Seems like 360 is the shooter/multiplayer console and PS3 has the epic stories.

Doesn't anyone else think so? 360 is more of a multiplayer/online shooter console. Just look at it's upcoming games besides Alan Wake :P.

PS3 has the single player epicness and still has quite a few good multiplayer games.

Wii is simply put....a party system with the exception of Nintendo's titles. I basically have one just for Nintendo's first party games and Monster Hunter 3 :P.

So if you want games like shooters and online you go with 360.
You want epic intense stories? PS3.

Party central? Wii it is.

I really can't argue this, personally. I have all three, and that's pretty much how they get used in my home.Most of the online games and shooters go 360, most of the story/single-player titles go PS3, and the Wii gets played when friends are over and we want some fun multiplayer (Mariokart, House of the Dead: Overkill).

The only exceptions are exclusives (of course), and certain titles where it's known that one version truly stands out over the other (like playing Assassin's Creed on the 360 for fewer visual issues). There is also the occaisional gem on the Wii (i.e. Muramasa, NMH) that begs to be played. :)

That's a very stereotypical view of all three consoles actually.

I tend to buy the 360 versions of shooter games, so I agree with that part. However, I don't think that the PS3 is the "story" system so much, I think the 360 has just as many good story games as the PS3 does. For me, the PS3 is the HD machine, the console I still use outside of gaming. The X360 not so much.

TC hasbeensmoking the good stuff and i want some.I am really gonna needyou to name some stories that were"epic" i have both and i enjoy my360 moreBUT i will say ihave been feeling thatUncharted 2 alot though.

I think we cant define a console using only a few games. 360 also has Mass Effect 2, Banjo N&B, PGR4, Forza3, etc (single player with epic stoeies and non shooter games) and PS3 also has shooters aswell like Resistence2, Killzone2, MAG, etc... (shooters with online)

My point, both consoles have games of every genre, singleplayer epics campaigns, online shooters, etc

This is exactly how a casual gamer might view all the three consoles, stereotypes and all, and it's sad really. All three systems have plenty of variety, and I've gone through my fair share of "epic story lines" on the 360, the most recent being ME2.

PS3 only has everything.

Oh, so I get it. If we ignore parts of the 360's library then this statement becomes true.

Just like I could say: The PS3 has no Modern Warfare games besides 1&2.

Just look at it's upcoming games besides Alan Wake :P.Blazerdt47

Okay I just did and there are a load of games that are heavily story based :? Metro 2033, Divinity II, Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell conviction, Fable III and arguably Halo Reach (just as focused on its multiplayer, but the campaign will be epic)

PS3 only has everything.

Ok i had a chance to try the 360's online and.. i was surprised, it was.. kinda good :P but for a free service on ps3 its pretty decent so anyways i play all my online and single player game son PS3 so cant comment :P but to be honest PS3 is more like a JRPG's console now, it have a lot of them and im glad for that :)

A common misconception that has been carried over from last generation is that the consoles are genre-specific. This may have been the case with the PS2 and Xbox, but this generation, both are rather varied and have a healthy amount of just about every genre one can think of.

Not to be rude or start anything but besides Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, I don't really have any games that I really "love" on the Xbox 360 in terms of story. Perhaps Lost Odyssey but I really didn't have much time to play with it. So, yeah, I'd agree somewhat. I think there's still plenty of games on the 360 that are just fun and that's what counts. Yet there's not much that I can say that really have interested me in terms of story or characters. I think your stereotype may be a bit harsh because there are some "intense" singleplayer games on the 360, just maybe not as many or at least not as many as I'd like.

nah that would be the Nintendo DS

Doesn't the PS3 have more exclusive shooter games? lulzxsubtownerx

Yep. But the myth says 360 is the shooter console! Probably because it has the best ones :P

I just wanted to make sure the TC read this again. ;)

For all you who disagree with me. I never said 360 didn't have any good single player games (Mass Effect, Fable, etc...).

I am saying that the PS3 is has more quantity and quality when it comes to epic single player stories. Maybe you would understand me if you took your fanboy goggles off.

Make a Linux port of the game, install Linux on PS3, BAM you're off to the races. :P

I don't know if they're epic, but these are the single-player, non-shooter, PS3-exclusives I can remember: Infamous Demon's Souls (it had online, but it was also entirely satisfying without playing it online) White Knight Chronicles (see above) Heavy Rain Metal Gear Solid 4 (because I know some lemming would argue if you called Splinter Cell a shooter) Valkyria Chronicles Heavenly Sword God of War 3 (coming) I considered putting Uncharted 1/2 on here, but lemmings would argue that it was a shooter, so it just wasn't worth the trouble. Anyways, I'm sure I'm still missing some exclusives, and that's more variety than the 360 offers in exclusives. I also skipped on exclusives not out yet except for God of War 3, because it comes out next month.jalexbrown

I didn't actually think shooters were excluded, but regardless it's still pretty even, Gears cancels out Uncharted, Halo cancels out Killzone, etc.

As for non shooters, there's Saint's Row, Dead Rising, Lost Odyssey(plus several more JRPGs I haven't played...), Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Kameo, Banjo, Viva Pinata, Viva Pinata 2, Crackdown, Fable 2, Ace Combat,Forza, PGR,etc. It all seems very even to me.

What game isn't "epic" nowadays ...

Not really.

360 has Halo, mass effect, fable 2, each of which have great stories.

PS3 has MGS4. havent played HR but i heard that it has a good story.

Is the argument. "The PS3 has more epc single player games" Or is it "The PS3 has more exclusive singe player games"

ME, Viva Pinata etc are on the 360 too, they are part of it's library. If the 360 had a library 100% made up of shooters, but it's only exclusive game was a puzzler, would it be a puzzler console?

[QUOTE="jalexbrown"] Dead Rising, Last Remnant (one of those JRPGs you've never played...not very good, by the way), Mass Effect 1/2, and Viva Pinata aren't exclusive. Infamous, Demon's Souls, HeavyRain, and Valkyria Chronices - at the very least - are four games of which I can think that have no 360 alternatives.jalexbrown

They both have tons of variation. People seem to only care about the highest rated exclusives, besdies, what's so special about exclusives?

The library as a whole is more important then a few niche exclusives
