Well I'm definately 1 of them

I owned a Ps1 and Ps2 and never thought of buying an xbox.

The reason i turned away from sony in this gen was the delayed realse of ps3, the ridiculas price, lack of games, no vibration in controller, all the blueray s***.

But even though i love my xbox 360 there are still some games i'd love to come from playstation over to xbox for example- tekken, does anyone think that it will be a cross platform game this gen?

if it is ill cream myself :D

so discuss how you was converted from sony to xbox

I'd say if it wasn't a 1st party game, it probably will be eventually ported if the controls can be adapted to the other consoles. Exclusives just don't really stay on one system anymore, developers want to make as much money as they can to maximize their company( hopefullt to produce better games) ;)

btw.....Welcome to the family :D

Don't worry about some fans here...we don't bite......some of the time ;)

Same here, although I never owned a PS1, I had an N64 that Gen. I've actually changed 3 times in a row now since I have the Microsoft Xbox 360 this time round. I just go to where the games that I want to be playing are. I may also pick up a Wii at some point but there's only really Zelda TP that I want to play at the moment.

I had both PS2 and Xbox last gen. I agree on the price thing, if you get in to spending big money you may aswell get a half-decent pc. I would have liked both consoles, but I can't see the PS3 getting cheap enough to buy as a second console and it sure as hell doesn't come near the 360 for the top spot in my house. All the games I want are on 360. Damn that blueray for pushing the price up.

I think DoA is better than Tekken... The games are the main reason I love the 360. Also, I can stand Peter Moore's grin, but not that of the guys at Sony...

I used to be a Sony Fanboy owning both Playstaion 1 and 2, Nintendo was there also as i've never hated on them and their amazing games, but this generation Sony let me down and Microsoft lifted my spirits. Nintendo is next, and PS3 is.... ehhhhh maybe.

This topic will probably get locked soon, but I'll bite.

I ended up with a PS1 because my brother had one and he gave it to me. It had a mod chip installed in it so I'm like, "Why not?" -- liked Final Fantasy VII, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo and a few other games. More or less stopped playing consoles, went to PC gaming... then I played GTA III over my cousin's house around Thanksgiving and went out and bought a PS2 shortly thereafter... the same evening I met my fiancee, actually. Bought a Gamecube when I found out I could have a disc that had the first two Zelda games plus Ocarina Of Time and Majora's Mask for it... bought an Xbox later on, but ended up selling it because I didn't play it enough (most of the games were available on PS2 anyhow, so Morrowind was my only real loss -- and I played that too much).

I was going to pre-order a 360, wasn't impressed with the launch, so I was going to put the cash from selling my Xbox on a PS3 pre-order. That ended up getting delayed and would've cost me a mint. By that time, 360 was hitting its stride. Bought one with a copy of Oblivion and Fight Night Round 3. I probably won't get a PS3 because of the same reason I didn't get much out of my Xbox 1... too similar to a system I already have. Sony would have to come up with an amazing exclusive and even then I doubt it. I don't hate Sony though... I picked up a PSP a few weeks ago to have Lumines on-the-go, not to mention Ape Escape. Installed some custom firmware on it and I've got Final Fantasy VII now too.

I have literally owned every system since the original pong came out...err my parents bought it but still...every one except the original XBox..I decided to go 360 because it has the games I want and the PS3 is god awful expensive. Whats weird though is I have spent more on my 360(premium+hd dvd+wireless router=$650) than what I would have if I bought the PS3..but my 360 gets worked everyday so its a good investment.

Same here I had PS1 and 2 but once PS3 came out and had no games I wanted to play I bought a 360 for Gears and Oblivion. I still want the PS3 to do well though so when it comes down in price and has some games worth playing I can get one. It really is all about the games in the end and when Sony makes a 5/600 dollar beast but has one game that isnt even all that great (from what i've read) what did they expect to happen??

I know the good games are coming but the 360 has better games out right now and i'm not a very patient person. Neither are a lot of other people as far as I can see. Good luck Sony you're going to need it. That and some good exclusive games...and a price drop...

I had a PSone, Gamecube, PS2, PSP, DS and was very looking forward to the PS3. I still have it but yet to open it because I'm pretty disappointed. There are no games out at the moment that make me wanna open this thing. I have a 360 for this next gen and I'll probably end up buying a PS3 sometime later this year when I come back from my 2 month trip out of the country. I love my Playstation games and all but 360 is a great system. It has alot more different type of games now compared to the original xbox. It had a couple of good games but I didn't like it. It had alot of FPS but thats about it. Sony had everything else! But now 360 getting some of that. I'm pretty much being half converted.

