Absolutely! Is the very reason I haven't upgrade yet. But that will defiantly change this year...

Nope its the 360 since its supports external HDD so its much easier to upgrade the HDD and transfer files it also has a much lager overall library of games and Games with Gold is actually still pretty good while PSN+ on the PS3 side has been pretty terrible for a long time now. The 360 also has a better UI and overall it just a lot easier to use once you download a game you don't have to install it achievements automatically go to your gamertag (no need to sync trophies). Plus the 360 controller is vastly superior to the dualshock 3.

Only if the person likes Playstation. If they were a Nintendo gamer, they wouldn't agree. A platform is only as valuable as the person's tastes dictate.

I actually take issue with this statement. Demon's Souls, TLOU, , LBP, Resistance, Killzone, Uncharted, and MGS4 are objectively great games.

You don't have to be a "Playstation Gamer" to like them.

How are they 'objectively great'? There's no such thing.

I never liked LBP, Resistance or MGS4. Are you trying to say that I'm wrong and actually did like them? In that case you're the one who's wrong. I'm pretty sure I know better than you do what I liked and what I didn't.

Those were just examples, there are plenty more. If you didn't like them though it wasnt because they "Playstation Games", it's because you just have questionable taste :P.

Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

Nope, not as long as PCs exist.

so you can buy a PC for less than 200 bucks which can do the same?

everything you are saying i am thinking its the reverse

-suprior controller? Not for me it has rounded buttons which are hurting my fingers and the Dpad is awfull. I also dont like the huge triggers

-i much rather prefer changing my hardrive myself and built in a 2TB which is more than enough, Xbox doesnt allow you it without losing your warranty. And i have heard it can also break your console if the HD isnt recognized.

- Gold and PS+ are the same, but it doesnt change the fact that PS3 online is for free. With the 360 its not.

- can your 360 play all PS1 games? no it cant, thats over 3000 games less for 360. The OG Xbox emulation performs terrible and only a handfull of titles are supported by the way

- 360 cant play blue rays

- 360 is region locked so thats even more Games your PS3 will be able to play over 360.
