Xbox 360 is the best console of this generation.

[QUOTE="TehNubTuber"][QUOTE="PAL360"]

In fact, 360 has 34AAAs, 122AAs and 146As. PS3 has 32AAAs, 98AAs and 106As. The only logic i see in your post is that there are so many more good games on 360´s lineup that it becomes hard to make a decision. hard decision = bad thing

PAL360

The problem is that you guys think exclusives = lineup. In fact 360 has had more games (overall) every single year

Ill put it to you this way. My friend owned a Genesis while I had a SNES. I tried to explain to him that the SNES was a better games machine, but he loved his genesis so he thought Genesis was better. See, the problem with X console is better then Y console threads is that its all opinon one way or another. Is my friend wrong for liking his Genesis more then a SNES? Was I wrong for liking my original XBOX more then my PS2? Of course not, its all opinon. And honestly, this generation to two main competing consoles are so close that really one cant really say one better then the other without it boiling down to opinon.

[QUOTE="PAL360"]

[QUOTE="TehNubTuber"] Dude it's pointless posting random numbers, the 360 has had the weakest library 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 is guaranteed weakness. Plus even 2007 360 exclusives like Bioshock ended up multiplat. The 360 has by far the weakest lineup this gen.ermacness

More A+ games means more quantity of quality. Also i was using gamespot´s scores.

360

PS3

Who cares about the amount of A games on the console. The fact is no one gives a flying hoot about perfect dark zero, motorstorm 1, and any game in 2006-2007. Should we be impressed that games like pgr3 were decent 3 years ago, or the fact that forza 3 is superior to forza 2 making it completely useless game? I despise irrational counting more and more. I would recommend more playstation 3 games than xbox 360 games thus making it a better console. Plain and simple. It had the better line up in the last 2 years.

Both Ps3 and 360 are the best, what is actuallythe worst, is having only one of them

Quality is AAA. TehNubTuber

Quality is subjective, i prefer longer, deeper games myself, so the 7.5 scoring Lost Odyssey is a far better game to me than the 9.7 socring SMG2 or MGS4, Uncharted 1-2 etc

So, quality is 100% subjective

Owning all of the 3 main consoles makes my opinion better then most.

Why is the 360 better?

Most quality games: No I don't do that ignornant fanboy only counting exclusives. A great game is a great game regardless if it's multiplatform or not. Owning a 360 assures you play most AAA games of this generation. By far more AAA and AA games then the ps3 and wii.

Best Online Network: xbox live is by far the best gaming network. PSn is slow and lacking features compared to Live and Wii's online is a joke.

Best controller: The Dpad being the one weak spot, the 360 controller is the most comfortable and desgined controller amoung all 3. Options of AA, battery pack, or other options is a plus. The rehashed dual shock is solid but I don't like the analog so close and it's small. The wii's is used mostly as a waggle fest.

Least Expensive: You can buy a wii now for less then the price of a wii. In many cases it comes with games to play.

:lol:

Maybe initially. I haven't turned on my xbox, which I've had since 2006, more than once or twice since I bought a PS3 about 8 months ago. I like it the least of the 3 consoles at this point in time.

-the psn allows me to play for free, and I don't know what people are talking about in regards to lag. I can't tell the difference really, though I swear some games on psn are actually faster than any live title I've ever played.

-I'll agree that the controller design is better, but having a lousy dpad is a big deal for me. The ps3 pad doesn't have something that wrong with it that makes some games next to unplayable. So overall the ps3 controller is better.

-as far as price, ps3 and 360 are about the same. I had to get the wireless connector, a non MS one for way cheaper, but then I also had to pay for xbox live. The plus side of the ps3 is it was all there for me, AND it has a blu ray player--one of which will be 3D capable, meaning I wont have to buy a new 3D BD player if I ever decide to get into 3Dtv.

