Good for the ones switching. It is much better online product in my opinion.

Well seeing as the next God of War won't be on Xbox, I'm going to have to shout a 'HELL NO' right about now.

Honestly speaking, I think they are roughly on par with each other. (Not counting the current issue caused by PSN network.)

I've renewed my XBL subscription and I doubt I will be able to trust Sony with my personal details again. With data that important I can only give one chance.

Reasonable said:

The majority of PS3 owners won't switch for the same reason the majority of 360 owners didn't switch with RROD. They want the games and they'll forgive and forget to get them.

I mean some people for sure will switch, but not many I'm sure. Same way some people probably gave up on 360 during the RROD days but not enough to notice.

Reasonable user posts reasonable response. Thread ends reasonably.

RROD was a covered issue. Also it did push a lot over in there decision on what system to buy. I'm willing to bet if RROD never happened, you would see the gap over 10-15 million or more. IT had a hugh impact on who would buy what. Most average people heard it here or there and said, F that I'm not willing to deal with that. Some realized they where covered for 3 years and thought that was a good move. Most didn't.

People hearing on the news there information was stolen even if it's small is not good and won't be as bad as RROD but you will see some changes in thought about the service people use.

the gap would be a lot less. RROD made people to buy a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and even 5th. I gave up on the 2nd..

I don't agree at all. The people who didn't buy in yet where the ones to choice the ps3 over the xbox360 due to the Publicity surrounding 360's failure rate. Also going as far as 2,3,4,5th is just a joke. At that point you must be rapping the system up in a towel and hoping for a failure. Not only that you had 3 years of warranty and by that time the problem had been fixed. So you logic= fail.

Not only that I wouldn't be over there talking up ps3 when there first systems had a bunch of problems, without a 3yr warranty. Every person I know that had a ps3 had to buy another. So don't be so sure. The deal was that RROD over shadowed everything. PS3 was not much more reliable in the beginning.
