Maybe its just me but I sincerely find that theres more Xbox fan that are biase. Being fan is no problem, but you know like hearing things how much PSN suck because it doesnt cross game chat. I mean its only a minority of gamer that use a function like that. I know for one I would never use that. You have hardcore gamer hyping Natal as it would be the messiah while its a device to gain more market share of casual gamer. At the same time those gamers are saying that Wii suck and that its aiming for casual gamer, but they are hyping natal?!?! I often read comments like: I played metal gear solid and never touch it again, theres no games. Or its a good paperweight. Also things like: xbox GPU is so much better hence the console have better graphics. This is just a few examples of things that make no sense and that we read often. Sure Wii and PS3 fan are also happy when there is something good for there console of choices and they will talk about it. But there is not as much biase. If someone say that they prefer Xbox because they like the Halo franchise and FPS, its perfect (or any other personal reason). But usually they say they like Xbox more because PS3 suck because of (input any reason here, which most of them are not real or was real 2 years ago).If you ask me why I like PS3 most, ill answer that I love the controller, that I like japanese games (I think that more japanese games will release on the PS3), that blue-ray impose less limit to RPGs developer and that I prefer Sony as a company. I will not answer that Xbox suck... Also im firstly a Video game fan before being any company fan. I almost purchase a Wii just to play muramasa. And I purchase a Xbox just to play Tales of vesperia, Ive also played star ocean and lost odyssey after it tho. Am i saying that its only good to accumulate dust even if it is what it is doing? No, because I know that there a lot of other game appealing to other person. And that they share a lot of game in common. The fact I prefer PS3 is not a reason to bash the other console. Each person have his own preference and thats alright, but it doesnt mean that you have to defend it using all kind of stupid argument and not being honest. It was almost a trend for the 360 gamer to bash everything related to the PS3. Luckily It seems to be better nowadays. |
I agree with everything you said except for the thing about cross game chat. I think if you had the option available to you, you would probably use the party chat function in Live quite a bit. It's a good way to socialize with your friends on Live even if you don't all have the same library of games.
HOWEVER, games like Modern Warfare 2 mostly seem to break the party chat system on Live and just kind of use their own methods of doing party chat, so if you're playing that game with your friends on PSN, you are at least for the moment getting the exact same party system experience as you are on 360. I have to wonder if that will happen with more games in the future.
Anyway, it is a big sticking point on the PS3, but also is sort of cancelled out by all the awesome things that the PS3 does that aren't necessarily available on the 360.
