Bottom line I didn't make your decision any easier.

Just go with your gut.

I prefer the 360 but that's just me.

Maybe you really like God of War, who knows.

Just look at what games they have to offer and go from there.

Still can't decide
I was thinking to buy a 360 first and use it as my main console since I loved Gears Of War on PC and never got the chance to play the 2nd and 3rd one, as well as Halo 3 and up coming Halo 4 ( Im mainly a shooter guy ) also I played a little bit of Gran Turismo 5 and Forza 3 at a game store, and to me Forza 3 was a much better racing game.
Then buy a PS3 only for exclusives....

I'm really sympathetic because I've been thru this for years

I've probably flip flopped on consoles more than anybody on this forum.

Sold one, got another, sold that, got the other,etc.

Bottom line is there is no wrong decision.

What do you want to play NOW. Right now.

Go order that game.

Now, what system do you need to play it? Go order that.

If it's multiplat, go look on Lense of Truth, get that version and buy the corresponding machine.

To be honest the one game I wanna play now is Red Dead Redemption since I waited for more than a year and it never got portet to PC:cry: and from what I read on reviews XBOX 360 version is much better than PS3 one, also I never got the chance to finish Gears Of War trilogy since the 2nd and 3rd one never got ported to PC as well....

360 is much more online oriented, and by now those multiplayers are dead or dying, PS3 is more about single player which lasts forever, But 360 is still a good console, just not as good as PS3.

Well lets see XBOX has Gears, Halo, Forza, Fable. PS3 has Uncharted, Resistance, Killzone, R&C, God of War, MGS4, LBP, Infamous.

XBOX has xbox live which is $60 a year subscription but has a party chat feature which is nice.

PS3 has free online but sadly lacks a party feature for chat but you can still chat in game anyway.

Id say pick the one that has the exclusives you want to play.

Go order that game.

Now, what system do you need to play it? Go order that.

If it's multiplat, go look on Lense of Truth, get that version and buy the corresponding machine.

To be honest the one game I wanna play now is Red Dead Redemption since I waited for more than a year and it never got portet to PC:cry: and from what I read on reviews XBOX 360 version is much better than PS3 one, also I never got the chance to finish Gears Of War trilogy since the 2nd and 3rd one never got ported to PC as well....

Then get a 360 and go play RDR and Gears.

Simple.

im leaning toward xbox 360 but still having hard time deciding which one i should get first and use as primary console since at some point ill have both consoles.
