I'm switching full time to Xbox next-gen. Not wasting my time with Sony anymore. They keep making their stuff worse, like recently the disaster of a mess they did with the PS Store.

Quit PS3 after my 2nd YLOD. There have been a couple games I would have liked to play, but I certainly don't miss the console. This gen made me move back to PC gaming.

It'll be 2013 in a few weeks, but we're still doing this. This is kind of mental at this point.

I actually don't mind Xbox360 too much anymore. I used to play it all the time until my PS3 took over. I recently traded in my half working Xbox360 Elite and got an Xbox360 Kinect 4GB bundle for under $100 and I'm having fun with it.

Mind you I only ever plan on playing Blops 2 and Halo 4 on it (and maybe Dance Central 3 here and there). Whereas I play all other third party games on PC (along with exclusives), and I'll continue to play PS3 for it's amazing exclusives and whatever else I get through PS+ and some third parties like DmC, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, etc.

It's good to be a Multiplatform gamer. As for next-gen, I'll be starting with Sony (I don't count my PC, even though it'll probably be better than next-gen consoles). Since they've done nothing but impress me with their games, and dedication to the gamer. Then I'll get Microsoft's nextBox, followed by Nintendo's Wii-U.

enough with these horrible articles

This article is like 10 days old!
Why is this posted now?

Reminds me of the time my Honda Civic broke down and I blamed Ford. Funny old world huh? s/

I owned all 3 consoles and a gaming PC.
I got rid of my wii and xbox.... perfect combo is ps3 + PC.

Sorry but many of the multiplatform games suck graphically both on xbox and ps3 vs PC.

And nowdays comparing slight differences between the two platforms is not a strong argument.

If you dont have a PS3 your missing alot on gaming honestly but hey many ppl like multiplatform games also

My PS3 has served me well as a blu-ray player and an exclusives platform, for things like Uncharted and Killzone. So I'm glad I bought it even if its role is limited.

All these 2$ websites and their articles that are so much garbage. Peter i wouldnt quit my day job at burgerking cause this article was shit.

Weak take.

If this guy was well informed the PS4 is going to be using over the shelf parts. Which means it's not going to be hard to develop for. As for myself, I use to own a 360 along with my PS3 and I got rid of the 360 completely. I went through 4 failing 360's and to go along with paying for the Xbox live scam and I decided I was done with MS. All companies are here to make money but MS is ripping off there customers really bad. Their online service is nothing but p2p online gaming in which Steam and PSN provide for free. PS3 is where my gaming is at and will probably always be that way. And I'm actually subscribed to a service (PS+) that actually feels like they are giving you something for your money. I feel like Sony are more for the gamers.

First World Problems

But Wait a minute? People are yelling troll article? What about Xbox Live is Dead" article. Is that not a troll article?

I get it, its been a while since we seen these kind of articles come through, somebody favoring an Xbox over a PlayStation.

If you read the article scroll down to the very bottom. Hes saying thats how HE feels. Hes not speaking for nobody but himself. If he doesn't like it so be it?

There's allot of common ground on this site when it comes to console favoring obviously. Hes not trolling or starting a war or anything.

If the authors 360 crapped out why not waste the cash on another 360. Instead of wasting the cash on a console he is going to bad mouth and hates to play. Honestly flame wars with consoles are just getting stupid. When I buy a console I look at the options and games its going to offer and what I am comfortable with and what makes me happy as a gamer. I choose to play my PS3 and I am quite happy with it and I am enjoying Epic Mickey 2 on it. I play my 360 and my Wii. Going to wait on the Wii-U. I honestly don't know how this article got approved. This isn't a new story its another console bashing article.

Funny how gamers are suddenly turning everything into a Soap Opera.

You know.. I like articles as much as the next guy, but when it comes down to stuff like this.. I've seen it way too much. I come here for NEWS.. even if it is the slightest bit of information. Articles like this should be avoided so journalist understand that places like this can't be pushed around into giving their site traffic, etc, etc

And I mean this for all articles that do this to any console; "WII U DOOMED" "WHY XBOX LIVE IS DEAD"..

