Just to clarify, he listed GRAW2 and RSV as a X360 exclusive. That should have been part of the multiplatform list. But he says Metal Gear Solid is overrated? That's the phrase of the century. Even a man up to the magnitude of Stan Lee respects Kojima and the Metal Gear Series. And then why do X360 fanboys so dearly want Metal Gear Solid 4 so bad? The point he's missing is the fact that exclusive games are the real console movers. Yes they are both getting great multiplatform titles, but exclusives is what makes you buy one system over the other. Then there are folks like me who will enjoy both consoles exclusives plus the multiplat games, but everybody else is not as fortunate to have both.

Very good article and very true.

But will it stop the idiotic and retarded "fanboys" from spewing crap from their mouths.....unfortunately not. You'd think they had stocks and shares in their consoles companies.

probably by this evening...hopefully not...

bc almost all multiplatform games run better on the 360. Whether it be better aliasing and/or framerate. The latest multiplatform games that prove this are Madden, NCAA, NHL '08, All- PRO 2K8. and Virtua Fighter 5.

Not to mention that a lot of multiplatform games are released a significant time later on PS3. The latest one being GRAW 2.

Deny it all you want and call me an xbot. I am only stating the facts.

It really says what Ive been saying all along that so far this gen if you look at what we have had and what we are going to get in the future we really are getting a outstanding gaming experience. The whole console war thing sometimes almost blinds people to what is being offerd to us as gamers. I think some people still see the 360 as a shooter but it has alot of non shooter great ganes coming and all ready out for it. While the ps3 some people say is more a blue ray player than a game machine come christmas time they will have some real sweet games. Good gaming everyone

should be TheMART's bed reading

I have all 3 and enjoy each system for thir own reasons. However, for anyone to say a game is over-rated - it's just there opinion which, is all good and true to some extent. Most of the time all of us as gamers scream and talk trash to each other over the most stupid things. For example, "there are two more trees in the background of the 360 version so, therefore it's better"! It's good to hear stuff like this coming from a true gamer and not some 14 year old fanboy;)

and to be honest. I cannot complain one bit about the library of games available for the 360. I simply do not want to list the games. But I am extremely satisfied that microsoft has filled in the gaps for all Genres. Sports, RPG, Action/Adv, Family, FPS.

With the whole fanboy-ism.... it is fun and it is old.
The PS3 does have it fans and it does have it's pros.

But in the end... it's all about games.
a system is only as good as it's games.

Well... Actually it does matter. Yeah idontcare it does...

When the 360 keeps on top like this in hardwaresales compared to the PS3, the largest proven IP's like MGS4 and FFXIII will come over. Just because these 3rd party companies have shareholders and shareholders want to maximize profits.

Kojiama may say he's developing exclusive for PS3, Konami is the one to decide. So the 360 is able to get the largests/most important IP's of Sony. The new unproven 1st party Sony IP's first have to prove themselves.

XBOX 360/MS largest franchises are SECURED. Do you understand that?

Halo, PGR, Gears of War, you name them SECURED

Even 3rd party games they will pay for to keep exclusive or buy them up. Why haven't Dead Rising, Lost Planet and Bioshock been announced on the PS3?

Why did the Playstation lost so many former exclusives like DMC4, Virtua Fighter 5, Virtua Tennis 3, GTA IV, Ace Combat 6 (complete 360 exclusive now) and all those others while the PS3 only got a remake of a 3 year old XBOX 1 game? No other proven IP from the last gen have been brought out on the PS3

Mass Effect another AAA hitter this year. Splinter Cell: Conviction you'll see. The 360 has the advantage the PS2 had last gen. First out, largest installed base, most exclusives of 3rd party. Sony needs to build up 1st party IP's fast. Fast as hell. Like Motorstorm and others. But with great quality. Not the average Heavenly Sword and Lair 8 reviews. I may hope for you Uncharted becomes AAA otherwise the PS3 doesn't have one AAA game in 2007 to sell units this holiday!

Reliability. that is now erased, because of warranty and falcon.
And Disk use... If that were a factor, then BioShock wouldnt get perfect scores.

And i know for a fact. That Reliability issues will be resolved sooner than PS3 will get rumble.

...then just get a 360 since you save $250.

It's great to be a gamer this year. There are tons of games coming out this year for all the consoles n PC too.

M$ buying up 3rd parties is HORRIBLE for the industry.Nobody wants a monopoly on their video games.That's mob metality.And what were people playing before M$ entered the game.It's funny how something new comes out and people jump on 'whatever it is' sac,and then say it's the greatest!If it's so great what happened to the original Xbox,& all the supporters it had,where were all the people screaming no don't shut it down.They (M$) shut it down and everyone followed them to the "next big thing" regardless.Not even asking "Are they going to do the same thing to us again?"
RROD 4 LYFE!

I think he has it all wrong. Fanboism is stupid but it does matter. It matters because I like the exclusive games. It's important to pick the system that's going to have the exclusive games I like. Games like GTA and Madden don't mean crap to me because they are going to be on both systems, but if i want Gran Turismo or Final Fantasy then I need a PS3. If I want Halo or Gears then I need a 360. If I want Zelda then I need a Nintendo. The rest don't matter because they are on another system. Final Fantasy is by far my favorite franchise. GT and God of War have become staple games for me. Until these games cross over to MS or Nintendo I will always be with Sony. I may choose to buy another system but I will always have a Sony system. Other people feel that way about Halo and MS, which I totally understand.

maybe it doesnt matter for lots of people but it matters to me i choose ps3 over 360 because i like their exclusive more than 360. im perfectly happy with my ps3 because in 2008 they're going to have some of my favourite franchise MGS, Final Fantasy, and GT. but when i look at the 360 sometimes im jealous because they're going to have halo, gears of war, and mass effect franchise. its different for every person.

Then it really does'nt matter.If they keep doing this look at the long road.Sony and Nin are'nt really needed,are they.But everyone is excepting it"right now"WHY?

I have a ps3, to me their line-up has more variety from little big planet to killzone 2. And I like the fact knowing its great reliability and power. I had a 360 before and it didn't last(RROD).
rock on ps3

In simplest terms:

Enjoy the games you want on the system of your choice.

Everything else is fanboy rhetoric.
