For those that have already heard the news, older gamers prefer PS3, young gamers like the Wii and those in between prefer the 360.

What you may not know is that there is very little difference between PS3 and 360 gamers. This article explores the findings more deeply to look into the hearts of gamers everywhere and ask "are we really that different?"

Yeah...we're not different. We actually have one big similarity.

We both have patience.

Xbox owners have wait for their consoles to come back from the repair shops.

Ps3 owners, have to wait for their delayed...everything.

Edit: Xbox owners also have to wait for GTA dlc, Alan Wake. We also had to wait for HDMI, and semi-reliable consoles.

I was trying to make a joke, not to poke fun at a single one.

Condoleezza Rice6596d ago

Exactly,Sony need to really get on the ball with Alan Wake and that GTA DLC.

pharmd6596d ago (Edited 6596d ago )

good point breakfast in bed.... we're all here on the same damn site arent we talkin bout the same damn stuff.... we're like twins =D

LaChance6596d ago

are similar...but the fanboys arnt.Thats for sure lol.

Midnight Snack6596d ago

no...we're different. We actually have one small difference.

They both have no patience.

Xbox owners whine about haveing to wait for the firemen to come after there console exploded.

Ps3 owners, have to wait for their console to explode..

Edit: Xbox owners also have to wait for scratched discs and a new console. They also had to wait for HDMI, and reliable consoles.

I was trying to make a joke, not to poke fun at anyone.

Bladestar6596d ago

@Condoleezza Rice - true.... and MIcrosoft needs to stop announcing games that are 4 years from release just to sell consoles... Microsoft should just release damn Kill Zone 2 before this console lifecycle ends...

at leasy sony announce Alan wake and GTA DLC practically yesterday in comparison to microsoft announcing Kill Zone 2... Damn microsoft! how about Home!?

Condoleezza Rice6596d ago

Though I must admit,with Splinter Cell and Halo Wars right next to my Console,I personally have nothing to worry about.

Mwhahahaha

Bubbles for all you bastards

You forgot about MSFT needing to lower the price.

Also forgot about Sony and its online promises and the top notch games that are suppose to blow us away.

@1.5

360 fans wait for reliable consoles
PS3 fans wait for more capable consoles and hardware that makes it better for all console consumers thus making better games for all without worrying about the lowest common denominator

@1.4

I also agree that the general gamers may be the same but loyal 360 fans and loyal PS3 fans are very different.
360 fans seem to be more layed back and civil when it comes to how they see the brand they support seeing it as a great consumer product deffending it from attack and lie.

PS3 fans are more aggressive being on the offence and walking all over whoever threatends the glory of PlayStation life; seen as a cultural lifestyle more than a consumer product(360 fans generally do not exercise towards Sony vs most all people that support Sony hate MSFT by default creating a sports like attatude in gaming)

LOL this started out as a fun loving post then about halfway through it started to get dirty. I guess we'll never all get along despite our similarities and shared passions for good games.

does this count as rick rolling?

boodybandit6596d ago

the PS3 and 360 so they are no different (gamers). I just got done gaming on both consoles tonight. We were trying to decide which version of Battlefield to pick up tomorrow.

ash_divine6596d ago

I never actually thought we were that different.

littletad6596d ago

The first couple of comments are all... neutral. It's almost scary.

ash_divine6596d ago

I try. There are enough fanboys here as it is.

DarkSniper6596d ago

PS3 and 360 games are noticeably different. When you view a PLAYSTATION®3 game, you are getting true high definition visuals added with the piece of mind of a stable console that will not defect. Xbox 360 only upscales the content on DVD-9 which is why most multiplatform games on 360 usually have washed out textures, frame rate hiccups and jaggies.

On a behavioral standpoint. PLAYSTATION®3 owners tend to be more mature and humble about their affiliation with the victorious console. Whenever you hear the opening music when first booting up your PLAYSTATION®3, you know for sure you will be enticed into gaming bliss. When playing the critically acclaimed titles or simply navigating through the easy to use Xross Media Bar, you get the sense of what next generation feels like. The PlayStation Community grows better by each day as each member shows great hospitality for one another

Microslaves are extremely sensitive to comments and find themselves responding in irrational manners. Similar to what you would hear on Xbox Live. Using N4G.com as an example, Microslaves will take personal offense when Dark Sniper preaches the true gospel of the state of the industry and presents nothing but facts.

Xbox Live is considered to be the pig sty of gaming. A wasteland where all racist children gather to display immature hatred towards one another and uses force by numbers to scare away any new members. If purgatory exists, then it's right here on Xbox Live.

This is living. Only PLAYSTATION®3 and it's friendly community gives you the feeling like you're in a second home.

This proves why we are not the same. One group has a severe inferiority complex and like a dude with a little pee pee has to walk around bragging about how big it is in order to make himself feel better. PS3 fishheads are mentally ill like the above post proves so nicely.

"Microslaves will take personal offense when Dark Sniper preaches the true gospel of the state of the industry and presents nothing but facts."

The talk of the mentally ill.

(PS: I know DarkSniper makes these posts as jokes. A different person in the forums that is for sure)

pharmd6596d ago

snipers back to posting his good old posts!!!!

JasonPC360PS3Wii6596d ago

I know he is just joking, I just can't help but to give him sh!t.

Veryangryxbot6595d ago

NO SHIAT?

360 = Poor mans (read: dumb mans) hardcore PS3.

Thats why PS3 will win. Its the luxurious version and does everything better.

When Sony said PS3 will cost 600 bucks, all the retards pretty much flipped and jumped to MS shouting "DOWN WITH SONY" and creating hundreds of rumor threads where they HOPED their favorite games would follow them to the 360.

It didnt happen, everything Sony said would happen, happened. Now the bots are bitter. Angry and bitter. ANGRY BOTS.

Instead of behaving stupid and prematurely like always, they should have looked at why Sony's console costs so much. Because youre getting value for your good, morons.

LOL I didnt know that younger games are 18-24 years old. Which is where the data provided by the actual research stop according to the charts shown in the original story.18-65 was the total age group they tracked. Now I personally dont consider anyone under the age of 24 an adult but surely we can find something other than "younger gamers" to call them

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle77d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7777d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg83d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree83d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai83d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde84d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy84d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12584d ago (Edited 84d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
