i like the ps3 more too, but your post just sounded very fanboyish. you dont need to use the avitars they just stand there, 360 and ps3 are basicly the same thing. i can understand the wii part a little as i dont like waggling after a full day of factory work but still in alot of the games i play you dont really move that much or i can use the wavebird since all i really play is SSBB

what do you mean "whats wrong with it?"

The D-Pad goes into a different direction then what you press.

The analogs have no grip and the button layout is a perfect diamond, so if you wanna press the button directly opposite it's alot harder than the jelly button layout of the DUKE/SNES.

Even the dualshock is easier because the buttons are more flat and don't feel like the candy nerds.

The Wii is not really childish, I hear that excuse often from people who had never tried it. The 360 is childish? From what I've heard, several people stereotyped the 360 as "blood-and-gore". I can agree with the motion control thing, I miss the times when I go into my friend's house playing a 4 player game with a controller.

The D-pad thing did happen to me in Gears 2 & Fallout 3 but it's really not that bad. Just a minor annoyance. And how can the analog sticks have no grip if they're concave? The DualShock does have superior face buttons, I'll agree with that.

If you could think of it, they can do anything with motion control. I can't see how Project Natal makes you dance. Unless if you were refering moving.

Not compared to the Duke perhaps but I've never found the 360 analogs to have "no grip". I find them to have better grip than the DualShock, maybe that's just me.

I agree that Nintendo systems are a little kiddish but Xbox 360 has some brutal (but not exclusive) games to it like Fallout 3, Prototype, etc. And does a lot of M rated games make it a better system. I like the PS3 better because of it's online,they don't rip you off, better quality, and so on.

actually its like the often-over looked middle child... it isnt cute and "childish"... nor is it bad a**, just more like a stuck up kid that really wants to be loved so it just takes everyone elses stuff and when people call it stupid it just closes its ears and cries "NO IM NOT.... YOU ARE!!" :cry:

but heck, i have fun with my ps3 so its all good for me :P

1. That is the wekest arguement to like a system ever.

2. You do know that the PS3 is the one with motion controlls, not the 360 right?

The 360 becomes more like the Wii at every E3. E3 08, avatars. E3 09, motion control. I hope the 360 doesnt go super casual. I dont think the 360 is "childish" yet.. but it appears to be going that way a bit.

Easy big guy. Sixaxis had hardly any impact at all on the whole motion sensing front, and it was hardly casual. More like a gimmick, a failed gimmick. Bottom line, the 360 is going much more family friendly and targetting the Wii's demographic than the PS3 is. No denying the 360 is mimicking the Wii, right down to the cartoony Wii's and the cheesy music that plays when you change their uniforms and they jump up and down with a smile on their face. I love the 360, I have no problem if the 360 goes half casual, so long as the hardcore offerings are there and in plentiful quantities.

gimmick or not the TC post complained about specialtings you had to do with the 360s control. now that vs the special commands with the ps3 control = phail point. not to mention the whole idea of home as a virtual meeting ground with these casual games included and the actual PURCHASE of new clothing = phail point on your behalf. i for one see no problem with a system reaching a casual audience like you said as long as the core audience isnt forgotten. but if youre going to finger point remember your system has casual gimmicky points also
