Yeah..... outselling them by a few million units despite having a year's advantage... you're right.... it's destroying the Ps3.

Meanwhile Nintendo has sold almost twice the # of Wiis as your cute little Xbox. There are 1/3rd as many WoW players as 360 OWNERS, and I'm guessing the number of Steam users is probably approaching or greater than the number of 360 owners as well.

So far, the 360 has sold slightly 6,000,000 more than the original Xbox, which was considered by most accounts a dismal failure. The 360 has sold ~30,000,000 units. The Playstation 2 sold 128,000,000. And what's the next must have exclusive game for the 360? Is there one?

But don't let little things like facts get in the way of your superiority complex.

Why don't all of you just get a good PC with a sick graphics card??? So many more bomb-ass games(especially turn-based strategy). I've even got NBA 2K9 for my PC and the graphics blow anything on a tired-ass console out of the water(granted you need an excellent monitor and the aforementioned graphics card).My card is a GTX-285 over-clocked. Processor is core I-7 w/ 4 gigs RAM. All your little consoles have nothing on any of that(cept' price) and I can get most games for free unless I want multiplayer or I like the developer. That quickly brings the price comparison back into play. Bottom line...All consoles are WACK!

I don't understand how people can seriously game on the ps3. I had one and was so happy once I got it out of my hands. It was great for the Internet and people who had blu-ray(I was too cheap) The online was just so terrible. By the time they fixed the in game XMB, I already had a 360 and started buying games on it.

[PM5K]

It's an alright system, but if you already have a 360 there's almost no reason to own one, maybe borrow one or something.

If you don't have anything it's not a bad system by any means. I was also too cheap to buy Blu-Rays since I already had my 360 with a 750GB media drive.

After I sold my PS3 I bought a laptop with Blu-Ray so I'm not missing the PS3 at all.

In fact, I have commented, at length, in multiple threads in The Geek Zone detailing the pros and cons of each system, and how they both are pretty excellent gaming machines in their own right. However, when 360 fans decide to attack the Ps3, sure I'm going to troll them. Their reactions are hilarious.

The PS3 life cycle is probably going to be just a bit longer than whatever the 360's life cycle is.

[jman3000]

PS3 probably has another 4-5 years... maybe longer if it actually catches on.

Xbox is probably going to roll out another console within 2 years. It'll most likely be completely integrated and gamertags will carry over... there'd be a huge backlash if achievement points were reset. So it'd be more like an Xbox 2.5 than a completely new system.

I have to disagree with this, the cell chip has so much unlocked power and potential that Sony will try to get as much out of it as possible. Xbox probably has another 2 years because they're going to start maxing out the power sometime soon.

Also, I think Sony is too proud to say ok we've lost this generation lets release the PS4. Not to mention Blu Ray is still attractive for those who want to take advantage of it.

the problem with using your hands and body to control game characters is the majority of gamers relax while gaming, even if its intense combat or something. I don 't want to actually run around the corner, if I did I'd be at the gym. The aiming will always be hard to pull off as well.

A ~5% failure rate vs. a 66%-80% failure rate means that the Ps3 DOES have better hardware.

xbox 360 has been out for how many years? not to mention the the speed of which modern technology develops, this shit shouldve been taken care of a year after the problems started but 54%? all that time and its still 54%?

why isn't there more outcry from the consumer?

all i hear is "lulz im on my 3rd 360" "im going to buy a 2nd one next month" are you serious? you bought a whole new 360, no discount or reparation from a company that knew it sold you a product with a 50% failure rate, is doing little to rectify the situation and you still handed a wad of fucking cash to them?

I suppose I'm a fanboy. I'm a fanboy of hardware that actually WORKS. If that gets me labeled a fanboy, so be it. I think the 360 is a great system that has matured fantastically in every way possible -- online, better features on the system itself, etc. -- except for the damn hardware defects. It is just infuriating to me that 360 gamers continue to take it on the chin and even defend the 360 against it's single (albeit massive) flaw.

