I love my PS3 and my Xbox 360. Sure, I may play my 360 more but that doesn't mean I don't like my PS3. I play shooters more and I like the X360 controller more. I still play my PS3 for fighting games, platformers, PSN games and of course, Blu-Rays. Every console has it's strengths and weaknesses, arguing about it just makes you a moron. BTW, I never go in Gamestop (No offense to anyone who works there, unless you participate in the idiocy) anymore as it seems these 'Fanboy' dorks seem to huddle up in there like the creatures from 'I Am Legend'. Case in point, if you like one system, play it and shutup, we don't want to hear why mommy won't let you get the other one.

I disagree with that statement which I bolded. People should actually care about what system sells more, the exclusives available for each, and the quality of networking. These are determining factors in improving quality content for the superior hardware abilities of the PS3. Example: Had games like Ghostbusters, Assassin's Creed 1& 2, Batman: AA, Mirror's Edge, etc. all been developed specifically for the PS3, I believe that the mechanics, graphics, and overall experience could have been better. Not saying that they weren't enjoyable, but I think they all could have "been more."

The biggest "idiot" arguement that I encounter at the moment is that the Xbox360 has so much more content. I always say, "There may be more content, but all of the best content for Xbox360 is also on PS3 along with Uncharted 1 & 2, MGS4, InFamous, LittleBigPlanet, God Of War III, FFXIII Versus, and many others that offer amazing gaming experiences. Most of the content on Xbox360 is fluff by comparison to the PS3 catalogue."
