I don't want people telling me there thoughts i want proof of why Xbox is soo much better than a PS3,
Why do you call it overated?MGS_4lyf
Here are my reasons.
Too much money for a game console. Sony forced new unproven tech on consumers who may not even want it. Such as myself. I could care less about Blu-Ray movie playback, internet browsing, flash drive ports and the like. They lost focus on what they were trying to do and that's FIRST and foremost be a VIDEO GAME CONSOLE. All this all in one crap is usless.
People complain about Microsoft releasing too many SKU's but Sony is now about to release their what....FOURTH one? They seem to be trying so hard to hit the right market and all their talk about people working harder or more to pay for their outlandish price points was a ******* joke and a slap in the face to the consumer. Sure there were a few Sony diehards and tech whores who paid full load for the PS3 day and date, but the REAL consumers spoke by forcing Sony to do a few double takes in their marketing strategies and forced them to lower their prices not once but TWICE before one year life span.
PS3 takes WAY too long for any substantial games to come out exclusive to their consoles. While this is more or less a developer issue. Sony does nothing to improve the situation.
PS3 will normally get multiplat games anywhere from one week to months LATER then Xbox 360.
Also on the multiplat subject the games for the most part usually get the nod for the 360 version weather it be because of framerates or slightly better visuals.
PSN content is too far and between. Getting a new demo or some new experimental PSN arcade game every month or so is not cutting it. I don't care if PSN is free to play it still sucks. I currently enjoy getting top name game demos weekly and in bunches (Two to three at a time) not to mention the XBLA is updated EVERY Weds. Sometimes two games a week. Not to mention the capabilities to download movies, tv shows, game videos, music videos, and insider tip videos with zero hassels. I don't have to pray for game demos or complain about it on message boards because 99 percent of the time the Marketplace is on top of it. Sometimes faster then I can even ask for it. The steady flow of content is amazing!
Sony ALWAYS delays EVERYTHING! From consoles and ons to software (like HOME) they can NEVER have any reliable release dates and things get pushed back to the point where it's almost too little to late. I'm looking at YOU PS2 harddrive.
The exclusives are becoming less and less thus decreasing the need to own a PS3. Sorry but two or three exclusive games do not warrent a 400 to 600 dollar value. If I can get MOST of the games I want on a 360 why should I spend more money to play maybe two games?
Exclusive games that live up to their hype as opposed to ones that don't. Call Halo 3 a dud if you want but the truth is IT IS NOT! Pound for pound the hyped exclusives for 360 have lived up to their hype. That's not to say EVERYONE will agree and there's even some who will disagree simply because they are blind by fanboyisim but the truth is when your system sellers can't sell systems it's not so good. Heavenly Sword did ok at best but even THAT game became average. While people pant and wait for the REAL hitters to come (Proven and true classics like MGS and FF which EVERYONE has played before) 360 tries to bring gamers SOMETHING NEW and it usually does exceptiopnal if not above average.
I oculd go on but I think this should be reasons enough to validate my opinion.
