| Godot said: I almost sweared I would never buy a Microsoft console but I did. I really hate Microsoft as a corporation but I have to admit that with the Xbox, they are playing it well. They are buying most of the good rpgs from the Japanese companies. What drove my purchase is 2 things: Tales of Vesperia and Final Fantasy XIII. I never really wanted a PS3 but now that most good RPGs are either exclusive to Xbox360 or multiplatform, I don't see the need of ever getting a PS3. It's a bit ironic because last generation I only had a PS2. Now, I have a Xbox and a Wii. I still prefer the Wiimote and will most likely get the multiplatform titles for the Wii but there's so much things I would miss by going with Wii alone. I would like to know for all of you that purchased a 360 instead of PS3, why did you do so? Do you feel that a 360 owner has any reason to buy a PS3? |
You make two interesting points:
1. Many of us who dislike MS OS/Apps/Corporate-Behavior have given their 360 product a shot. My experience has mostly been positive (pros: no RROD after 2 years, great games library, great XboxLive experience... cons: DVD drive is too loud, Gold-account profile inflexibility by MS), but I realize others have had bad experiences.
2. Many PS2-only users from last gen (such as you and I) have chosen the PS3. I have a good-sized library of PS2 games, but still chose the 360. This really damages the argument that PS2 fans from last gen are "loyal" to Sony.
I bought the 360 instead of the PS3 for two reasons:
1. Acceptable price (I grew tired of waiting for the PS3 and heard that the initial price of the high-end version would likely be over $500, which actually occurred at launch)
2. Halo/Xbox Parties