Well last Gen myself and my mate were the only ones who didn't go for a PS2 and went for the xbox . That meant we could only swap/ borrow games with each other whilst the rest of my friends revelled in there PS2 goodness. So this time out we all agreed to go for the PS3 ... but Sony have out priced us all, the delays in EU haven't helped the situation, neither has there seeming less bashing of other consloes on the market coupled with a creepy ego and self beleif that everything they do is the bee's knee's. I was the first to jump ship and now everyone I know is following suit ... I haven't looked back and LIVE is mind blowing. I have never been a fanboy and don't hate anything really but I'm finding SONY harder and harder to swallow.... they really are winding me up!!!

WASN'T....why not love both...and if your a SONY fan then you'd know it took time to win the Gold..I give all systems time.  Halo gave us grief and trust that XBOX would live for many years....and SONY has produced many gamers like us 1st!  Lets just be grateful we can enjoy both worlds.

I also have both systems but my ps3 hardly ever gets played with all the good games out for 360. My 360s disc drive just crapped out after more than a year of hardcore playing. I couldnt make it 2 full days before buying another one while mine gets fixed. That just proves to me how much better the 360 is at the moment.

It may look better but it doesn't play better. I hate the way they changed block from pressing back, it was a seriously bad move. Imagine if they swapped the move and look sticks around in a FPS and you'll know what I mean. Or am I the only one who instinctively presses back to block? lol

Tekken was my favourite fighter for a long time and was one of the reasons I didn't sell my PS2 when I got my Xbox. DOA doesn't come near IMO.

I was in the same exact situation you are, except I only care about GTA4 - which is being releases simultaneously, which solves my problem.

Same here. I'll never spend more than $300 on a console.

You probably bought the better of the two 360's and if you didn't then you probably bought modifications, so you most likely spent more than 300$.

well I am one of those people who are in between the two consoles.. I wanted a PS3 all the time, but for now I am about to change my mind. Sony thinks they are king.. first they let us people wait a year and then they delay the console launch in the PAL region.. a lot of negative publicity.. poor launch lineup of games.. in the mean time x360 having games like GOW, Lost Planet, which I find rallly great.. If MGS4 was also going to be on the x360 then I had already bought that console.. So in short Sony is about to lose me also

This topic sorta allies to me.  I was never a Playstation fan, hated them from the beginning.  My cousins & friends always had Sega or Playstation.  Never cared for Sega either.  Nintendo was my poison & I was die-hard about it.  I went with them up to the game cube & then decided I was getting bored with gaming.  I finally broke down & got a Gamecube.  It was ok but Nintendo is getting to be a system for little kids, I hate pokemon & they have ruined Mario.  You either got 10 diff. versions of the same pokemon game, 1 of a hundred mario spinoffs.  I had Luigi's mansion which I kinda liked even though it was a little goofy, but when Mario Sunshine came out, I thought, Nintendo is sunk.  I went to Best Buy & they had a deal where if you signed up for a year of MSN Internet, you got a free XBOX.  I thought, why not, its $2.00 cheaper than my current AOL.  I signed up.  The rest is history.  I have been singing the praises of XBOX ever since.  I immediately sold my gamecube & never looked Nintendo's way again.  I currently have a PS3, because of a deal gone bad.  I originally bought one the week of New Years because I had actually found it & it was the only one left in the store, I thought eBay.  I got burned cuz I payed $634.00 total & put it on eBay & the highest bid went to $530.00.  I couldn't even get what I payed for it, so I hooked it up.  If my cousin will buy it, it's outta here, if not, bring on Motorstorm, it will be my first game for PS3.  The ones out now either suck or I already own for 360, or are available on 360, but I don't want.  Just thought I'd share.  :D

i dont know if i can say i love my videogame consoles.  i just play what i can either afford at the time.  PS3 imo is just way to much money for basically the same thing 360 offers minus a great online setup such as Live.  the big arguement is that its free apparently, the PS3's online service is this still the case?  i honestly care so little i havent been keeping up with the times.  id be skeptical if it is free since they have to make money from somewhere to run it.  idk just my opinionated .02.

I jumped the Sony ship and landed softly in MS´s arms last year.

It´s MS and Nintendo for me this gen. Mainly because there´s no games pulling me towards the ps3.

It's free, but you get what you pay for, it will never be as good as LIVE.

The first console i ever owned was an Xbox, i had a choice of PS2/GC/XBOX

I've never liked Sony and the GC didn't seem all that tempting so i went with the Xbox and i haven't regretted it, it was the perfect console because i had so much on irl i just wanted to casually play so it surved me well and i never noticed a lack of good games.

Now i've got the 360 and i love it, i play it everyday and just get excited over so many new great games coming out. I've never once even considered the PS3, nothing about it is in the slightest bit tempting.

Might pick up a wii later though if they actually start getting more decent games.

I bought a PS1 and that was all the sony I needed. The ps2 was too much like the PS1 for me so I got the xbox and gamecube, the Ps3 looks much the same to me, so I bought the 360 and getting a wii soon, only for wario ware and zelda though.

I was a pretty big Sony supporter: PS1, PS2, PSP but since last E3 I have become a big MS and Nintendo fan. Forget Sony, at least until they discover their brain again.
