Technology PS3 more popular than xbox 360

really i think what people fail to realize is that different gamers have different tastes.. which should go without saying, but so many people forget.. i remember when the gaycube was laggingin sales, N fanboys were just rattling off game titles that just so happened to be first party games anyways, in an attempt to show how good their systems were.. .sure, metroid prime, mario sunshine, etc. gained good scores from every magazine and site.. but what i dont fuckin like that shit??
similarly, i stated earlier gears of war, halo 3, forza and several other rpgs that interested me and had me hooked onto the 360... but what if some hates shooters and rpgs and racers?? what if they're more platformer or puzzle games? can i still use those games as examples or reasons to buy a 360?? sure it has a larger quantity of quality games, but if those genres dont appeal to the consumer, why does it matter?? someone that enjoyed platformers and puzzles may enjoy the wii more.. the wii has lots of puzzles ,right?? an attempt to swoon them to a 360 will only make them hate it when they get it and hate it, or buy something else and realize the other was not what they wanted..
think about it.. different systems, different games, different gamers different taste..

exactly.
to me, the wii is something i would only bring out if i were with friends. i wouldn't play it alone, that would be rather boring i think. i tried some shooters and other types of games with it, but the controller is so hard to manage when you're, say, aiming around on the screen. how the fuck do i aim straight at some beast i want to kill when moving my hand a centimeter moves the scope on the screen and i have stress problems that cause me to literally shake a little most of the time?
the playstation 3, i was saving myself for that one. then i played some xbox 360 at a friends house on xbox live and figured fuck it, i'm not waiting, soon as i feel like i can afford it i'm getting a 360. i like most types of games though, so it doesn't matter to me. i'll play mario, halo, gears of war, need for speed, zelda or final fantasy. i find them all enjoyable.

I'm kinda stuck between 360 and ps3, I'll wait how the situation changes, if ps3 will really beat greatly xbox in sales and we'll see more games coming on ps3 (especially Japanese games - that's the main reason for me preffering sony. I own xbox1 now and all those American/European games are too boring and plain). So yeah that's mostly because of games and tech specs and because ps3 is newer - I won't have that though like buying a 3 year old console with worse specs. Price was similar 3 years ago so if I didn't buy it then, I don't want to buy it now when actually it's possibilities are not great any more and I think in 2-3 years they'll stop making games on it.
I was waiting for ps3 for such a long time.. damn.
I don't like shooters like Halo or racing games.
Main reason I plan to buy a next-gen console is GTA4 that comes out next year
and it'll have better graphics on ps3.
Also it'll be on bluray disk so I hope it'll be more advanced.
It would be a huge failure if they'll make exactly the same gta for 360 and ps3 just with basic convertion.
I'll wait how the situation develops, will they finally mod ps3, will they use it's possibilities and how much better it will really be and untill it'll get a bit cheaper. In Poland for 1 ps3 20gig I could buy 2 360's premium modded with 2 pads and 2 games
PS. Note that I do not and will NOT use any online options like Xbox live or ps network. I usually play with friends at home.

^^ well i heard that GTA4 gets extras that the ps3 version wont.. go look it up on gamespot, im almost positive i read that a couple months ago
also, i too dont play online, but i've seen several of my friends both back at home and here in school that have subscriptions to Live... the whole gamertag thing and people posting up their stats... its kinda cool... not something to devote your life to, but its nice.. and im guessing both systems have it, so online play is def. something to consider.. i think a year of Live is 50 bucks.. might have to go check up on that...

I'll buy a modded console so I won't be able to get online anyway.
About GTA I've heard it'll be more advanced on ps3 but 360 version will get expansions instead because they won't be able to fit everything on one dvd ^^
Also I don't trust gamespot as they criticize my favorite games and usually games I totally dislike get 9s and 10s. GTA 1 and GTA 2 got like 6/10 there :O for me those as well as red alert are 3 best games of all time. I spent months playing gta.

I spent months playing gta.i never quite liked gta2. the mood, the scenario, the vehicles, i didn't like it. i loved the first one though. i played that one for months.
red alert was cool, but i started out with command & conquer that came before red alert. that was even better. same engine pretty much, just dos based. c&c: tiberian sun was tight as well, but the third installment sucked. ea really knows how to ruin a game.
i never got to play final fantasy xii (12). did anyone try it? what's it like compared to x? that's where my love for it started. i never played 7, 8 or 9. i don't even want to play 8, it looks too uh.. pink, white, angels, clouds, i don't know. i didn't like the feel of it. i might play the seventh one although it's so huge i don't really think i'll bother to play through it. 9 might be cool though. anyone that played that one, how is it?

Final Fantasy XIII is part of three games being called Fabula Nova Crystallis (that's "The New Tale of The Crystal" to those of us not fluent in Latin), with two of the titles appearing on PS3 and one on mobile phones. The fantasy is far from over!
it will be released in japan some time after march 2008, so in a while. seems like it's gonna be exclusive to the ps3, meaning i have to think about what i said above about buying an xbox, this is brand new information to me. it seems there will be two games. final fantasy 13, and final fantasy 13 versus, as well as a stand-alone final fantasy 13 for handheld consoles.

here's some info on the new battle system. it's comparable to that of XII it sees, but with some new twists and more options. for example, as in previous games you'll have a party, and the way the party members involve themselves in fights is gonna somehow correspond to the roles they play as members of your party in the game. i don't know what it's all about but it sounds interesting.
some info on the plot in xiii:
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/754/754310p1.html
the main character you play, "lightening" (read the plot synopsis for more info)
and last but not least, some trailers. the regular game:
the "versus" version:
they are both cgi, but gives you an idea of the characters you'll be playing and what the games will be about.

