When this gen is over the X360 will easily be seen as a top 10 console in history. Easily. This gen is awesome.
PS3 has that chance too, but the X360 is stronger as of now. |
I agree that there is time, but as of right now I cannot see either of them being top 10 material. Right now there are only two games on the horizon that can compare and they are both on the PS3. The Last Guardian and God of War 3.
However, Forza 3(I dont know enough about it) looks like it could easily be at least a rivla to GT5. and Alan Wake can most certainly get into that "instant classic" status. However the current lineup of games for both consoles is not even nearly good enough. The lineup rivals second rate consoles at best. I mean, Gears of war, Halo, Resistance, Killzone, LAIR, Haze, Splinter Cell, Tom Clancy shit? Not a chance at being considered a best system of all time.
Alan Wake, The Last Guardian, Heavy Rain, God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5 and Forza 3 will be the games that decide the fate of these consoles. If they deliver, there's something truely wonderful to come for this gen (with them as the start.) but as of now its just rehashed shooter bullshit and space marines.

But consoles can take some credit for multiplatforms too when comparing and ranking them historically. I dunno how much, but something.
And u forgot to mention XBL and Natal.

I don't consider XBL to be anything special, Natal to me just seems like a more advanced Eyetoy, I do not see either of them being anything important. PC has had better online services than XBL for 20 years, and I don't need to pay for it twice. To me, XBL is nothing more than a money pit, a system that is designed to suck as much cash out of young gamer's parents wallets as possible while offering absolutely nothing in return. Host based gameplay is an example.
Natal on the other hand could prove to be wonderful. I find Wii controls sloppy and unfun at best, and I can imagine Natal will be the same, but it is possible MS will get it right.
