It's actually pretty logic if your a hardcore gamer you should choose the xbox360 because it has a lot more good games and is less expensive then the PS3. In almost every genres the 360 has a better game then the PS3. I questioning more EU choosing the PS3 over the 360 anyway.

Well you still pay to play online (60 dollars a year) which sucks ass for me because I don't play online very often.

You don't get any real exclusive features that you could over the PS3

No pre-packaged High Def disk player (ala blu-ray)

No bells and whistles that the PS3 offers like Standard Wi-fi, hard drive, HDMI 1.3, blue tooth headset compatibility, remote play, internet browser, etc etc.

The choice of games is purely opinionated, but the 360 currently has the "higher rated" library, if that's what you go by. The 360's lineup doesn't currently interest me so thats kind of a negligible point.

So if you were going by a "games only" standpoint, sure you "could" say the 360 is more diverse, but if your looking for ANYTHING else, not so much. Considering the only model that really compares to the PS3 is the Elite, and even that doesn't have half the features of a PS3, yet has a higher price tag.

And not to beat a dead horse, but the PS3 is still much more reliable than the 360 :/


Since when do I need the highlighted stuff for gaming? I can spend $199 for a used 360 off eBay and a few bucks for a game - and guess what? I am in the next-gen of HD gaming. The cheapiest way for a PS3 fan? $421 without a game. And a game will run you at least $40. So, you are looking at $450 at least just to play a PS3 game, and God help you if you want to get software BC - it's a much better deal to just get an 80gb with Motorstorm in the end ...


 Perhaps that's it? 

Americans as a whole might just perfer simplicity in design.  Maybe europe likes multifunctional gadgets more.

I know i don't want one multifunctional item to take care of all my entertainment needs.  I mean if it breaks I'm screwed. 

I think it's more got to do with the Sony brandname though as Sony really pushed console gaming in europe more then Nintendo did.  Playstation was basically Europes Nintendo. (from what i hear anyway.)
