I can understand why Japanese people buy Sony products over american..

 

but why do European people choose PS3 over the 360?    i mean the 360 has an amazing library!  Forza, Halo, Gears!!  the online is so much better on the xbox!

i just dont understand them..  can someone explain this to me?   especially Germany, France, Italy, Spain  im not talking about UK

I rarely play online and I'm not a big fan of 1st person shooters. I prefer hack&slay games / 3rd person action games and that's why I bought a  PS3 (god of war, infamous, uncharted, metal gear solid, r&c ...)

Are you kidding me? PS3 has more and better exclusives plus all the multis. It has free online which no matter what you say works perfectly. Blu-ray.

In fact, I would throw the question just the opposite way: What makes people buy an X360 nowadays???? O_o



PS3 is just a better system which has a lot of things for a price not so big.
More exclusives
Blu-Ray
etc ...

SO WEIRD!!

In Europe? Or in every country other than the USA?



Indeed, everywhere except USA ... you don't see farther than your country, be open-minded ...

Because if you have a really good PC, the only exclusives that are big hitters that you miss out on are:
Halo, Gears and Forza.

Whilst on the PS3...
Uncharted, God of War, Killzone, Littlebigplanet, Gran Turismo and the final installment in the Metal Gear Solid franchise is there. Not only is that twice the amount of the 360 exclusives, they also have a more critical acclaim to the titles (eg. LBP being 2008 GOTY by most sites and Uncharted 2 being 2009 GOTY by most sites). Metacritic wise aswell... The probably biggest reason is also the diversity of the exclusives truly having something for everyone. Adventure, Shooter, Platformer, Simulator, Hack n Slash, Stealth all of them being considerd as amazing games that alone could justify a purchase of the console. The future is also seeming nice with Starhawk, Twisted Metal making a return for all the hardcore PS1-PS2 people, THE LAST GUARDIAN... Oh and awesome collections of the greatest PS2 games...

However..
"especially Germany, France, Italy, Spain"
Gran Turismo brother, Gran Turismo.

 

Also, I think the PS3 people will run their mouth more considering we're hyped for all the exclusives we get. Even those that aren't critically acclaimed (eg: Heavy Rain, InFAMOUS, MAG, Resistance, Motorstorm etc.)

I mean only this year alone, we've had:
InFAMOUS 2, Killzone 3, LBP2, Resistance 3, Motorstorm Apocalypse

While 360 hasn't had ANYTHING aside from a month ago when Gears 3 and now Forza 4 is about to release.

We also still have Uncharted 3 to go and next year, we're already hyping The Last Guardian, Twisted Metal and Starhawk.

 

Basically, we have more to talk about and not just mere speculations as we all know Microsoft tactics are different and they announce things closer to release.

 

Quality and Quantity (if you base it as i do, eg. awards) is in favour of the PS3. It's really hard to deny that.

i cant thank you enough for showing me these hilarious threads



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

*sigh*

Not everyone prefers the 360. I don't. I prefer the Wii and the PS3, as do the vast majority of people I know. It's the same in the rest of Europe as well. People have different tastes.

Get over it. Other posts in this thread say this far better than I.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I can't believe that this thread got serious replies. You should've just let it die people.
