Out of this entire thread, only one person has posted about Microsoft.  I'm not surprised, either.  The 360 is my favorite console this generation but I feel no loyalty to them.  If it's the better console, I'll pick one up.  If not, it'll stay on the shelf.  I own every console of the 7th gen but the only one I purchased without games to back it up was the Nintendo DS.  I'll buy whichever is worth buying and I won't buy it until theres a compelling reason to.

the other post i was looking for.

side note: you never did beat VC on PS3 did you?

As soon as I saw you post on my wall, I knew that question was coming!  After we routed that giant tank thingy, there was a skirmish in the city.  That army obliterated Squad 7.  I turned the PS3 off and never tried it again!  I was humiliated.  I guess if I kept my team together instead spreading them so thinly..........I was tempted to lie but something about your name written in all caps compells me to tell the truth!!

very funny. that was LOL crazy.

tell me wht chapter it is and i'll help cause theres 2 many big tank thingies on that game.

i'm still playing it again (5th time). i think im on chapter 11 or something.

It was the one that we stopped by setting off explosives and causing an avalanche to block its path.  It killed anybody in its path in one hit and there was a town surrounded by landmines.  That was the last battle we won.  Haven't played it since January.

the marmota ok and your fighting it from the side right and it keeps charging up and blasting the ground right?

I think the problem with MS is there's very little exclusive MS content now.   Halo has gotten long in the tooth.  Bioware has gone multi-platform.   Viva Pineta seems dead.     They closed studios, released Bungie.

What's left?  Fable, and Rare and Gran Turismo.   Hardly compelling reason to remain exclusively loyal.    At least not when compared to Sony and Nintendo's extensive 1st party offerings. 

good point and there no sign of them getting any new studios for support. good stuff.

you mean forza not GT.

next gen could prove to be diff, but great point

Yea because this site is always just sony and nintendo fans and not microsoft anymore because they dont really care all that much ... and also @ d2lewis true they havent grown up sorry to say but im adult and dont really care for kiddy mario games and etc anymore havent really cared at all the last nintendo console i own was the n64

bold statement
and N64 was a great console. in my opnion the best of the 5th gen



yes n64 was that why i owned it and was my favorite even when i had a ps1 also  perfer the n64 more

dito



I'll be getting Nintendo and Sony for sure. Best exclusive titles, easy. I may end up with Microsoft's console at some point but it all depends on price, features, all that good stuff.

I didn't own the Xbox but got a 360 after I got the Wii (I got a good deal on a used one), and followed it up with a PS3 after the first 100$ drop. I'm on my second Xbox now, but I really use it for multi-plat games because its what most of my friends have (CoD, etc).

as long as microsoft keeps gears exclusive , i love my fable , i do miss viva pinata , they own project gotham ip which i love the series , they own inifinte undiscovery , crackdown etc .... but as long as they get a few new ips that really all i care about , i love xbox live all my friends use live so why should i switch im fine  with microsoft they havent done anything wrong with me , other then not buying bioware or bizzare but eh  oh well ...

ur right theres no need to switch but prepare before your purchase cause next gen will be a testament and very interresting.

yea im a big gears head but don't you need more? i saw the other games you posted aswell, but i'm greedy.

i settled for 8 exclusive franchises that appeald to me this gen and only Sony and Nintendo hit that mark, but i won't settle for 8 next gen?

i need 20 new IP published by the console manufacture that appeal to me, cater to me interest, and innovate some how. i'll need more then wht i know next gen! cause for me its about the unnone! not to much to ask for right?

NGP and 3ds need 15.

nice

the comments about exclusives tells me you really want a console that has franchises and not just games.



First console will definitely be Sonys. I'll eventually get the other two as well, but which ever one satisfys my needs (probably Microsoft) will get purchased 2nd.



sony only

by next gen exclusives will be fewer than they are now so it wont matter much i havent yet been to let down with sonys exclusive gen line up i would just ask for there to be more M ratted exclusive games as im always getting older i still dont know why sony hasnt made a exclusive modern FPS war game can you imagine COD with KZ3 type graphics?

 

i would improve sonys controller aswell its time to retire it

 

if there was no sony the box would be the next step im impressed with some of there exclusives so far gears and forza and i like there controller

for next gen i would like to see sony or MS go with at least 4GB ram both gpu and cpu and even have an option to add more for those that want a better gaming experience much like the ability we have now to swap out are HDDs but i believe it will be just 2GB

 

also the controller has room for another face button some current games are in need of one or two more buttons

It isn't surprising, they have the smallest fan service of the 3.

--two, now.  Somebody voted M$ while I was writing the other post.


Yeah.  I guess not enough of us have grown up in a world where there's always been a Microsoft console.  It's no issue, though.  I didn't have an original Xbox and I'm surprised to have enjoyed the 360 as much as I did.  And in all honesty, I haven't even voted!  I guess I'll click "see results".

thats wht i did and its my thread lol.

had no plans to vote for either console because of the unnone.