52 comments already ?? This will make top page again .. Not Surprised since we haven't had a doom sony article on top article in a while. All this in less than an hour lol

Hey, there's gotta be a 50/50 chance that someone is enjoying the PS3 that I traded in at Gamestop, unless they traded it in, too. Maybe it's just sitting in a warehouse or stockroom somewhere now...

the console they love to hate...give it a rest.!

fine, i will actually read your article:

- "the trophy system never compared to achievements": right, because these are integral parts of your gaming experience, and both of them do SO MUCH to improve the community. How do you even compare these arbitrary number tracking systems?
- You seem to care about multiplatform titles the most. Great decision switching consoles there.
-Oh, I'm sorry. You played MGS4 AND God of War III? Oh, I'm sure you've tried your very best to get the most out of exclusives. Certain you just forgot to mention any titles like Killzone, Resistance, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, Valkyria Chronicles, Warhawk, LittleBigPlanet, Yakuza, inFamous, Journey, etc. Because I'm certain you aren't just writing on the internet for attention instead of branching out and trying new games.
-right, and it had no chance to compete with the Wii. Because the Wii ports are known far and wide for their superior quality.

Is this satire? I can't even tell anymore...

you could always boot up that ol' 360 and play slightly improved versions of,for the most part,sub par games.
couldn't you?

Woah is it 2007 all over again :yawn:

If you want superior multiplats, perhaps you should pick up on Pc gaming?

So Red Dead was like 580p on PS3...but wasn't it still sub 720p on Xbox? As is the case for most games?

People do tend to stretch the word "superior" when talking about console multiplats...lol

Your mom was a disappointment.sell your ps3 and get yourself an xbox and gtfo.

Stupid article stupid writer

I've owned 360, Ps3 and Wii since launch. The worst experience between the three is still the red ring of death. Nothing can compete with that criminal business strategy.

i expect this kind of articles after ps3 hits 70M units same with xbox360 but having more than 1 year headstart.

and i will expect more in the following days.

these are loser xbox fanboys at its finest denials... sad but true.

My fellow Sony gamers, the truth of the matter is, Sony is continually providing high quality entertainment in the form of killer franchises such as Killzone, God of War, Uncharted, Killzone, and much, much more! Sony was (and still is) the only company that provides though provoking games such as Heavy Rain and Journey that only classy, mature, and intelligent gamers could appreciate.

Of course, the biased media and the 360 fanboy extremists whose fanaticism is only BARELY matched by Al Qaeda suicide bombers, will beg to ask the question: If Sony is providing high quality entertainment, then why sales doesn't reflect it? However, the appropriate question ISN'T really why Sony is faltering, or why PS3 hardware and software sales are lagging. The real, appropriate question would be this: Why, and when, did the video gaming world go to hell with its sickening appreciation of Angry Birds as a "true video game" and the laughably mediocre Kinect games as "the next evolution of video games". This is a definitely a deja vu moment back in the early 90's when the world thought that FMV games with bad acting were viewed as the next generation of games. The difference between now and then is that FMV was thankfully avoided. This time, however, mediocrity as championed by the out of touch media and deranged 360 extremists are seriously clouding the future of the videogaming industry.

We may not be in a civilization ending apocalypse right now, but the Sony gamers are currently witnessing the beginning of a videogame culture ending apocalypse. With the whole world going irreversibly mad with casual and soul destroying Kinect Dance games, as well as gamers openly letting MS rape their wallets, Sony gamers are continuing to preserve traditional, hardcore gaming. Sony gamers right now continue to support Sony not because of blind loyalty. Rather, Sony gamers see themselves as the true vanguards of traditional gaming and its last, true adherents. With patience and tenacity, the Sony gamers' continued support for high quality Sony products may well convince the videogame industry that casual and Kinect games are, like the Sega CD FMV games, NOT the future of our beloved videogaming culture.

Sony Gamers Lead the Way!

why do these articles get approved. HEY I GOT A XBOX, PS3 SUX. LOL.

People are still bringing this up?! Idiots still get attention by bringing this shi# up?!?

Even though the 360 versions of multiplatform games do look better, guess what?

PS3 owners are still playing the SAME exact game.

SAME STORY
SAME GAMEPLAY
SAME LEVELS

So this whole, it looks better on 360 is only used in console wars, but really doesn't mean much. Remember PS3 gamers are still playing the SAME game.

The big problem with the PS3 is the controller. A 2D controller design used to play 3D games. \

360 fanboys are the worst.

I always buy multi-plats on 360... ps3 always seems to get the short end of the stick... games like skyrim and blops 2 are prime examples..

I love my ps3, but the amt. of quality exclusives in the last year has been pretty weak... can't wait for The Last of Us...

