Personal attacks against Goldstein because his opinion doesn't match yours is pretty distasteful. 

I agree with him. I think the PS3 is a much more superior console than the 360, that's my opinion and I'll stick by it. Unless Microsoft starts pulling their weight around with their exclusives, I don't think I'll be playing be purchasing or playing many 360 games in 2011. He justified his opinion, his already done more than what half the people in this thread have done, which is exactly making an attempt to prove a point.


and what we have right now is what we had last year. This time last year people were saying Xbox360 had no games, at the end of it we had Kinect and its games, Halo, Fable and that is just exclusives that I can think of from the top of my head.

I don't know why people keep saying that MS waits until the last minute to announce games.

This time last year Halo, Fable, Kinect, Splinter Cell, Alan Wake, and Mass Effect 2 were already announced.

Since this guy seems to be all about the size of his epenis, someone needs to show him a PC...

He'll be on his site the next week saying "Good news, I discovered that PC games have free online as well and have graphics wich demolish PS3 and 360...Not to mention that exclusives outnumber both HD consoles combined...I'm switching again!"

And if you had posted this 2 weeks ago you'd be saying all they have for next year is Gears 3, and then they announce Forza 4.

Forza 3 was announced during E3 and released 4 months later.

And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

Shadow Complex (last year's downloadable GOTY) was announced 2 months before release in 2009 as well.

Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

You assume that the 360 has had an amazing year every year. Did your argument apply to 2009 when the best thing to come out of the 360 was Forza 3, a Halo RTS, a Halo expansion pack and a downloadable game. 2010 has now passed and Microsoft have released an adaptation of  nearly every one of their major franchises, so unless you expect a Crackdown 3, a Fable 4, a Halo 4 or a brand new franchise, then I'm not seeing what they've got to offer in 2011. 

I really hope Microsoft pull through, because I don't want a repeat of 2009, but I doubt I'm going to be surprised with the results after they themselves have said that their primary focus is Kinect and the only announced titles they have coming in the new year are Gears of War 3 and Forza 4 ( I'm not a fan of Forza). 

I'd also like to point out that the games you listed (Fable, Halo, Kinect)  were all announced around the middle of 2009. They aren't very good examples of Microsoft's habit of waiting until the last minute to announce a game, I think that myth comes from the release of Gears of War 2 and for justifications sake, it's stuck. Gears 2 was announced in February (2008) and released in November (2008), that's still a lengthy gap between announcement and release, this also applies to Microsoft's other exclusives like Halo: Wars, Splintercell: Conviction, Banjo & Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, Alan Wake, Fable 2, Bioshock and Mass Effect, all of which were announced at X06, but were then released years later.  It's just a lame way to justify or postpone the admission that Microsoft might not have a great exclusive line up for 2011. 

I still think people are lame for attacking the opinion of someone who has found a new preference, only because it knocks down the justification of their console (from their point of view). Unjustified personal attacks only makes this forum look childish and I'm a little disgusted that some of the culprits are members with such a high post count, it only makes them look worse. 



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
