Top 5 Xbox 360 Games PS3 Fanboys Wish They Had

[Reasonable]

I don't know why but I find it interesting that 4 of the 5 will be on PC at some point, and will likely (if GoW, the original Fable and Mass Effect are anything to go by) have additional content, etc. to boot as well.

360 really needs to get rid of the perception its just a cheap PC to play slightly dumbed down FPS/Third Person PC games on IMHO if it wants a shot at the PS1/PS2 levels of console sales.

 

Take a look at the GI review of Dark Messiah for the 360. Apparently, the reverse is true in that instance, i.e. - the 360 version came later but definite improvements were made. Also, the review of PC Assassins Creed in GI had points taken off for not having as elegant a control interface on the PC as on the PS3/360.

 

Count me in as one of those who grew tired of having to upgrade my PC ever couple of years to be able to play the latest AAA titles. As soon as I switched to PS2 I found that I was spending less money upgrading, had a broader selection of games, and was spending more time playing games in the living room with the wife and kid rather than isolating myself in the computer room. Now that we have the 360 and Wii, the same appears to be true.

 

PC's are really the only way to go for RTS games, but for everything else I have no desire to go back to sitting by myself in another room or being forced to move my PC to the living room for gaming and then having to take over the home theater when I want to get work done. Our family is much happier with the current setup.

 

 

My point was these games show that a) 360 is still sharing market with PC owners and b) that unless it gets a broader set of 'must have' games in more genres it has no chance of every seeing the kind of sales PS1 and PS2 did.
