Xbox 360 or Ps3?

[Kisame Aburame]

Alright, First of all - I believe this is the right spot to be posting this....I'm not sure, if i'm wrong - i apologize.

Anyhow, The subject pretty much states what this thread is about. Vote, and post why.

My Vote :

My vote is xbox 360. Why? Well i believe the xbox has a better game selection. Yeah, i said it. That isn't the only reason though...Microsoft has a lot more stable and protected online systems. You hear about PS3 getting hacked all the time...Xbox 360? No. I also like the xbox's controller because the PS3 controller is tiny. >.> I obviously have a xbox, and i've played PS3 a lot - most of my family that game have them. So, as i said - i like the xbox better. Sorry PS3 fanboys. :3

I have a 360 however the PS3 is hands down the better system. Xbox has a lot of OS issues, especially when it was first put out. It's also far more likely to break. The Xbox easily destroys any given games.

PS3 is backwards compatible to the other PS games, though XBox only is with certain games. PS3 also has the blu-ray capabilities and a much cleaner OS. I like the controller for 360 which is surprising because I have such tiny hands. Military uses 360 controllers for stuff because the design is better. PS3 has an equally nice game selection though and they have Uncharted. To be honest most games now come out for both systems except for a few.

I speak this not just out of my own preference though. I worked for Blockbuster and Gamestop over the years and I would much rather work with PS3 merchandise than 360. 360 overall has far more problems and the anti-scratch coating on the PS3 games is possibly the best thing ever

I love the Xbox because the console looks better, the interface looks better, the controller has cooler buttons (Letters > Shapes), the controller is more visually appealing, the controller is a good shape, and Xbox has Halo.

Oh lol other than that though it sucks absolutely dick. It breaks, you have to pay for online, etc. I just like it better.

However if the rumours are true and XBL is going to be like four times more costly for the 720 I'm buying a PS4. Or better yet a PC that's actually good. Really that's the answer.

[Cacophony]

I'd Have to vote for Xbox360 soley because of my tank lol. I have had this thing for 4 years now i think and its had problems but all of which i personally fixed by removing and swapping with others. I had bought 2 used, non warrenties and when i swapped all the parts around both xboxs work perfectly fine. Although dropping one with a game in and so on will fuck up a disk mine and the other one ( which i sold to a good friend of mine) had only done that 2 times in total(1 on each individual console) , once to mw2 and once to my naruto generations which both luckily had the 3 dollar disk scrath warranty offered by gamestop. Also the same friend who had bought my xbox also had a ps3 and it encountered one malfunction and he had it sent in and had to have it replaced, which then unluckily for him his dog pissed on it and he could do nothing about it.

Xbox is more of a community but most of which is populated by 6 year olds and other teenagers. Playing games online is another story i have played alot of Storm generations for xbox 360 to tell you it is filled with spammers. I can't go 2 matches with out getting spammed by sage naruto, pts lee or the tsuchikage and by most videos online ive seen of ps3 that seems to differ greatly. The price is outrageous but since im not the one who pays for it id honestly rather have the xbox.

lol sorry for the long explination but in my case i've been extremely lucky and without the circumastance i have at hand i would probably be playing ps3 right now.

Woah woah woah, ITT people who have no idea what they're talking about.

Xbox has better games?

Is this nigga serious?

PS3 has GoW, the Drake Series, the Killzone Series, to a lesser extent, the Resistance series, Ratchet and Clank, Little Big Planet, Gran Turismo 5, MAG.

Xbox is just riding on Halos coat tails. PS3 is a superior machine, with better all around everything.

[Mist]

I have neither of these systems as a nintendite. But I choose xbox because i see more fun there, i like micro soft and its cheaper from what i know than playstation. Also more friends of mine have an xbox than playstation so since I don have either consoles I can usually play xbox.

[rheo]

I'm going to keep my explanation short and sweet. The Xbox has a more appealing controller all around, yes, but other than that I honestly don't see how it is better than the Playstation 3. I have multiple friends that just give up on the Xbox because it either broke down after three months of play or they got sick of paying the extravagant amount of money for online play. Yes, they do have Halo but that is all they have going for them. Playstation 3 has free online play for now, maybe not in the future because of the lucrative amount of money they could earn should they charge for it, and a lot of game titles that are exclusive for the PS3. I'm sure Xbox does too, but I'm also sure they're B rated games that never got commercials on t.v and have ended up on the half price rack at any given Game Stop or other second hand game store. Plus, PS3 is less likely to break on its own and it last way longer without needing replaced. In fact, I still have my original 80 gig PS3 from when they first came out a few years back. I had an Xbox 360, but it broke after two months of play.

