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

Huh, I could of sworn I was just playing Modern Warfare 2 with friends, must have been my imagination.

You win a prize.

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.

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.

I mean you can't really be a loner if your paying to be social.:P I mean I can chat and go on Facebook for FREE on my PC at any time.:P

Also most of the PS3's best games are mostly compressed of single player experiences being the main focus so obviously that's where the gamers attention goes to.

Another thing to consider, who actually buys a video game console based off of how social it is? If I wanted to be as social as possible I probably wouldn't spend my time playing games

So, you've based this off of one guy you hardly even know...brilliant.

That explains MAG. And KZ2. And Resistance. And even multiplats that sell extremely well. (Call of Duty)

This is just what lemmings say to make up for the fact that the PS3 has all the good single player exclusives.

dumbest thread on System wars Award goes to this one

I agree that PS3 is more geared toward single player and 360 is more geared toward online. That being said, I don't think you can make a conclusion about anyone by the system they own. For instance, I've owned all three consoles this gen and still have PS360. So.... Also I know a bunch of PS3 only gamers who are MW2 pheens.

let's just pull this puppy out from 2007

ok so you basicly saying 1 person is the same with other 8million people :question: :| i have 3 controllers and play online on my ps3 alot same with my friends who have ps3's most of them dont play there 360s online because they dont want to pay and some barely even touch it

i guess you can also make the arguement that 360 players only play with "online" friends, while ps3 players play single player games when they aren't out in social environments face to face instead of only hearing someones voice through a headset. how bout that. this thread is retarded.

Look! Im replying to a troll thread!

That is one of the weakest stereotypes one could make about the two consoles.

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

So people who enjoy single player games are now "loners"...

You simply will not find a 360 owner who only ones 1 controller and does not play on Live

I kinda agree with the TC. Also many of the most popular PS3 games have single player focused gameplay whereas most of the big 360 games have MP focused gameplay. This can be the same for almost all of the PS3 games (UC2 and MGS4 have MP, but they aren't nearly as good as the SP campaigns).lhughey

Generalizations based on personal experience... Wouldn't be SW without them.

PlayStation has never been the "social" console.

32-bit days the N64 was the "social" console with Smash Bros, Goldeneye, Star Fox, Perfect Dark, etc. etc.

Last gen the Xbox was the "social" console with Halo mainly, and GameCube had Smash Bros. Heck the Ps2 only had TWO controller ports which basically meant Sony admitted their console isn't social.

Yeah well I know this one kid at school who has no friends and he only has a 360. Back to the drawing board TC.

LittleBigPlanet says "Hi"

I only own 1 360 controller TC. Guess it's not that simple eh?

WhenI want my alone time I game. When I want my social time i go out and do real things in the real world with people i actually know. If anything xbox users are the loners having to get their social fix over a video game with people they dont know.

Thats funny, because the only way I socialize with a few of my high school friends these days besides MSN and hanging out during day offs of school is through playing uncharted 2.

Why is the TC getting bashed so much? He's right about many PS3 owners that I find. I got about 20 good friends that I play LIVE with, while I got like 3 friends who got the PS3 and can't play with us. They always brag about the PS3's graphics being SO MUCH better and I just LOL.-RocBoys9489-

You're just as bad as TC.
