Forums - Gaming - The PS3 has over half the AAA titles of the Xbox 360.

BTFeather55 on 07 March 2009

Finally, there are at least five more AAA games to add to the PS3's total. Ninja Gaiden Sigma on the PS3 was the original Xbox's Ninja Gaiden perfected while Ninja Gaiden 2 on the 360 was one of 2008's biggest disappointments. In his review of Valkyrie Chronicle in Play Magazine's Play Japan section prior to its release in the US last year, Nick Des Barres said VC was living proof that the heart of the Dreamcast era still beat in Sega's Japanese HQ. VC is AAA. Nick also wrote about Kenshan! in Play's Play Asia section and said that Kenshan! was neck and neck with MGS 4 as the best mature game to be released so far this gen. Furthermore in Play's 2008 Year in Review issue that Kenshan! was the number Japanese game that wasn't released outside of Japan last year. Like VC, Kenshan! is AAA. AAA means game quality. And then we have Yakuza 3. Almost 400,000 units sold in Japan in week 1. The Japanese don't buy that many copies of a game in week 1 unless it is AAA.

BTFeather: Stop making PS3 fans look bad, if you want to help the PS3 you should just support the Xbox 360.



Tease.

While it is true that the 360 has more "AAA" games on Metacritic,I personally have little to no desire to play most of those exclusive games on the listed 360.

Thats essentially the main PS3 fanboy counter to the numbers: "my opinion thinks PS3 library is still better"

While your entitled to your opinion............opinions are also shared by 360 fanboys.

So how do we see whos opinion is more backed up? You check Metacritic for solid numbers.

Fanboys debate based on reviews, not necessarily opinions.

 

I agree with the The-Prophet.

 

Funny though, how certain PS3-360 games share similarities, yet despite this both sides have no interest to play the other (regardless of which one is "better" according to metacritic):

R1, R2 and KZ2 VS Halo 3 and Gears 2

Ninja Gaiden Sigma VS NG2

GT VS Forza

I know you can say that since we've got a our own version of X game on the platform, we don't need to play the opposing consoles game, but wouldn't you want to (as a gamer) play/try the game that's been touted as superior by reviewers? And will you always like the game thats on your chosen platform? (I for one am a mild MS fanboy but I prefer Gran Turismo over Forza)

Sorry to bust your bubble there, Starcraft, but I have conclusively demonstrated while using the best possible source that there are at least 18 AAA games on the PS3, and will be much sooner than 2037 when several more are added to that number.

Hey, Squillam, one question? What were you doing when E-Storm, Postie, and Nick Rox were publishing Gamefan. I suspect little of any real consequence.

I learned the value of the Siege Tank and Sonic Tank.

I suspect they are worth more individually than all of Gamefan's magazines combined.



Tease.

Come on guys, don't feed the Metaslaves :)

They are sad trollish creatures, spending their time playing GRAW instead of GRAW 2 and Geometry Wars retro evolved 2 instead of Uncharted, Fable 2, Ratchet and Clank, and Left4Dead.

They deserve help and love so that one day they can drop their ossession with multiple"A"s :)

The Playstation 3 has reached 11 AAA titles according to Metacritic, over half of the 20 AAA titles the Xbox 360 has.

The news that the Playstation 3 has 55% of the good games the Xbox 360 has has reportedly sent Xbox 360 fanboys into a tailspin, with fears that the Playstation 3 may surpass the Xbox 360 in terms of gaming quality as early as 2037.  Rumours that Sony is planning to extend their 8-10 year plan to a 31 year plan to beat the Xbox 360 in light of the PS3's game quality resurgence have contributed to mass hysteria.  Speaking of mass, it's looking increasingly like Mass Effect 2 may go to the PS3 exclusively, as games developers bow down before the console's epic resurgence in terms of comparitive game quality.

Speaking of Epic, Gears of War 3 being exclusive to the Playstation 3 is now considered a given by industry insiders. Upon hearing the news that they will only possess the dominant current generation game's console for another 28 years, many Xbox 360 owners have taken too intentionally RRoding their consoles and seeking refunds from Microsoft.  Microsoft has refused.  Whilst acknowledging that their situation is dire, they are promising to immediately enact a plan that would maintain the Xbox 360's AAA lead into the 2040's.  They point out that despite PS3 fanboy arguments made in the past, the Xbox 360 has consistently maintained a real-terms AAA lead over the PS3 of around 9 games.  Microsoft is hoping that that psychological barrier will make developers fearful of making AAA games PS3 exclusive despite this extraordinary news.

Whilst most Xbox 360 gamers are contemplating leaving gaming, with some going so far as too plan mass suicides, others have turned to what was formally a PS3 fanboy comfort.

 LOL you gave me a good laff there buddy!

@Werekitten:

None of those games compare to Genji 2! So if you were the AI in AOE 2 I would request that you "cease creating extra villagers".



Tease.

@khuutra, I have noticed that you frequently repond to my posts with questions like "What?" and "Really?" Now, I know that you are working on a degree in English, so this behavior of yours has me a bit concerned and confused. I don't think that my posts are that difficult to follow. It could be that since I am using my PS3 pad to input these posts that I am being a bit less careful in my writing than usual; however, I don't think that your inability to follow is entirely my own. So, I suspect that you may have a slight reading comprehension problem. Perhaps you should get it checked out before you begin teaching so that you don't misdirect your future students in their scholastic endeavors.
