Sorry Sony, you lost me for the most part.

I remember before PS3 and Wii were out and I was watching E3 on G4 in amazement. I was thinking to myself WOW PS3 is going to be great. Heavenly Sword, Lair, GTA4, MGS4, Resident Evil 5, Devil May Cry 4 and all the other fantastic games were the games I wanted to play. They all looked outstanding. Which is why I bought my PS3 on launch day. Sony has also been very good to me in the past. I was never really into the types of games that Microsoft had on the Xbox. So I bought a PS3 thinking I would be able to play "exclusive" games on my PS3. Come to find out I could have just boughten a 360 and gotten the games I expected from Sony and MORE.

And don't get me wrong here, there are/will be Sony exclusives but not sheer amount and quality of exclusives that were on the PS2. Its becoming clear to me that Microsoft will have more / better exclusives than Sony. I owned a PSX and a PS2 and so I thought that Sony would continue the tradition with PS3. I wrong. And don't think I'm making this thread just because of the FF XIII announcement. Its been something that I've been thinking about for awhile now. Its just that now after E3 I can swallow it. I'm keeping my PS3 because I can't justify selling something I paid $600 for less than half that price. Plus it'll be good for blu-ray movies and the occasional exclusive (little big planet, GoW3). However, I'm going to be looking at Microsoft for my gaming needs. Now if they would only release a new model with HDMI and fix that RRoD so I could buy my 360 with no concerns.

I really don't see how the 360 is that much better in terms of games...

You never owned a PS3 since lauch. You only owned a 360. This is a terrible try at a rant.

Don't listen to these fanboys. You are probably right in looking to Microsoft for your gaming needs, they are hitting all the right notes this gen.

You pay the price of ONE game for a year of Xbox Live, that is infinitely better than PSN currently and in the near future. If you're into the Xbox kind of games, you're all set and the multi-plats are definitely better for the 360. However, if you like did like the PS games of old, you're probably better off with your present console. The four new JRPGs announced by Square are unproven.

However to enjoy the best of both worlds, own both =P

What do you expect from them a clear, concise argument? Good luck on that happening.

to be honest i wish ps3 and 360 owners could just be happy about their exclusives because at the end of the day both systems are fantastic i mean 360 has gears ps3 has mgs4 so both are good in their own way.
