Project Gotham Racing 3, Perfect Dark Zero, Call of Duty 2, and Kameo : Elements of Power.

This "at launch" excuse needs to go away.  The system was released in November, folks.  In spite of the 360 actually having good games to play AT LAUNCH, the PS3, five months after launch, has Jack and squat.

 

And you are wrong sir!

About what exactly?  Jack and Squat?  What in terms of exclusive games that I can't play on my 360 does the PS3 bring to the table?  Resistance and VF5?  No AAAs?  Come on now..don't go there.

Oh come now, that's not true. It has several good games to play. Nothing truely incredible, but it has more then jack squat.

You have games like Resistance Fall of Man, Motorstorm, Call of Duty 3, Def Jam Icon, Need for Speed Carbon, Formula One Championship and Virtua Fighter 5. Sure they are not all exclusives, but that shouldn't be a big deal. They are good games and that's really all that should matter.

 

Untold Legends, Ridge Racer 7, Mortal Kombat II, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Oblivion, NHL 2k7, Fight Night Round 3, Call of Duty 3 are some other good games as well.

I didn't really enjoy Untold Legends or Marvel Ultimate Alliance.  But I can't believe I forgot to add Ridge Racer 7 and Oblivion to that list.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, motorstorm, Resistance: Fall of Man, and call of duty 3...Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.........I could go on and on. PS3 wins here. More are coming this year to! For some reason people miss most of PS3 titles.

All but one of those are also on the 360.

Some people may not have the 360 and may want to try it. People shouldn't only be forced to play exclusives. I have played both versions of the game and I'd have to say the 360 one is better (much better framerate and better hit consistency), it's still a great game and if you've missed it you should give the ps3 version a try. Just because it's been released on another system doesn't make it completely obsolete.

If you have both systems I'd say to go with the 360 verison though.

That's all nice and fluffy, but that's not the real world.  The only differentiating factor between the PS3 and 360 right now are games.  If I can enjoy every single good game available for the PS3 on my 360, why on God's green Earth would I buy a PS3?  Answer:  I wouldn't.

CubeJL

Real answer, you can't. 360 doesn't have Resistance and Motorstorm.

Course the 360 makes up for that with games like Gears of War, Lost Planet, Viva Pinata, and a good deal of others.

Right now it's not a fair fight at all between the two, common sense to see that the 360 is clearly the better choice. Much bigger library and it's a very impressive powerful machine.

In a year, or more, the PS3 should give the 360 a better fight. But right now it's a landside in the 360's favor. But that's to be expected when one of the systems hasn't even been out for a year, and the other has been out for nearly two.

I dunno about you guys, but I'm finding Sony fanboys are slowly getting more and more quiet on the subject of PS3. There's less and less of them pouncing on the 'potential' ownage of the PS3, since they claimed so much ownage on sales on the PS2. It seems like the only argument Sony has going for it is that it's future proof and that 2008 may be PS3's year................if it hasn't been scarred for life from lack of public interest this year.

I'd like you to explain why defending the PS3 makes you a fanboy.

It seems that for some ppl around here saying something good about it makes you a biased fanboy.

tegovoltio

This is the only reason why gamespot forums exist. Posters have two choices: love 360 and call those who don't fanboys, or hate PS3 for no good reason.

It is pretty funny isn't it?  The PS3 has been a total joke since E3 2005 and yet, here we are.  The PS3 is heading toward its one year anniversary pretty fast, and it won't have a game that trumps the 2 year old 360.  I'm talking both features and graphics, because the 360 has it all baby.  Has it all!:)

The next joke of a game will be Killzone 2 vs. Halo 3.  I hope the cows enjoy thier wast of time trying to promote yet another Halo killer.  So sad indeed.:(

I always love seeing lemmings attack ps3 fans for no reason. The PS3 has been out for what? 5 months? The 360 has been out for what over 1 year? Please..what did the 360 have at launch? NOTHING! Fanboy.

But cows like yourslef will attack the Wii, which has been out for 6 months.

I'll admit, the system has a lot of potential, but a success it is not. I don't quite understand why some people are still trying to claim it's a lot better - quality wise - than the 360 or Wii. It doesn't make much sense.

There's a Best Buy here that has about six PS3's sitting in the middle of the floor in the check-out area. It's like they really have no other way of getting rid of them.

I'm sure the lineup will change for the better; DMC, MGS, and FF will soon grace the console. But when the majority of people here (this site) are looking forward to a dirt-racing game, simply because it looks attractive, I question what the system really has to offer. I mean, I'm not going to kid myself, I know damn well that the majority of people on this site, namely PS3 fans, could give two craps about dirt-racing games.

considering that the ps3 launched relativly recentally and was hyped to sell very well, it's basically a falure at this point. M$ on the other hand has had it's system out for a while and has been able to catch up to demand.

A failure? Lmao! Gotta love ignorant statements. 3 million + consoles sold so far @ 600 + bucks a pop. Yeah, it's a failure alright.....