Since I own both consoles, I dont care much about how many Past As AAs and AAAs a console has because I either already played them or I have no interest in them. I perfer to look to the future. Right now, i can find plenty of great games on both 360 and PS3 and thats whatI think people should care about. People looking to buy either console should look at whats out already, but also look at whats coming in the future. If theres more stuff altogether that you want on 360, maybe go with that. If Vice Versa for PS3, go with a PS3. However, evetually I would maybe recommend just getting both one day. Today you can get both a 360 and a PS3 together for the same price you could have gotten a Launch PS3 (well, about). Plus youll be able to get a 360 thats not very likely to break (the 360S) and a PS3 thats cooler and quiter then even the original.

All this talk about AAA, exclusives, metacritic, blah, blah, blah. Here's the bottom line: Are you having FUN with your console. That's how I judge which console is best for me. I have the most fun with the 360 and the overall 360 game library which includes both retail AND digital titles than I do with the PS3. It doesn't mean that I don't have fun with the PS3. It's just that I've had more fun with my 360.

I mean if a game scores AAA status or it's exclusive or has its name in lights on metacritic means absolutely nothing to me if I have no interest in the game or if I don't have fun with it. It's the old cliche: "different strokes for different folks".

No, quality is AA or higher. Evena A game could be considered quality sometimes.

Your PS3 hate has no limits as it seems, MGS4 got AAA-AAAA in most sites, it is one of he best games this generation, every review says so

your opinionsmust not mean a lot if you put them in black

[QUOTE="genaroll"]The 360 is the cheapest out of consoles and handhelds.The 360 is now the cheapest console ever put on the market.yanbuco2712

The PS2 is less than 99$ right now :|

wrong, ,

nintendo wii is b y far the best console heres why

and i own all 3

more quality first party titles

exclusive 3rd party games , which would other wise usually appear on all 3 ,,

lots of them quality

before you go to say oh but its got loads of shovelware im not even gonna include that . .

but i could ,

and it make for a even larger collection of exclusives

and unlike 360 it does not breakdown al most all the time even 5 yrs after release , ,

wiis failure rate is the lowest among all the major consoles

slightly higher sits ps3 at a mear 4 percent

360 however still sits above 50 percent

and

when you add the price of add-ons etc

wii is the cheaper besides ps3 that your gonna get,

ps3 and wii hardly need any add-ons

where as

360 for 5 yrs youd need 99 wifi adapters

50 for xbox live a year not life time of the co nsole which i would have prefered!

60 for games

150 for motion control! (vs 70 ps3 and standard with every wii purchase comes a nunchuck a motion plus and remote , those who dont have the new consoles just paid 19,99 thats it

and its 60 per pair , , that is 10 cheaper then ps3 and just 4 would only cost a tad more then kenict but for those without 360s your not gonna get cheaper

because 360 now cost 300 instead of the 199,99 299,99 configuration there is only one and its 299,99

simply cause they add-ed the wifi and made it smaller !

what about the fact that 60 20 and early 80 gigs ps3s play ps2 and 1 games newer ps3 play ps1 games

360 is not fully bc only bc with a shallow list of games of xbox

wii is 99,99 percent bc with all gc games -w the 1 percent being online only games?enabled and the gbplayer

and plays games from nes snes n64 genesis sms tg16 neo geo vcarcade c64 and wii ware games as well as wii disc games of course

by owning a wii and ps3 you get a variety ,, ,

cant say the same for 360 because most of 360 games end up on wii

such as cod quantum guitar hero rockband nfs etc mainly all its big releases

not counting those small budget releases in between big ones such as fear or prey these are on ps3 , as well but are not quality you expect they mostly take other fpses tactics and use them for it self

hour of victory and dark sector ne 1

Your opinion is no better than anybody who has played video games in the past 20 years.

I do prefer my 360 to my PS3 and PC, but they all have their advantages.

