My point?

If the Xbox is a console for people who just want to play games...then that implies that people who buy other consoles (mainly PS3) don't care about games. Yet the way I see it (based on sales charts), the PS3 audience still buys a broader assortment of titles while 360 gamers tend to stick to shooters.

If we are going what one group of gamers likes over another,the most logical way to do this would be by looking at what games they support. AND, if we are going to compare one CONSOLES' audience to another CONSOLES' audience, then it seems most logical to compare how that particular audience support excusive titles. After all, surely you wouldn't saythe 360 gamers careMORE about just playing games based on the fact they play Assassin's Creed 2? That's like saying I care more about moviesthan other people because I went to see the most popular, highest grossing movie out right now.

Granted, I admit to some generalizing on my part...but the thread started off with generalizing to begin with didn't it?

[QUOTE="aia89"]

It has no exclusives someone would say. who cares? it's not like everyone buys a console to play exclusive games, when those represent a very small percentage of the whole library anyway.

the Ps3 doesn't have many exclusives either, I think people who really do care about exclusives go for the Wii.

Personally I bought an xbox 360 when I realized that my laptop couldn't play certain games.. I didn't wanna bother spending money to buy a computer.

Ps3 cost a lot of money back then, but now it's still too expensive in europe, imo. the Wii had just a few games I liked, so the obvious choice was to buy an xbox 360, regardless those of you who say it is stupid to buy one. Yeah, I wanna know why it is stupid to own an xbox 360.. ?

no, that's just not what I'm saying. I didn't say that who owns a ps3 doesn't care about games. when did I say that? how could you understand it?

I said that I bought an xbox 360 - and like me many other people - because I didn't wanna, or rather I could not buy a new Pc. and as there were/are games that I want to play, I opted to buy an xbox 360 for a realitvely small price. because that's what I could afford. it's not like I didn't buy a ps3 because I dislike it. it really came to the price. 399 euros was just not affordable for me, too much.

Of course I'm not like many of you guys who buy lots of games and probably also play a lot more than I do, but I'm just happy to play those titles that I'm interested in.

I don't dislike any consoles, I even enjoy playing wii games at my friends' so..

its besically a console for people who are gaming on a budget. ps3 now has the best games.InfiniteBlak

These are just off the top of my head. They show a very strong, and well balanced line-up of GAMES THAT CANT BE PLAYED ON A PS3. Hide behind a PC all you want, but apparently Microsoft doesn't care if some of these games are available on the PC. You know why? Because very few people actually buy them on the PC, which makes me laugh because if this forum was any indication, you would think that every PS3 owner buy those games on their super-duper gaming PC...LOL

One other point...based on hardware sales, software sales, market share, profitability, XBL install base compared to PSN install base, or any other unit of measure you want to view, apparently Microsoft has owned Sony for the last 4 years...Get over it.

No reason to buy a 360 because in one year microsoft WILL remodel the 360, making more slim, quitter, pretty and reliable. While bundlinig together natal and offering bigger Hard drives, 250GB+ and cheaper prices.

The 360 remodeling will also have built-in wi-fi and option for Blu-ray.

Also will create less heat, and the processor/gpu efficience will be improved which will give option to developer to use the extra power for OPTIONAL features, that the original 360 won't have.

IT WILL HAPPEN, just 2010 and you will all see.

No they dont, Crackdown and mass effect didnt even sell that great. Fable did because it already had fanbase from last gen.

The PS3, Wii and 360 are built for people who just want to game.

If consolites cares about all those high setting, extra things, they'd all own gaming rigs, which do everything.

[QUOTE="alextherussian"] No one needs to prove anything. However the poster babbles on about "ownage" rights and claims to have gone out, and payed money to buy a list of quite reasonable games (please note the list is only games that are pertinent to making the 360 look bad and not just pc games like stalker, alma, witcher, e.t.c). If he wants "ownage" (and wow thats pretty sad) then he would need to prove that he has indeed played these games.alextherussian

Funny. I use my 360 more for movie watching than my PS3 or my PC.

The 360 certainly is not for budget gamers. In fact, it is the most expensive console of the bunch, that is if you want to use all the features that make it so good.

yoo know theres a difference between shooters and games with guns in them....

The argumant about 360 not having exclusives is starting to get annoying! :?

Yes, it shares lots of games with PC but it is a plus. Also, excluding all PC/360 multiplats, 360 has more good exclusives than PS3:

Small difference in the ones listed. Shooting is the key element in all of them.

That's my main gripe with Uncharted 2, it's mostly shooting, and poor shooting at that.

without caring about Pc settings, hardware stuff and such.

It has no exclusives someone would say. who cares? it's not like everyone buys a console to play exclusive games, when those represent a very small percentage of the whole library anyway.

the Ps3 doesn't have many exclusives either, I think people who really do care about exclusives go for the Wii.

Personally I bought an xbox 360 when I realized that my laptop couldn't play certain games.. I didn't wanna bother spending money to buy a computer.
