But why are you giving advice for a console you don't own?

I OWN a X360 FOR THE RPGs. I am in the same catagory of gamer as he is. I despise FPS games, and picked up a 360 for RPGs. You don't own a X360, king, you own a PS3. Your going to say "don't pick up a X360 for one game" because you don't know the library - I do! It'd be like me saying that the PS3 only has one good game (Uncharted). I'd think that because I don't own a PS3, therefore have no real reason to provide guidance on that system. But I own a X360, love JRPGs, and feel that I *might* be able to say that if he wants LO, and his GF want VP, there are more than enough other big games on the X360 to warrant a purchase.

because the user asks if he should buy the console or not, NOT what games he should buy. Why do you have to own the console in the first place?

Besides, he has a pretty good idea about all the library games anyway.

I love how people would automatically recommend the system they own to an user who might or might not even enjoy it (base on his taste of games).

In fact, if he asked if he should pick up a PS3 for FFXIII alone, I'd say no. I'm here to give advice, not trying to sell him my console.

There are 2 games that I would consider to be system sellers. FF13 and SSBB.

 disagree. I would say a COMBINATION of 2-3 AAA exclusives are needed.

for PS3, I'd say, Resistance, FFXIII, MGS4

for Xbox, Halo 3, BioShock, Gears

For Wii: SMG, SSBB, MK 

 

Consoles aren't that cheap anymore, There's no way I would recommend 1-2 AA games as a reason to get any console.
