PS3 is For loner Gamers. X360 is for social gamers.

Yesterday I was helping my friend move into his new apartment. He has 2 roommates and the very weird one (who he met through work) sure enough pulled out his PS3 while unpacking. As I was browsing through his library of games and simply watching the awkward mannerisms of him, it hit me. The PS3 is really desgined for people who game alone. MGS, Uncharted, Infamous, hes buying GOW3.... I asked him does your current lack of interent effect you (he owns MW2). He goes nah I dont play online. He also only owns .... 1 controller.

Halo, Gears of War, every single multiplat game designed for online/multiplayer is better received (sales) on X360. You simply will not find a 360 owner who only ones 1 controller and does not play on Live, as its very geared towards social play (with friends or family)

I think it is safe to consider the X360 the social console and the PS3 the personal console.

Good job using one individual to represent millions of gamers. Its weird because I have a PS3 and the only time I play alone is when I am playing a SP game

Im sorry but this thread is ridicolous.. sure the 360 has better online, but that doesnt mean ps3 games are more loners then 360 gamers.

PS3 and xbox are both two great systems

The 360 focuses more on online play, and why shouldn't it? you have to pay for it. But that by no means results in the PS3 being a console for loners.

This is almost as ridicolous as the people that say PC gamers are loners/nerds and console gamers are not.

Out of all my gamer friends, the most weird, awkward, funny looking and also violently angry person online is 360 purist... What conclusions should I take out of this?

Seriously, way to generalize.

nice generalization man. all 360 gamers on live are 12 year old brats with high pitched voices. see, i can do that to!

I play Warhawk online all the time and MW 2. You don't have to be a chatter box to play on PSN. You can actually play online without a mic! Wow what a news flash!!!:shock:

I have met some anti social people that all they do is play Halo 3 online and dont have any RL friends.

Actually PS3 and 360 are both for people who enjoy playing games, no matter how they play them.

uhm... MAG is pretty social.

And also... I play on Live but I only have one controller.. I broke your criteria!

You forgot 14-26 year old foul-mouthed jerkoffs. I played on Xlive for 3 years and that pretty much sums it up for me. He's right, listening to those kinds of people is better than not.:roll:

So much fail, the PS3 has a ton more exclusive online games.

uh huh.... the 4 player games and extra controllers at my house beg to differ.

There are 100's of millions of gamers the world over who own different consoles and computers who use gaming for different reasons. To decide all the people who earn a certain console are a certain way because of which console they own is pretty stupid.

Okay, just so we're clear, because "your friend" prefers single player games on PS3, the console as a whole lacks viable Multiplayer games?

My 2 controllers and my fighting games beg to differ.

dezzyfiesta

it depends....i have many friends who mod their 360 and play sp alone...but generally yeah live better communication system than PSN

hay guysh i saw this one guy do something so I'm going to apply it to 30 million + people

The fact that you're old enough to help a friend move in somewhere and still using logic like this sickens me.

Lol maybe that's true for your friend but naw I don't think so. It may seem like it because of the single player games you mentioned and how it seem that nobody has headsets on the PS3 but both the 360 and PS3 are for social gamers with a slight end to the 360.

In your OT you said that 1 person made you realize that the PS3 is for loners. That is a huge stretch to even call a remotely true generalization. Idk if you're aware of this but some people still do like SP games. Not everything needs MP to be good. The 360 has a larger user base so more people = more sales, even though games still well on the PS3.

I'm not saying 1 console is more social than the other. They both have plenty of games for both types of people

Well yeah, it's pretty hard to refute facts you pulled from a place where the su doesn't shine. What's the basis of your "facts?"

I can see if you are talking about offline 2 player games. As the PS3 really is lacking in this department compared to the 360. I hope they add some offline co-op action in either or both KZ2 or R3. I play a lof of UC2 online but it would have been so sweet if it had co-op offline for the arena and mini-missions part of the game. PSN online is fine to play games with friends but otherwise the Playstation suffers in offlineco-op.

Yeah, no. This was very silly. Here's another example in the "in my personal experience" catalog. I have about four to five friends who I play with often on PSN with various online games. My friend's list is made up with about forty something people who I usually all play with or talk to every so often when I can. I have two controllers for my PS3 and two for the 360. Besides cross-game chat and the integrated party system on XBL (which are neat), it's just as much as a social experience.

Well you are wrong. A loner is to pick a PS3 as well as a 360 or a PC. A social gamer is most likely to buy a Wii.

Social gamers, that's a new one.

This, OP's view is based off a wild generalisation.

you picked one person, one person is one person. im sure i could find someone with a 360 who just sits and plays alone.

Online isn't everything. look at the Wii, the weakest console this generation in online yet it is probably the most social one.

I also don't get the idea that singleplayer games has to be played by loners. WoW is filled by lonely people that only have friends in that game.

The PS3 is for people that liked the PS2 and thought the PS3 was going to be just as good. They were wrong.

We have two ps3s hooked up in my apt, and one hooked up in a buddy's apt and we all play games together online and bluetooth linked. Just because the playstation has way better single player games doesnt mean its a singleplayer only console.
