Damn too little too late, ignore that last post haha.

Wow I love the bolded part!

Well I do know some people on here seem to do nothing but game and sometimes are very annoying in their devotion to a console.

That number does make more sense especially for the poorer players. I just had to call you out because you sometimes appear biased towards microsoft. I have a slight bias for Sony, but I fully admit it. So I just thought you were being a little hypocritical.

Anyways, having balance in life is certainly a good thing. Something I have always tried to do myself. :)

Cool at least it hasn't ended in a disagreement.

Anyway if you read back my original point was that theres enough on any console to satisfy most people and if you already have a current generation console there is little reason to switch from any of them for the typical console owner.

Okay well I just didn't believe your number about 3 without a source, my inner sceptic is always on the prowl. I totally agree that a person that buys so few games would want to spend extra money in a transition to another console when they are not increadibly invested in the hobby. Cool beans than.

The source is the current attach rate for consoles.

Root key allows users to do anything. I'm sure using it one could install a PS2 emulator, such as one you have on your PC. I believe a root key can do that.

I limit my arguements to BC because I don't know what else you would use a root key for other then backing up or pirating games, and BC. However I heard using the root key can restore the PS3 to older firmware, or return functionality.

If you build aconsole from scratch, and do not distribute it, thats perfectly legal.

Microsoft AND Sony are making money on their consoles, a lot of money.

However moding a PS3 to play Wii is a different story. You're affecting console sales. There should be some limit to console modification, and I beleive by law it's consoles still in circulation. The only reason I feel PS3 should be PS2 BC is because it used to be out of the box, but then no one played PS3 games.

People critisize 360 for having only 2 games announced this fall (so far), but what does Sony have? Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, and InFamous 2? Wow big difference, one late announced game at E3 will even that out, and Halo is strongly rumored.

And what about the Kinect Games? Rise of Nightmares, Heavy Fire, Project Draco, Steel Batallion, and don't forget Seseme Street. I'm not sure about you, but I think a lot of people on this website could improve their grammer. Seseme Street may just be the most difficult game yet (I'm just joking). Seriously though, if Project Dragon becomes the next Panzer Dragoon, how sick would that be? It's being developed by the same people after all. Let's not ignore Kinect shall we?

Yes I'm aware the Move has games too, but much much Less. Heros on the Move, Sorcery, and what else?

Squilliam, I agree with you, turn down peoples bias, think about the Children!

It doesn't make sense to trade in a console. Trade in Values for consoles is <$50, and games over 2 years old are almost worthless. You would be lucky to get the opposite console, PS3 or 360.

Also I agree with the 2-3 games a year philosophy, and I can back it up. What's the tie ratio for the PS3 and 360? Under 10 games per console owner? For PS2 it was about 11 games per console, and with a lifetime of 6 years (as a primary console), that would be less then 2 games a year if everyone bought their console day 1. However people don't buy their consoles day 1, so assume an average primary lifespan of 3 years, thats <4 games per year. This ignores game sales after the PS3 launched, realistically during prime PS2 life, the tie ratio was lower, maybe 9 (like the 360 is now), so that makes 3 games a year.

BTW How big are those PS3 franchises? InFamous 1 is sub 2 million, Resistance 2 barely crosses 2 million, and Uncharted 2, the only big title, is about 5 million. Combined, these three games sold <10 million units, and their successors will likely sell about 10 million combined. Gears 2 and Forza 3 combine to sell about 11 million, and their successors will sell more. So really is the 360 missing anything? No.

P.S. I know I skipped Twisted Metal. If people can ignore even a single Kinect game, why can't I start ignoring a game which was originally planned to be an Arcade title?

2011:

PS3 = Yakuza 4,motorstorm,KZ3,LBP2,Resistance3,Uncharted 3,Infamous 2,WKC2 and twisted metal.

360 =  Gears and forza.

notice how I didn't even include games like socom4,Ratchet all 4 one or PSmove crap on the ps3 list?

If you cant see a big difference in that then god help you cause no1 else can and quit morphing the debate on which console has most exclusive game titles releasing into our only 2 exclusive sells more, it really looks desperate TBH you know you only got 2 titles so you resort on talking about how many ppl are gonna buy it like its gonna change the fact that the other console has more exclusive to offer to the gamers.

Oh, there are a LOT more PS3 exclusives than that, and I imagine there will be more Xbox titles, I doubt Microsoft would drop the ball so conclusively this year without some surprises.  I really really hope they do have some surprises, that's for sure! As it stands:  

360 - Gears of War 3, Forza 5(?)

PS3 - LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3, Yakuza 4, Motorstorm Apocalypse, Socom 4, inFamous 2, Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One, Twisted Metal, the Ico collection,  and oithers that may or may not make it this year including two of my most anticipated, The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy vs XIII.  

Wii - ??? will we get Zelda?
