[QUOTE="SolidGame_basic"]It came out a year earlier, was able to break into the market and grab a few good exclusives. But now MS is screwed because they have yet to make a true next gen console which is probably in the works as we speak.BillCutting

you do realize how fundamentaly wrong and bitter you are right? Just because the PS3 has yet to surpass the 360 in terms of graphical power doesn't mean you get to make outlandish statements. You could write it like this,

"well, the ps3 promised to have all these tech advantages over the 360, like the cell's graphics and "home" but it really has been a letdown of monumental proportioins and Americans would rather pay one hundred dollars less for their console that has a much better online, and games"

There now I infused some reality for you. I like the ps3 but to call the 360 a "last gen" console is rediculous.

:lol: it seems you're the one that's bitter. I excercise my right to an opinion, I'm not breaking any TOS here.

It came out first and was able to brainwash people into believing Sony was crap.TheGrat1

MS didn't have to brainwash anyone into believing Sony was crap. Sony did that all by themselves.

because it can play copied games...as did ps2....but since ps3 cannot...you get the picture...True_Gamer_
So why do the games sell so much? :roll:

The amount of people that pirate these 360 games are so small. Half of them that download can't play them and not every 360 can be modified.

i agree, but it doesn't mean console gaming is falling behind, shadow of the colossus was "new fresh hot" and it still is so like i said... what's your point?

you think you're going to convince anyone by showing trailers everyone here has most likely already seen?

there is talk ou there you don't need to mod your console, In fact i read from pirate that people mod their console don't know what they are doing!

That being said i would really like to see some numbers or proff to back up your statment.

360 has the highest quality and calibur of games. Games like Gears of War, Halo, Mass Effect etc. are amazing franchises that can't be found anywhere else.

Multiplats are usually best on 360. Most of the time they also come out on 360 before ps3 (sometimes like 6 months or more before the ps3 version). When was the last time you heard of a ps3 port coming to the 360? Never only the other way around.

360 is cheaper and delivers a better online experience. Arguably better graphics. Bigger library of games. Better arcade games. Demos of 90% of the games that are released so you can try before you buy. Better more comfortable controller with analogs in the right position (unless you play 2-d fighting games).

I think xbox live had a huge impact this generation. It's basically a online gamers dream compared to what the other consoles offer. Gamers this generation want a fully fledged online platform where you can seamlessly invite people into your game no matter what they are doing, chat with people no matter what they are doing, send messages etc. etc.

PS3 owners brag about multimedia features all the time claiming they have the holy grail of a multimedia system... but if they actually looked and tried everything 360 has to offer they would be blown away. There are 300 movies you can watch in SD and HD and soon there is going to be 10000 when the new dashboard update hits. 360 is a windows media player extender which gives it a whole range of features. Add in all the new features that 360 is going to have... it's going to make the ps3 look like a dinosaur.

In the end it's all about the games. And if you take an unbiased look at both libraries of games 360 has more quality and quantity.

Is a JRPG an RPG in your opinion? IF it is then yes there are MUCH better RPG's on the PC. If you think that JRPG's are not RPG's but a seperate genre entirely then the console is better in that genre.

i don't consider JRPGS true RPGS, i merely call them so because it is the name they are given, i prefer Western RPGs over JRPGS, i also think that PC > Consoles

however blackdream here is just obnoxious and one of the worst fanboys i have ever met

[QUOTE="Sins-of-Mosin"]Let see.. it was not too expensive, has the best controller, easy to work with aka reason why it's the console of choice for developers, does multiplatform games generally better (just look at ps3's baja), does not get bricked from firmware updates, finally the Xbox 360 is known for gaming while the PS3 is known for being the first blu-ray MOVIE player.blackdreamhunk
the console game devs are falling behind take a look at crysis and spore these games are light years head. On the japanses side they having a real hard time.

LBP scored a 9.0. Crysis is merely a very pretty FPS. sorry, but your argument is speculation and opinion.

Because 360 came out first and PS3 was a very high price point to start, putting it in a doubly poor competing position.
