Unfortunately developers don't care about such comparisons as the 360 sells more games now and will for quite some time. All games will be multi-platform. Or be on the wii.

A blue-ray player the benefit? Oh yeah, the privilege of paying premium prices for content. That's no benefit at all - if it was down the road with a larger and more accessible library, maybe... but these days? Premium price that btw, goes back to Sony's pocket. And multiplats HAVE to fit on one DVD. All the liberties they take with the ps3 version are meaningless, else they'd be crippling sales on the 360 and that's exactly what devs can't afford. Anyways, whatever minor liberties they take at the end, the vast majority of multiplatforms run better on the 360 with one hand's fingers enough to count the multiplatforms that run better on the ps3. I know it burns you that you paid an extra 200$-150$ for something you won't largely get to enjoy but that was Sony's decision - thank them. Nevermind the mandatory hard-drive installs that they forced down to you with that 1x (or is it 2x?) drive. As for the monopoly, it existed. For 6 years if you wanted the best games you had to buy a ps2 - just like if you want to have the largest software library you have to buy windows. It's just that you don't mind a Sony monopoly but take offence at a Microsoft monopoly. Which should be of no surprise given how you created an account to troll with your username and avatar. Blu-Ray in the ps3 was just an attempt to use their leverage on the videogame market to forcefeed the format and it's elevated costs to consumers in a bid to win the format war. By the way, you should have your prices right when making price comparisons - it's way more than 100$. It was 200$ when the ps3 launched and it's 150$ bucks right now. Anyways it worked for them - Blu-Ray has won but it's crippled the platform as far as support goes. That's another cost ps3 users have to pay - ask jrpg players how much fun they are having with their Blu-Ray sporting consoles. |
Multiplats have to fit on one dvd on 360. Agreed.
PS3's full potential will more often be apparent with exclusives, that's true. No big. Too many games to play. I'm sure you feel the same. Also I watch shitloads of Blu-Ray.
"Blu-Ray was just an attempt blah blah" -- so a CE company can't add a feature. Sorry, man. You are right. Stripped down game console only. Got it. Abuse of gamers with those 50gb game discs. Got it. That's some biased shit, man.
Blu-Ray didn't "cripple" support. Stop and think before you type. PS3 launching later and MS moneyhatting have reduced the number of games especially in the genre MS targetted heavily. Didn't help MS in Japan, did it?
Yeah, the drive is 2x. Faster read at certain points and slower at certain others than a dvd spinning in the 360's drive. Mandatory installs on some games, but you have a hard drive in every PS3, and it's not proprietary and overpriced to replace like the 360 drive. Faster load times are a feature. That 6th game install you got on the hdd? Erase it or upgrade the hdd. Keep your game save; stop bitching. Faster loads, cheaper hard drives, PS3.
doesn't matter, the 360 has more consoles out there now AND for the moment it is outselling the PS3 weekly. Anything more than that is just future potential.
currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X
I would disagree with the thinking "PS3 is at X where 360 was at X". The industry works at a single period of time. It matters not if the PS3 is were the 360 was last year. In the end, it will mean that Microsoft will release their system earlier and prompt Son y to begin working on theirs lest be left behind. They times are not separate; everything is relative to the hear and now (or the then and there).
