I though console war topics were banned :P

That story of PS3 has a better hardware and etc... is only a "half-true". Actually the Xbox's GPU is better than PS3's one and has more rendering power, but the PS3's CPU is better than Xbox's.

I personally prefer a Xbox 360.

I think what James is getting at is that the architecture of the PS3's CPU and the architecture of the 360's CPU handle different tasks more efficiently, making them somewhat incomparable.

Xbox360 > PS3.

Because Xbox360 exclusivity games > Ps3 exclusivity games.

It seems to me, this generation's consoles are a toss up between:

- A game of Russian Roulette with the RRoD, (X360)
- A game of Russian Roulette with a Ground Loop issue, (PS3)
- and a mutated child of a MacBook, a Power Glove and a Gamecube. (Wii)

...I want 2005 back.

hmm i never knew that sony had more money than microsoft, if i had to guess, i'd say you're joking because bill gates, owning just a small part of microsoft, is one of the richest guys alive. yet i have anything to hear about sony stock holders having this kind of status.

Microsoft: Make operating systems, certain electrical devices for consumers and businesses alike, Xbox.

That's pretty much it.

Sony: Walkmans, PS3's, PSP's, Bravia TV's, THOUSANDS of mobile phones, headphones, headsets, laptops, Blu-Ray drives, Blu-Ray players Blu-Ray discs, DVD drives, DVD players, cameras, camcorders, recording software, record label, CD's, computer monitors for businesses/public sector, and probably MANY other products released in Japan.

Convinced yet?

Hmm I dont know. I think Microsoft has more money duo to the business partners and big corporations, including banks, governments and schools all over the world.

However both companies have enough money for marketing (worldwide) and sponsoring exclusive games, hardware labs, keeping a network online etc.. It's a fair competition.

PS3 having shit exclusives imo is a poor arguement, most of the blame however is Sony's because they won't advertise the very good exclusives that they do actually have

Meh, does it REALLY matter? I mean, they both spend much on game development and such.

Microsoft market cap (NYSE: MSFT) = 267 Bln $, total equity 40 Bln $

Sony market cap (NYSE: SNE) = 34.4 Bln $, total equity 31 Bln $

So if I'm not mistaken, Microsoft is much richer and can easily buy Sony if they want to.

Sony has the best original exclusives. God of War III is one of the best games made, period.

I lol'd. Except God of War III, all sucking.

Protocol wrote:God of War III


Yes. And the only one.

Noob's argument that i've heard a lot of times : "We have MGS 4 in PS3".
Yes, but this one is old and don't forget that the next MGS called Rising will be playable on Xbox360.

Anyway, just watch the future : Halo Reach, Gears of War III, Fable III, Spinter cell conviction, Mass Effect 2..etc are all exclusivity games for xbox360.

Please now stfu with exclusivity, Xbox pwns ps3 easily.

Except new Tom Clancy games are shit.

Fable II was mediocre, so what can III offer?

Mass Effect 2 is available on PC, as is Splinter Cell.

All of your arguments are pointless because this argument is FOUR FUCKING YEARS OLD.
Signatures are dumb.

That's your opinion. I like Tom Clancy's games.

Your opinion too, a lot of people liked it, not my prob if you dislike good games.

Mass Effect 2 is available on PC, as is Splinter Cell, as isn't Halo Reach and Gears III


Lots of players dislike PCs and prefer play in Xbox360. Where is your point?

All of your arguments are pointless because this argument is FOUR FUCKING YEARS OLD.


I lol'd, Your arguments are very more pointless, rofl : -> Mass Effect 2 is available on PC, as is Splinter Cell.

My God you're an imbecile. You're arguing about console superiority, something which is HIGHLY subjective.

To say "that's just your opinion" only magnifies your ignorance to that fact.

We all have our opinions. They clash. We get topics like this. Ergo, I can say mine without someone saying "WELL THAT'S YOUR OPNION".

Also, my point was games on PC ≠ exclusive.

Moron.

Killzone?
Uncharted?
Fuck the age - MGS4, and the fact the next Metal Gear game is on Xbox is irrelevant
Little Big Planet
Ratchet And Clank (yes, i mentioned it, its awesome)
Heavy Rain (YES JAMES)
Infamous?
Resistance 1 and 2?
Demon Souls?
God Of War 3?
Motorstorm?
Yakuza 3? (fuckin awesome)

Every single one of these games mentioned are at the least, good, but obviously this is my opinion, your opinion is that Xbox exclusives are better, fair enuf but this dosn't automatically mean that PS3's list is shit or poor in comparison, you just think other wise, this dosn't make it fact.

I just gave my point. The most of the times PS3's players bought it because Multi is free.

The way the market is going, every game will be available on every console, its costing too much to be console exclusive nowadays
