Yes, the PS3 is starting to have a strong exclusive library. But honestly guys, hasn't the Xbox 360 had a strong exclusive library for years? Yes the PS3 is getting back on track as a console but thats what its supposed to have done in the first place.

I wouldn't exactly say exclusive now, but it does have a good library.

The threads are pointless, I agree. Still, it's really growing into it's own, which is something exciting. I'd rather have 3 good consoles, than just 2.

There is more pro PS3 threads because there is more cows then the other fanbases on here. It is simple as that.

So could you maybe link a few of these threads? Are they about games or sales? Threads about the former would be understandable, threads about the latter would not.

Well, that's because about 50-60% of Gamespot is made up of cows, and they're probably still arrogant over the PS2. So when the PS3 does something right, they have to rub it in on everyone else. =/

Cuz ps3 is doing great and pumping out awsome exclusives. but for some reason some cows still have hope that the ps3 will finish on top, which is very clear that it wont happen.

Because that's what fanboys do, brag when the time is right and spin the truth when it's not.

How is it clear it won't happen, the ps3 is selling about the same amount as the 360 year to year.

It's not like the 360 really had an untouchable beginning. It wasn't that much better than the ps3's early start really. People have clouded memories and perceptions (probably most because of sales and a lack of a Gamespot AAA score).

I seem to remember the 360 having a pretty healthy line-up of exclusives in its first year and no giant enemy crabs. :P

How can it catch something in the lead by going the same speed as what it's trying to catch?

And then there's the Wii.

Why? I'll tell you why. We are entering a new era, a era I like to call 'mid seventh generation - the return of Playstation and the second rise of Sony'

Everywhere you go, Lemmings are panicking, doing their best to defend a console that is falling at an alarming rate. It has been since mid 2008, but it is now that things are clear and the age of enlightenment begins. Listen to your heart and you will be guided to the PS3, the sooner the better.

We are not even at the "mid seventh generation". We are in fact in my opinion, nearing the end. And I'm perfectly fine living with my Alienware and Xbox 360 thanks.

near the end? serious? three years is the end of a gen for home consoles? wow. microsoft am fail for keeping their consoles out. look at the PS2. released in 2000 and it is still just barely alive. i won't be surprised if it lives until the next console is released. i agree with bethwo about the mid-gen and the PS3 is def. making a comeback. maybe not in sales (yet) but def. games.

Assuming traditional lifecycle trends continue of 5 to 6 years between console generations, then we could see new consoles as early as 1.5 years in the inside, 2.5 years on the outside.

Most analysts think the recession has actually managed to lengthen the expected lifespan of the PS3 and especially the X360. The 360 is profitable, moving to a new system that would likely be sold at a loss would be silly in this economic climate. Though it would be interesting to see MS launch new hardware that would be the same price as the suddenly last gen PS3.

I think that might actually be a healthy thing. For the developers too.

Anyway, I wouldn't mind it if that turned out to be the case.

Really? Considering a certain MGS4 thread, I'm beginning to doubt that. The absolutely ridiculous amount of MGS4 bashing in it seems to tell a different story. As for TC post; It's mainly because the Ps3 is getting a strong line-up of exclusives that are -new- While the 360 has a pretty well established library, a lot of the titles really are quite old, with the majority of the PS3's big hitters being relatively new in comparison.

I really do not care if the PS3 finishes third this gen. Im having so much fun with it and all the awesome games released for it and that will be released for it. If being in third means I still get to play some great games then so be it. Hopefully Sony learned a lesson this gen and gets it's act together next gen. They cant keep bleeding cash like they are doing now.

You're missing the point that 360 has rarely announced anything worthwhile this year.

YOu see Pro Sony threads because they're the ones announcing games.

I don't see where you're coming up with these statistics that "Gamespot is 60% "cows"" last I checked, There were about the same amount on each fanboy faction. It's just right now, the PS3 is on an upswing, thus the "lemmings" tend to just keep their thoughts to themselves, as they know anything they say will just be argued against with ridiculous fanboy rhetoric, much like how in the early days of the PS3, anything the "cows" could possibly say positive about the PS3, it was INSTANTLY shot down with "no games!, $599 USD, 4D!, BU.. BU... TEH CELL!" and whatever else the "lems" could find faulty. But now, the majority of the arguments against the PS3 have been fixed, or are entirely moot. The two consoles are more alike currently than they have ever been, and with every major firmware update, the PS3 just closes that gap more and more. Will the PS3 ever be as good as the 360 in every way shape and form? I don't know, I'm not clairvoyant. But I can tell you, I think it might. It's entirely possible. But currently, it's just a "bull" market, GET IT?! HURR. but yeah. Give it a while. Possibly after MS's E3 showing we'll see the "lems" come out of hiding, and rear their heads, bragging about this, that, and the other thing. but the "cows" will have things to brag about also, as right now, we are in a time of balance between the big two. both consoles have similar/same graphics output for multiplat titles, and both have sufficient online services, as well as slowly, but steadily growing user bases. Hope that answered your questions.
