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

360 also has more games.  Its been out a year longer and has a lot more shovelware than PS3.  That's basically all your stats prove.  If they both had the same amount of games, then you'd have a point.  Besides, critic scores don't mean a better library.  There are certain series (Halo and Forza among them) that will never get a bad rating no matter how repetitive or unimaginative (or any other knock typically used against lesser hyped titles).

Face it, 360's library hinges on 5 IPs:  Halo, Gears, Fable, Forza, and Kinect games.  That's it.  I have an interest in only one of those four (Forza).  I cant stand the other four.  Both Sony and Nintendo (even with its own overreliance on Mario and Zelda) give me more interesting options than MS.  So No, 360 does not have the better library.

All scores taken from Metacritic. It took me a while to count all these games up but I figured I would actually use cold hard facts on System Wars for once. I used all games above a 75 rating on Metacritic, because games rated 75 or higher are usually more desireable to gamers.

I will sum up the problem with your logic using an analogy. Every year hollywood and media ramp up and try to get everyone excited about the Oscars. the Oscars celebrates what is considered to be the the best made movies of the year. Yet every year, the exact same stories pop up...why, if these are the best of the best, don't they make more money or be more successful? And the answer is typically that what the movie going audience likes/wants isn't necessarily what the Academy is looking for.

Movie audiences just want to be entertained. Sometimes that means a very well crafted movie, but most of the time it means just killing time laughing at something stupid. People seek out experiences when they go to the movies, not necessarily "art" or examples of movie-making excellence.

The same is true of games. Critics review games based on certain views of "quality" and they play way more games than the average joe. Meanwhile, individuals have their own tastes and interests and expectations on what makes a good gaming experience for them. As such, there is no shortage of people like myself who feel the PS3 library offers way more games that appeal to our tastes/interests than the 360.

[QUOTE="Miketheman83"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] Likewise the ps1 and the ps2 have nothing to do with this convo so why can't we count the games that are on the ps3 and those systems again? Lol lems really can only play with selective reasoning to "win". How dishonest to say the least.kuraimen

That made me lol. Thank you.

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="Miketheman83"] The PC games the 360 gets are games released THIS GEN and arent on the PS3, they are a huge advantage of owning a 360 over a PS3.Snugenz

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

I'm sorry but for me PS3's games library is much better !!

No proof can decide for me which console is better, its just a matter of personal taste in gaming !!

[QUOTE="kuraimen"] Gosh you're pretty dumb. The PS2/PS1 games the PS3 gets are games that AREN'T on the 360, they are a huge advantage of owning a PS3 over a 360.kuraimen

So then why do you discount 360/PC multiplats if the "PC is not even in the competition"?.

Because if someone likes more games on one system more than on others then in their opinion that system has the best games library. So being that the PS3 has tons of good exclusives and the 360 does also one could say either one has the best games library. 

So you can't get proof the 360 or PS3 has the best games library. 

In the first 1.5 years of PS3 vs 360 a xfan would have a good arguement. Since then neither side can have a good arguement.

[QUOTE="Snugenz"]

[QUOTE="kuraimen"] I'm not arguing against the PC. Indeed it can play all those games, that's why I always say the PC is not even in the competition since it always wins by default.kuraimen

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="delta3074"]But they are not PC games, they are multiplatform, who made the rule that if a game is on the PC and the 360 that it's a PC game, Also, Big flaw in your argument, The games the 360 shares with the Pc where actually made FOR the 360, Ps1 and Ps2 games where not made for the Ps3, add to that that the vast majority of Ps3's can only play Ps2 games that are re-released on PSN and your argument is completely destroyed, you can count remakes if you like and Ps1 and Ps2 games re-released on PSN but you cannot count BC towards a consoles overall library, it asanine.delta3074

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] I'm not discounting them, I'm saying that if lems want to count them then we should count every game that can be played on the systems since in real life all those count.kuraimen

Hahaha you eastern gamers make me laugh so hard. Nobody gives a shlt about your anime infetsed eastern garbage games.

Western Games is where it's at and the best Western Games on console can be found on XBOX 360 and soon the neXtBOX. eastern games can go suck it.....Oh wait, they already do!

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="delta3074"]no, there a huge difference, you are talking Backwards compatibility, the titles the PC and 360 share are actually released FOR the 360, you see thats where you are going wrong, PC/360 games are not just 'games you can play on the system' they are games that are actually released FOR that system, Ps1 and Ps2 games where not actually released FOR the Ps3 where they?onewiththegame

You claim cows don't follow the rules and then you don't follow the rules yourself? Charming... :roll:

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] Again nitpicking trivialities just to discount some ps3 games. And you claim cows change the rules right? Well the meta game here which are the official rules if I believe DON'T COUNT MULTIPLATS. So why are lems changing the rules or is it alright only when they change them? If we count only exclusives the ps3 wins, if we count ALL games then the ps3 wins. The only way the 360 can win is by not following the rules and nitpicking which games count.kuraimen

[QUOTE="kuraimen"]

[QUOTE="delta3074"]how is that nitpicking? it's quite simple, let me explain it to you Games released for a system=Count Games not released for that system= don't count when comparing a 2 systems library we count all the games released FOR that system on both sides and Pc/360 games may be multiplat but they are still games Released FOR the 360, like i sadi, Any games Ps1 or Ps2 games released on PSN count because they where released FOR the Ps3. Also, this isn't a metagame thread ,Metagame rules don't apply because the orginal op is using Metacritic, nice try but not good enough sunshine. Heres another way of lloking at it. Every game listed for the Ps3 on MC counts Every game listed for the 360 on MC counts Are Ps1 and Ps2 BC games on the list of games released for the Ps3?Miketheman83

[QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"][QUOTE="Miketheman83"] You can't compare last gen games the games made this gen though. it's completely irrational.kuraimen

You realise Western Gamers just laugh at you? We HATE your anime infested pedophile garbage, there isn't a thing in the world some eastern gamer like you could say to make the far superior Western Gamer feel bad. Instead we blow coffee out our noses laughing at the junk you think is worthwhile.

now they wanted to do library add everything playable,. Eddie-Vedder

Either make specific comparisons with categories of games that stand up to the same standards and scales or you have to accept PS1 and PS2 titles also count, imo a lot more then counting a map pack or a 5$ arcade game. Eddie-Vedder

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] Yes they're part of the ps3 library. I can buy them on psn and play them on my ps3.kuraimen
