Most likely the PS3. I like 'em both very much, but the PS3 is giving me more bang for my buck now. :)

360. I own a 360 for its (older) exclusives and multiplatform titles, which with a couple of exceptions are always better on the 360 (even ignoring the better controller). I own a PS3 for its exclusives and blu-ray playback.

No one can speak for the majority on here really. I personally perfer the PS3. The 360 is a decent system but nothing special unless you're into multiplayer or pixel counting IMO.

I prefer the PS3.

SW follows my example on many things and console preference is one of them.

IMO XBox360, for my personal taste it has a better library of exclusives. But I woudn't mind a ps3 either.

Actually I'm assuming since the 360 is more popular in the world, it is actually more popular in the world. Sure there's probably a load of PS3 owners on Timmy's block, but that doesn't make the PS3 more popular overall. I'm not sure how this is confusing you.

Maybe you didn;t understand his post., 360 is beating PS3 WORLDWIDE so that would mean the WORLD so far prefers the 360 (ie the WORLD does not include regions):shock:

*EDIT* UFC beat me to it :(

All those regions are part of the world. It is a cohesive whole. The 360 has sold more consoles worldwide. You know.. since worldwide consists of the world. That would make the 360 more popular in the world. The PS3 could be more popular at my local elementary school, but that would not make it more popular in the world. There's no easier way I can explain this phenomena.

So it makes more sense that the console that has sold considerably less, is the more popular console worldwide?

Oh I got ya.

So the 360 has sold a decent bit more than the PS3. But the world really prefers the PS3 because people could have purchased more of the console they like less.

I see I see. Perhaps all those closet PS3 fans are just waiting for the tenth or so price drop. Or they could stop buying two 360's, don't they know that's not helping Sony any?

360 has sold 3+ million more world wide, by that logic the 360 is the most popular console in the world as more people have bought it, he's not talking regional, personally i think they are both awesome consoles i just prefer the 360 mainly because of FABLE and PC/360 multiplats but i do love killzone and infamous.

Yes the world prefers the PS3 over 360 although it has sold millions less because of Spartas situation you heard it hear first, this place never ceases to amaze me.

the problem here is A: your friends and you do not equate to the whole world B:the number of units sold is factual number and the most reliable way to determine which is most popular worlwide C: you are doing the very same thing you are accusing the other guy of doing you are 'assuming' that the 360 is not as popular as the ps3 worldwide

Your friends don't = the world which is the post you repsonded to. Every consumer has a choice to which console they want to buy at the store well millions more PREFERRED to purchase the Wii over the 360\PS3 therefore the majority prefer it understand. Multi console ownership is not the norm, and your situation is not indicative of everyone else. The mojority of buyers PREFERRED the Wii over the other consoles, so please stop the spin.

No. Preferred = More sales. A concept that seems to be difficult.

I posted this in another thread but I feel it's worth posting here as well because it's relevant...

A little old but there's a lot of truth in here whether you like it or not

No. Preferred = More sales. A concept that seems to be difficult.

So gamers like myself who have givin both the ps3 and xbox360 a +1 to their sale totals not get to have a preferred console?

Fair enough of course I never did say that I decided the world.. Just wondering how the preferred=more sales logic worked, suppose I'll have to continue to wonder

Single console owners outnumber multi console owners.

[QUOTE="TH1Sx1SxSPARTA"][QUOTE="UCF_Knight"] So it makes more sense that the console that has sold considerably less, is the more popular console worldwide?UCF_Knight

considerably less lol . sales and prefered console are seperate things, iv bought more 360s than ps3s but that doesnt equal me prefering the 360

Oh I got ya.

So the 360 has sold a decent bit more than the PS3. But the world really prefers the PS3 because people could have purchased more of the console they like less.

I see I see. Perhaps all those closet PS3 fans are just waiting for the tenth or so price drop. Or they could stop buying two 360's, don't they know that's not helping Sony any?

Sparta actually makes a decent point. You can measure sales, but you can't measure personal preference. And sales and preference aren't the same. I own both but prefer the PS3, so how does my 360 sale equate to 360 preference? I even have a friend who only has a 360. He bought it at launch and built up a collection. After playing PS3 at mine and other people's houses though, he said that he actually likes the PS3 better, but with his huge 360 game collection he sees no point in switching over now. And he won't buy a PS3 cause his wife won't let him. So he is a 360 customer, but he prefers the PS3. I'm not saying one is preferred to the other, I'm saying sales, especially when they are that close, is not way to determine preference. It would take a huge poll to determine that.
