X360 or PS3: Which console the majority prefers?

I prefer both.

360/PC have been fighting for my attention since late 2005. So 360 then.

I played ps3 for some decent amounts of time for Heavy Rain, and a few multiplats, but not much else I really care/cared about.

The Wii... I guess there was Wii Sports. Super Mario Strikers was pretty fun for a while too.

i prefer the ps3, but i own an xbox 360 too.

went from 2008-late 2009= preferred xbox 360

2010-onward= prefer ps3

PS3 it has the games I want. The only game I am remotely interested in on 360 is Gears of War 3 and after playing Gears of War 2 I can say that Uncharted 2 is much superior and I'm sure if I thought UC2 was better than GeOW2 then I see no reason why I will think GeOW3 is superior to UC3.

Nice to see so many people prefer PS3, it gives me hope that true gaming is not dead yet.

PS3, the only Xbox360 exclusive that interests me is Gears of War, while PS3 has Killzone, God of War, Resistance, MGS4 etc.

Europe 360? Sorry ps3 sold more here cc 4 million despite launching almost 2 years later after 360. Let alone the fact 360 is cheap as it can be, sometimes difference was like 200 euros(280$).

I prefer both....but i like more the PS3 because of the very good exclusive games(God of War 3,U2,Killzone 2&3,LittleBigPlanet) and the free PSN live.

Well, I have both a 360 and PS3, but I much prefer my PS3. Sales don't necessarily equal preference in all cases.

I used to prefer the 360 because when I was at school I knew a lot of people who played online. Now I prefer the PS3 because the exclusives are much better than those on the Xbox and it's a great all round media player.

I own both but prefer Xbox 360.KC_Hokie

Since we all know the numbers here of cows and lems are about even, yikes, that's a whole lotta lems voting for the PS3. :shock: :twisted:

Anyway, it will likely shock many here but I'll go with the 360. :P

I have a 360, PS3, and Wii this gen. My 360 gets the most playing time. I use the PS3 and Wii for the exclusives.

[QUOTE="lqcevox"][QUOTE="UCF_Knight"] 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.UCF_Knight

If the question is "Which one do more people prefer (which is more popular) now?" the more relevant information to base the answer on is not which one has sold more records overall, especially since that involves comparing uneven periods of time, but rather which one currently sells more. Looking at the last quarter, the PS3 was the more popular console, if sales are an indication of worldwide preference as you have stated. Obviously, popularity swings back and forth; 360 was more popular the quarter before (first quarter in calendar year 2011), but looking back at the last year, the 360 has won 1 quarter, and tied 1, while the ps3 has won 2. So... over the last quarter, the PS3 was more popular. Over the last year, the ps3 was more popular. Over the past 2 years, the ps3 was more popular... In fact, the only way to make 360 win is by including a period of time in which the ps3 didn't exist. Of course the 360 was more popular during that period--it'd be pretty hard NOT to be th most popular when you are the only candidate, but the fact that the lead in total sales is less than it was when the PS3 was released indicates that during the time in which there was actually a choice, the PS3 has been the more popular. The fact that the 360 took 9 months more to reach 50 million sales than the PS3, despite the fact that the PS3 was in competition with the 360 and Wii--and was more expensive than both--the whole time, while the 360 had 12 months of being the only next-gen system to choose from is also pretty compelling evidence over which is more popular.

Oh, and for the record I prefer PS3. lolzUCF_Knight

PS3, of course. Vastly superior exclusive line up, no online fees, lower failure rate, more bang for your buck, Playstation plus service, blu-ray player, better graphics, more classic games, capable of playing PS1 & PS2 games, web browser, less annoying online community

I own both consoles, however I easily prefer the Xbox 360.

I was pro 360 for the longest time... though now I much prefer the PS3. If you had asked me this even a year and a half ago I would have said 360.

PS3 mainly because I prefer the exclusives on PS3 and I don't have to pay $60 a year for online access.Moriarity_

[QUOTE="TH1Sx1SxSPARTA"]the title says "prefers" . not which console has sold most to date. their different things. i have made 2 360 purchases. does that mean i prefer it? nopeUCF_Knight

Yes , the reason it sold more is not because the majority prefers it nor because it's more popular , it's because it was available for a longer time , a whole year , just sum the yearly average sells of the ps3 to its overall number and you will see the xbox fall behind , ALSO , I fail to recognize the republic of the world , so here where I live the playstation is far more popular than the xbox , where you live it's the xbox , you can't generalize and ignore dozens of aspects when the amount of marketing is a hell lot different across the world and most people stick to a single console , which even further decreases the simple matter of 'preference'.

Having both consoles for years I feel very confortable to say that I prefer the ps3.

ALSO , I fail to recognize the republic of the world RoOodriGowW

I own a 360, but the ps3 has been delivering a lot more lately where it matters most; the games.So I vote ps3.
