Let me try to sum up this thread:

The PS3 is the hardware with the best value out of the three consoles... but all things considered, not necessarily the gaming platform with the best value.

Unfortunately for Sony, most people buy consoles as gaming platforms, not for the uber hardware.

 

Unfortunate? So... what your saying is PS3 doesn't have any good games on it worth playing? because if thats so... then your rather wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, WRONG! it has nearly every HD console game out there except a few exclusives that MS has such as the Halo, Fable and Gears series.

Thats just to name a few but every console has exclusives games, so does PS3 so please... dont go there your a great poster so theres no need for that.

I didn't say any of that!

The PS3 is a great gaming platform too, with plenty of good games. But the Wii clearly has a software library with more appeal for the majority of gamers, and the 360 has the advantage of some on the most popular genres like FPSs.

I do think, though, that the PS3 and 360 will be really close in sales until the end of this year.

 

Mhm, kay thats how it sounded at first though.

Now thats more like a J5 post. :)



Around the Network

How could anyone think that the 360 has better games than the PS3?

The PS3 passed the 360 software wise for a long time now.

@riot of the blood:

Individually anyone can think what they wish. It's just a matter of personal opinion.

The problem is that in trying to get their views across some people try to make their opinion fact.

Exclusive games are an important part of deciding on a console but the reality is that the far greater amount of games are multi-platform between the HD consoles.

I obviously speak for myself when I say the reason I have wii/ps3 is simply beacuse I also enjoy PC gaming and I am patient enough to wait on x360 games to come to that platform.

So the x360 offers me nothing I don't already have or can eventually have.

Other people ( I know a couple) prefer the x360 controller and made their purchase on that basis.

Which is better is a personal decision but your decsion shouldn't be dictated to others.

I may even be guilty of this myself so just in case I take this oppurtunity to apologise.

PS3 Slim - £249 - no games

360 Elite - £199 - 4 games - no wi-fi - no blu-ray.

Can't really play wifi or blu-ray though. Kinda need those pesky game discs to make the game console really do anything. The value argument is so damned retarded to use in the video game console wars. The games people enjoy are really the only factor worth discussing. Other elements play into it certainly, but they are so miniscule in comparison that it is laughable to think they tip it to favor any given side.
