Just for the record regarding patches, when MW2 was first out the PS3 version got some updates before the 360 version. The main patch that reduced lag was out for several weeks before the 360 one from what i recall. The 360 version of MW2 was also hacked like crazy compared to no hacks on the PS3, the care package glitch was also hardly abused on the ps3 compared to the 360.

360 players were constantly thrown into 18player ground war games on Rust(smallest map) with players smashing them with ac-130's from above.

360 players also had to endure wall hacks, auto aim, players shotting ac-130 rounds from their guns and rapid fire RPG's.

W@W right now on the 360 is unplayable for the most part with 95% of games having players with god mode or some other hack.

MW3 pre-orders mean very little this early and when the game is closer to coming out the pre-orders for the PS3 will go up.

I'm not sure about CoD4 on either system or W@W on the PS3. Black ops 360 and MW2 ps3 have very little hacks going on right now based on the games i've played.

rly? so 360 sold 90 million games from nov 2005-nov2006? 

That is by far a impressive launch year for any console then to get that kind of software sales. 

But alas, we dont live in a alternate reality where they launched at the same time. 

All I see is a 90 million software gap and again I doubt it all came from 360s head start.

360 consistently outsells ps3 in software, with 2011 being an exception so far. 

And given Sonys past in the industry, Id say MS is going pretty good against the former giant of gaming. 

I preorder nearly everything I get at Gamestop due to the fact I can put down $20 or so at a time and have it all paid off already when it is out. I don`t have to drop huge cash down all at once if I am wanting 2 or 3 games that come out within 2 weeks time frame this way.  As far as pre-order incentives however, most nowadays are ok  or nice but don`t mean much.

I wish they went back to giving out cool gear like hats and t-shirts and stuff as pre-order bonuses instead of free dlc bits that should be available to everyone in the first place.

I think one reason that MW3 pre-orders are bigger on X360 is for 2 reasons actually... 1) More people buy their games on X360 in NA & 2) X360 has a much larger more vibrant online community.

Dont know what game Reisstance is but ill definately be getting Resistance 3 lol

could not have put it better myself

Which is why I only preorder limited editions, hahaha.

Well that is why I have pre-ordered Gears 3, the only issue with that is that they haven't even announced the MW 3 limited editions (to my knowledge)

now thats a better argument then you had at first, and its almost true and fits me to the t. i've owned 15 games so fare this gen and only have about 8 of them now.

i know wht i want but my situation may be different from others so i won't go into why. i'll never prepresent the core of PS3 owners, but i know wht i want and PS3 has it.

also that 90m unit software gap that 360 has(yea i'm talking about it now) came from being marke leader for wht 2 yrs! they kick'd Sony and Nintnedo's ass for 1 full yr, not to mention for the first 3 yrs 360 was where multi-platform ip dominated PS3 even for the PS3's first 2 yrs.

but 2008 Sony broke into the top 10 for sofware sells(not sure need to be check'd at the time of this post)2009-20010 they stay' in the top 5(again needs to be checked)and today PS3 sit's in the top 10.

we both know this one thing. PS3 will never make that 90m software gap up but they'll never leave the top 10 again as long as they stay commited to there own IP and work strongly with 3rd party.

Perhaps PS3 owners are waking up and noticing that CoD is the same shit every year but in a slightly different package?
