I really don't understand that mindset that some Playstation gamers seem to have.  I mean when I bought a 360 it was because it had games available that I wanted to play like Oblivion and Gears of War.  But many PS3 fans talk about games a year or two away and it always makes me wonder why they simply don't hold off buying a system and get some extra price cuts if they're waiting for games a year or two away.


I don't know the exact amount of 360 games out right now, so lets say it has 250 games out. Can you honestly say that 250 games is enough to justify buying a console? No, so you look at the games that are going to be realeased in the future, then make your choice on based on what console is going to have the games that fit your taste. Lets say you're a fan of action-adventure games. Now, neither the Xbox 360, PS3 or Wii have that many out right now. All three are lacking in this genre right now. So you what do you do? You look at what console is going to be getting the best action-adventure games. You look and see that the PS3 has Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Devil May Cry 4, Heavenly Sword, and compare it to what the other consoles have in this genre. You then see that it's the best choice for fans of the genre and you deem the PS3 as the right console for you. This is why people look into the future to decide if theconsole is for them or not. Lets face it, you're not goion to turn into the PS2 over night. It takes time to build up a good library.

It reminds me of a Playstation fan I used to work with.  He hated shooters and always put down the Xbox because of them.  Then when the PS3 came out guess which game he got for it...  Resistance because it was the only game he could find for it that was remotely interesting to him.  After he finished that he ended up playing FF12 and other PS2 games dispite the fact he could have easily played those the system he already had.

Your friend is just... weird. He hates shooter, but the only game he has is Resistance? Thats a bit stupid, considering that the PS3 has quite a few good games that arn't shooters.