Why are people surprised really? These types of articles will ALWAYS exist as long as there is more than 1 console on the market that provides similar/same games. It has been that way since the nintendo/master system days only it wasn't as rampant and accessible because of print media...

these articles will in fact continue perhaps more so in the next generation. They don't hurt anyone, it's just one person's opinion based on their experience...There are articles like this for everything we buy...tv's, radios, music, food, furniture, and even dog food...
Some people prefer honda over toyota, some like red wine over white...it's ok, you want to know why? Because there is a little something called "freedom of the press" and "freedom of speech."
Why on earth people get bent out of shape when someone prefers one console over the other is beyond me. Nowadays they call it "trolling" like it's taboo to like or dislike one console...grow up people! Every console has it's pros and cons, why is it bad to point that out whenever we feel like it? I've experienced just about every console known to man and today i prefer just one; should i be shunned for it now?? Give me a break.

Crap articles and sales articles always seem to make it to the top.

It's good to see an article bashing on something other than the Wii U for once...

PS3 for exclusives
360 for exclusives and everything else

PS3's exclusives and their graphics still wipe the floor with the competition!

Go play some PS3 exclusives and tell me the graphic and game running problems are because of the hardware.

My butthole smells like shit

Peter Sterritt writes stories and is Famaous for .........gay porn I've never saw him but I hear he's in to that crazy jump off a roof and land on a .... well you know what I mean. It's Harecore. Real criminal stuff. He has to be better at that, than these articles.

I understand some of his points, but as far as the PS4 goes, Sony is finally going with a more standard processor instead of a cell chip. This will make it much easier to program for, thus making multi plat games more on an even playing field. That paired with free online play, and some great exclusives, should help Sony make a major comeback in the next Gen.

.

i like how he wrote that entire article bitching about ps3
after he admits his box "tanked"

rofl

TEH PEE ESS THREE IS DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED

:/

Aww the good ol crown, if anything is said against their system they simple lose all rational

PS3 did not do as well as the PS2 and likely will not reach the same milestones at the end, it has had some victories but not enough to be consider better than the PS2

The WiiU will not be better than the Wii

The Xbox 360 was better than its first gen machine however that was easy considering it only sold a low amount

Next Gen we find out who the real winner is - PS4 (Orbis) vs Xbox

Xbox has its game plan, Sony has learned from their mistakes, there will be no excuses for shotty hardware or a lame online

BRING IT!

I own both consoles so I can say this with complete confidence...In what world is it OK to call the console that didn't crap out on you the disappointment? I have been through 4 xbox360's until I bought my slim. I love it. I love halo as much as the next guy, but to call your ps3 disappointing because third party developers are lazy with the ps3 is absurd. By the way The Last of Us say's high, you cynical bastard.

Don't forget about BF3 ;D

In all honesty the PS3 is a great machine, I loved mine until it decided to not turn on (I'm a 360 and ex ps3 owner)

When I picked up my 80 gig PS3 a few years back, I purchased Socom Confrontation, LBP, KZ3, Uncharted, Warhawk and all that other goodness. I don't know why people bash it, sure some games don't play as well as they do on 360, but the ps3 has far better exclusive games. I'm on my 360 now and stuck with turd ops 2 and BF3. I'm not a fan of HALO, and gears is well gears (Killzone > gears)

Wow! How did this articles get approved? The PS3 must really be close to passing the 360 in worldwide sales.

The fact that a grown man wrote this, pining for his broken system and achievements, is kinda pathetic. Might be time to quit blogging, get a better job and buy -both- consoles?

Who's bitching about trophies in 2012 anyways? Not as good as achievements? Maybe to a fanboy. They're the exact same concept. Kicker is he's calling the inferior afterthought one the one that has platinum bonuses --that don't go away when DLC comes unlike the completed game status on 360 which DOES--, along with no value caps, time/date stamps for everything AND sorting options by DLC, alphabetic, and online/offline playlists

As for complaining about textures or frames in the games he did. Hmm. Might have more to do with the fact the guy just has s%&* taste in games with poor production quality overall. Don't go looking for DragnonBallZ to be GOTY or whatever.

