The PS3 has it's share of hardware problems as well, besides that's about reliability. Futureproofing is something else.
Yeah, you can play the best looking games if you upgrade it, which is the complete opposite of futureproofing. That what you buy day 0 doesn't need to be upgraded to play games releases in 2 years time.
Doesn't matter how many people buy them as long as a single copy exists. All you can say is if you walked into a store, purchased Bulletstorm, Crysis 2, Black Ops you'll need the oldest console this gen to play them optimally. Hard drive or not. |
And? Reliablity matters a lot in future so it does matter in future-proofing. If my system fails every year that's hardly called future-proof. Oh and it did fail(for me at least) every year, btw.
Carmack himself has said it that the HDD gives an advantage to the PS3, and the blu-ray, seriously what future-proof are you talking about in relation to the 360? It uses old DVD media which has started to show its age with Dead Space 2 and Mass Effect 2 already, even Castlevania has 2 Discs.
No one buys older games, and the small quantity that do, do not matter. There are more people now who have a PC that can run GTA 4 properly then people who do have a 360 that can run GTA 4 properly along with an HDTV. With time, more people start buying new PCs and end up getting temporary gaming PCs. So your so called "future proof" 360 didn't ever exist. And now that its reliablity is restored, the multiplats quality on the PS3 is also getting better (the irony). This year if you have observed 50 % of the games either look the same or run better on the PS3, or have some kind of DLC exclusivity. The only exception is Bulletstorm. Stacking, de blob 2, Dead Space 2, Marvel vs Capcom 3, Dragon Age 2, are all better or the same on the PS3 according to either lens of truth or digitalfoundry. There's like 2 games that are better on the 360. Even Mass effect 2 is the same on both and it uses unreal engine as well.
