PS3 or 360... which is REALLY Better?

With this blog post I'm going to attempt to answer.... SUCKERS!!!
Now that I have your attention....

I own a PS3. I like my PS3. I have never played an Xbox 360. So, to be honest, I don't know what I'm missing. Therefore, I'm not missing anything. I'm fine with my PS3. Does that make me a "Fanboy?" I don't think so.
From the Urban Dictionary:

"An arrogant person who goes into an outburst every time something he likes is questioned. Fanboys usually accuse others of being fanboys. Usually use 1337 and swarm MMORPGs. Fanboys caused a lot of fallout between people when they started arguing about consoles. If you insult something that a fanboy likes, he will spam your computer up and try to insult something that you like. Most words a fanboy uses are in 1337 or end with 'X0RZ' and they spell the word 'the' as 'teh' because they think that it is 'teh ro><0|2Z!!!'"

Ok... now that I'm done proofreading that Godawful definition, I think I can safely say that I'm not a fit. However, I think EVERYONE knows someone who is.
PS3 fanboys like to go on about the power of the PS3's processor, the Blu-Ray, the 250,000 exclusives coming out in 2011, and they try and find some numbers somewhere that PROVE that it's selling faster than the 360. 360 fanboys like to bring up the popularity of their system, the sales numbers, the attach rate, and of course, "CoD is better on the 360."

I have one question for all the fanboys....

SO F'ING WHAT???

The PS3 has Uncharted, Infamous, Little Big Planet, Heavy Rain, Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo 5, Demon's Souls, Haze, Killzone 2 and 3, Resistance, MAG, Warhawk, Yakuza 3 and 4, and Echochrome.

The 360 has Halo, Gears of War, Forza Motorsport, Alan Wake, Crackdown, F.E.A.R, Fable, and Ace Combat 6.

BOTH systems have, Assassin's Creed 1, 2, and Brotherhood, GTA4, Final Fantasy XIII, Red Dead Redemption, Just Cause 2, Prototype, Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and just about anything put out by Electronic Arts.

So which one is better? Does it matter? All that REALLY matters is which one do YOU prefer? You want to play Little big Planet? You need a PS3. Want to play HALO 3? Gotta get a 360. Want to play Assassin's Creed 2? Then FLIP A FRAPPIN COIN! Or get both. Your gaming choices don't affect me. My gaming choices don't affect you. If I want to play Metal Gear Solid 4... will that interfere with your CoD experience? If I want to play Heavy Rain, or Gran Turismo 6 1/2, or CoD 31, or Hannah F'n Montana, how is that going to affect your library?

Your opinion is your opinion, my opinion is my opinion. How is this difficult? Both systems have something for everyone. So go fire one up and play.... and have fun.

That's just my opinion, though. I could be wrong.

Rant over. Back to Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

If I only had a PS3 I would be just as happy as I am now. Same goes for 360 only. Both have more great games than I could ever have the time to finish.

I almost wish I only had one console. I might have less great games that I have yet to play.

QuodEratDemonstrandm5572d ago

Would it help if I suggested the possibility of starting the PS3 exclusive BEFORE you finish the 360 exclusive?

Or maybe I could just point out that you completely missed the central thesis of my blog, while implicitly agreeing with it, "Both systems have something for everyone. So go fire one up and play.... and have fun."

The "console wars" are an unnecessary and pointless distraction from the real reason we have game systems in the first place: playing games.
I bought a PS3 so I could play MGS4, NOT so I could make fun of the 360. I'm guessing you bought your PS3 for a similar reason: there was a game on that system that you wanted to play. Same with the 360: there was a game on that system that you wanted to play. Or maybe there were several games on each system you wanted. I don't know, and care even less. You have both systems, so you don't have to miss out on any games.
All I can say for myself is that there aren't any games I want to play badly enough to run out and get a 360.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit2d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing2d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster922d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
