Have you ever played a shooter?


Yes, don´t like the genre in general except Fallout 3 , Half Life and the Metroid Prime series

well you pretty much played 90% of the xbox 360libraries exclusives included :P but the vita lack the games so it's not a really better choice. I recommend saving your money or get a wii U it's a nice console to look at



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

I already have one to look at it



Tough Im in love with my Vita at the moment (absolutely adore it) the 360 has some great exclusives that can be bought for cheap. Add another 100 euros and you can easily get like 10 brand new games from the bargain bin and months of entertainment

But if you are more into JRPGS a Vita should still stay on your to buy list

360 is definitely more useful then a Vita....


On the price alone yes.

Otherwise its subjective and comparing the 2 is pointless. One is a 7 year old console the other is a brand new handheld. Apples to oranges...

You need to look at the exclusives of the system and determine whether you like those kinda games.

Xbox 360 has a ton of quality exclusives though:

Forza series
Fable series
Halo series
Gears series

And then there are quite a few other exclusive games that you might want to look into like Alan Wake, Crackdown, and quite a few xbox live games.

So yeah if you think you going to get into the games and franchises i mentioned above then absolutely get it.

Vita has more resale value, if you look at it that way. Also if you have PS Plus you get a Vita Instant Game Collection. But of course the number 1 question to you should be? Do you care a lot for Halo, Gears or Forza?    Nevermind, you said you don't care for shooters. That settles it, get the Vita.

Na klar lohnt sich das.

Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, Alan Wake, The Witcher 2 (if you haven't played those two on PC), Halo Wars, Fable 2, Fable 3.
(Plus all those Halo/Gears shooters and Forza racers, in case you care about these genres unlike me).

...not at all ... I´m more interested in the games by Daedalic  

oh wow LOL

Well do you like JRPG's?

Yes :D ! Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia both look great on the other hand: Graces F and Xilia+Xilia2 are coming to the PS3... hmmm ...

Well, can you have too much Tales of...?

Plus, if you're really consciencous about cost, think about it this way. Tales of Vesperia is what 30 Euro? Xilla is 50 Euro new right (I'm estimating, I'm from Canada, so I dunno how much games costs). Buy ToV now, wait for Xillia to come down to 30 Euro, and theres 20 Euro you just shaved off the cost of a 360.

Lost Odyssey is by far the best JRPG this gen IMO.

Plus 360 has other gems. Project Sylpheed got terrible reviews, but mostly because it's short. It's a 9/10 JRPG, but it's only 4-5 hours long. Still worth 5-10Euro, for sure.

Infinite Undiscovery also got a lot of ridicule, but it's about as good as Star Ocean.

It really depends though, it's only a handful of quality of exclusives that you're missing out on. I mean you own a Wii, would you have been able to go on fine without XenoBlade, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower? If yes, then that's the experience you'll miss out on with a 360.

Also you said you're not interested in Gears of War and dislike shooters in general, but like Metroid Prime, FallOut and Half-Life. I have a similar taste in shooters as you, those 3 are also among my favorites (except Metroid Prime is my #1 and Gears is #2).

Gears of War 1 is probably the most melancholy shooter I have ever played, and the Gears of War Triple Pack (Gears 1, 2, and DLC) is really cheap here in Canada. It's one of the few post apocolyptic shooters which really give you that feeling of despiration. It's almost as intense as the feeling of being alone in Metroid Prime. It's worth maybe 15 Euro's just to give it a shot.

What exclusives? Halo? The JRPG's have all been ported to the PS3 except blue dragon and Lost odyssey wich are average JRPGs. Vesperia is the only gem in there, and theres a chance it might end up ported to the PS3 aswell.

Theres little to no exclusives worth having.

Vesperia was actually ported to the PS3, but only for Japan



buy a vita-no need to support a dying system.

on the other hand, 99 for 360 is a really good deal.
