I prefer consoles that don't rely on one genre.



Aurally examine my music!

Wear gaudy colours or avoid display. It's all the same.

Be warned, I will use walls of polysyllables and complex clauses as a defence against lucid argument.

Wand to read a creepy thread?

So your NEVER going to jump in some of you? Hell , i HATE sony but even i will eventually buy a 2nd hand ps3 and a bunch of 2nd hand games for it.

Gamer 1st, Sony hater 2nd

By all means dislike microsoft, but to miss out on some of the great games for the 360 is just madness.

Really? Of the top 10 highest scoring 360 games, 7 are shooters.

FPS and TPS are the genres that score best in the American gaming press, that doesn't mean the other games don't exist.

 

Are you saying the 360 doesn't have JRPGs?  WRPGs?  Sandbox?  RTS?  Fighters?  Sports?  Racing?  Music?

And if the netfliXbox doesn't have those genres, which console DOES have them?

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

If you're going by review scores, what sense does it make to look at the top 10 games for every system instead of having a cut off lline based on score? 

Rock Band and Rock Band 2 are "top 10 highest scoring games" on the PS3 but not on the 360, because the 360 has more high-scoring games.  Basically you're punishing the 360 for having a bigger selection of high scoring games.

So you'll consider the Music genre as being represented on the PS3 where there is one game with a 92 score, but not on the 360 where there are three games with a 92 score?

 

360 games with a 88+ score on Metacritic: 31. 

PS3 has 15, Wii has 8, so PSWii has 23 total.

I dont hate the x360, i hate Microsoft in general.

Anyway i think x360 is an ugly console, crap build...looks like a toy

Besides Mass effect and maybe left 4 dead there is no other good game for me on this system....

So i will probably never touch not even its controller.

... says the man who is crazy about LBP... an AO rated game ...

Personnaly, I use my 360 to play game, not decorate my living room or rub my w on it ...

 

Ooop sorry, didn't realized it was a thread for people to throw-up "constructively" on the 360.



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

I have a PC, so why the hell would I even think about getting a X360? X360 has so little exclusives and a far worse lineup than PC, not minding the fact that the vast majority of their games comes out on PC.

PC >>> 360
