S.T.A.G.E. said:
The media hub objective of Kinect is secondary, I've used it, it's nice but eventually the majority will just go back to the controller. Sony has more, but extremely small marketing behind these games. Microsoft has expressed how hard it is to make a great successfu l game as Forza, Halo and Fable are the only games they made which survived into this gen. Most of their other games left a lot of be desired. Luckily they are thinking like Sony, building teams based on allstar talent. Luckily Sony can do both, they can acquire devs and have great long lasting relationships with them and create companies from the ground up like Superbot just recently or the Suckerpunch dev acquisition which people have been waiting for quite a while. The only titles or products that are exclusive to the 360 that has truly caught hold of a following is Gears and XBLA. Microsoft needs to just buy the Gears IP already, but I doubt Epic will sell it to them, because they could keep taking money from Microsoft. I dont care how big Halo 4 is, if you're playing one game, that shows what type of gamer you are. I will be playing that, but there are other games out this year. Both consoles are known and liked for their multiplats, thats why they are called multiplats. Whether the 360 has more quality is subjective to you, they dont span as many genres and are locked down to three major titles in Halo, Forza and one last Gears game for the rest of this gen. When you experiment like Sony you aren't locked down to having just a couple quality games, you can have many in various genres. You and everyone else out there knows it, but if Sony had a major shooter with mass appeal they would have Microsofts number. |
Ok this has run its course but Ill just rebuttle with this:
1st: The word Exclusive sweeps 360 multiplats not on PS3 under the rug. 360 has more 70-79, 80-89, 90+ metacritic games. Superior Library wins out over just exclusives anyday.
2nd: Pure speculation on your part. Not if MS keeps pushing Kinect, which they are and have every intention to do so next gen. Itll only keep gaining momentum as a media hub controller.
3rd: I play multiplats, XBLA games, and the big exclusives. Why do people like you assume that were just playing Halo 4? I said Halo 4 is the biggest 360 game....that doesnt imply thats all 360 has. 360 actually has more 70-79, 80-89, 90+ games not on ps3 this year.....AND Halo 4. Fact is itll smash everything PS3 brought to the table this year AND 360 has more games on top of that. Win win.
4th: You always seem to be downplaying XBLA because it isnt a full sized retail game. Quality is quality regardless of the file size. XBLA gives 360 the quantity and quality and a variety of genres....but oh ya, PS3 gamers dont consider them games....right? Because to acknowledge XBLA is to acknowledge that 360 has better games and we cant have that now can we.....
5th: Sony will never have the creativity and talent, and marketing to pull that off. They had their shot with Resistance, Killzone, and indirectly with Dust514. None came close and it aint gonna happen.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
