would you prefer the ps3 or the 360?

Answer 1

First. Games. Microsoft has been picking up all the rookies with a lot of potential while Sony has stuck with it's companies that have made great games in the past but are old and need to retire. The most relevant example is SqaureEnix. They made some of the greatest games ever, but they can't keep up with the younger generation's needs and wants and will suffer dearly for their inability to keep up. Sony will be plagued by this in the future and Microsoft will pull ahead as it's picking up the younger, more fresh players while Nintendo will continue making kids games and games that are "fun," which will keep them in the race as much if not more than Sony.

Second. Reliability. Ps2 had more problems than any fan would admit. Ps3 has be enduring many, many problems in it's first few weeks of release. Granted 360 had a number of problems in it's initial release, Ps3 still should look better than this.

Third. Capabilities. On a scale of 1-10 for total game graphics, sound and playability, the consoles rate as fallows. Wii 5-6. Xbox 360 8. Ps3 8.5-9. They're really isn't much difference between the 360 and the Ps3. Xbox has a rich online community that Ps3 will have to copy to keep up. Wii's online allows downloads of old NES and some Sega games. Plans for Nintendo 64 games are in the works for download able content.

Ps3 has Blu-ray and if you believe that's the future of DVD then you'd be better off buying a Ps3 than a Blu-ray player as the Ps3 is about $200-$1000 cheaper than a player.

360 has a HD-Drive that you can purchase for $200 and if you believe HD-DVD is the future then there you go.

Wii has no DVD support.

Wii is the cheapest system and it would be "fun." Nintendo has always been a parent friendly system and is great for younger kids.

Ps3 is the most expensive system($599 for the top system,) and would be good as a Blu-ray player.(If you want to argue the hard drive, you can buy a USB drive for XBOX and have more space than Ps3 and still be cheaper.)

360 is the ladder and has a much better set up over Sony and Nintendo. Games are great and you can expect a lot of exclusive games from 360 in 2007.

Get a 360.

Answer 2

While ps3 is going to pack more of a punch in the graphics and hardware department, the 360 is going to have a better first person shooter library (hopefully your a fan of shooters), MUCH better online gaming(by the way you can get the xbox live gold kit for about $55(online that is)-it includes a headset, 12 months of live, and 200 microsoft points- you can but new content for games with this. Another positive thing about the 360 is that they are expanding their rpg library to gain popularity in Japan. Even though games like final fantasy and metal gear solid are only going to be available for the ps3 i'd still go with the 360... I'll get the ps3 in a year or so when the price drops a little.

Answer 3

360. Microsoft just makes a better product. I have had an original XBox since it came out and it still works fine. I have been thru 2 Playstation 2's in that time, both are now broken and no longer work. The 360 is great, a little loud, but a great system.

Answer 4

Yeah, if you're looking for a game and media hub, than the ps3 is for you. But for a Hardcore gamer like myself, I'd go for the 360.it's because of games like gears of war that make the 360 really a Powerhouse. Beside many developper don't want to make games for the ps3 anymopre because it cost a lot of money.

Answer 5

360. Sony has a bad history of releasing shoddy hardware. Most of thier exclusives franchises aren't anymore(GTA, Smackdown, RE possibly). And most important they've gotten so arrogant the think the can charge whatever they want for something they know doesn't work and get away with it.

Answer 6

360 all the way

Answer 8
