All I can say is that fanatics will be fanatics. Anyway would I switch from the PS3 to an Xbox 360? If I had just PS3 that would be stupid and if I had just an Xbox 360 the switch would be stupid too. Neither really offers enough USP to really justify owning a 2nd for anyone who fits within the normal distribution of console owners.


Unless a 360 only owner really, really likes Gears 3 and Forza three, it's not just a risky decision to trade in the systems and get a PS3 for the games coming out this year.

Sure if there were two games coming out on the Xbox 360 and however many games coming out on the PS3 that might be the case. Unfortunately there are a couple of dozen great multiplatform games coming too and that kinda waters down the Sony exclusive lineup given most people would be hard pressed to buy more than 2-3 games in a year.

1)People critisize 360 for having only 2 games announced this fall (so far), but what does Sony have? Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, and InFamous 2? Wow big difference, one late announced game at E3 will even that out, and Halo is strongly rumored.

1) you seem to be forgetting twisted Metal, and all the other (5 plus) games that ALREADY came out this year only for playstation.

 

2)And what about the Kinect Games? Rise of Nightmares, Heavy Fire, Project Draco, Steel Batallion, and don't forget Seseme Street. I'm not sure about you, but I think a lot of people on this website could improve their grammer. Seseme Street may just be the most difficult game yet (I'm just joking). Seriously though, if Project Dragon becomes the next Panzer Dragoon, how sick would that be? It's being developed by the same people after all. Let's not ignore Kinect shall we

Yes I'm aware the Move has games too, but much much Less. Heros on the Move, Sorcery, and what else?

2) so youre counting no release date, little to no information about it, little to no gameplay shown, Kinect games. but not counting the Move games that fit the same discription. not to mention that kinect only games and move only games shouldnt even come remotely close at all to being spoken in the same breath as the "core" games for ps3 and xbox.

 

3)BTW How big are those PS3 franchises? InFamous 1 is sub 2 million, Resistance 2 barely crosses 2 million, and Uncharted 2, the only big title, is about 5 million. Combined, these three games sold <10 million units, and their successors will likely sell about 10 million combined. Gears 2 and Forza 3 combine to sell about 11 million, and their successors will sell more. So really is the 360 missing anything? No.

3) InFAMOUS is not a sub 2 million seller. its already at 1.95 million it will be at 2 million by the time infamous 2 releases. at will then surpase it, also inFAMOUS 2 will be much bigger.

resistance 2 sold a lot more than 2 million, it currrently sits at 2.15, and R3 will be bigger.

UC2 is still selling a ton, and will get 5.5 million plus sales life time.

 

4) P.S. I know I skipped Twisted Metal. If people can ignore even a single Kinect game, why can't I start ignoring a game which was originally planned to be an Arcade title?

because jaffy decided he loved the game, and wanted to make it huge, full fledged game. its also being released in a prime time slot, poised for a large launch. its a big budget title, that is no comparison to kinect titles.

wow is this a joke post, so much bias.

edit: forza is not a 5 million seller. it would barely reach 2 million if it werent for tons and tons of bundles
