Wii features games.

Xbox 360 features games.

Theres no difference, right?

I mean you can check the box 'has games' for both.

Still that doesn't tell you anything about the quality of that feature or the compellingness of that feature. Heck it doesn't even tell you about how different people respond to that feature.

 


ok then, then what feature does xbox have that is of a higher quality and compellingness than what the ps3 has to offer.

also is the feature huge, does it out way all other features that aren better on the ps3, does what ever the feature you speak of make xbox better than ps3.

i could say xbox has a better motion tracking camera than ps3, but that is showing the whole picture. if you add in a controller...

Xbox Live for starters. Either Sony failed to sell their free PSN service or Microsoft was able to make their paid service better than Sony's free, inspite of the cost difference.

The Xbox 360 had more really compelling software when the PS3 featured less, up to the end of 2008 but most importantly in 2006 and 2007, less 2008 and about the same 2009 and beyond.

The Xbox 360 had Netflix etc before the PS3 and captured the early market there. There wasn't the same rush to buy PS3s for Netflix when the Netflix audience, especially for streaming are early adopters.

The Xbox 360s Live marketplace has always been better.

Xbox Kinect offers features and gameplay options not found on either the PS3 or Wii and is unique.

The only thing Sony has and will continue to have is Blu Ray, but not actually coming with a remote was kinda dumb. It wasn't the most user friendly Blu Ray implementation. Probably for most people a $99 player is better because it comes with a remote!

Since you're talking about America, note that the majority of American homes with internet get it through/next to their TV so wireless was never a big issue there.

so how exactly is xbl better? i already posted reason why i feel psn is better

xbox did better with games in 2006, slightly better 2007, about the same in 2008. and ur not serious that they had equal game quality in 2009, are you? (Uncharted, infamous, kllzone, and more). 2010 was equal. and 2011 its not even close, ps3 by a land slide.

so what, xbox had netflix first, ps3 still has it (and with the recent up date, it now streams in higher picture and sound quality than xbox) so that not a feature that is better on xbox or one that ps3 doesnt have.

bolded made me lol. what exactly is unique about kinect, what was the eyetoy that came out a decade earlier. and what significant new gameplay can kinect accomplish that the ps eye and move cant. (also kinect is very limited in the games it can do, move is not. it has camera, motion controller, and navcon).

your really reaching here. your really downplaying the significance of bluray. and ignoring ps3 numerous features that A)xbox doesnt have or B) ps3 does better. also all ps3's come with this thing called a controller, it does the tasks of this remote thing you speak of. and actually ps3 is still one of the best bluray players on the market, actually 2nd best according to cnet.com (ps3 got beat out by a $800 bluray player)

thats speculation, but if i were to guess most people have their modems nears their computers, not near the TV. i know many people that but 100ft cat5 cables because they didnt want to shell out $100 for wifi adaptor (again proprietary)

 

i thought you were a PC gamer anyway, dont u have better versions of xbox games to play rather than claiming xbox is better than ps3
