With the X360 and PS3 you'll just be twiddling your thumbs.

Real men move their arms to play sports

Wii FTW.

Yeah, because moving your wrist to simulate a soccer player is....realist.



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Oh, and don't forget the Hot Shots Golf series, PS3 exclusive.

Edit: And don't some PS3 sport games take advantage of Sixaxis motion options?

2nd Edit: And how about Tennis...

"PS3 owners get the added bonus of having Rafael Nadal playable in their version. He looks the part and plays just as he should, even if his forehand animation isn't quite on the money. The fact that the PS3 version is the only place to recreate the Federer vs. Nadal matchup is a huge point of contention for tennis fans. Having the second-best player in the world on Sony's system makes that version the one to buy of the current-gen crop."

D'oh! How could I forget about Hot Shots?!



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

PS3:

+ Seven Controllers Supported for some sports games
+ Some games compatible with PSP versions
+Best exclusive Baseball game

+Better Tennis

+Hot Shots Golf

+Some games having motion controlled Sixasis support.

+Use your own choice of a Bluetooth headset.


-Not as many people have headsets online
-Terrible exclusive Basketball game

360:
+ Identical multiplats
+ Plenty of peopl have Headsets over Live
+Exclusive Snowboard game

the wii probably provides the most fun when it comes to sports. Nothing beats actually moving around.

What if you don't have any legs though?

The 360 is better for sports games with its Ergonomic controller. It's basically good efor everything but fighters. After playing sports games on the 360, it just doesn't feel the same on the PS3. I play NBA 2k9 on Live and it's so much better for party gaming. I was talking to someone in an earlier about it. See my post:http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=71489&page=1

Who's talking about realism?

Thumb twiddlers are for children.
