Fuckin' Ps3...

[L-Booma]

Sony said they sold more, plus alot other sources aswell.

But yea microsoft said they sold more.

Uncharted is amazing, for me halo and gears of war are hell overated. But thats all opinion. Mass effect is on ps3 aswell. Plus alot so calles xbox exclusives are on pc aswell, so no xbox exclusive.

For me ps3 is so much better.

Ps3>>>>>>>>Xbox

Sony owned miscosoft hard, paying hundreds of millions to get Black op mappack 3 weeks earlier lol. That shows how desperate microsoft is. Microsoft sold alot more in the begining of the consoles. The sales of the xbox are low as hell atm. but ps3 is selling so much more now and at the end sony sold more then microsoft.

For me the ps3 have alot better exclusives plus the xbox controller is so horrible.

Im no fanboy, I have both consoles here, but really dont like the xbox, dunno why.

Sony hasn't owned Microsoft on anything yet this generation.

1) Microsoft still has more total consoles sold worldwide with about a 2 million console lead as of July 9th. ROughly 54Million 360's to 52 million ps3's.
2) Microsoft has purchased exclusive content since day 1, it's not desperation, it's a strategy. The majority of people that purchase DLC purchase it within the first few weeks, Microsoft is ensuring they have the only viable way to play during that time. They didn't pay millions upon millions for the Black Op's maps either. Plus, it's a known fact that the 360 is the preferred choice for shooters (whether that's good or bad is a matter of opinion), so whatever money they spent they likely re-couped during those first 3 weeks.
3) Xbox sales aren't low as hell at the moment... in fact, they are pretty much dead even with ps3 sales.

As for exclusives... it's a toss up really. The edge goes to PS3, though not by much. Uncharted is the most overated franchise of all time. Little Big Planet while creative, has no story so it can't hold the interest of those of us that appreciate good stories. GT5 when it comes down to it isn't much different/better then the Forza series. The Metal Gear Solid Series (which is the sole reason I knew I was going to buy a ps3 before it was even released) sadly doesn't have the fan base it used to. Etc. Etc. I'm not even going to try to argue the merits of the first party 360 games, you either like them or you don't... Halo, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Forza, not nearly as impressive as the ps3 games, but traditionally outsell everything the ps3 has to offer, so that says something.

I too own both consoles (2 of each in fact), however as I stated years ago on other forums, it's not a fair comparison to compare the ps3 and the 360 as they really are 2 different beasts. The 360 hands down is the ONLY games console worth owning this generation. The online experience, the quality of the games, the polish on the whole experience has pushed gaming to a new level. Just look at the innovations by Nintendo and Microsoft this generation. Now look at sony.... Sony has played catchup the entire time.

-Cross party Chat
-Motion sensing
-Avatars
-Rumble in controllers (LoL!)
-The ability to download items in the background so your not stuck looking at a loading bar
-etc.

Meanwhile Sony's innovation... and it's a big one.

-Blu Ray

Problem is... Blu Ray wasn't intended to be a games medium. In fact, Games are still just scratching the surface of what Blu Ray is capable of. The PS3 is, was, and will always be the medium used to push Sony's agenda to make Blu Ray the standard optical disk format. Sony won this war, and as a result now collects royalties from everyone that presses media to Blu Ray. I'd wager as many as 15 million ps3 console owners own 1 or less games because they use the ps3 as a blu ray player. Look at attachment rates.. Xbox 360 has the average user owning the console plus at minimum 8 games. The ps3 has closer to 4 while the Wii is even lower. That says that gamers are using the 360, where as movie viewers are using the ps3. There's nothing wrong with it, but ps3 fanboys need to just accept the fact that Sony built an AMAZING Media center, and just a so-so video game machine.

I own 300 plus blu rays thanks to my ps3's. However only 10 games. If I want to listen to music on my media server, watch download tv episodes, use netflix, watch a blu ray disk.... I'll use my PS3.

If I want to lose myself in some classic Gaming moments... give me the 360.

...and for what it's worth, the playstation controller is abysmal. There are far more complaints about it then there are favorable opinions. It's outdated, too small, has mushy triggers that are placed in a terrible location, is awkward while playing shooters (or pretty much anything outside of rpg's or driving sims) and overall just doesn't feel up to par with Microsofts option. There's a reason the 360 controller won awards when it came out in 2005/2006 and the ps3 controller isn't mentioned.

only my first PS1 (the first model) had a laser problem ..the second copy I bought works even today.
never had a problem with the first PS2 model and the slim version.
my PS3 has no problems at the moment

[GreenL420]

not the case for me either as i turn my console off when ever its not used never leave a game in the tray and shut it down when it starts to get overly hot i just have bad luck that's my problem lol

I've had mine for more than 3 years, no breakdowns, none of that, crashes a little frequently, but at least it's outlasted any Xbox console I've ever had in my house hold.

Either you left yours on 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and it wore the system out, or you have one of those shitty updated models, the original PS3's have more power and hardware in them

Like the old saying goes, "treat it like a piece of shit, it'll end up like a piece of shit"

Funny... I have one of the Original Backward Compatible 80g models. Had it since 2007. As for treating it like shit, re-read my post. I Dust bi-Weekly and am a collector. Meaning I have everything in pretty much perfect condition. Check the photos of my setup in the "post photos of your game room" thread.

I'm not really annoyed at the fact the machine broke down, I'm more annoyed that I paid $500 for it in 2007, and now sony wants me to pay $140 again. For what it's worth, the original backward compatible models are more susceptible to failure then the newer models because of increased power consumption, less ventilation and hotter running chips. I haven't used my ps3 like I used my 360, but it's seen alot of use all the same. Again I own nearly 300 Blu Ray movies and the PS# was my only player. Add in the game time, plus all the time I used it as a media center (Which is ALOT!) And it more then got it's use.

Finally, I've now owned my Xbox 360 S for over a year, and it's froze exactly 3 times. It's safe to say that the New xbox's no longer suffer from the problems of the early models. But, to update my situation.. I filed a service notice with Sony last night, they contacted me this morning and are sending me a box for repair. They claim the box will arrive in 3-5 business days. Repair takes 7-10 business days on top of that. So hopefully things go quick. I'll keep this thread updated with any change in status.

i dont need anything more
waiting for f1 2011 and uncharted 3, i know its on both consoles and its good.

[skitzo]

My little nephew has been playing his PS3 for years all day every day and it still works good. The only thing it does is freeze on a rare occation while playing a game. That's probably because the machine is getting hot from being used all day. I'm a PC gamer for life!!

[soldier4death]

That's some hard luck. I've never had all problems with any of my sony systems. I have a couple of games but use it solely for Blue Ray purposes. I've heard many bad reviews on 360 too. So I think it's just a sign of the low quality of construction that takes place now.

[Uel]

ive been rocking my fat ps3 since day 1. no problems what so ever with mine

[GreenL420]

i hate sony as well i certainly prefer the xbox360 over ps3 anyday although i have a ps3 which is my 2nd one as sony wouldn't fix mine either and just my luck i was only one day over the warranty date and they still wouldn't help me

[HAL 9000]

i just bought a ps3 a couple weeks ago... dont scare me!!!

[hobomotel]

I was thinking of getting a Playstation 3 seeing as there is a price drop on the horizon. Want to get a blu ray player plus I hate the price of Xbox Live nowadays.

[JackV]

I dont play ps3 alot and thats maybe why I had it for 4 years (ever since release) and never fucked up once, just some freezes thats come rarely. I think they fuck up after long hours of use.
