Your question kicks true gaming on the groing.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I understand what you mean. Your post feels more like an opinion piece based on your tastes that has respect for other consoles and that's great. I just don't understand how you can list so many PS3 games but are stuck to Gears/Halo/Forza for 360.

On 360 I can Play Dark Souls and the Witcher. I can also play L4D and Bayonetta. I can play Skyrim, Halo and the whole Mass Effect trilogy and so on. It's all a matter of taste. Good games and good reasons to own a 360. I don't care for PS3 exclusives except for Demon Souls, LBP and maybe Uncharted. I could get a PC but then how would I play Dark Souls, Bayonetta or Soul Calibur? 360 has them and they're good games.

Anyway, good to know each other tastes... it's late here going to a manifestation tomorrow for school tuition in Montreal.


You're making an argument which highly favors the PC.  Add Halo, Gears and Forza to the list and thats what the 360 majorly has to offer. A lot of Arcade titles on the 360 are coming to Steam. The PC will have Dark Souls soon and the Witcher 1 and 2 are already on it. Scratch shooters from his list. Those games aren't exclusive and when you have a PC vs 360 arguement it generally falls in favor of PC. I have a PS3 and a 360 because I cannot afford to have the PS3/ PC combo right now. My roommate games multiplats and all on his PC with no PS3 or 360. Most people say they dont like PS3 exclusives, but then again...seeing the arcade games many people play, I would dispute that if most PS3 exclusive frachises like Little Big Planet, InFamous, Killzone, Resistance, Wipeout, Uncharted, MLB: The Show, God of War, Heavy Rain, Mod Nation Racers, Team ICO titles and more were multiplat most people would play it. 

As far as games are concerned I like RPG and Action adventure because games (to me) today seem strongest with a compelling story and Sony seems to be very strong at working teams towards a total production. I play everything though.

PS3 for your requested genres.

Though it wouldn't hurt looking into budget PC gaming builds.

If you like action /adventure games in the style of God of War or Devil May Cry, and prefer JRPGs, get a PS3.

How exactly does PS3 have more JRPGs? FFXIII/FFXIII-2 are MP, and so is The Last Story. Demon's Souls is a PS3 exclusive, but the sequel Dark Souls is not. Meaning the only well reviewed JRPG exclusives on PS3 are Disgaea and Valkyrie Chronicles, both are hybrid JRPG/Strategy games.

360 has Lost Odyssey, one of the few traditional JRPG's on consoles, it has Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, and Blue Dragon. Not much, but definatly more traditionally Japansese then PS3's offerings and more games.

 There is probably more than that, but this is all I can remember that is exclusive to PS3. except one with DS.

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, White Knight Chronicles 1-2, Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2, Tales of Graces f, Tales of Xillia.

All those games have metascores of 50-60%, I didn't include The Last Remnant, Magna Carta 2 and other sub-par 360 games, and I see no reason why you should.

Tales of Xillia has no confirmed release date outside of Japan, it could stay exclusive to Japan like the PS3 version of Vesperia did and Graces did for the Wii.

you do know JRPG has been getting low scores across the board right? Like I said there is more, so look them up.

Atelier Rorona, Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland, Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel, Trinity Universe.

 

Tales of Xillia trademark been found for Europe’s trademark database.

It makes me sad when Magna Carta 2 gets considered to be sub par. Its not the best like 80-100 kind of game, but its definitely 70-79. Its actually one of the better JRPGs I have played, much better IMO than Infinite Undiscovery.

Anyway as for the OP, get 360 if you want WRPGs, especially since the Withcher 2 is coming out exclusively for the 360 and its one of the best out there currently. Plus you'll get a few other exclusives like Mass Effect, Fable and all other WRPGs out there. As for JRPGs, I still wouldn't say PS3 is the place to go since 360 does have quite a few decent JRPGs exclusive to it, but it seems PS3 is getting more now. But if its action adventure, then PS3 is definitely better with Uncharted, Infamous, Little Big Planet, etc. It doesn't seem like you are into online play, PS3 is free in that regard. Although 360 is paid, it has arguably the best online service and is the go to place for online games such as COD, Gears, Halo, Forza, etc if you ever get interested.

PS3 if the exclusives it offers tickles your fancy, 360 if you're going to play mostly multiplatform games anyway. The arguments about exclusives flare up in every thread, I wouldn't pay attention much to either sides and just get whatever suits you better financially, as they're practically the same due to extensive 3rd party library.

I disagree...In 2011, PS3 has the lions share of the better multiplatfom games now.



I notice that people forget DEAD SPACE 2 had Extraction free on BLURAY. Mortal Kombat w/ Kratos....Portal 2 with steam & PC/MAC cross play.....LA NOIRE w/ free extra content...and ASSASSIN's CREED w/ free AC1. Oh and BF3 had free 1943 download.



PS3 get most of the free extra content.

there is significantly more nintenfanboys and ps3 fan boys on this website then people who play xbox, so i recommend going somewhere else.

that said, 360, i have all 3 consoles this gen and wii and ps3 combined doesn't compare to the fun i have on 360.

I really don't know any other gaming sites like this one, with forums and charts and all... can you recommend some?!

You are on a bias website where the mojority of players here are Sony fans.  I'd recommend one of two things, do this pole on a different site where it won't turn out so bias or see what kind of games you like better.  XBOX has a better online service and is better for multiplayer because of this, and usually has an edge on multiplatform games as well.  PS3 has more exclusives and bluray.  If you want more singleplayer games like Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid 4, and God of War go with PS3.  If you want better multiplayer games like Gears of War and Halo go XBOX.  Like I said there is more features and XBLA is better, but PS3 has more exclusives.  I'd recommend both, but whatever you do don't listen to this pole unless your sure because the users on this site is bias.  Just look at the games that interest you the most

I know this has already been answered, but the PS3 has the better exclusives in that category. It's also the one which I prefer. So I'd go with that.
