Xbox 360 Vs. PS3... Honestly who is winning? Stay out of it PC.

I personally think no one is but if you own it, you defend it.

At the moment PS3.

The last few years have been tight, though.

2005-2008=360 wins 2008-present=PS3 wins thats how i see itTH1Sx1SxSPARTA

Exactly what I was going to say but more like 2009-Present PS3 wins since PS3 games started rolling at late 2008.

Y u no like pee-see? :P

Sony got their ass kicked this gen, they lost way too much market share. MS won this battle; blind fanboys will say otherwise.

Why does the PC have to stay out of it?

For the vast majority of people this is a completely irrelevent question. Both systems are winners and you can't lose if you chose one over the other. As a nerd however, here's how I see it:

Hardware: PS3 (largely due to Blu-Ray drive and mandatory HD drive. No comparable RRoD early on is a nice bonus)

OS/Dashboard: Personal Preference I guess

Media Capabilities: Dunno. Maybe PS3 (Blu-Ray capability, browser, etc.)

Online Store: Personal Preference I guess. Seems there's sufficient content on both.

Network: Personal Preference. Live seems more feature rich but then you have to pay for it (the preference part)

Multiplats: Tie. Some will argue Xbox, but seems the disparity is largely gone and there have been a few PS3 wins recently. If you have to get a blown-up still image to argue about individual blades of grass, well, more power to you...

Exclusives (volume): PS3 in a landslide. Check out (particularly the last 3 years):

MS:

Sony:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_published_by_Sony_Computer_Entertainment#PlayStation_3

Exclusives (quality): PS3. I don't have the numbers in front of me to prove it and I could be wrong. Keep in mind that most of the big AAA MS exclusives came before 2008 and might not be AAA caliber today (cough cough PDZ). Or there are multiple versions of Forza. Are you really playing Forza 2 now that 3 is out? Will you play 3 when 4 comes out etc. Of couse Sony has this with MLB as well...

Exclusives (variety): PS3. If you own a 360 I hope you LOVE Halo, Forza and Fable. Or dig Kinect family games.

Sales: Xbox in a landslide. Not only have they sold more worldwide, but I'm pretty sure they ate Sony's lunch when it came to business plan, profit, etc. But do you honestly care? Since they both get all the major 3rd party games, how does that impact your enjoyment?

I'm clearly biased. I'd really love to see MS make some great games and invest in this. I'd jump on the bandwagon if they did.

I'd say 360 is doing better, but I still prefer my PS3.

I'd pick PS3 easily. Everything on 360 worth owning (minus Gears and Forza) you can buy on PS3, then you have all the badass exclusives that the PS has, this is of course just my thoughts but there's no way I'd regret having a PS3.

You know why :P,

I say 360.

360 won up untill MGS4 was released, since the release of MGS4 it's been all about the PS3.

[QUOTE="dk00111"][QUOTE="TH1Sx1SxSPARTA"]2005-2008=360 wins 2008-present=PS3 wins thats how i see itBigBoss255

Yeah, I'd go with something like this if "Winning" = games... which it should. So, flip a coin at this point? :P

PC! Er, Whoops...

Because the TC framed the discussion as such, and trying to derail a legitmate discussion could be considered disruptive posting (moddable)?

For me, the PS3 is winning. The reason? I got rid of my 360 and kept my PS3.

In a straight up battle between 360 and PS3, 360 easily wins. More games, more sales, better services.i5750at4Ghz

Winning at what?

If at sales numbers/profit, Xbox.

If at review-scores from exclusive titles, PS3.

If by common sense and great games, BOTH GENIUS.

/thread meaningless.

So many correct answers here. Basically, 360 had it 2008 and before, but the PS3 pretty much became better in 2009 and foward.

Well both companies are technically winning because they both are selling a lot of consoles and software. Props to both for making awesome consoles.

I remember in early 2008 when it was time for me to go "next gen". My dad and I were at Wal-Mart and I still remember having to pick between the 360 or PS3. Easiest decision of my life. At the time the 360 was 100 dollars cheaper, had Mass Effect and a **** other games, while the PS3 had Ratchet. I remember still wondering why people bought PS3's in the first place. Of course Blu-Ray wasn't to popular at the time. I assumed that the PS3 would fail.

Fast forward to June 2011, my 360 had red ringed soI had to geta new console,I got a job now so I make my own money. Me and my friend went to Gamestop, and I just looked at the gaming library. The PS3 just has so many more exclusives, that it was no contest. I picked the Ps3 and haven't regretted the purchase one bit. Funny how things change over time.

This is a gaming forum. We post here because we like games and we're good at them. No one can deny that the PS3 has a much wider selection of quality games than the 360. So "winning" for us should mean which console has the better games at a time. Not which console sells more. I could give a sh** that the Wii sells more than the 360 or Ps3, if it has no games.

So for that reason, like was said before the 360 destroyed the Ps3 from 05-08. And the PS3 has "won" from late 08-now.

PS3 won for me. Every game the 360 has I can get on the PS3 and/orPC, so I have no reason to get a 360. Yeah yeah, you said leave PC out of it, but to that I say HELL NO!!!!!!! I own a PC and it plays a roll in my console choices, so deal with it.

PS3. Since it released, it has sold more than the 360 with the exception of a few months here and there. Also, its software lineup seems to be continually improving, while the 360's lineup seems to get worse every year.

So that stuff plus the more valuable retail package that the ps3 is, and I'd definitely say that's a win.

I'm interested to see how things go down next gen. Hopefully, both consumers and console manufacturers have learned quite a bit this gen, and we'll see what they both took away from this gen next gen.

The PS3 is definitely starting to win now.
