Sony PS3 or Microsoft Xbox 360?

What games do you like to play? Do you like multiplayer? Tell us some of these things so it'll be easier.. You should also look into their libraries/upcoming games.

P.S. Expect fanboy posts, unless you made this thread to start a flame war.

Xbox 360. Live > PSN and 360 controller > DS3

Both have their strengths and weaknesses, but it really just depends on personal preference. What kind of games you like, whether you're interested in Blu-Ray, how much money you want to spend, etc.

If the PS3 seems too expensive for you, you might want to wait until the 19th, which is when Sony is rumored to announce a price drop/cheaper model.

Stevo is right that the 360 has more critically-acclaimed games, but it's still all about what your tastes are.

PS3 better games, better controller, better graphics, better and more reliable hardware (no RROD!!!), Free online.

360 has more and according to critics better exclusives. It also has the best version of multiplays most times.

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="double_heist"] Uh... the JRPGs aren't that highly regarded in the Xbox 360 :|. I'd say they're more spectular in the DS and PSP. The only spectacular ones are Lost Odyssey (I guess) and Tales of Vesperia (which is coming to the PS3 anyway).double_heist

[QUOTE="double_heist"][QUOTE="delta3074"]read the topic title dude, it's between 360 and ps3, between the ps3 and the 360 the 360 has the highest rated JRPG's, and a score of 8 or above is considered 'good' round here, which equals 'highly regarded'rybe1025

[QUOTE="rybe1025"]

[QUOTE="double_heist"] PS3 then. Valkyria Chronicles and Disgaea 3 ftw. :Pdouble_heist

[QUOTE="double_heist"][QUOTE="rybe1025"] Like I said the PS3 has the highest rated SRPG which both of those are.So for the people that need to have that very niche game style then there you go. Meanwhile the 360 does better in jrpg and wrps.Cherokee_Jack

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="double_heist"] You know, it's kinda silly (not saying you are) to keep reclassifying the RPG genre. It's bad enough it went JRPG and WRPG. But making the JRPG into ARPG, SRPG, and Turn-Based RPG is getting stupid in my opinion.double_heist

What about the rpgs made in Korea for example are they then WRPG?No almost all Korean rpgs are jrpgs

What if the next FF was made in Canada would it be a WRPG now? No it is still a jrpg just made in Canada

I could give other examples but you get the point.

That's irrelevant. Final Fantasy XIII and Disgaea 3 can both be broadly classified as RPGs (or even JRPGs, according to you), and yet they are very different.

JRPG - Japanese RPGs meaning RPGs made in Japan

WRPG - Western RPGs meaning RPGs made in the West (US/EU)double_heist

Not when they're used as RPG subgenres, in which case JRPGs are RPGs in the Japanese style, and WRPGs are RPGS in the western style.

Just stick with RPGs.double_heist

Yes, let's simplify genres until they have only arbitrary definitions.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go play an action game; maybe Gears of War or Devil May Cry.

and subcategorizing too much is getting annoying. no wonder there's racism and hatred (it became living to non-living, then humans to animals, then the race categorization).

Xbox 360 has more games, and the most critically acclaimed games as well (including exclusives).Stevo_the_gamer

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Xbox 360 has more games, and the most critically acclaimed games as well (including exclusives).MetalGearSolidZ

It does in fact have more games than the PS3, and it does have more critically acclaimed games/exclusives (just check Metacritic, or look at the exclusives spreadsheet if you trust GS).

So... you guys are saying that Xbox 360 would be better ... huh????dblue45

PS3 better games, better controller, better graphics, better and more reliable hardware (no RROD!!!), Free online.

[QUOTE="MetalGearSolidZ"] I have to diagree with you on that one, please support you opinon with facts on why xbox 360 has apparently ":more games" and "mroe exclusives"MetalGearSolidZ

It does in fact have more games than the PS3, and it does have more critically acclaimed games/exclusives (just check Metacritic, or look at the exclusives spreadsheet if you trust GS).

So just becuase it's had a head start your going to ignore that it has more games? And as for you saying "It doesn't mean they are good" then...

Number of quality 360 games

Number of quality Ps3 games

As you can see it has more quality games and exclusives. But you could like Killzone better than Halo and Forza better than GT but that's all opinion...

Bth consoles have good racing games. If you like to buy more acessories for the racing game like steering wheels etc. then i would go for ps3. Other wise, depends wether you are a fan of forza or gran turismo...

Your not gonna get a clear-cut answer. Some people are saying the 360 has the best games, but its common knowledge that the PS3 has the best exclusives, the highest rated exclusive (MGS4), and the best exclusive lineupWadeFan

It is not common knowledge and as a matter of fact that is a lie. X360 has a higher quantity of exclusives with a higher quality as well, scoring better here on gamespot. Combine that with the fact that 98% of multiplat games look and play better on the 360, your "better games" arguement goes right out the window.

If you like the 360s controller and play online, 360 is definitely your choice as live > psn.

If your antisocial when it comes to gaming and plan on buying a lot of blu-ray movies id give the ps3 a look

Better Games = Opinion, More Games = 360, Better Looking Games = PS3. Whatever one you buy, neither one will disappoint. Nonstop-Madness

I would personally WAIT a few months and see if the PS3 slim actually comes out or if major price cuts happen. You may have a choice of a $299 PS3 slim or a $299 Xbox360 Elite, not to mention pack in game bundles. before Christmas.

PS3 is the best bang for the buck with built in blu ray and wireless and free online.

Xbox360 will be more expensive if you require a wireless adaptor and pay for LIVE, but, LIVE is easily the best online service if you desire excellent communication with friends , and if you enjoy movies, the netflix streaming is wonderfull.

If it just comes down to games. Both systems are fairly even with multiplatform games. When it comes down to exclusives do you want to play Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, the Ratchet and Clank games,and upcoming rpg called Demons Souls,or , do you want Halo 3, Halo ODST, Halo Wars, Gears of War series , Forza 3, Left for Dead series, or the upcoming Square-Enix games Magna Carta 2?

It comes down to:

which movie option you like the best; blu ray or streaming netflix

which online components you like the best; free online or pay service with much better communication with friends

which exclusives or types of games you really want to play the most.

YOUR CHOICE.

PS3=

+Best exclusive lineup this year (I think anyway)

+PSN is just as good as live and free (lag wise bioth are the same and feature wise itsa so close it makes no difference)

+Blu ray means high devs videos and no multipe disks

+Very reliable

-excpensive (though may be getting a price cut)

360:

+some multiplats end up slightly better on the 360

+ its waaaay cheaper

+ Netflix and 1080p video streaming coming

Both are great, i tried to be unbiased but I'll be honest I think the ps3 is better right now. Especiallyfor newer exclusives and upcoming games.

System Wars is greatest place ever to get an honest answer to this question.ultima-flare