It only does RRoD

It has tons of amazing exclusives with lots of variety, free online, rechargeable remotes standard, is highly compatible with off shelf products meaning no proprietary HDD ripoff bullshit here, and take any storage device that's properly formatted, and can easily store and play nearly any media you throw at it, not to mention compatible with any bluetooth or usb headset/mouse/keyboard. Also for the past year or so there have been very few titles that are noticeably worse on PS3 when compared to 360(in fact the only ones i can think of are the ones you mentioned), but the same goes both ways. this shit is pathetic, i seriously hope the makers of these dumb ass troll/flamebait articles get a limb broken

Yawn,
Topic: played out.
This article is sooo 90's.
You guys know nothing of "hardware differences".
I remember the days where you had to choose between an SNES Mortal Kombat which replaces your blood with sweat & a trashed soundtrack or a Genesis Mortal Kombat, which gives you a better soundtrack but clumsy controls (oh, & blood).
I remember when a game could have the same name but be completely different on each console (Tiny Toons, TMNT;Tournament Fighters, etc.).

So all this bickering & clucking these fanboys are doing just seems so 'meh'
Be like a flower*, & grow a little.
*Oh, Sorry, my bad...Flower is PS3 exclusive...
;^>

2007 called, they want this article back where it belongs.

lmao, no clicky from me. This is why the industry is growing stagnate.

There really is no point to counter these articles anymore. Its tempting, I know, especially when their values are inconsistent and in much need for correction.

However, I've gotten to the point where I think its a better thing to let the ignorant consumer learn the hard way instead of trying to convince them otherwise.

All I know is I'm happy with my PS3 and the complaints about it are more the cause of gaming in an online industry...not something console specific.

Hey buddy do us all a favor sell your ps3 and go buy another xbox. I am very happy with my ps3 and the graphics are stellar. You people who go out of your way to bash ps3 boggle me.I dont care for xbox but you dont seeme going out of my way to bash the console. GET A LIFE LOSER!

Well my ps3 has been nothing but a joy for me and because of it I became more of a gamer this gen. The dude might not like his ps3 but some of his complaints are pretty dumb.

You can't pay me to hop on the xbox bandwagon. LOL! 3 things you can count me out in. facebook, xbox, and FPshooters (except for counter strike global and time splitters).

Thread delivers some salty tears.

But yeah, guy is kind of a tool. Doesn't mention anything about PS3 first party and that makes the machine imo. I'm bummed I gave him a hit and wasted 2 minutes of my life

he is right, after 6 years we cant still blame bad ports. the facts are the ps3 is underpowered compared to 360. low ram, slow read speeds on dvd, and cell single core structure is crap for gaming. i have both machines and the 360 is clearly more powerful.

framerate is the best indicator of graphics power, the only difference between a gtx 660 and gtx 680 is framerate. any graphics card can render, its the fps that differs. and ps3 framerate is always lower.

im not a hater just saying what i see.

This article has "I'm an Xbox fanboy" written all over it. If your Xbox died, why didn't you buy another XBOX? #LogicFail - that or #FictitiousScenario #ExcuseToTroll

just thought of something. maybe ps3's biggest problem is that it runs on Linux, no dought this will effect ps4 to. i mean who the hell has a linux gaming pc.

i agree with the author of this article. all i have ever been was disappointed with my purchase of the ps3. i bought it for MGS4 when it came out and was disappointed that it was more of a movie than a game. over the years i have bought and tried other games but found myself either feeling like the game wasn't good or just wasn't interested in finishing it or (mostly) just plain trash. only game i like was demon soul and the second game they went multiplat.

i highly doubt if i will buy the ps4 or any other sony platform ever again. there's nothing on it that makes me feel like it's a must have game or the exclusive hold any interest for me. my ps3 has so much dust on it. that it looks like one big dust ball sitting in the corner. now they are saying that the ps4 won't have BC so it makes it another reason not to buy the system nor keep the one i got.

this is just my feeling on the matter. I don't care who disagrees.

a new generation is coming and guess what
again sony is shit sony is bitch sony is...
go fu-k yourself with xbox dickhead
multiplatform=PC all the way

Dont read this garbage

I have all 3 systems and although I have an attachment to my ps3. And feel that its a unique system. There is no denying that overall the xbox is just the better way to go.

The only thing I can add is that if my xbox dies. I'm not worried. I just switch the hard drive to the new system and I'm ready to go. But if my ps3 dies and I switch the hard drive to a new system. It reformats the drive. And lose everything. This has happened to me twice in one year.

Both systems to me are extremely unreliable. I'm a heavy gamer. I've had the white xbox get the red rings three times. I bought the new Slim at first chance and so far so good.

I had the original PS3 (60 gig) which I felt was the overall best system. I have a huge library of PS2 games, and even though I don't play them often, its still nice to know that I have it available. That is, until that PS3 died in 2010. Then every repleacement SOny sent me after that kept dieing.

