Minecraft, among others like it = Multiplats, not on PS.

A Xbox gamer would however, treat it like an actual exclusive

I'm a PS3 user and played Minecraft... what kind of magic I did?

on a PC......PS3 alone can't do what 360 can do...so you "go get some help". :P



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

More like 360 > PS3. True since it does have more 70-79, 80-89, and 90+ metacritic games, by significant margins I might add

So essentially it becomes 360 < PS3 + PC.Try to keep it Xbox vs PS......most can't.

No.

It was always PC + PS3 > PC + 360.

Now if you want compare real exclusives then PS3 > 360.

Win win unless you want to play Gears, Halo or Forza... so you can buy a 360 and it is cool for that.

Now you understand... 360 need some help but there are none... PC and 360 didn't make a good team after all... you have more games to choice on PS3.

"It was always". Very interesting. Proof that we live in a PS world and play by your arbitrary rules.

Call me crazy, but I like to keep it to Xbox vs PS. No outside influences, no using PC as a MASSIVE crutch to stand on. Just mono a mono. But that would mean PS would loose. God forbid. So sure, include PCs. I, and as should every Xbox fan, will not.

I think a game on multiple platforms is a multiplat.

Entire libraries should be compared, but its the real, true exclusive titles like StarCraft 2, Super Mario Galaxy, Halo 3 and Gran Turismo 5 that define said platforms. Its the exclusives that differentiate your platform from other platforms.

If your "exclusives" are on another platform, theyre meaningless in a discussion about exclusive titles.

360 is just fine.....more 70-79, 80-89, 90+ meta games then PS3. Thats a fact. 360 can stand up by itself.

You basically showed me that PS needs a PC to be competitive, even with its own exclusives.

So you're saying Jim died in vain?  I know dozens and dozens of people that game on consoles.  Every girl I've dated in the past few months has had a Wii and some crazy fitness game.  I probably know two people that game on a PC and I've never seen someone actually do it in person.  Yeah, there are a lot of PC gamers in the world but the pale in comparsion to the actual console gamer that will spend money on the newest iteration of Grand Theft Auto.  Don't belive me?  Wait for the sales figure on the next big multi-plat title.  Even if the PC version is highly superior, console sales will eat it alive.

You didn't understand... you have the choice... you can buy a 360 and you will be happy with that.

But the fact if you buy a PS3 you have more games to play because you can play most of 360 games on PC but you can't play most of PS3 games on PC.

Buying a 360 for Dead Rising and The Witcher 2? There are far more interesting games on the 360 Jim! XDD


You're laughing while Jim is dead?  You are so heartless!

And I don't know why people are coming in here commenting about "exclusives" being available on the PC.  That's not what Jim died for at all!  I'm not saying the "360 is a magical console because you can play most of its exclusives elsewhere!"  I'm saying COUNT EVERYTHING.  Count the entire PS3 library vs the entire Xbox 360 Library!  That's the only way to compare CONSOLE vs CONSOLE without any bias.  Exclusive, consle exclusive (which doesn't really make sense, I admit), multi-plat, casual, Move/Kinect, digiital download--if it's a game then IT IS A GAME.  Count it!
