Your very biased towards the Xbox 360, really pathetic how you 360 fanboys keep begging for MGS4, Im telling you, it will never touch the Xbox 360. After MGS2's massive flop on the Xbox, you expect MGS4 to head to the Xbox?

Remember Metal gear solid 3 never went to Xbox, also its funny how you say only 3 games on the PS3 are must haves. There are games like God of war 3, Resistance 2, Little big planet, and even killzone 2 that have generated hype beyond your only Halo, and gears of war.

The Xbox 360's only good exclusives(as in only on the XBOX 360) are halo, and thats it, the rest are on PC.

THats the problem with the Xbox 360, all the AAA titles are on PC.

Thankyou for your valued contribution to the thread.  I was about to ask a mod to sticky this, but I can see its just going to go down in fanboy flames.

The thrust of my argument was that the 360 is doing excellently without games like MGS4, but I said many times that if people simply must have an old Sony exclusive, then they shouldn't buy a PS3.

Thanks leo. 


Well thats what you are asking for when you stated that MGS4 will head to the Xbox 360 in a year or so.

Not my fault you messed up with your post and directed it mostly to the sony fans than to people that actually want a 360 by saying its heaps better than the PS3.

Good read, I just wanted to add two points

#1 Crackdown is a good exclusive, Saints Row not so much.. I thought SR went to the PS3 anyways?

#2 MS won't release a Blu Ray player on the 360, it doesn't make sense for them. MS and Sony are competing, so why would MS pay Sony royalties for using a device that makes the PS3 look like a better deal? People will compare the PS3 to a 360 + a Blu Ray add on. It's a lose-lose situation. MS will keep pushing digital downloads on the 360.

I can't believe that you are calling that game excellent.

The game was a good game, but nothing more. And the 2 million people bought it because nothign was really out for the 360 when this game came out. It's like Dead Rising. An excellent game, but if it had came out recently, it'd be lost in all the really good game that are out.

So its like dead rising, which you call excellent, but its not excellent?

Dont let Stickball or Rocketpig catch you knocking Dead Rising.  I've had a 360 for like 18 months and I still haven't played that game.

"If you are fully aware of the 360's gaming climate and still decided you didn't want one, this thread is not for you."

I´d be in that group,but for people who are on the fence,it´s well written and a good read.

Firstly, I said that MGS will PROBABLY turn up, but that is largely irrelevant to my post.  However, to appease you, I will remove that line.

Secondly, I said (and stand by) that the 360 has a better games library and comparable games line-up than the PS3, something anyone would struggle to deny.  I gave the PS3 it's due in areas like Blu-Ray.

There are more people in this thread in that category, but they failed to conduct themselves with your maturity and charisma.  Thankyou.  We need more people like you on VGChartz.

To all: please do not turn this into a fanboy argument. Even if it's missing a few games or talked about a few games it shouldn't have, it's a well written opinion.   I don't want to see any arguments while the PS3 or Wii really wins whatever catagory.

If you don't like it, provide arguments relevant to the thread or make your own Why you should want a x system. Don't bring other things into the topic please.

Kidding me!

I love Dead Rising.  I just don't think it would have sold 1 mil if it wasn't out when there were so little games to play on 360 [Summer 06].  If that game had came out This past winter, it would have Haze syndrome, which is forgotten in the fray.

But yeah, I LOVE Dead Rising.  It's an awesome game, I actually just started playing it again.

 



JRPG :
LO/ES/BD average RPG only, really nothing amazing according to reviewer, but Xbox360 still WINs becasue PS3 has nothing except Folklore.

Shooters :
CoD4 is multiplateform, Halo3 belows to past but Gear of war is The Xbox360 exclusive without any doubt. GoW2 should be very good too.
BUT
PS3 has Unchartred/Haze/KZ2/Resistance/(MGS4?) and I doubt they will all bomb : DRAW

WRPG :
the Xbox360 WINs, Fable2+ME

RACERs :
GT5p+Motorstorm2 > Forza2, PS3 WINs

Plateform :
hum, Ratchet is good and we know nothing about Banjo/Kazooie ...DRAW ?

GTAIV : multiplateform game ...

At the end, the best plateform for RPG is the Xbox360, while the best plateform for Racer is the PS3

U add the RRoD for the Xbox360 (what a nice exclusive), 50$ online to pay,

U add Wiifi, freeonline, BR player and MGS4+FFXIII for the PS3,

and u know which console u have to buy ...

EDIT : actually, LBP+Rachet = PS3 WINs plateform category.



Time to Work !

I've never played it either. Well, I know what my next purchase is.
