They know that the XBox 360's life cycle has already reached its climax and is going downhill now!

I would agree that the 360 has lost most of its luster while the PS3 is in the upswing. With the huge PS3 game exclusives coming soon and Blu-ray's victory, the PS3 is poised to emerge as the winner of the console war.

I heard of some people preordering MGS4 upto almost a year ago. Besides it's only bout 2 months away so thats not too early.

[Kai200X]

I don't mean there's anything wrong with that. I must secure a copy of MGS 4 myself. It's just my local store won't accept pre-order unless it's less than a month away. Anyway, I can't wait to play MGS 4 on PS3

The PS3 is the best console ever made!!!!!!!!!

Lets compare..I'll make it easy to understand for all the idiots out there.

Lets start with Xbox 360
Ok...Xbox live..Thats the only thing left that the system has going for it..None of the titles on xbox would be good at all without Xbox live...Who could play gears of war without online over and over...That pretty much would suck....

And the infamous RED RING OF DEATH...they still havent fixed it..And they wont because they dont have to there rich and you still will buy it....

Poor little HD dvd add on...I thought it was a joke to begin with...Even the original xbox needed a add on for a dvd player...Cmon...this is too easy...

Bottom line is..the xbox 360 has finally been outdated and is old news which was predicted that the ps3 would just start taking off and the xbox 360 wouldnt last.....

Now onto the wii....Ok...the graphics can be compared to a early Playstation 1 game....The online sucks....You cant even watch a dvd on the thing...and after a couple hours you realize how big of a idiot you look like standing in front of the tv swinging a remote and eventually throwing it thru the screen of your tv unless you have the wrist strap on like every game instructs you to...LOL....

Seriously did nintendo just throw there hands up and say...Who cares when they made this piece of junk???
They shouldve just rebuilt the NES make it glossy black and have wi fi and put it back on the market...Have fun playing...paper mario...mario galaxy...mario tennis...mario basketball...mario hockey...mario fishing....Just put mario in front of anything you can think of and they will make it a game....The best thing is the wii has a low failure rate...


Ok now on to the CHAMPION...PS3

Ok you got Wi fi...you can watch blu rays...you can upscale your standard DVDS....you can be online on your tv...You can post on this website from your tv.....You can put your digital pictures on it..You can have the latest blu ray technology thru online updates....THE ONLINE IS FREE....
And theres games for the ps3 that you dont need online play to enjoy like

Uncharted...ratchet and clank....motorstorm..resistance...all of those and some have online but you dont need it to enjoy these titles....
And the ps3 has a low failure rate...
How could you go wrong...In the beginning it was close...But now after all this...Buying a xbox 360 would be kinda IDIOTIC in my opinion...The ps3 goes well with a Nice set up like a big hdtv and a surround sound...oooo yess..
I feel sorry for people with wiis and xbox 360s only...There missing out on the magic...

If you want a Blu-ray player right now, then you buy a PS3. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I bought my PS3 solely for it's BD capabilities and the ability to act as a media hub so I can watch HD downloads on my 46" Sammy. I have one game that I played maybe twice. The rest of my games are all on the Xbox 360. While the PS3 excels for BD and multimedia, it falls flat for gaming. Just look at those pathetic game sales for proof of that.

US Week Ending 01st March 2008
Wii: 218,189 (+176%)
Xbox 360: 102,622 (+17%)
PS3: 89,585 (-5%)


Worldwide, the PS3 was 2nd
Ending 29th February 2008
Wii: 375,643
PS3: 179,416
Xbox 360: 152,619

Actually, VGChartz should NEVER be taken seriously. It is a estimate that is OFTEN wrong. Even HMM employees have warned against depending on it. I believe only the software sales in the US are accurate (if that).

If people understand the 360 has a higher rate of failing...whatever floats their boat. I just think the people who buy the 360 vs. PS3 are two different consumer types....dumb and smart Sorry...just had to fit in with the thread

The PS3 is going to be the center for all my entertainment needs...I box vs. more on the shelf is much better for me.

