PS3 users are you thinking of switching to a Xbox 360?

I get what Michael-5 is trying to say. People on this site act like the PS3 exclusives are what everybody want or should want. The reality is different though. A lot of people care only for multi like Assassin's Creed, COD, GTA etc. To a lot of people exclusives are no better that multiplat games so why would they care if a game is exclusive? It's not better because it's exclusive, at least if it was the case most of those PS3 exclusives you're all talking about would sell much better. The same can be said for 360, just because Alan Wake is exclusive doesn't make it a game everyone wants.

Switching conssole is meaningless unless you want almost exclusively exclusives from another console but this is mainly a forum posters wish. I would also understand, in the current situation, if you mainly play online maybe switching to a console that actualy offers online play would be a good idea.

Kind of. Actually I was just looking at games for fall 2011. For the rest of 2011 PS3 only has 3 big games, Uncharted 2, InFamous 2 and Resistance 3. There are titles like Twisted Metal and ICO Collection also coming out, but if people can ignore 360's pretty cool Kinect Line up (Panzer Dragoon and Steel Batallion are pretty cool, I'm sorry), and Last Templar, why should people no ignore the more modest PS3 games?

For Fall 2011, the 360 and PS3 lineup looks about the same. Gears 3 and Forza 4 are the only 5 million plus blockbuster titles on the 360 lineup, but games like Project Dragon, Rise of Nightmares, and Steel Batallion do populate that list. I already mentioned the PS3 lineup.

After the exclusive lineup, there is a rumored Assassin's Creed 3, Batman: Arkham City, Elder Scrolls V, Dark Souls, Dead Island, Dues Ex, Max Payne, Metal Gear Solid Rising, and a new Call of duty game.

Yes for 2011 PS3 has more games overall, but the fall lineup isn't much different. Also remember, fall 2010 PS3 only had GT5 as an exclusive. Besides there is strong rumors for a Halo Remake, and MS tends to announce games very late into development. It's very likely they announce something this E3 that releases this fall. If that's the case, the exclusive lineup is the same.

So the point is, for upcoming games, switching consoles is meaningless.

If were going to look at games in the past, 360 and PS3 are also about the same. Remember how few games released for the PS3 prior to 2009? Did everyone forget that? So still, switching consoles is meaningless, if it's for the games.

I think a more relevant question for this thread is "PS3 users, are you thinking of switching away from a Sony based console next gen?"