If the 360 didn't have such a preponderance to fail, I would own one. You can spin that an call me a fanboy any way you want, but where is your response when the 360 people on this site say, "lol Ps3"?

Well WTF are we supposed to do? Storm the MS campus with pitchforks? I mean shit, nobody defends that shit, nobody, but at the end of the day it's not that big of an inconvenience to buy the insurance or lose your system for about 14 days every two years. I don't defend the red ring, but I damn sure look at it in context.

If the PS3 wanted me (and they had a damn good chance) they should have done something to make their system more valuable than the one that breaks all the time. But between the abscess of developer support, the formerly expensive price and the shitty online componentry/smaller community, I feel perfectly valid in my choice of the 360.

The red ring is a massive technical flaw, but in a lot of ways it's a flaw that's far less destructive to my gaming experience than I believe the PS3's non-hardware related problems would be. And that's fine.

FWIW, it's pretty damn fanboy to start a thread with a pic of a broken 360. Just sayin' for someone who doesn't own one, that's not really a congenial move.

[Cry Havoc]

I don't understand how the perceptions of other people makes me a fanboy. Either I am or I'm not. If five Lakers fans calls me a Spurs homer, does that mean it's true? I'd say it's a highly subjective audience, and therefore they aren't exactly fit to say that.

There is such a thing as a class action lawsuit. So far, there have been lawsuits, but none aimed directly at the RRoD proper (at least, none that have been massive successes).

Gamers should demand better, instead of subscribing to cognitive dissonance and using their insecurity about the hardware failure as a reason to criticize the Ps3.

But between the abscess of developer support, the formerly expensive price and the shitty online componentry/smaller community, I feel perfectly valid in my choice of the 360.

I feel the same way about the 360. In fact, when I traded my Wii off (after realizing Nintendo wasn't going to do anything about the 3rd party games being a load of poo) I had a choice between a 360 and a Ps3. I felt pretty torn about it, and several times since I have been pretty close to buying a 360 -- but I just can't justify it based on the reports I've heard from friends. I have one person I know who's nearing double digits in RRoD's. Even with the free returns, that's at least 14 weeks (3.5 months!) without a working 360. And that just sucks.

As far as the price, for a (launch) system featuring a big hard drive, blu-ray, wifi, and backwards compatibility, it was a pretty amazing list of features, especially considering the price of other blu-ray players at the time. A similarly speced 360 back in the day actually cost more than the Ps3.

The online thing is a completely valid point, but I do most of my multiplayer gaming on PC, which I feel is still far better than either console (and free). I can see where you're coming from there, though.


The red ring is a massive technical flaw, but in a lot of ways it's a flaw that's far less destructive to my gaming experience than I believe the PS3's non-hardware related problems would be. And that's fine.

We just disagree here. I don't think that makes either of us fanboys. There is a difference between supporting a system and being completely blind to the alternatives.

:rolleyes Oh lighten up. It was a joke. If someone had posted the exact same pic with a Ps3 instead of a 360, I would have been humored by it (that is, until all the 360 fanboys starting coming in and leaving steaming piles of feces that they call posts about how horrible the Ps3 is). I didn't know The Geek Zone had to be all SRS 100% of the time.

I have to agree with the idea that I'd rather have a console that might not work 100% of the time but still gives me a great gaming experience the rest of the time. Certainly a lot of people agree with that notion as the survey indicates. It's not that often that you see people saying they are going to get a PS3 because their 360 failed, they'll even resort to wrapping their console in towels or wait two weeks rather than get a PS3.

If they had to shell out $300 every time their 360 failed, do you think that more people would be buying Ps3s today? I'm pretty sure they would. 360 users get another 360 because it's free and relatively convenient as opposed to buying a new console and all new games.

You know, I honestly don't see why the fuck you're whining about this. I have had FOUR xbox 360s, including an e74 error the second time I used my very first one. I absolutely, positively know what this bullshit is about, and guess what? You don't, and probably never will. So STFU, enjoy your PS3/PC, and let 360 owners be.

