Which will live longer? 360 or PS3?

[QUOTE="Vari3ty"]

I personally think Sony will support the PS3 longer, as they did with the PS2. Microsoft ditched the Xbox once the 360 came out.

Bc the Xbox and 360 are identical, right???

PS3

[QUOTE="loosingENDS"]

[QUOTE="delta3074"]current evidence would support buying a ps3, MS seem to be winding down core exclusive support for the 360 whereas SONY appear to be ramping up there core exclusive support for the Ps3, most exclusives for the 360 next year are kinect, which is great if you are into that sort of thing, i personally am not.delta3074

Actually they have 18 core exclusives in 2012, more than any other year so far

That is not winding down, that is increase tenfold comparing to 2010-2011

also 5 PC/360 only games

But they are still core games, all 18 exclusives on 360 in 2012

I would not call Gears and Uncharted core myself either, actually they are the most casual games i have played, but does not matter what we think, only matters what it is and those are all core games

360 in 2012 is just epic, Fable, Dragons, Ryse, Elysian Tale, Alan Wake and Halo, nothing else comes close imo in core gaming

The NES will out live them all... just as long as you keep blowing on the cartridges ;)TheEroica

I dont see 3D going anywhere until the glass free screens are more commob place and far cheaper

I'm all about the 360, but the above quote is the best answer. PS2 games came out awhile after the new systems came out. I gave Sony huge respect for that.

The people who are saying MS will drop 360 obviously don't understand business. With that said Ps3 will prob still last a bit longer.

Tell that to my 4 360's I've had over the last 4 years. Thank God I didn't have to pay for the new ones.

Ps3 will live longer because unlike M$, they actually put TLC into their products.

Based on past history I'd say the PS3. Rumors seem to point to the new MS console hitting before the PS4, and last gen the Xbox was dropped like a bad habit the moment the 360 hit the market. The PS2 was still supported for years after the PS3 came out.

if they make sure that the live system and xboxlive with everyones data and game scores and friends list migrates with them to the upgrade and the system is backwards compatible , which i dont see being a problem.. except they neeed to try to find some new disc like bluray or microsoft own tech that can hold more info then the current disc, as games already need more disc space and the 2-3 dvds in box sucks,,

so if they keep the 360 live and migrate it to the new 720 and what ever disc they use the lazer or reader can read old xbox 360 disc and what ever there gonna use on the next one,,,,,i just figure the next one will be better gpu , cpu and graffix components

basically a soaped up 360 with all kinds of junk for people to hook there smart funs and watch tv and twitter and yaddda yadda yadda net flix and ways to pump you for downloads for $$$$$$

They still sell PS2's even today.

They will be selling PS3's for years even after the PS4 hits.

Xbox will probably have more exclusives to enjoy next year, but i think history shows that the PS3 will live longer as sony will continue to support it well into the next gen as they did with the PS2

Rumors are one thing, but in reality MS has not even hinted on 720, while Sony has confirmed they are working full force on PS4

So, in reality and outside rumors and forums, PS4 has a bigger chance to come out first

Sony supported PS2 because of the 140.000.000 users, made sense to sell games to such a user base even with PS3 around

Now both systems have huge sales and install base, so probably there will be games for both a few years after the next ones release

Theres a good chance A LOT of people will stop paying for XBL next gen. PS3 owners wont have to stop paying for PSN because its free.

The PS3 acts a makeshift Blu-ray and 3D Blu-ray player so it can be used for a long time

As far as I know Sony supports their consoles for about 10 years each, I wonder if M$ supported their original xbox for as much...abuabed

None of the consoles can boast many exclusives, however I'd imagine the PS3 would last longer as it is also the BR player in a lot of homes.

But if it was so, they would have stoped from this generation, why would anyone wait to do it ?

I think even more will jump in the new Live on 720 than ever before

ill pay for a decent online interface and software with xbl.........i have both consoles and the ps3 software is a abomination against humanity compared to xbl. there big psn upgrade will be a party chat .private chat like jocked xbl nuts for trophies......playstaion hardware will always be a better product then others with durability , but microsoft will win with the software..all my friends had ps3 conned them all into picking up xboxs and now all there ps3 coolect dust..i still play my ps3 for single player games but the online and i dont know how is always worse on the ps3.. i dont know if ps3 caters to japan and it runs online like a best there , but in america , every game runs worse on ps3 online

if they make a new system that i cant throw in my streetfighter 4and have all its dlc run on it or gears of wars or anything, it should becuase i dont see the next systems being huge improvements as much as most think.....i think it will be made of like last years tech at reasonable prices to piece the machines together, but should not make 360 games obsoulet on the new system

Unless they shoot for a 100$ system, there is zero reason not to have high end PC parts of 2013 in the 720, these OEM parts and after deals would cost them less and they could easilly make a 300$ system with them, which would easilly rival WiiU

360 was more expensive because they went all out and used alien tech for its time, PC did not get unified shaders until months after 360 release
