Forums - Gaming - PS3 V XBox 360. What console should you buy?

I want to know what are the main decisions that influenced you in making your choice. Was it games? Friends influenced you in your console choice?  What is the better online gaming experience? How much better does the PS3 and XBox 360 look on HDTV compared to standard TV?

Please give me feedback in this thread that I have created.

really, for me, it's Final Fantasy and non-FPS centric plan.

JRPG + SquareEnix is my thing.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

: Too Human I even expect 3-4 mill entire life and 500,000 first day. GoW2 ( expect 7 - 9 million entire life and over 2 mill first day), Fable 2 (expect 5-6 million entire life and 1.5 mill fist day) BK3 (expect 4 - 5 mill sales entire life and 1 mill first day).. Tales/IU/TLR should get to 2 or 3 million! post id: 868878
Episode 2:
Letsdance: FFXIII (PS3+360) first week in NA = 286K
According to pre-order rate in week 13 (post id: 2902544)

If you want blu-ray, get a PS3. If you're not bothered, a 360.

Simple really.



well....since they had a major title out first and were lots cheaper i went with the xbox


but since Blu Ray has won the format war i will probably talk the wife into getting a Ps3 when they get down below the 300 mark



 

Hi, congrats on (what I assume) is your first thread!

Important question for me, because I'm still undecided. I'm a big Resident Evil fan, so I must buy one of them (and I don't have enough time to have 3 consoles) when RE5 comes out.

Exclusive games is the single most important factor in this decision.

I'm very much leaning towards 360 at this moment, but I'm a big RPG fan, and FF13 seems to become very good.
But like I sad, I'm a very big RPG fan and 360 has the best ones at this moment.

Exclusives per console I want to play:

360:
Blue Dragon
Lost Odyssee
BioShock
Gears of War
Mass Effect
Tales of Vesperia
Fable 2
Alan wake
Splinter Cell: Conviction

PS3
FF13
FF Versus 13
White Knight Chronicles
Eight Days

Looks like a no brainer towards 360, but hey... it's Final Fantasy we're talking about.

  Really? Glad to know...

/endsarcasm

 

PS3 > 360 even without the BR.

Better (non-FPS) games, more reliable, better value for money, no online fees (MS sucks, why can't I play a non-MS game online without having to pay MS???? WTF???)... actually I wonder why would anyone buy a 360 unless you really want to play Halo or Gears of War?

Optimistic predictions for 2008 (Feb 5 2008): Wii = 20M, PS3 = 14M, X360 = 9.5M

 

I heard that XBox 360, every second game is a shooter.
PS3 provides more variety has a lot of games available and some excellent games are on the way.

 Why do you include some shooters on the 360 list and not on the PS3?

 Also, it seems you're not interested in playing MGS4, GT5, LittleBigPlannet or Resistance 2 :(  They should all be great games, totally worth playing. Probably the 4 top games of 2008 ;)

Both. And if you don't, you are an idiot fanboy.



Just kiss the tip.


Like everyone else on this site. So if you are... don't worry, you are with friends ;)