I've heard of a lot of people that sell their RROD 360's to Gamestop for 60-80 bucks so that they can use the money to buy a newer Jasper 360.

That really says a lot I think.

Wow, do you really have to pick a fight with me everywhere you go? And you accuse me of being butthurt. :lol

FWIW, Ps3 owners aren't the ones coming into dedicated Ps3 threads and making idiotic derogatory remarks.

I have to agree with the idea that I'd rather have a console that might not work 100% of the time but still gives me a great gaming experience the rest of the time. Certainly a lot of people agree with that notion as the survey indicates. It's not that often that you see people saying they are going to get a PS3 because their 360 failed, they'll even resort to wrapping their console in towels or wait two weeks rather than get a PS3.

That is border line lab rat stupid, masochistic really.

What all of you dont get is what is making the xbox outsell the ps3 is PRICE.
Price is what made nintendo the leader
The 600 dollar price tag is what killed the ps3 launch
price is the driving force of all this shit.

when other systems were 400 and 600 bucks at launch nintendo was 250, and bam they took the lead

guess what happened when the ps3 got a few good games dropped 100 last 07 and early 08 .... the PS3 started beating the xbox

guess what what happened when the xbox introduced the 199 arcade model during the holiday season....it beat the ps3

When a mom is going to a store to buy her little shit a present she doesnt care about rrod, ylod, 720v1080, cell processor, wi fi, exclusives, live, hard drive space, blah blah blah. She just does basic math 200 is half of 400, and so she buy the xbox. The mom does know live has a membership fee, no wifi, the mom doesn't know what BC is, or that the ps3 doesnt come with a HDMI cable.

Since the introduction of the 199.99 xbox over half of all xbox sales are of that SKU (and if you dont know what SKU is just GTFO)

You people argue about the insignificant factors and nonsense, the so called "gaming experience" is a placebo implanted in your head, the days you decided to choose a side in the fanboy wars.

There is so much obvious shit that is right in front of your faces that none of you realize. Arguing points like the ps3 has no games is in fact wrong, no matter how loud you say it you aren't right. and when regarding the quality of games you cant be right about things that are subjective in nature

I suggest before you make proclamations about anything you do get some facts to back you up, not the shit talk and posturing

I bet half of you bought "Monster Cables" while at best buy, buying your consoles.

What the fuck ever. [turns Shadow Complex back on]

[Dinamita]

IDK if you guys know this but ps3 is having a price cut this month $299. And they're releasing a ps3 slim. Rumored to be out Sept. 1.
Called it. :downspin:

[eyeh8u]

What the fuck ever. [turns Shadow Complex back on]

isn't that releasing tomorrow?

[PM5K]

I'll have to disagree, many 360 gamers are teens and young adults, and even the kids that push their parents to buy consoles for them know a lot more than you think, ask my 11 year old.....

If the PS3 had what it has, and Halo 3 and Gears 2 the 360 wouldn't exist right now, it's all about the games.

Ah, and there we have it. Someone on an internet forum is ordering ME not to do something. Okay, Mr. Internet Tough Guy, I sure wouldn't want to piss you off any so I'll just be all meek now and do as you command. :lol

Dude, I'm done responding to you. Your posts are some of the most self-righteous bullshittery on Spurstalk, and a lot of people have caught onto it. When is the last time you actually made a post that wasn't bitching or calling someone else out for something? Some people in this forum like to actually have advice dispensed, not an unassailable opinion rained down from on-high like it's written on a stone tablet. You might be a cool dude in real life, but damn, if you don't act like your opinion is the only one that matters on Spurstalk.

You're just a little too SRS for your own good. But thanks for furthering the thread and not getting the joke. :toast

How often do I talk trash about the 360? I have repeatedly, thoroughly, in NO small detail outlined why I feel the 360 is a fantastic system that I (myself) have one particular reservation that keeps me from owning it.

