Subject: Why PS3 is actually better than the 360.

This reminds me of an old thread. It was 'Spartan IIs vs. Star Wars Elite Troopers.' In the end it degraded to 'OK, the Troopers would win,' but somebody pointed out the argument had devolved from 'all out battle' to 'All the Spartans without guns standing immobile in a straight line.' Because the Star Wars fans basically said nothing that proves them wrong could be used. It was quite amusing.

You know this to be true.
ALL HAIL GABEN

The only side I take in threads like this is the PC master race side...BUT I would like to point at the PS3 DOES have a more powerful graphics processor and can pump out better looking games than the Xbox 360 or Wii (not WiiU).

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Implying that everyone here has the same taste in games, making PS3 exclusives good. As an owner of both, I don't think I could say half of those exclusives (most of which being focused around their single-player story) are games that can entertain for more than 2 playthroughs. Xbox dominates for the online experience, mainly in shooters, which (IMO) last thousands of times longer.

PS3 and the Xbox 360 are both gaming consoles. Therefore, we compare them on their games and nothing else. Not their security measures, not their online service, not their controllers. But on the their games
Lol. That's quite convenient.

"Hey guys! I made this really sweet car that drives better than any other car on the market! But it has no locks on the door, anybody can start it up without the key, it has no air conditioning, no air bags, no seats, and no windows, BUT IT DRIVES BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHER CARS AND THATS WHAT CARS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO!"

Lol no.
The reason we shouldn't be comparing the online services is because that's how we figured what were good consoles on the market. Sega Dreamcast was good not because of the internet but because of their games, Sonic. Same can be said for N64.

Back when gaming was about games.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

It has its gems but games like Killzone, God of War, and Twisted Metal are just terrible.

I would have absolutely no problem if you made another thread saying "The PS3 has better games than the Xbox 360". The problem I have is that you are saying "The PS3 is a better console than the Xbox 360 because it has better games and you aren't allowed to factor in anything else."

The need to dictate the terms of engagement in a way that proves your conclusion seems rather silly, especially since "The PS3 has better games than the Xbox 360" is definitely a reasonable conversation that could be had without having to implement a rule system for people replying.

Do you see?

XBL doesn't use servers. I find, and this is my theory, when people are saying "Well XBL is such a better service" what they really mean is "Halo online works fantastic (and that's true) and some PSN game I might have played (more likely just heard about) didn't rival Halo's online experience therefore XBL is better."

Now I can flip this and say look at the issues Gears multiplayer had and how smooth Uncharted's was. Now PSN looks better.

The statement "XBL is better than PSN" is a pretty iffy statement in 2012. And that's not factoring in XBL's cost.

Why add in other factors? I thought the point of these things were to play games? And the other in my opinion has better games.

Not any more. Sega Genesis and N64s were designed as pure gaming consoles, but the modern console like the 360, PS3 or Wii U are no longer pure gaming consoles.

For instance I use my 360 for gaming, watching movies, listening to music, watching youtube, and I could even hook up my cable to it and run it through the console. Or Netflix. Or any number of other types of things. Microsoft are actually trying to push the 360 as a set-top box that replaces your cable box or apple tv or whatever as your all-in-one media center.

Personally I think the 360 is a great console, and I think the PS3 is a great console. Why even try and argue which is better?

Though the morrow may be barren of promises, nothing shall forstall my return.

Ok, if you are going exclusive route how about metro 2033, mass effect 1 standalone, the entirety of xbl arcade, and alan wake. Just to name a few.

Does it? The apps you see like Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu are on PS3 (they're standard with all multimedia devices these days) and you're not being charged to access them.

Is a so called service where you have to pay Microsoft for the "privilege" to pay Netflix the superior service?

The first Mass Effect is on PS3 now. People will say Alan Wake and Metro are on PC but if this is a 360/PS3 comparison I'd say they're relevant. ME's not though.
