ummm no, play any major game on both consoles, the games are almost always identical. The PS3 is a lot more reliable hardware wise, has free online play, a web browser, it's quieter, etc etc. And I own all 3 consoles as well.
Umm... The Orange Box?
first of all, i couldn't care less about what some people on a forum think of me. maybe you're the type of person who cares about what people think of him, but i'm just not that superficial. and don't be mad, that's just how you are.Are you trying to make people laugh? Or do you just want people to like you?
Sony just got owned at E3 - FFXIII on 360! One of the only titles which may have saved the PS3 from total obscurity - gone. It is, incase you've been hiding under an enormous rock, the general consensus of the gaming industry, gamers and journalists, that the 360 trumps the PS3 in every department. Online support - we may have to pay a small fee (£3 per month), but we get what we pay for. Well known ACTIVE communities, cross-game chat, and Halo 3 still draws in the players, even a year after release. There were over 2 million games played in the last 24 hours. But most of all - exclusive titles. As I said, a console is nothing without games, and the PS3 has none. Granted, I'll give you MGS4 is a fantastic game, but it's the only one worthy of mention, now that FFXIII has gone cross-platform. How do; Fable 2, Gears of War/2, Halo 3, Halo Wars, PGR, Dead Rising/2 Forza, Mass Effect, EXCLUSIVE GTA IV content, Left4Dead, and Too Human sound? Too bad none of them are on the PS3. The PS3 has nothing that compares, and is widely considered a failure. Your "1/3 failure rate" is wildly exaggerated. Granted, it may have the advantage of the surviving HD format, but we're talking about the two products as video games consoles here. I can get Blu-Ray any time. But it's okay to be embarrased about your hideously overpriced purchase.
2nd, Resistance 1 nad 2, Uncharted, Warhawk, Motorstorm 1 and 2, final fantasy versus XIII, god of war 3, gran turismo series, heavy rain, infamous, killzone 2, little big planet, ratchet and clank, and now bioshock with downloadable content that xbox can't touch
oh and congradulations on microsoft's e3 conference. they're 2 biggest anouncements were 1). avatars that are clear rip offs of miis, and 2). final fantasy XIII. Hooray! the biggest surprise at microsoft's e3 conference was that xbox was getting a multi platform game that will inevitably have to be shipped on 4 discs.
oh and gta IV really sucked anyway so don't use that in an argument
I really don't want to waste my breath. I don't really care if you judge me either. It's pretty pathetic. I'm just going to be honest here, again. If any of those games had been released on the 360, they wouldn't have been noticed.
The Xbox can't touch Bioshock's extra content...You got an extra difficulty and some new stages. We had it a year earlier. A year is a long time in the games industry.
Microsoft now has one of your last two or three big titles. That's a pretty big announcement.
GTAIV sucked? That's just... I can't even understand why you'd say that...

"hmm what could be good for a grand theft auto game.....oh! how about going on a date?! yeah that'll be as much fun as eavesdropping in assassin's creed!"
and again, like i stated before, i couldn't care less what people here think of me, ergo, i don't don't care if they disagree with me. try to think that over.
oh and i'm giving this argument a rest. i know that ps3 is better than xbox 360 and you know that xbox is better, so we're not going to change eachother's minds, which i wasn't trying to do in the first place. type what you will. i'm done.
but i will leave you with this. if you thought the ps3 is such a pathetic pile, why did you buy one? don't bother typing an answer. i just want you to think of what the answer is, write it down, and look at it. look at it long and hard.
end
You can't use that as an argument, with games as smooth graphically and gameplay wise as Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank and countless other multi-platform games running practically identically on both consoles it proves that the Orange Box is the fault of the developers, not the console.Umm... The Orange Box?
well said
De-railing forums!!
It doesn't matter about Final Fantasy, the game is most popular in Japan and it's remaning a PS3 exclusive there! I dread to think of the compression that is going to have to be used on the 360 version and even with that, I can see it being multiple discs.Are you trying to make people laugh? Or do you just want people to like you?

If the 360 trumps the PS3 in every respect then why is it outselling the 360 consistantly despite the 360 dropping in price on a regular basis? Soon you will have to give them away
Whilst PSN is not yet what Live is, it's certainly hot on it's heals! With firmware updates to the machine itself it has come along way since launch. With games such as littlebigplanet where user generated content is going to be huge and possible on PSN but not on the closed nature of Live.
Yes Microsoft will always be able to secure the exclusives as they just pop out the cheque book most third party developers cannot afford to be exclusive to one platform anymore. More and more the PS3 is becoming the lead platform to develop on and developers are getting to grips with what the PS3 is capable of. Naughty dog claims to be using 35% of the PS3's power, have you seen unchartered? If that's 35% I would LOVE to see what they can come up with.
You say you're not a fanboy but you clearly are. Thats not a bad thing, after all, I love the PS3 & Sony and what they stand for. I can admit that Live has some better features but they will eventually come to the PS3 and my patience will be rewarded.
Anyway my fellow Rapturians, sorry for the rant, see you in the challenge rooms
As of April, the 360 had sold 19 million worldwide.
As of the end of June, the PS3 had sold only 14 million.
The key fact you're missing there is that the 360 has been out one year longer worldwide than the PS3 has.
That's Sony's fault. Doesn't change the fact that 360s are in 5 million+ more homes than PS3s.
What it does change however is that it means PS3s are being bought at a greater rate than people are buying 360s.
Take a look here and it's clear, at this length of time from launch, that the PS3 is winning on sales.

Just... Look at the front page of that site. It's more like 6 million more 360s. AND the Japanese have an inherent hatred for the 360.
It's like talking to a wall, I KNOW THE 360 HAS SOLD MORE OVERALL! I'm pointing out that the PS3 is selling at a faster rate this Spring/Summer than the 360 ever has in Spring/Summer. Looking at them both from launch the lines are practically on top of each other untl after this Christmas where the PS3 line goes much steeper than the 360.
I don't think you quite understand, more 360s have been sold OVERALL. How many times do I have to tell you?
This is kind of starting to be trolling.

i know i put our argument to rest yesterday, so this has nothing to do with that one.
alexsutton is saying that even though the 360 has sold more units overall, the ps3 is starting to sell faster than the 360 now. we know that 360 has sold more, and that's attributed to it being out 1 year earlier than ps3.
I get what your saying, I have all three next gen systems, my favorite is the ps3, playstations been around since n64, 1997, so, im making it my favorite, its a classic.
Hehe, I know. Read my post again.
I'm just winding him up.
I would question this! Seriously though, not as a PS3 fanboy. How many of these units are people who have bought a new one because there old one has broken? I mean, I've read on so many forums from people who have had 360's and have sent them to Microsoft to get them repaired. They have then sold their original model to buy an elite or what have you. Food for thought though
lol good pointI would question this! Seriously though, not as a PS3 fanboy. How many of these units are people who have bought a new one because there old one has broken?

Food for thought though
Hm I think its selling 6 million more because everybody has to buy another one after their first one breaks in a pathetic attempt at thinking "Oh that one was a bad one" Im not saying the Xbox is a stupid console im just saying that from what ive read (Including this forum) the Xbox 360 is prone to harware failure,Ive seen posts from people on their 4TH Xbox and it just seems that after the second you'd get the picture. Moving back to the TOPICyes it still is alive.
