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.
It's not nearly as simple as you are making it out to be, and to try to force others to play by your belief system is a lot more silly and difficult than simply building the thread to exclusively compare the games of the two consoles.

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

Exclusives don't count for console quality

Also, PC master race.

I'm going to invent a gaming console with no controllers, online services, apps, or motion sensor devices - literally nothing. It's going to be better than all the current consoles on the market because it's going to have awesome GAMES!

I used to be indecisive, but now i'm not sure.

I prefer xbox, i have both a ps3 and the 360 and ive never had as much problems with a console as ive had with my ps3. It has broken on me so many times. Not one problem with my xbox, whereas ive probably put as much into fixing my ps3 as it cost me when i bought it.

And the ps3 exclusives really do not appeal to me.

Really?
Well I have had the exact opposite experience.
You see I received my first Xbox 360 in the year 2006, I got the red ring of death not too long afterwards.
I left the machine dormant for a while and discovered that it miraculously worked again!
So I went out and got my Halo 3 legendary edition.
A week later the red ring returned with a vengeance and destroyed my beautiful Halo 3 disk.

I gave up hope and went out and replaced it with a PS3 where I discovered my new favorite game, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune.
The bright and vibrant color palette and platforming just appealed to me.

Since then I have gotten a new Xbox, less than a year after I had bought it my disk tray stopped responding.

All this without even mentioning that scam which is Live.
I see plenty of people in this thread claiming that the Marketplace is superior on the Xbox 360 and yet the horrible layout makes it mighty hard for me to find a specific game.
So I prefer the PS3's simple aesthetic.

Microsoft points make it very hard to buy stuff sometimes.
You can't simply pay the correct amount with arcade games, sometimes you have to buy 1600 MSP and then another 500 for a game that is say 1700.

Doesn't matter! It's going to have the best games so it's automatically better than any game console out there!

Nope.
You can buy gift cards for PSN however.
If you use your credit card you pay in cash.

The quality looks fairly consistent.
Even though you may not enjoy the genres or style you cannot deny the PS3 has a fairly reasonable amount of quility exclusives.

Does this prove the PS3 is the better console?
Of course not.

The main problem is that most multiplaform games are simply ported to the PS3 and they're usually ported with a pretty rushed and unpolished job.
This is why you see games like Skyrim running pretty poorly on the PS3, not because it cannot handle the awesomeness of Skyrim.
As for the safety of your wallet I assure you that was a one off hack, but you should still be careful with what information you keep stored on your console, this goes for the Xbox as well.

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

If you really believe that, then you're doing it wrong.

I have both. I'm actually just about to play my PS3. However, it's still inferior to the Xbox.

And if you still think the Xbox is better, why?
Even though many people will disagree, but I prefer Microsoft's service.

If you're bluntly comparing consoles by the games, I believe we can add in party chat.
Party chat is not a factor either.

If you had no online service, which would you buy? A PS3 or 360?


In the internet age why would you not consider which console had a better online service? The PS2 days are gone. Plenty of gaming pretty much requires internet nowadays.

This thread in a nutshell.
I'm not ignoring everything the 360 does. But when it comes to it, they are both gaming consoles, and one of them doesn't have any games. Thus, the clear winner is PS3.

What? You listed Xbox games in the OP, but now you're saying that the Xbox doesn't have games at all?

You need to take a moment to sort out your thoughts.
