I have owned every Nintendo system except the Virtual Boy. MS has the best lineup hands down. So I could be labeled a Nintendo fanboy. Anyone saying different is just biased. Mrstickball is right. The only way I can see someone disliking the 360 lineup is if they are into platformers. If you like RPGs, the Wii and PS3 have zilch as of right now. Sports games run the best on the 360. Shooters, there are more quality titles on 360. Racing games, the 360 wins again. Honestly the strongest part of the PS3's 2007 lineup are either shooters or racing games. Both of which are better on 360.
The Wii's lineup is always brought up by PS3 fans like some sort of defense shield. Wii owners didn't pay $500 to $600 for their system. Not only that, the very same Sony fans that denigrate the Wii lineup were choosing the PS2 over the Dreamcast which had the better software lineup. You can't have it both ways. Just say you like Sony as a company more than Nintendo or MS. Don't try to say its about the games because its not. EDIT: Kber81, bring up multiplatform games does not help the PS3. As its been stated, you can get a 360 with those titles for much cheapr than you could a PS3. It Sony's biggest weakeness. Both MS and Nintendo draw their brand loyalty from the fandom of wholely owned IPs. A great deal of Sony's fans are fans of third party properties. |
Sorry, but hat's not entirely true. I chose Dreamcast over PS2 originally, and it's software lineup was, for me, rather weak. The only things it really had going for it were games like Jet Grind Radio. In fact, aside from that, I can't think of much from DC that I myself liked aside from that. The DC was also absolute garbage when it came to RPGs and disappointing overall. If I had to go back in time, I would probably stick with that decision because, despite it's ugly design, it struck me as the best machine of the generation.
Another thing you're neglecting for some of us is that crappy hardware is absolutely unacceptable. I don't know if this is the case with everyone else, but it certainly is for me. |
For the first line I highlighted:
That may be the case for you, but thats not the case in general. I prefered the Saturn to both the N64 and PS1. Didn't it have a better lineup than either of those systems for the general gaming populace? No, but I personally enjoyed games like Guardian Heroes, Panzer Dragoon 1 & 2, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Burning Rangers, Shining in the Holy Ark, Dragon Force, X-Men Vs. Street Fighter (import), Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter, Vampire Savioer, etc. more than I enjoyed most PS1 and N64 offerings. I enjoyed my Gamecube and X-box more than I enjoyed my PS2 (while it was funtional). That said for most gamers the PS2 had a better software library by the time those two consoles hit the market.
For the second highlighted package:
Yes that was the case with the NES, PS1, and PS2. Neither of those consoles were the most reliable. Yet all of those consoles where able to overcome that because of the games they offered. If it weren't for the 360 warranty situation, I wouldn't be supporting it. My PS2 went crapola and Sony's service was hardly as good. They had to get to sued to acknowledge fault with the system and you still had to pay shipping costs to get your console repaired. Don't get me started on the repair time. You think the 360 situation is bad now, how quickly people forget.
