[QUOTE="Odrec"][QUOTE="nmaharg"][QUOTE="Odrec"]

They play better according to whom? For example, PS3 2009 multiplats have, in general, better scores than 360 2009 multiplats according to Metacritic.

Is there like an ultimate gaming authority deciding that multiplats are better on 360 by default somewhere?

Check the forum before you make pointless posts. So you are pointing me to another forum full of opinions (and most certainly fanboys) as the ultimate gaming authority on deciding multiplats are superior on which console? :roll:nmaharg

Why should it matter? I have had more fun with games the have mediocre graphics then games with amazing graphics. I would much rather play Lost Odyssey, Too Human, Mass Effect, or Culdcept Saga then any of the "graphic kings" this gen.

[QUOTE="ermacness"]i asked you to put down games that defines the 360's power and all you did was list a bunch of multiplats that marginally looke bettr on the 360. The multiplats argument would hold a little bit more weight if you guys had top tier looking sxclusives to match, but in reality, you don't and there's proof that multiplats can look and perform better on the ps3. So i ask you again and to be direct, "What exclusives does the 360 have that's visually stunning besides the Gears series?"

In other words, I don't pay attention to graphics. However since you can't understand that, yes no game can beat or come close to Uncharted or Killzone 2, now go play your graphics.

Well, it's easy to understand why what happened happened. PS3 is more or less a "luxury" console with lots of bells and whistles while 360 is a basic console that you can get for as little as $200. In this economy, people are going to decide against the luxury model and choose the cheap model, especiallywith the cheap model's amazing library.

Hey people have their own opinions; I have put in about 80 hours into it, more then most other games this gen. Obviously I found something I liked and played it.

[QUOTE="simslifer"]

it's not exclusive it's like comparing games that are both on wii and PS3 or PSP and PS3 and saying it's exclusive to the PS3 lineup then we could add Ninja Gaiden Sigma and MLB The Show 09 getting 6 AAAE it shows desperation on your part.

multiplats are just multiplats and arent ownage meterial.

simslifer

the Final Fantasy Series was never exclusive so wether it was once thought of as exclusive I don't know but it's always been in different systems so it's no surprise it is still multiplat.

it started in NES and even made it's way to the Xbox 360 before Final Fantasy XIII.

You seem to be making the mistake of thinking that just because the FF series has flitted amongst multiple consoles (true) making the series not exclusive over it's lifetime (also true) means that individual installments have not themselves been exclusive (not true). FFXIII was exclusive, you denied it, you were proven wrong by footage I provided, and now you're saying "I don't know." Well, we know you don't know what you're talking about, of course, but don't say you don't know something when I have proven it with actual video footage from Square Enix themselves.

This is the first six months of this year compared to the first six months last year (NPD)

The 360 and the DS are the only systems to see growth. The 360 seeing a 21% increase.

The Wii while seeing a decrease in numbers it is still the clear leader in the consoles.

Sony looking bad all around. The PS3 seeing a 30% decrease a large decline in sales.

Looks like you are going to post any PS3 exclusive with good graphics. Well, 360 has some too. Kameo, banjo N&B, PGR3, 4, Ace Combat 6, Halo Wars, Fable2, etc....

lol.....Don't you normally say the same thing he did about the game library when you compare the PSP vs DS?

Nah the DS and PSP are pretty neck to neck. DS has more AAAs and less AAs but PSP has more AAs and less AAAs so it's pretty equal in the end.Both are pretty good systems.

Are you going by just GameSpot? Because the DS is far ahead of the PSP in terms of AAA, AA and A games.

Well, the best one is Gears2. Still i think you should try Banjo N&B, Ace Combat 6 and others before bashing their graphics. They are some of the best looking games this gen on consoles and imo on pair with the games on your post. and Motorstorm PR....really? :|

Animal-Mother

i agree with u on gamers will game

it all comes down to the actual gamer and what they prefer

me for example own all 3 systems but my Wii and Xbox 360 are put away the Wii i never used(since i mario galaxy)and the Xbox360 i stopped using once i lost my xbox live so all i use now is the PS3

i don't care which system is better since i own all of them all i care about is good gamesand competition to make companies put effort in making good games for what ever system(s) they choose

if u want to go by numbers how bout theXbox 360 failure rate? am sure its not good

and as far as sales then the king is Nintendo

am thinking all this 360 fan boys that bomb the threads are prob doing it cause their Xbox360 was sent in due to red ring and their still waiting to get it back lol

This is getting annoying. Cows cry about sales and discredit them, lemmings brag etc. Can we discuss the numbers people? Maybe its time for me to make a thread on the importance of sales again.

So we all know what the PS3 needs if Sony wants to try to make a run for 2nd place... but I think their mind is on making a profit 1st and worrying about market share 2nd which they should be doing because theres plenty of time left this gen and theres no where for the economy to go but up now.

sales are important to manufacturers but not to us gamerseven if the game doesn't have a sequel the first game is still on the market and still better and rated higher than the competition games.

I thought you guys said Little Big Planet is a sales flop and Resistance ? so why does both those games have a sequel and LBP is even getting a psp game ?

Well next gen Sony better not bank on the namebrand selling console till it starts getting games or there wont be a PS5. Cause if the 360 launched like thePS3 it would have been abandonded 3 weeks later.

The people who said resistance and LBP were sales flops were wrong to call them that. They sold multi millions, that's not a flop in any way shape or form. Use better examples next time.