The 360 is the cheapest out of consoles and handhelds.The 360 is now the cheapest console ever put on the market.genaroll

it was never the cheapest except for the short term before wii dropped its price , that was for a now discontinued arcade unit

but add hdd it would cost the same if not 30 more then the elite/slim does right now

oh and did i mention discontinued

thats right

there is no cheaper 360 now!

ps3 and 360 now cost the same ,, , there for making wii once again the cheapest console ! and to own a 360 in the long run its more expensive

to get everything out of it then the wii and ps3

because the cost of online! oh wat about replacment units since almost every owner who owns a 360 is likely to run into problems

more so then ps3 and wii owners

infact my first post proves this --

2 percetn for wii 4 percent for ps3 and qa whoping 50plus percent for 360

which means only 1 thing

you might as well choose a wii and ps3

and be done! oh and a handheld on the side if you choose, ,

cause 360 is on its last legs!

as far as ps2 price is conserned , ,

it doesnt count because thats last gen console!

and for the record gc was 99,99 along time ago , way before ps2 even reached 99 , , or 129 even lol , ,

so why the ps2 wait so long to get 99 is beyond me at this point in time ps1 costed a measly 49,99 /59,99 w monitor

so ya !

the cheaper console to own in the long run is obviously the wii

50 per title( lets give an example ok)

since ps3 and 360 games cost 10 more

if any one were to own 25 titles per console

theyed spend more on ps3 and 360 then they would wii by about 40 bucks or more-new titles only dont count used ones , or older ones

so ya in the long run wii is the cheapest !

heck even day one its the cheapest!

199,99 new gives you -2 games a stand a motion plus remote nunchuck printed material ac cords and av cords

along with sensor bar and even strap and grip

no other console comes with games unless its a limited time bundle

or a stand or anything else theyj ust give you the controller the cord and the av cord , along with console and printed material ,, bla bla bla

for 100 more even!

Ok, dont call me a fanboy or cow or w.e and i really do love my 360 but the playstation 3 is so much better...why? The exclusives....end of story.I am an owner of a : ps3,xbox360,DSlite.

i doubt this will make much sense to you guys but i think the ps3 is the best console it just happens that it's not my favorite console the 360 is my favorite.

i agree with most of this. the 360 has been the best this gen. first party titles have been lacking lately, but there has been plenty of superior multi-plats to keep me busy

Psn is slower but its free. Better games? Most people agree ps3 has wider varriety of exclusives. You can play multiplats on both so it those doesnt count. Better controller? Thats just your opinion, yet again. Less expensive doesnt mean better at all.tommyas

Wii is best

I disagree.

Sure, it has the most quality games. But, the whole point about controllers is subjective and if you have Xbox Live as reason for the 360's superiority, then you have to factor in it's cost which would make it the most expensive console.

Personally, I prefer the PS3's games anyway.

I own all 3 also and I disagree with it being the best of this generation. What makes XBL so good? Because it has cross chat?

I like the analog sticks (not the placement) and the triggers better on the 360s controls than the L2 R2 buttons and the analog sticks on my ps3 remote.

And it's more expensive than the wii and the ps3 (before some probably start quoting my post reading this part saying "oh you don't know what you're talking about it is less expensive", do some more homework on it and then come back to me). It's a good console but I like my ps3 better. But this is your opinion and this is just mine also.

Yep, own 3 and love them all but 360 for me is the best.

There are a few things that kills the 360 for me and is the reasons why I will never buy one.

I am a PC gamer, which really hurts the 360 with me. Almost every game it has that I want is on the PC. The ones that aren't on the PC are on the PS3.

It's hardware is way to unreliable for my taste.

You have to pay for the online service which is inferior to PC online which is free. If you don't have a PS3, then you have to look (well I do anyways) at the fact that the 360 can't play Blu-Ray.

Definately not. The PS3 is a much, much more reliable system, the PS3 comes with much more features (Blu-Ray player, Free online, Built in Wifi, a Hard dirve with every PS3, etc.), the PS3 has more higher quality and rated exclusives, and the PS3 is going to obtain tons of exclusives for the rest of its life cycle. It also has the console graphics kings
