Here're the reasons why i feel the PS3 had a better year than the 360.

What do you guys think?

Feel free to critic.

AAA Games (even AAAA!)

Metal Gear Solid 4 - 10.0

Little Big Planet - 9.0

Resistance 2 - 9.0

The PS3 has a total of 3 AAA exclusives this year (one even an AAAA). 360 has only 1.

Multiplatform games (good games that is, not spiderman)

1) Dead space - 9.0 - PS3 lead platform

2) Burnout paradise - 9.0 - PS3 lead platform, getting more love next year with MORE exclusive DLC that 360 doesn't (not referring to the bikes, they're already ou on the 360 too)

3) Devil May Cry 4 - this is kinda subjective. some feel that the PS3 version has better grahpics.

4) Mirror's edge - PS3 lead platform

Re-releases on PS3 + extra content

1)Eternal Sonata - re-released with an extra character and a whole lot more content.

2)Bioshock - DLC challange rooms and "new" survivor mode.

3) Alone in the dark - improvements made to gave

Though both versions of alone in te dark still isn't as good. Hey. Atari made some positive improvements over the PS3 version instead of just doing a port.

Significant Udpates

1) Grand theft Auto 4 received trophy patch. Rockstar could just igore PS3GTA and work on DLC for 360. Kudus to them for the effort

2) Sony going strides doing ingame XMB, playstation videostore (which the fans REALLY wanted) ( i don't know if 360 owners really wanted the dashboard update)

3) BETAs BETAs BETAs, killzone2, resistance2, littlebigplanet, home .. for PS3 users.

4) Fireware updates making PS3 a whole better media machine

5) Piracy still not an issue on the PS3 yet.

6) New Genre- defining games. Little Big Planet highest scoring exclusive on metacritic this year. Valkyria Cronicles an instant sucess (8.5 on GS, same as top 360 RPG, TOV, scoring however 4points more than TOV on metracritic).

7) An even better 2009 confirmed. Killzone 2. WKC, FFadventchildren+13demo, infamous, GT5 (maybe), Heavy Rain promises that if you think 2008 was great. 2009 will be even better.

FEEL FREE TO ADD TO MY LIST.

I do have to admit that besides these ups, the PS3 had many downs too. Haze and Socom being one of them. and the fallout 3/bioshock graphic issu, but they're getting patched as we speak.

360 had quite a few low points. AAA prmised RPGs did not deliver (good but not great i guess). NG2 was up against MGS4. Too Human failed (seriously). NXE caused more RROD.

But hey, I would like it to be that PS3 had a better year cause there were more UPS for it, and not that the 360 had more DOWNS.

What do you guys think?

Games, hardware, software, developer support, news. Which console had an overall better year

review scores aren't "facts". they're opinions. you posted a lot of subjective information, very little of which is actual fact.

lol, 90% of mutliplatform games are better on Xbox 360. Xbox 360 has been outselling PS3(I think everywhere but Japan?), Xbox 360's games sell better.

Ill admit, PS3 has Xbox 360 beat in AAAAEs but that is about it.

By cleverly omitting any positive statement regarding the 360 whatsoever, I think we can safely say this isn't a comparison, more a list of reasons you like the PS3.

I'm glad you like it.

I agree 100% dood, PS3 had a fantastic year, also its not over with the PS3 yet, according to Sony, HOME will be released before the year ends, it seems a little bit late, but who knows anythign can happen, regardless ps3 has a fantastic year.

There has been a lot of PS3 salesman threads lately. If this many threads need to be made to try and convince that the PS3 is a good console then maybe it is not as good as you want it to be.

Also you forgot to mention that ps3 got the video store implemented too, considering its slightly better with a few downs, good stuff is more studios (sony pictureslol which is awsome) the worse thign is that there nto as much movies out compared to 360 selections but there still alot and its only going to improve.

Sigh....they both had good years. I think the 360 had a overall better year mainly because they released gears of war 2, had a way better update that Sony's, had some good 3rd party support such as Lost Oddyssey and Left 4 Dead, and I overall just enjoyed more games on the 360, but the game I probably enjoyed most this whole year is...MGS4. I think both consoles are heading in the right direction but with the 360 I couple strides ahead.

One thing to say. Netflix. Sony needs to hustle to bring it or a system like it because it is amazing how well the 360 and Netflix work together.

I wish more people would understand this stuff. So many act like Gamespot scores actually effect the outside world. Gamespot is just a small cog in the big gaming machine.
