Same little part of whole PR article,become 4 different thread
This just beyond stupid,did medias really that hungry for getting hits?


Nope, Microsoft got hungry for hits. A sad and humorous attempt at trying to steal some of the spotlight from the February 20th PlayStation conference.

The interview isn't even main focus about PS meeting,steal what spotlight?

yeah sad and homorous,it's sad and humorous for people find everyway to shit on MS whatever they do,even do nothing



Yeah right. The other words I'm going to use will get me banned.



I don't mind a bit of banter between companies but I dislike arrogance. This seems to me like arrogance.
Pride always go before a fall.

I really hope MS cut out this kind of bragging and just get on with making a decent console.
All this entertainment system talk is annoying me. It takes away from what most people that buy a console want, games.

I already have a smart Samsung Blu-Ray player that does everything a x360 can but play games. Smart TVs can also do online entertainment and even motion sensing. Everything but play complex games. As prices of these TVs tumble they would be in many households. How many entertainment system does one need?

Games dammit, gimme games.

Rant over. back to work.

So...PS3 has more Netflix use, Blu-Ray, 7.1 DTS Master-Audio support. Meanwhile, you have to pay a yearly price just to unlock most of the entertainment features on 360.


So... 360 has Xbox Live Gold Netflix use, DVD and CD, 5.1 DTS Master Audio support. Meanwhile, you have to pay a yearly price just to unlock most of the games features on the PS3.


At least the PS3 has more than 1 game in this year and even NEW IPs!;)
Probably a reason why Microsoft said last year the 360 is more used for "apps" than games.

PS3 > 360 in every aspect.Games,entertainment(lol DvDs?) and PSN+ is the best online service on consoles.
I agree before 2008 the 360 was a lot superior but right now the PS3 is the console to have IF you HAVE to chose.

PS3 is used more for streaming, has built-in Blu-ray and a higher software attach rate.
What is this?


No it doesn't have a higher software rate..

If you are 25 months number 1 in the USA you get this kind of PR.

Yup... and MS doesn't release much exclusive software for Xbox 360 either

What is strange to me is that in terms of new console sales... the Xbox 360 continues to do better than the PS3 (especially in the US)

Maybe it's the "buy america" consumer patriotism, but on a product level... I don't consider the Xbox 360 to be anywhere near as good a value as the PS3.


I've said it a few times before. Everything in the US is a popularity contest. Most of the "gamers" here don't even really care what they play, as long as it's popular. They don't have a real passion for the hobby or what kinds of experience the media of videogames can provide. They just want to do/play what's trendy. Microsoft is much better at advertising so basically people believe what they see. Most of those same people who swear the 360 is better than the PS3 don't even know the difference between a multiplat and an exclusive game. If you'd ask them what they dislike about the PS3, it'll pretty much be "PS3 has no games". Ya know, THAT old arguement that hasn't been true for years and is actually more true for Microsoft at this point.

720 could give you aids when you turn it on and people here will still buy it.



Hey MS how are those HD-DVD's doing for you?
Idiots.



PS3 does what Xbox don't, what is he talking about?



Theyre being quite vocal lately, arent they?

I think theyre pretty even on that front. Both have certain advantages. The problem is this - People buy a videogame console primarily for videogames. Everything else is just an additional bonus...