Thanks for all your replies, I'm very happy with the results. ^.^ I understand all of your arguments and have enjoyed reading them. Keep the feedback coming.

First of all, I don't mind but some people might be offended if you use the term 'Nigga'. Alright, anyhow - The only games that really were hits that you are talking about is the God of War series, Uncharted series, and possibly little big planet. Forza Motorsport is better than Gran Turismo will ever be. MAG was pretty much dead after a while. It may have seemed real cool and all at first, but really it was just a failure. Look at it now, Noeone plays it. Ratchet and Clank is okay, but it isn't that big of a hit. Killzone 3 wasn't that good - and killzone 1 and 2 were made for earlier playstation consoles, and don't have the same experience on the ps3. The only game in the resistance series that is really good, is the brand new one. The last thing is, Halo is not the only reason people like the xbox. Oh - One more thing. If you don't have anything good to say, don't say it. I like a good discussion with criticism on others, so they can get a good opinion - but that was a bit harsh.

[Beautiful Rogue]

Chill your britches, I'm sure you'll get over any offence you find in what I say, but for the rest of us, I still haven't seen a good argument against the 'ps3 haz no gaems'. You can pull those games down, but all of them have better sales than pretty much anything Xbox has to offer except Halo, I like Halo, but it's not enough reason for me to care about Xbox. I don't play console games anyway, I'm well above that, I have a perfectly good gaming computer that can provide me with more games, and better gameplay than anything Xbox or PS3 has to offer. And I use windows, a Microsoft product.

If you still don't believe PS3 is a superior machine, how about we look to the military is using them as a cheaper, more effective storage system for their information. No one is going out and buying Xbox's for such important work.

As for the controllers, I have no preference, while I like the PS3 controllers more, I can only use an Xbox controller with my computer, so I have no choice. Xbox is not a horrible system, it's just inferior to PS3, which, if we go by sales, is inferior to the Wii.

[Zeth Zatachi]

I voted PS3... I have both a PS3 and a Xbox and I must say that I don't pay for Live (Used to until I got my PS3 Just for that reason).

You see the same 15 dollars you spend just to play online, I buy a add-on for whatever game I'm playing at the time. Same money spent as xbox players, more benefits. Of course you guys pay year round, so it makes sense that you get all the expansions for popular games before the PS3 but big fucking whoopdie do! It's like a week or so ahead? I have no problem waiting lol at least I'm not spending monthly.

Also it is PROVEN that PS3 has higher graphics. It's just a fact. IN FACT it was said the original reason for the next gen of Xbox is just to catch up with the PS3. Not even sure if Sony is concerned for making yet another better system, anyone know for sure? I'd love to know ^_^

Lastly, the games. PS3 exclusives > Halo. Period.

[Kisame Aburame]

I'm going to say this once more, and be a bit more in-depth. Halo is not the only xbox exclusive that gives the xbox more buyers/players. Heres a short list of some games that are/were big hits. This doesn't include the BIG hits of kinect games. Not including Halo either.

• Dead Rising Series
  
• Saints Row Series
  
• Forza Motorsport Series
  
• Alan Wake Series
  
• Naruto: The Broken Bond
  
• Naruto: Rise of A Ninja
  
• Gears of War Series
  
• Fable Series
  
• Crackdown Series

• Forza Motorsport Series - Lower sales than GT series, inferior.
  
• Alan Wake Series - Actually quite fun, but not an overly popular game
  
• Naruto: The Broken Bond - Lower sales than Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm
  
• Naruto: Rise of A Ninja - Lower sales than Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm
  
• Gears of War Series - Decent
  
• Fable Series - Fable one is the only one worth playing, not on Xbox 360
  
• Crackdown Series - Never even heard of it
  

Out of your entire list, three things are worth playing, and none of them are worth buying an Xbox over, considering you can get all of those decent games on computer, and, if you have a decent computer, not only will they run faster and have better graphics, the online play will be free.

And the reason you didn't name any kinect games, is becauce the kinect did so poorly in the market, their biggest hits don't even hold a candle to pretty much any mainline game.

Next.