I said good day...

I think it's in response of all the mud and false information that has been thrown from the MS and their 360 fans. Now, it's time for I told you so(s) and other forms of ridicule. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

I know. Are they forgetting that the PS3 ACTUALLY has shortages? The 80GB PS3s have been unavailable for some time now in B&M stores.

XBOX 360 was good when it first came out and gears of war first came out..Only because of Online play....Then halo 3 came out...And it went downhill from there...Without the online play xbox 360 is worthless
The hd dvd add on is worthless now...and what about the people that will have red ring of death right before GTA 4 comes out????

You could have the best games in the world...But with no system to play it on whats it worth????

I have heard of people getting the red ring like 5 or 6 times and keep sending it in...Everyone i know that has a xbox 360 has had the problem at least one time...

Cmon...the original nintendo was more reliable...I have it in the garage and it still works...all of playstations products work...360 is the only console that consistantly dies EVER.

PS3 is great as long as you aren't wanting to play your games online, PS3 online gaming is horrible. It's too bad that when new games are coming out with online capability I have to buy on the 360 to enjoy them (I'll pay the $50 a year for live, It's better than not accessing messages or friends while in games and not being able to connect to a room for 10 mins). Only thing PS3 has on the others is the Blu-Ray, give the man a raise who decided on Blu-Ray

[PS3-Playb3yond]

PS3 surpasses the Wii.

Wow, feel the wrath of the PS3, Wii.

[bhuyanp]

Someone said PS3 does not have good games. How ignorant some people are.

What absolute Horse****. I play online with the 360 and the PS3, and the PS3 has a WAY better online connection for gaming. Every single game on the 360 is hosted by users, the PS3 usually has dedicated servers that blow away Live by a MILE. Not to mention that when it comes down to just plain gaming online, PS3 is exactly the same as Live other then the friends list integration, voice chat, etc. Its the little things that only hardcore gamers give a crap about. Most people just want to jump online and play against someone else, which the PS3 does beautifully.

You also have 10 years olds on live calling you racial slurs, cussing till there is no tomorrow, and in fact, i was playing Street Fighter 2 online with the 360, and the guy i was playing sat there and rapped the ENTIRE flippin game. I had to take my headset off because it was so absolutely retarded. Also, the main things that live has that the PS3 does not (the in game messaging, voice chat) are all coming to the PS3, and FOR FREE. If anyone asked me which system to get from now on, its a NO brainer, PS3 is the best next gen system in every way at this point.

p.s. - My live ran out and i just bought a 12+1 month card, so its not like i dont know what playing online with the 360 is like, ive been playing 360 online since early 06.

Huh? What are you smoking? Other than one EA title like NHL 08, online play works perfect. COD4? Resistance? Orange Box? Hello! McFly!

[32Hollywood16]

Warhawk is the only game I have played on PS3 that allows you to play without waiting five or more mins to find a match, if it finds a match at all. Rainbow six Vegas 2 on PS3 is by far the worst game I have tried playing online.. I own Call of Duty 4 for both the 360 and the PS3 and the wait time on PS3 is almost double and most of the time Team Deathmatch won't even connect, I have to switch to a different game type to even play. The Downloading of demos, games and movies is also slower on PS3. But I do agree I get sick of the people talking smack online but a quick trip to the settings and they bother me no more.. but overall yes the Online is superior on Xbox only thing Ps3 has going for its online is that it's free.

I know, i dont know what the he's talking about. think! mcFly! think!

[Sith]

Maybe it's just me, but i think all 3 systems are actually doing really well....
The wii has surpassed anything anyone could of thought it would do....
My 360 is very nice for online games....And will have Ninja Gaiden and Gears
this year...
And the ps3 is starting to show that overall it is by far the best system...

[hardcore_canadian]

I know most people think that the whole shortages thing is BS, but the I still believe the Wii still actually have some shortages