I was forced to buy the slim. And now have to re buy a PS2 that I sold in the first place to help with the cost of a $600 system.

The Trophy system does feel weak. Sony can do something unique like offer leaderboards or change up the PSN Gamercard. But its' been the same since 2008. I just don't get it.

Don't get me wrong. I do love my PS3 and everything. And I think it does offer some really unique and awsome games (motostorm, Resisance3, MGS4 etc) there's just a lot more frustrations with it.

And if the rumours are true about the PS4 not having backwards compatability with the PS3, I will be very sad. Cause from what I hear the next xbox will play 360 games.

The Xbox360 v PS3 is essentially like the Megadrive v the SNES. The latter is capable of the very high best high end things technologically (Donkey Kong Country and perhaps Uncharted respectively) and the PS3 might even still sell more worldwide but the console that was released first may sell more in the UK and North America. But even a relatively small number more of PS3s being sold worldwide would be a great success for the Xbox360 after the head start that the PS2 had in sales. The original Xbox was on a lot of people's radars as having great graphics and trying admirably hard to get a foothold, sometimes with amusing results, such as loads of platform mascots being spun out, enjoyed for a bit and then forgotten about. But the Xbox wasn't necessarily in their homes because it was too bulky looking in a mid range PC in a box way and it lacked some 'must have' series like Resident Evil. But it made an interesting start because Sega made some games for it, it got Half Life 2, it got Doom 3 and games that I had never played before like Dead or Alive. Maybe some really did regard it as the spriritual successor to the Dreamcast in all but looks. Whatever, it bludgeoned its way in to the market as intended and set the groundwork for the Xbox360, with its better looks and more refined marketing, to be the real sales success. And the Kinect will have helped a lot because it really showed that they were committed to younger gamers. Not in a Wii way but sometimes in quite a niche way with the likes of Disneyland Adventures. They managed to do enough right to broadly appeal while gaining grudging respect I'd imagine from even Nintendo gamers for having Rare and a decent range of family friendly games amongst the shooters.
Still, Sony sorted things out by redesigning the PS3 from the original tombstone-like abberation and from Naughty Dog and Motorstorm Apocalypse providing me with many hours of gaming pleasure. Becuase they look so fine, it only takes a few games these days to be really worth it as long as you don't mind multiformat games possibly looking better on the Xbox360 sometimes. How easy the PS4 will be to code will be on people's minds.

Blind fanboysm or a mater of taste?

Don't buy from lazy developers then.

black ops2?....

Played Need for Speed: Most Wanted on my PS3 last night. Was NOT disappointed.

SONY as a whole this gen with all products has disappointed, they got to cocky didn't realize Xbox and Samsung were coming on so strong

I think its easy to look at Japan and see what SONY was and what they are now, tells most of the story.

My fav system of all time is still PS1, I would like to see SONY turn back to their roots

cliffy B queefing on my face is like playing shaqfu all over again

I refused to click the link and give the site hits because after reading the title then how last month his Xbox died and it's an Anti PS3 article just told me troll article. Why buy a PS3 and not another 360 then? Was that his 4th 360 that failed? Again, won't read it for the answers

He is looking to be a "legitimate industry analyst".

to all the dumb fucks who always combat ps plus with the whole "but it's not free unless you paid", um what the fuck do you think netflix is? if you stop paying your subscription, then your movies are gone. I dont see you complaining about netflix. SAME CONCEPT, MOVE ON.

If I had to choose, I'd take slightly choppy frame rates over complete hardware failure.

"It only does disappointment"

... and so does this article.

multiplatform games not performing as well isn't the hardware's fault, it's the devs.

This article gives me cancer.

Only does Stupidity

xbox fails so blame PS3. Why dont you blame religion? Or your mom?

PS3 and 360 owners need to stop making it known that they're assholes toward each other.

Why do people get so intensely defensive over articles like this? Why do people care about things they don`t believe in?

When anyone mention a multiplate game that is sub standard on PS3 they always say either COD or Skyrim. Unsurprising really considering COD dev don't like the PS3 and these are the only games to date that look inferior on the ps3. The ps3 is beginning to have a growing library of games that are better on it then 360. Namely Assassins creed 3, Farcry 3 and BF3.

Obama's America everybody.

Wasn't this posted a couple of days back, im tired of all these PS3 hate articles, their just not needed.