These are just the games that I own that are exclusives. Yes, I do realize that they're in alphabetical order but I have OCD and all of my games must be sorted accordingly. From what I know, most of these were or still are fairly popular games. Oh, and Assassin's Creed 3 will have Playstation 3 exclusive content as well.

The reason I posted that extensive list is because this seems to have gone from a debate on which system is better to a debate of what games each system has exclusively for themselves respectively. I'm sure that there are more for each, but the PS3 does have better graphical quality and it also does have free online play. And Zeth, I do believe that the PS4 is slated to be released in late 2013 or 2014. Right around Christmas time most likely, as that is the most logical time to release it for the most profit. And yes, by numbers the Wii has sold more but it also has terrible graphics compared to both the 360 and the PS3. Also, the control schemes for many of their games is difficult to grasp (Super Smash Bros Brawl) and I ended up using a Gamecube controller for what games I could use it for. That was before I got rid of my Wii for a PS3 lol.

Uchiha Rogue - Naruto ultimate ninja storm series are not exclusive to the PS3, therefore those points made no sense. Fable 2 + Fable 3 have decent sales, way better than the sales for fable 1 obviously. About the crackdown series, that is not my fault - it's kind of oblivious that you wouldn't - seeing as how you (Own a ps3 im guessing) are a ps3 fan. I was unaware that the saints row 1 and 2 was not an xbox exclusive. Dead rising 1 is better than dead rising 2, and dead rising 2 was the only dead rising game on the ps3. If you've ever played forza motorsport 4, you would realize it's better than Gran Turismo games - Also there was only ONE Gran Turismo game that was for the ps3....


P.S. The poll (According to the results) is at a tie atm, Anyone want to tell their friends/someone they know to break the tie? xD

Just because NUNS is not exclusive, doesn't mean my point is invalid,the only reason they release games in other markets is because the previous ones did so poorly and didn't make enough money. If the Xbox was good enough to sell exclusive games on, those games would be exclusive too.

Fable 2+3 are fine, but I can also get them for my computer instead of wasting money on an Xbox that has inferior quality and speed.

Crackdown is not a high enough seller to have caught the attention of anyone other than a small amount of gamers who clearly have poor console choice.

Dead Rising argument is laughable, you know why they released it on PS3 for the second one? Because the sales for Xbox were too low, because it is an inferior machine.

As for Forza, it doesn't matter which game you think is better, GT 5 sold far more. I don't even like racing games, they bore the shit out of me, but I trust the numbers.

The only argument you have left is Gears of War, and people who are intelligent would buy any of these Xbox games on PC.

Xbox cannot hold a candle to PS3, not in games, not in graphical quality, not even in online play, the difference in online experience is so minor that PS3 is better just because you don't have to pay. On top of this, PS3 has less chance of breaking, Sony is a better company for repairs [In my experience], and Blueray is the way of the future, meaning the PS3 is not only capable of playing better games, but it can be used as a home entertainment system.

My final point is this. For years, Square has been an excellent provider of amazing games, the Final Fantasy series was excellent. Then XIII happened, and everything went down the drain. You know what's so remarkable about this? The first, truly terrible Final Fantasy game, was released as an non-exclusive game. As soon as Xbox got a hold of it, the PS3 version suffered the graphical deterioration, because the inferior machine could not handle some of the things they had planned if it was to be a PS3 only game.

"anyone other than a small amount of gamers who clearly have poor console choice."


Your telling me 40 MILLION PEOPLE is a small amount of gamers? Dude, get your facts straight..

[Beautiful Rogue]

The game sold 1.5 million games worldwide, that barely even scratches the surface of the gamer kingdom. You get your facts straight. Stop being so butthurt, this is a debate, I'm just presenting the facts.

Edit: By which I mean, poorly paraphrasing to try and get your point across, which also did not work, because out of all the next gen consoles, Xbox sold the least. So your point of 'fohty millyun gaymaz' is really a moot point.

[Nyu]

Well, I will put my sole input in now. I have a X-Box 360. I love it, but I love it solely for one reason. I took mine to Iraq and it still works, no parts needed, no overheating, nothing. PS3 broke down, so I just never traded it in or anything. That is my reason for the X-Box, besides the fact I hate the light-weight controllers of the PS3. That would have to be my biggest disconnect.

[Riku Tadami (Sage)]

Xbox is better with Fifa so it is better period.

It's funny how despite all the arguments every time I enter this thread the Xbox is winning/it's a tie.