Exactly. C&C are my favorite series of all time but with every new game they released it was worse than one before. Westwood studios made dope games, ea fucked them up.
Tiberian sun would be better if it was finished. EA rushed the release date, that's why it's got that unfinished vibe when you play it.
I also loved gta. GTA and C&C series are my favorite and I don't play much any other games these days because I get bored too fast. I always come back to games like San andreas, GTA1, Red alert and C&C (I passed those on "hard" lately)

ah damn.. so i guess the FF series, or atleast the main installments will be ps3 exclusive... that's fine.. do you still waste 500 for one series?? as much as i love FF, i have lived without playing 12 for quite some time... i think when the next gen consoles hit, whenever that may be, the ps3 will be cheap and i can catch up then..
as for modding, i modded my original xbox.. i got it just before the 360 was released, so i knew i wasnt gonna be missing online play that much... if i get a 360, im not gonna mod it.. its 50 bucks for live which isnt expensive either... and i dont go out on both days of the weekend, fri. or sat. so i can dedicate a night just to gaming... right now, one of my jew roommates just has 2 games for his 360... ncaa 08 and halo 2... no live.. so i dont play the 360 that much...

That's what I've been reading somewhere.
Also it's a fact that it'll be better graphics-wise as it'll finally use newer shaders ps3 can use but haven't been done in any game yet.
I don't know why but after reading thru this thread I'm even more keen to buy a ps3 by the end of this year. I was like 50-50 between 360 and PS3 tho I prefer ps3 but thought seriously about 360 because I was a bit scared about PS's future
Please I want more dope ps3 exclusives
-------------------------
I've been searching for new ps3 exclusives and surprisingly there is quite a lot of them and they're mostly Japanese and dope.

old list made in June:
http://news.filefront.com/ps3-exclusives-the-full-list/
I couldn't find a new list but I've seen many new exclusives announced lately including that first game I posted and few more previewed on gamespot.
IMO PS3 exclusives kill 360 exclusives for my preferences.
I played Halo 3 on my pc so I know what I'm saying.

well those exclusives seem to be one japanese and the other was Metal gear?? those links wouldnt load up for, def. a prob on my end of the line..
but like i said before, if those are the games that interest you then go ahead... i cant read japanese and i didnt check why you were after so many japanese games so i assume that you can read japanese...

I've been learning Japanese because I'm planning to go to the Polish-Japanese school but I'm not good in it tho
I like Japanese games, I was raised on Japanese games on super nintendo, then psx and I simply love playing them. Also that Metal gear online looks good.
from euro-american games I like C&C and GTA series only.
The other thing is I'm interested in Japanese culture. I like martial arts etc.
a list of ps3 exclusives:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS3_exclusives
68 mostly legendary titles
vs.
360 exclusives
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_exclusives
67 games..
The only difference is that most of those ps3 exclusives haven't been released yet and are announced to be released on first quarter of 2008, that's why I'm hoping that when they'll be realeased Sony will take the lead
btw. I suggest taking a look at few really interesting PS3 exclusives that could interest everybody here. For example L.A. Noir from Rockstar games.
Also note that Sony bought new exclusive series that were released on all consoles before.

this is what i was talking about.. if it hasnt been released yet, how can you consider it a killer app? it might look good on paper but when it comes out it might not live up to the hype...doesnt mean its not a good game, but trying to predict that an exclusive game will actually be good and then basing your purchasing decision upon that... i dunno man.. it seems a little weak..
i might wait this out a bit too... i was thinking 360 with all the good currents games that i liked.. but i forgot that the ps2 was the best system ever and all the series that were developed by sony will stay exclusive to them... i just saw socom on that list you gave me... then there's the FF series i mentioned before and then the gran turismo.... i dunno..
i made the mistake of getting a ps2 and gaycube months after the came out.. and mean like.. 3 months... the ps2 worked out wonderfully.. however my gaycube... i dont even think about it anymore....

Man Sony bought classic series as their exclusives.. there's no way they will be weak. Also there are many great games that look like they'll be really dope. Main argument against was that Sony had less exclusives, this proves that in 1 quarter 2008 Sony will have more exclusives overall than 360 after more than 3 years.
Sorry for sounding so one-sided now, but to be honest I am not.
I'm still stuck between 360 and PS3 (more keen to PS tho) but I'm really impressed and have high hopes for Sony.
I had super nintendo, psx, gameboy color and now I have xbox so I'm not a fanboy
I even decided to buy xbox instead of ps2.oh i know you're no fanboy.. haha.. im just saying its hard to speculate on games that arent out yet and say that they will be great.. its one thing to have exclusives.. go back to a couple posts of mine with the whole gamecube fanboys that would just list off names of exclusives. but it doesnt mean that they'll be good or if they are good that i will like them.. but you're not promoting the ps3, so i guess its fine..
i would suggest to anyone to wait atleast til next spring to make a decision.. one, there will be a price cut foro ne if not both... then after the holiday season is when the good games have been played through by many people and consumer reviews are out... so we know if those games lived up to the way the the editorials had rated them..
