Funny trend I noticed this gen...

I should add...

While 360 fans may seem to want what they can't have, the PS3 fans want to keep what isn't theirs (see: FFXIII meltdowns). The franchises I listed before (FF, DMC, Tekken) were kept exclusive to PS platforms due to the PS1/PS2's success, and the fact they were the leading consoles - not because the companies are in love with Sony.

Hell, you can't blame anyone for wanting FFXIII or MGS4 on their system, as it isn't owned by Sony. Also, they're huge games, ones early 360 users have likely played earlier iterations of. It's obvious when you see games like DMC4 on the 360 outsell the PS3 version in the west (which is what matters, as few people on these forums are from Japan).

You brought up last gen earlier about PS2 users not caring, and it's true: the games the PS2 missed out on outside of Nintendo games, Fable, and Halo, were irrelevant. Especially when the XB games would come out on the PC anyway...

I don't blame anyone for wanting anything. It's just that the answer you get on why people got a 360 is usually "it has the best games". Regardless of the maker or the gen, there were always some big games that skipped the console you had/preferred. Never have I heard so much noise about it. It was usually a matter of looking at the games you wanted and where they were and just taking the plunge. The reason people bought a 360 that I stated would also add to this line of reasoning.

Why now so much noise to the point where it spills over to GOWIII? Did they not realize what to expect before buying their consoles?

Is it only me that thinks it's getting ridiculous? I mean, Kojima shows up at VGA now means he's announcing mgs4 360. konami puts green symbols on their website now means mgs5 /4 360. Are we so caught up in the madness that we can't see how ridiculous this is getting?
