Really now!? LMAO! Halo is just the most obvious. Gears of War, Fable, Forza all have unique online communities. Forza doesn`t have an online community...? Tell that to all of those that build cars in Forza to be bidded/purchased in the Auction House. Shall I also mention the fact that the online community on X360 multiplatform titles is huge compared to that on PS3. As I said earlier....if you are a big online gamer you likely are an Xbox Gamer. Another reason for this could be because of how many people own an X360 in NA and Europe. I can`t imagine that choosing what platform to buy a game on never crossed your mind simply based on how many of your friends also owned a specific platform. This is more true in NA but I bet it happens almost as often in Europe. |
wait you quoted Rol someone that doesn't care for 360 or PS3 and told him to keep telling himself that! do you see anything wrong there?
no to mention Rol's right. MS is a marketing machine that i'd say is only rivaled by apple and not many others. even if Sony and MS had the same install or Sony had more even 10m more, sertant games would still sell better on 360 cause thats the community.
i agree with your first paragraph in this post but the second is hit or miss. i myself have alot of core friends that own and play 360 more often then not and i own a PS3(360 and wii are more of second thought consoles in my house)becuase thats wht i wanted not becuase some friend of mine was getting one.
i like PSN more then XBL cause its more flexible to me. other then Halo all 360 exclusives sell around the same as PS3s library and i'd bet avatar control you couldn't prove otherwise!
as a matter of fact GT5 and GEARS2 have sold 6m+ units and GeARS is MS second biggest selling exclusive. multiplatfom is the main driver of the xbox platform and success and thats why MS works so hard at it, but the market has determinded that anyway cause 360 has the larger install base.
you drive alot of great oints that can't be argued.