So find it. Find where I call it a shitty system that anyone is stupid to buy. Hell, find me a single post that says it's even modestly inferior to the Ps3. I'll be waiting.

And until then, I'm definitely done responding to your inane posts.

[eyeh8u]

If the PS3 had what it has, and Halo 3 and Gears 2 the 360 wouldn't exist right now, it's all about the games.

The ps3 was at where the xbox360 and and wii put together are at now, yet the xbox came out and the and nintendo gamecube came out. So what you said about the xbox not existing in your hypothetical is incorrect.

As for games, the age of the third party exclusive is dead, and both systems have great first party exclusives, you cant be a fan of a an fps and say that halo or killzone suck, when playing you can tell that both games are great in there own way. One catalog of exclusives is not vastly better than the other. As long a list you can bring up of exclusives on one system i can give you equally great exclusives on the other.

The reason why you 11 year old plays xbox is becuase all his friends have xbox, more so than the games, your 11 year old knows everything he doesn't about games from what his friends say, and they know from what their older borther says and so one. Microsoft know how to market the shit out of the xbox and has a year advantage of the ps3, couple that with the initial cockyness of Sony to price their system at 600 bucks, is what gave the xbox its initial bump, before the price drops started to effect the system. If the quality of games is what made the system , everyone would still be playing the ps2 because it has a library of amazing games that would last a lifetime if a person was not swayed by whats hot and new.

you have no facts to prove what you are saying. if everyone was informed , no one would buy monster cables for 100 bucks, xbox would have built in wifi, and the ps3 would could with a hdmi cable that cost 1.5 dollars to produce. If people where in forms they would know that the human eye cant tell the difference between 120hz and 240hz lcd tv's.

you do remember starting this thread, don't you?

Second, you're putting an incorrect spin on my posts. I'm not doing that to you. I never said you said any of those things. What I did imply is you have some sort of vendetta against the 360, something others have noted as well.

Third, you've definitely been a douche when discussing this topic (xbox 360 v ps3) before. No, I won't go find the posts.

Nope, I'm done with him.

the opposite of love isn't hate its indifference, you should have ignored him from th start , and not even announced that you are going to ignore him. One time a little kid pissed on my shoe at a restaurant urinal, i didn't scream at the kid, that what he wanted, i waited, found the kids father, and got 85 bucks for the creative recreation shoes his kid ruined. The kid, is like the monkey at the zoo throwing shit at people he wants you to react, in the monkeys case, so he can rip off your limbs , rape you, and give you aids.

the 'beef' is pretty much over if you ask me, but I get pissed when people bring up the whole 360 fucking up thing. It's so goddamn overplayed. I've been through my share of em, I know its stupid and its bullshit, no need to rub it in.

thats fanboyism, but if you retaliate with "ps3 has no games" or LIVE PWNS PSN, its the same shit tactics, no matter a ps3 or xbox controller, we all rather be masturbating.

thats fanboyism

i disagree. Back in 2007 that was fanboyism. Believe you me, I have a couple friends who owned PS3s that talked some rowdy shit back then when I got an e74 error and M$ wouldn't cover it (1 actually had her PS3 go out on her...) then followed it up with a RRoD and video issue within 1 year.

And it was also back then that this joke circulated, in the same or similar forms. I even cracked it a couple times myself considering I own both a working SNES and Sega Genesis, if only to make me feel better.

well... back to playing wolfenstein.

You say you disagree, then go on about telling a story, and not a funny story like when that kid pissed on me, you said you didn't like it when sony fans brought up the failure rate stuff, and all i said was this it is rabid fanboyism to keep bringing it up, so i dont get what you disagree about. And i also dont understand the her part, her? a female with a ps3, unless she is a lesbian i dont see it possible, women should be cooking and cleaning in their free time, not playing games.

[ATRAIN]

also there is no way that nes still works without needing a second game to hold down the first one

I hated that bullshit, or how about blowing on the game to get the dust out?
