Why Cant PS3 Fans Admit the 360 has a better game library? (Proof inside)

Because, people have opinions. Fascinating right? Jesus, people on System Wars. Can't you understand that people have tastes in games and opinions? I own both the X360 and the PS3 and play the X360 more for your information.

Also true. I now see the pitfall of the statement. Something can have a low price tag and a ton of games, but doesn't mean it has any quality or quality games for that matter.

Games that are well received by critics are usually good. I'm not sure how you can say that good games aren't relevant to core gamers. When I buy a console, I buy it because of the games. It was the reason I bought the PS2 and the reason I bought the 360, and it will be the reason I buy my next console.

 There's just no denying the 360 library is more well received by critics, I just can't understand why it is so hard for PS3 fans to admit that, it's the truth.

[QUOTE="Miketheman83"][QUOTE="Murderstyle75"] If we were talking about a couple years into the generation, you would be right but since 2009/2010, Microsoft hasn't really done squat. I figure its only a matter of time before we see something like Halo - Fitness Evolved. Metacritic ratings also don't mean too much. I mean one of my favorite Xbox games of all time, Unreal Championship 2 - The Liandri Conflict scored an 85 yet only sold about half a million copies I believe. Then you see games with much lower scores selling millions of copies.Murderstyle75

why do we have to pretend that Sony won this gen? I dont get the hate, xbox 720 is going to have a better library too. Thank you very much, cant wait for the RTS with that 8 gig of RAM.Mr720fan

higher percentage that xbox 720 is going to have the better graphics card next gen, that hasnt been announced yet either, and thank you very much for the DRAM which im sure they will up to 64. 1080P camera Kinect, come on man, its over. hahaha we shall see =D cant wait, am pumped up by MS again. Mr720fan

And yet The Witcher 2 is also a dumbed down port available on Windows and OSX. We got more played out Halo and Forza and a bunch of XBLA titles that have the technology that could run on either a low end laptop or a Mobile OS. Great reason to own a 300.00 console though. right? Is Halo and Forza really the only games that Microsoft Studios has any kind of budget for? But we are getting a new Gears of War as well. So predictable. Meanwhile, Microsoft had more disc based exclusive games in 2005 than we have seen in the last three years put together. The platform is getting very bland and so many projects with great potential got the red light in favor I'd more Dance & Fitness soccer mom crap. Kinect Nike Training must be a great reason to own a console though.Murderstyle75

That's all fine and dandy. I'll just stick to playing the inarguably best versions of all multiplats, exponentially more exclusives than all the consoles combined, and always free online, with more features than any console's pay2play service has. 

And just for this particular debate, I'll add in that of the tiny handful of games I give two sh!ts about, that I can't get on PC, the vast majority are Playstation exclusives.

I still enjoyed the PS3s offerings much more, so I dont really care what the critics or sales say.

I know it sounds crazy, but some people think for themselves and develop these things called opinions.  Even critics do it!  So weird.

I counted retail games based on Metacritic. According to the site, it actually does have more retail exclusives rated between 70-100 than PS3, but a handful of them are Kinect. The two are actually pretty close with a slight 360 favor. Mike, don't pull your 200 more crap. We all know that number is beyond absurd.

Higher rated? It points that way according to MC. Better? Depends on preference. In my opinion, PS3 exclusive quality is better.

[QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"]Because people have their own opinions? :oMiketheman83

Even critical acclaim is still opinions.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not completely writing off the weight of a Metascore.  They're usually a good indicator of a games quality, or lack there of.  But I also know that all review scores are opinions and most of these "professional" reviewers these days are no more qualified to rate a game than any other random gamer out there.

Agreed. MC is the probably the best we have but far from a slam dunk. Since it's an average, one review of a 3 can drastically skew the results of a game that everyone else gave around an 8 or 9. I've found games to be overrated/underrated compared to MC IMO.

They look at every aspect and take in technicality to a greater extent than I would while I usually base my personal scores more on a fun factor.

Microsoft had a 3 year plan from the 360 launch in terms of exclusive software, after which it faded and they just rode the momentum until now. That same plan will be in effect for the next xbox, and they have set up quite a few new internal studios in the past 1-2 years that are working on next gen games.

My wish would be that Sony really give them good competition from the start next gen so that Microsoft is forced to pull all the punches when it comes to game support. In the end the gamer would win.

Agree. Again. It was basically a tortoise and the hare competition except the hare slept at the beginning intstead of the middle....and it's not clear who finished first.

Okay, nevermind that...that was a terrible analogy.

[QUOTE="Miketheman83"][QUOTE="Murderstyle75"] No but I just picked up both Alan Wake games on Steam a few weeks ago for 7.49 total. So much for it being an exclusive Microsoft IP. It's not even published by Microsoft on the PC.kuraimen

[QUOTE="Miketheman83"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] The 360 needs PC games to beat the PS3 library in the first place. Again stop being selective otherwise you look like a hypocrite.kuraimen

The PC can play every one of those PS1 and PS2 games, so...

Let me know if the XBox360 will ever get a port of this game (which I'm waiting steadily for for my PS3)
