So I have always Identified myself more on the Sony side. Not so much because of a corporation, but because of the flagship titles. I love Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, and GT, but I don't like Gears and Halo at all. That's what it seemed that all Xbox fans liked. When Halo 3 came out (which I bought and sold a week later after beating it), everyone always asked me "How do you like Halo?" when I told that I owned the console. I really bought it for Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata - when the jRPGs were starting to roll out. Now I'm playing Lost Odyssey again (took a hiatus during the university semester), and I love the game to death. I'm as equally excited about Ninja Gaiden, Infinite Undiscovery, and Tales of Vesperia. While Japan has rejected HD gaming and gone to house and pet keeping simulators, I'm glad some company is throwing money for these great developers from that country to develop great games. It's really the games that define a console for me, and I think both the PS3 and 360 are getting a good share of titles this generation. I wasn't interested in the Xbox because of the huge controller, the design wasn't exactly appealing, and also all the games made its way to PC in a more refined form. I passed up the 360 for the first 1.5 years after launch because I thought it was going to be the same as the original Xbox. As long as Microsoft keeps releasing jRPGs, I'm a customer. This generation, I think I'm squarely in the PS360 HD console side. I had a Wii for a month and just didn't care for it at all with the controls so I sold it. The control scheme is new, but it needs some refining for next generation. I love Nintendo, Mario, and Zelda, but with the new direction that Ninty is taking this generation, I really think MS and Sony are catering more to my wants as a gamer. I may buy a Wii again when Tales of Symphonia 2 and the real Wii Zelda comes out. So yeah, it's about the games, not the badge on the box I'm playing them on. Pretty soon, I'll be building a PC too. |
