Seriously, microsoft did a chernobyl on the 360. They wanted to test just how much they could screw their console up and see if consumers will still buy. -The price jacks up - Microsoft JUST DISOWNED their own FANBASE, THEY INSULTED YOU! - Xbox still as unreliable as ever - Low tech and not getting EXCLUSIVES (Sucker punch -Developers are TURNING AWAY from the 360!!! (valve) - XBOX IS LOSING PC-XBOX 360 EXCLUSIVE GAMES!!!

I'm pretty certain none of those are true.

Only thing they've done wrong recently would be the $10 increase on Xbox Live

They are all true Microsoft called their fanbase "Sweaty 30 year olds in metallica t shirts" Low tech= Overpriced periphals that should have been built in Sucker punch never going on 360 because they said themselves it isnt possible Xbox lost mass effect 2 and most likely L4D2

Remember when they said that with Kinect gaming wasn't just for sweaty 30 year olds in metallica t-shirts. Something like that.

That's actually kinda funny, but not as bad as Sony.

When they released the Lavender PSP their website said "Games for Gurlz" and one of the links was "Simple Games for Gurlz"


Let's just say it was edited within that same day :DThat was a long time ago.

Pretty sure Valve hate PS3 more than any problem they have with Xbox Live, and besides, those games aren't exclusive

Isn't that the Wii? Since 360 can do everything PS3 can (gaming wise) and vice versa?

1. Hardware isn't a simple one is more powerful then the other. It's possible that techniques used on the PS3 can't be done on the 360. 2. Where have you been? EA has been sucking up to Sony since last E3. Valve is partnered with EA, so they've been praising the PS3 a lot since then. 3. idk

Man, I swear, in the past day, I've seen about six of these threads popping up. Is Microsoft about to launch something huge or something, or is Sony about to fail at something? I don't get what the influx is for Well, I guess:

The 360 sales were boosted from Halo Reach and a price drop and newly designed system. It's sales are decreasing now. Yes MS threw out a flashy game and a flashy new design, but it wont last long. PS3 is gaining momentum again.

Raymundo_Manuel
its not bad for the new content, but since its ISP based and you might not be able to get that content it should be optional. If aything its about time to make all those good things on live gold cost extra but at least make playing games free. I can't help but feel I'm paying for more then I'm using which is only online gaming.

well M$ is probably pretty accurate on the fanbase, exept I'm dry, 25 and have a slayer tshirt but close enough. Low tech? 360 isn't low tech at all its unified architecture is much much more efficient, ps3 might have more raw power but as far as I can tell its been a close race.. and the HDD's price? well the extra casing will inflate the price a bit, people don't realize casing is probably the most expensive part of electronics have the time. who cares about sucker punch? Unless they are owned by sony its possible to go to 360... xbox hasn't lost mass effect 2, and it won't loose l4d2, (though i doubt its coming to ps3 any way)

Yup, I completely agree. I own all 3 game consoles, because I love games. I didn't buy the consoles because of the hardware, but because of the software that would be played on them. For some reason, some people just don't get that. lol!!

Every year is suppose to be the year of the PS3. This was being said over and over again since the PS3 launched. It's pretty hilarious. The PS3 has lost every holiday and is still safely and securely in 3rd place.

Or maybe consumers are budget conscious since we are still in a trouble economy and want the cheapest way to play the latest HD games.

$200 is a very tempting price when the competition is at least $100 more expensive.

PSN and XBL are not the same service, all consoles manufacturers overprice their peripherals, and it costs $200 to play majority of the games out there today compared to a $300 PS3.

I'm talking about the online service you pay to your internet service provider and then have to pay Microsoft to let you use that service you're already paying for. That means you're paying twice for the same service. And companies overprice accesories but not as much as Microsoft, look at the ridiculous price of the hard drives. Truth is that truly budget conscious consumers will choose the truly cheaper experience and that delivers everything out of the box: the PS3.

So consumers pick the console best suited for their needs? -Paying overkill for accessories that should have been built in - A console with a history of hardware failure - 90% of its library can already be PLAYED on a platform that most electronic consumers already OWN(Pc) -60$ a year for an online service that is free on every single other video game console - A shady point system - A shady company -Not being able to play this gens greatest games (demons souls, uncharted 2, mgs4) - With the rise of HD you will want a blu ray player which will be EXTRA considering the fact that although the 360's competitor has a blu ray drive, it does not. Thus you will have to spend an extra 100-200$ - Huge hassle with getting them to stop charging your credit card, plus it is on their system FOREVER -Many periphals not compatible with 360 thus having to buy microsoft brand products (HDD) Yes, as an electronic consumer that suits my needs EXACTLY. An electronic consumer who, in this economy, is looking for the best deal for my wallet. If you were to show a consumer this list. What in their right mind would make then decide to choose this over a console that doesn't do any of this. But still, consumers choose this console. Why? Consumers are ignorant.

[QUOTE="Zune_HD"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] Budget conscious consumers pay for the same online service twice and buy overpriced accesories? weird way to get conscious if you ask mekuraimen
PSN and XBL are not the same service, all consoles manufacturers overprice their peripherals, and it costs $200 to play majority of the games out there today compared to a $300 PS3.

I'm talking about the online service you pay to your internet service provider and then have to pay Microsoft to let you use that service you're already paying for. That means you're paying twice for the same service. And companies overprice accesories but not as much as Microsoft, look at the ridiculous price of the hard drives. Truth is that truly budget conscious consumers will choose the truly cheaper experience and that delivers everything out of the box: the PS3.

No one is making you purchase XBL. It's completely optional. Yes their HDD are expensive, but look at PS MOVE or Wii controllers/Wii fit board, it's how console manufactures make a lot of their money. Yes the PS3 gives you better value, but it doesn't change the fact that the XBOX 360 is cheaper.

I'm pretty certain none of those are true.

Only thing they've done wrong recently would be the $10 increase on Xbox Live

They are all true Microsoft called their fanbase "Sweaty 30 year olds in metallica t shirts" Low tech= Overpriced periphals that should have been built in Sucker punch never going on 360 because they said themselves it isnt possible Xbox lost mass effect 2 and most likely L4D2

L4D2 and ME2 aren't exclusive. I love how cows make them exclusive when it suits their arguement.

[QUOTE="DogOfWarIII"]And don't give me that "You can't play halo reach on any other console" So your gonna buy a console for 1 or 2 games?

much like alot of people did with ps2 and ps3? GTA and FF is what they waited for and which eventually became multiplat. Don't act like the ps3 isn't purchased by alot of peopel waiting for that killer app.

The 360 sales were boosted from Halo Reach and a price drop and newly designed system. It's sales are decreasing now. Yes MS threw out a flashy game and a flashy new design, but it wont last long. PS3 is gaining momentum again.

you mean like sony did last year with the slim and uncharted 2?
