The 360 just has a different target audience now than they did in the beginning. They used to make games aimed towards me, which is why I bought the console. Now their entire focus is on infants / babies / toddlers, so I can't say I'm exactly thrilled with my Xbox 360 now. I like games that kids can play like Mario, Mario Kart, Kirby, Zelda and stuff like that, but the Kinect kids games just suck. The controls are broken. At least games like Mario have some of the best controls on the planet.

Thankfully, I also have a PS3 and a Wii so no complaints here.

"Big fights cause slowdown that can freeze the screen for seconds at a time on the Xbox 360 version. Dragon?s Dogma runs much better on the PlayStation 3 than on the 360, with a smoother frame rate and fewer streaming problems"

To me, that PS3 lead is even more impressive because the Xbox 360 had a year long head start and the PS3 is widely regarded as having a slow start games wise.

The PS3 had to release a sh*t load of high quality exclusives in a short amount of time to close the gap like that. There has been a consistent, steady stream of excellent games releasing in high volumes for the PS3.

Multiple reviews are always more credible than 1 single review.

Gamerankings has a criteria to avoid being imbalanced.

It just isn't reliable to take the opinion of 1 single person and roll with it. It's far for efficient to take the opinion of the industry as a whole.

[QUOTE="jonathant5"]Wow, the TC is one of the dumbest and biggest fanboys ever. The X360 has plenty of platformers. And BTW, how popular the game is does not dictate its quality. There are plenty of games that sell a lot and are popular yet are low quality (like 50Cent), and on the other hand you have high quality games that sell poorly. But eh, why am I trying to talk sense with a huge, ignorant fanboy? Probably just wasted my time...GamerwillzPS

Tell me what good retail platformers the 360 has then.

From what I have seen, the TC is correct.

[QUOTE="deadruler08"]kameo is better than any platformer on the ps3. /threadNintendo_Ownes7

Edit* If Microsoft didn't kill it and they fixed the swimming mechanics it could've been Microsoft's answer to the Legend of Zelda series.

The Gamecube controler was fantastic, ergonomic and light. It was just terrible for shooters. Luckily the Gamecube had plenty of other games.

I hope the Wii U tablet is comfortable like the Gamecube pad and good for shooters, that will make it the ultimate joypad.
