The Next Battle in the Console War

MassiveDamage writes: One of the greatest benefits of being a consumer in today's economy is that each company is vying for your dollars more aggressively than ever before. Not only do they need our money to survive, but they know we are very picky about the dollars that we spend...

I guess at the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference (if you have to choose 1 of the 2 that is). Gotta love competition though. No competition = no innovation/invention and higher prices.

Pretty much the only thing I remember from Economics :P

I have seen so much hatred towards the 360 from some of the more rabbid ps3 fans. While I have also seen it go the other way I have noticed a slight trend lately. Some of the more vocal 360 fans have stated their interest in getting the ps3 when it became cheaper and now it seems likely they will be doing so.

Not that it will change anything mind you but you have to respect them for at least being the bigger gamer to put aside the difference and pick up the console they once so opposed. I myself was like that until last year when I got the ps3. It is a great system but not perfect as others make it out to be. Neither is the 360 and I was never one to say it was. No console is without its faults but the biggest fault is the gamers who are so one sided to not even acknowledge and respect the choices made by others to further the same cause we all are part of.

It is one thing to be a loyalist to the cause but keep in mind it is the same cause the so called opposition is in favor of too. Great games and having fun playing them! I have a good friend who he himself is starting to realize the error of being such a one sided sony fan. He has been spending more time on his cousins 360 latley that his ideas towards it are changing. He can see there is good to being a gamer from a general sense instead of being restricted to just one console/company.

I wouldnt be surprised if more 360 gamers bought the cheaper ps3 and became more neutral in this so called war. Maybe voicing an opinion or two in regards to the multiplatform games but most enjoying what each system has to offer. I also believe there are some ps3 gamers out there who are interested in the 360 and have been putting it off for similar reasons (price, games, potential backlash from other ps3 extremists). There should be no reason to fight and bicker like little children over the same cause both are speaking so loudly about.

In conclusion I feel that those who are getting the ps3 and have a 360 will not be disappointed in what it has to offer. The same holds true for those ps3 only players that have an interest in the 360. There is great potential in both systems (maybe the wii too for kicks and giggles) and if you put aside the differences long enough you will see that I am right.

Sony will dominate. There is no question about it.

raztad6122d ago

I love the pic. LOL

See who is in the winner side :D

ChozenWoan6122d ago

Yea, it's kind of a subliminal suggestion but someone had to be the bad guys.

I've noticed since both consoles dropped in price that the flames of the console war has been flickering in the wind. Soon it will be as it should, Gamers banding together to discuss how X game was good, but could be improved for all gamers.

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.

solideagle33d 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

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

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

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.

Soy40d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

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

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga41d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199241d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga41d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman40d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box41d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion40d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7241d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7541d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit41d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14941d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7741d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