At this point I wouldn't call them 'Consoles' just call them Blu Ray players, cause you arent playing any decent games with it atm.  Bet you've watched some good movies though... :lol:

This really is a very interesting question indeed... why do people keep trying to defend it? I really cannot wrap my head around it. I understand it has "potential" and if you are one of the few with a top of the line TV (I am one of those few) the Blu Ray is a plus, but where it counts and where it matters in terms of games it is obvious the PS3 is lacking. Now don't get me wrong I am not a "hater" or a "fanboy" but right now beside Resistance and Motorstorm there are no big time titles that will are or will be out on the 360 and up to this point perform even better on the 360. I understand the Sony fanboys say oh well wait for the future the games are coming the games are coming, but how come everyone forgets a few simple facts. How come everyone forgets that this system was supposed to be out by the end of 2005 when the 360 was launched, but got pushed back? The it was supposed to come out in the Spring of 06, but was pushed back. Then it was a worldwide release at the end of 06 (but wasn't really worldwide). For all of your Sony fans that say well devs just have to get used to the system and get used to developing for it..... shouldn't they be used to it by now??? Technically shouldn't they have had their dev kits for just as long as they have had their 360 dev kits?? For the sake of gaming in general, not just for Sony, these "killer apps" that Sony has in its pipeline better in fact turn out to be killer apps and not just a glossy mediocre title like what happened with Motorstorm. Please someone tell me why it is ok for Sony to have lied so much about the PS3, about its functionality, about its release dates, about its games.... but some people still blindly defend it and say games, that they have seen 0 in game footage on, are going to be "teh ownr"??

The PS2 had the same start the PS3 is having, back then it's greatest threat was the dreamcast(which it erased), now it's the 360, to me it seems the PS3 is of to a good start. The Wii is beyond system wars, it's an icon which has no competition.

6 PS3's compared to Best Buys huge 360 stock wasting away in the back of the store.

they reason why they only put out 6 ps3's on the shelve is because they have  about 10000 in the back that arent selling so they only put a few out to make it look like it is so they can move the product

ps3 failed

boo hoo

oh and no one cares about whats selling in japan

japan dosent make or break the rest of the world

the neogeo could have done good in japan but that dosent mean it was succesful, theortically speaking

This thread isn't about asking people why they defend PS3. This thread is about bashing Sony. Even if someone comes along with a good reason why they're "defending" PS3, this thread will still be about why that person SHOULDN'T defend it anyway. The better question is "Why are people who don't have PS3s bashing it?" It's not hurting Xbox or Wii owners. If anyone's a fanboy, it's not the person who defends the PS3. It's the person who loves his 360 and uses that as a reason to hate Sony. I'm done with this thread.

I'll admit, the system has a lot of potential, but a success it is not. I don't quite understand why some people are still trying to claim it's a lot better - quality wise - than the 360 or Wii. It doesn't make much sense.

There's a Best Buy here that has about six PS3's sitting in the middle of the floor in the check-out area. It's like they really have no other way of getting rid of them.

I'm sure the lineup will change for the better; DMC, MGS, and FF will soon grace the console. But when the majority of people here (this site) are looking forward to a dirt-racing game, simply because it looks attractive, I question what the system really has to offer. I mean, I'm not going to kid myself, I know damn well that the majority of people on this site, namely PS3 fans, could give two craps about dirt-racing games.

6 PS3's compared to Best Buys huge 360 stock wasting away in the back of the store.

6 relatively recent consoles that are newly released compared to the 1 and a quarter year 360 stock wasting away? And I don't even like the 360 :lol:

In your dreams.

In my dreams? Why not call your local best buy and ask them how many 360's they have in stock instead of calling me a liar. I have a buddy that works at my local best buy so this is how i know these things. I live in SF Cali btw so there are tons of peeps that have the cash to purchase a 360. Not many of them do. So again,  call your local best buy and ask.

360s are outselling PS3s in this country.  Saying that 360s are wasting away unpurchased is a fantasy.  It's not opposite day today, is it?

fanboyism has to be the only real answer.

it didn't deliver on the games side.

it didn't deliver on the sales predictions.

it didn't deliver on the worlwide launch.

it didn't live up to xbox live.

it costs hundreds more than other consoles.

the games don't live up to the pre-release video footage.

and yet, according to cows, it's worth every penny of $600...:roll:

So let me get this straight sony provide enough consoles for a launch and are constantly belittled for it? There's brilliant bit of fanboy logic for you. Regardless of what you think of the sales of the ps3 is unimportant the fact sony had the best launch because they made sure that if you wanted a ps3 you could get one, which is something microsoft and nintendo failed to do.

The real question is why people still feel the need to attack Sony and the PS3 for every action or word they say.  People defend the PS3 because they either like it or think the attacks are unfair.  What logical reason is there for anyone to attack the PS3 so vigorously and obsessively?
