i posted a poll a while back as far as what people think is the best console. i've done this a few times and most people vote for the ps3. Is this a case of fanboys wanting to justify their purchase because they spent so much money for it or is there another more logical nonbiased reason?

To be honest I've had a 360 this entire gen. I'm starting to find the games to be missing that extra something and if you have a good reason why i should spend that kind of money now is your chance. To be honest i've held off this long ebcause ps3 exclusives for the most part are pretty limited. I do think it has more potential but it's not really being taken advantage of like i would like.

those are my reasons for holding off.

Well, I do think the 360 is the best console out of the three this gen. However, I've also had a PS3 for a while and must say it's exclusives now are amazing.

The 360 does however have my favorite online service. Both are amazing systems.

Just to let u know though, I've been on these forums for years. Ever since around 2008ish, it's been run by PS3 fans from what I notice

well that's the thing. the 360 is just fine. multiplats run better on it, why i've kept it this gen this long. 90% of games are multiplats. But i do think it's games are missing that extra something sometimes. take mlb 2k10 vs teh show for example. The Show is a proprietary game really taking advantage of the ps3's architecture and it shows what it can do when it's taken advantage of. mbl 2k10 looks just fine this year but it's missing that extra something.

Coming into System Wars to ask for reasons to purchase a console is like dropping a lit stick of dynomite down your pants and then asking someone for sex advice... ...absolutely pointless.

who said it was?

*and now that i think about it it was usually the consoles holding back the PC.(not bashing just stating my thoughts)

but now it seems that the xbox is showing its age and holding back the PS3 with its DVD9, Blu-ray IS the futre,we just have to make the move towards it.

But the next question is for how long until you move to digital distributing

Maybe most people here own a PS3 and not a 360. Honestly they are identical to me. I game on 360 more simply because its more social gaming friendly.

It has the most momentum right now, that's why. If the 360 has the same success this year like the PS3 did last year roles will reverse.

what's even more pointless is responding to a question without even answering it. Which makes it pointless. I don't like you. You've responded to a few of my posts with really rude behavior. You obviously have a serious chip on your shoulder and need to get out more. How about answering the question? Thsi is system wars. It seems like a great place to ask why certain people think a console is better to me.

Some might say it's because there's just more Sony fans in these forums. Considering the PS2 is the most successful console and have the largest userbase, you would assume a large number of those Sony fans are on these forums. Even though Nintendo have a large install base this gen, you can argue those fans are casuals and why would they go on these forums.

There are more PS3 fans that like to troll message boards than 360 fans.

The Bigger Question is why people badger on the Wii for not having games when it obviously does.

Anyway. I have a PS3 and I like what it has. that is all.

You go from first by a mile to last you kinda deserve it, no.

PS3 was in first place? Also, surely you should judge a console by its merits rather than its predecessors? Surely noone would say 'Well its got fantastic games, free online and suits me perfectly...but I don't get out of bed for a console that sells less than 120million'

I think the PS3 APPEARS to be favored for a number of reasons 1- More cows here 2- Cows troll more 3- PS3 had a great year last year 4- MGS4 got a 10 5- Uncharted won many GOTY awards 6- Sony PR Its a known fact around here that cows are more numerous, and more vocal than any other faction. They are like small dogs, their bark is FAR louder than their bite. We hear from cows way more with the trolling, the crazy threads, and poll spamming. Not that other factions dont do these things, but cows have become known for it, just take a look through the first few pages of threads on any given day. Ive been here for YEARS, and this was going on even before the PS3 was out, so none of that "lemmings were bad during the first 2yrs" crap because cows created 360 bashing threads even then.

I dunno, 2010 seems a lot more even to me than 2009 was. It's the first year where the PS3 & 360 are arguably equal I guess.

Corrcet you are, but no one can legitmately deny that the Wii is by far the most bashed. It's just the way SW works.

They're not wrong when they say "lems do it too". No one has undeniable proof that there are more cows here, and being more vocal isn't a reason. I've been here a long time too.

Everybody I know who has a ps3 has eventually gotten a 360 and now barely touch their ps3s except for when new hyped exclusives come out for it. That's why I never got a ps3 since I already own a 360. You'd be better off going PC or wii if you're looking for a new gaming experience.

As i said in an earlier post, you can simply skim through the first few pages on any given day, and see why the PS3 gets hated on so much. Cows BY FAR are the ones who create troll threads, and BY FAR are the ones that troll not only this site, but IGN, Gametrailers, and N4G forums, simply to annoy 360 owners. Again, im not saying lems dont do it, but the "lems do it too" excuse would imply that lems do it at the same rate..........which, as evident by threads here and other sites, is obviously not the case. Dont believe me? Just check System wars first 4 pages, the 360 forums at Gametrailers, first few pages of N4G, Youtube videos, and just about any forum related to gaming.

Then apparently you haven't been here at SW that looks like a concentrated hive full of lemmings gloating about Halo Reach. "Halo Reach will suprass Killzone 2!". "Halo Reach will overthrown Uncharted 2!". "Halo Reach is teh graphics king!".

OR trying to dethrone Uncharted 2. Constant bashing with its graphics. Or saying Heavy Rain is just a movie. "IT FLOPPPZZ!". Or M.A.G. teh sucks.

Eversince the start of this year they've been gloating nonstop all the way 'till this day. NONSTOP.

So like the guy above said, there's no absolute proof that lemmings are ANY better, if at all. Fanboys are the worst. Get it through your skull. And simply move on.
