    Lol its possible, with the inefficient coding in MGS4 because of PS3's cell structure, double sided dvd disks, installing game content to HD, all those options exists.

    Its definitely not NEVER

    And people like you should read the whole post, not just the places what annoy you.
    I stated I have both consoles and typed out the reasons why I prefer PS3 and explained about both.

    Not to mention, when I sayd X360 has good multiplatformers, I meant it has better quality than PS3 versions, hence they are called multiplatformers.
    I don't like quote'ing big posts, so I'll make it short (about the mistakes you made by quote'ing me).

    CELL - developers CAN take use it with full potential, but they don't know how. If I'm not mistaken then some developer-team said Sony isn't tutorialising their developers enough, so they only use as much as they know how to use. It's not like it's power is limited now.

    Now you whined about some comparison, like Killzone, because the first episode was on PS2. And yet you didn't say a word that Fable (which I named as "series") was also on original Xbox.

    Now Final Fantasy. Have you forgotten Playstation 3 exclusive Final Fantasy Versus XIII or unnamed Final Fantasy project?
    Also I was talking about SERIES. Not single games. If we were to talk about SINGLE games then you forgot to mention White Knight Chornicles and Disagea 3 on PS3.

    Then you judge me by only sayng that one good X360 game is coming out, well if you would know something about release dates and TBA games, then you would know that LA Noire, GOW III and Heavy Rain are all 2009 titles, that's why I didn't include Final Fantasy Versus XIII and other long-shot games. (2010 and later)
    So there was no need for me to name Mass Effect 2 which is TBA, Left 4 Dead which isn't anything special and Star Ocean 4 what may become multiplatformer because PS3 version was not denied.


    And as we can sum up from your post, WileyCoyote - you want to defend Xbox360 so much you'll only talk about the hazy parts about the titles.

    I dont want to spoil the game but ... SPOILER!!! the praise the PS3 in MGS4 also snake uses sixaxis controller for the MK2 and they praise the bluray technology as well. So its just more then rewriting the code and Kojima said million times as well the MGS4 will never come to 360 ;)

    MGS4 is not coming to the 360 so get over it. There will likely be a rerelease of MGS4 with some extra content on the PS3 soon though.

    Developers don't know how to utilize the PS3's potential and its harder to create games for the ps3. Just look at fall out 3 and the orange box for the ps3 they have big bugs that the 360 does not have. Developers have said in interviews as well that developing games for the PS3 is more difficult.

    LOl rofl, read my reply to your last point, my point was all there. In regards to what you're saying, Im just pointing out some ridiculous claims that you made under the mask for summing up the two consoles.

    If someone read your own argument back to you, you'll probably still justify all the farfetched evidence you provided. You added the entire Final Fantasy series, thats what, 15 games including only two exclusives versions of FFXIII PS3s are getting that magically appears in PS3's libarary to make the point that the PS3 have better rpgs... And on the other side? You couldnt even mention the best 360 rpg: mass effect.

    What about using the none existent Killzone 2 as a trump cards against 360 shooter genre. And this is to prove that the Ps3 library is better than the 360?

    You still cant admit that you were inherently biased in your post? I guess you still think the "never been seen cell power" is the final trump card over the proven to be true, more dev-friendly 360 architecture and the multitude of superior multiplats released on the 360 that testifies to it. I at least use factual claims to back up my 'biased' opinions in offering my argument that you're just staying in the 'wait and see' imagination land.

    And finally you said that I lack knowledge of great PS3 titles and Im just really biased against the PS3. I guess you really made your point after I pointed out for you, that Valkyrian Chronicles is the best RPG in the PS3 library and matches up against Mass Effect and Tale of Vesperia.

    In the end you pointed out 3 up coming PS3 titles against 1 360 title that might not even come out in 2009 and your magic ball tells you that GOW 3 is set for release in 2009 also right? Despite those facts, check back and I actually acknowledged that those are promising titles.

    If you had been at least slightly fair, you would have mentioned at least something of 360's 2008/2009 list, Left 4 Dead, The Last Remnant, the new Splinter Cell, Halo recon, Halo wars, Huxley, Boarderlands, Star Ocean 4, which will actually come out within a year to at least show people that the 360 has more potential titles coming out. But I guess you cant, or do you think those are all crap already.

    this thread should be closed seriously. the op already reached his decision and now there is only console bashing. personally i like the ps3 over the xbox360 but you people are just making opinionated answer about wholes the best and bashing on peoples own opinion.plus there are many more threads like this online so why flame here on a notebook thread.

    The xbox is better for several reasons

    first,
    the fact is, the ps3 has no exclusive titles that come close to the halo and gears of war series' in sales. There is no argument against this fact so any argumetn about ps3 exlusive titles is not a valid one. Sure metal gear solid is a good game, but i don't see it coming close to halo 3 record sales.

    Next, the ps3 can have 30 cell processors and it wouldn't help it. If you look at games for example madden, fifa, etc, you will see that ps3 vs the less graphically superior xbox 360, the games look the same but the 360 runs it at 60fps vs 30 on a ps3. So that cell processor doesn't help here. you can continue to argue about how they just haven't figured out how to use the cell processor to its fullest, but i'm pretty sure that is a useless point now. the ps3 has been out close to 2 years and somehow the 360 still manages to have better looking games today. if you look at any recent miltiplatformer like fallout 3 you will see the xbox version is far superior to the ps3 glitch and graphic wise.

    If you look at titles coming out for the 360, you would find that there is far more than just gears of war 2. Lets look at hmm, fable 2 just came out, also I'm pretty sure they just announced a new halo recently, then lets look at the new dashboard coming. The new interface will dominate the ps3 visual and functionality wise.

    One last thing, I'm pretty sure no defending of the 360 needs to be done. Its game sales, console market share, media library, and graphics quality all speak for themself. Really, i think its you that needs to open up your closed mind and take a look at the facts.

    there are plenty of multiplatform games that look and run better on the ps3. Alos Halo3 is THE WORST game ever in the history. Why its so popular because is so stupid so its ratings are down and every 10 year old boy instead of studying, puts on his awful quality headset and plays this awful game. Thats the whole success of 360. Now if u ever have a need to play on a console be a REAL MAN and go for the ps3 with games that have some more quality touch then halo3 which runs at 001p resolution :) thank u xbots.

    wow i hate it when i am totally misquoted. Idk where me mentioning that i bought the 360 off ebay has to do with anything, i admitted it and straight up said it was a refurbished system, everything that was said was nothing new, i knew it had been used and i even said the banned ones were messed with, and i know the dates they were all made on since it says right on the system serial number, it doesnt matter whether its a new one or not the system is still hotter and louder despite having the RROD fix which it should have had all along. Idk why people thought i was trying to just bash the 360, if i hated it that much i wouldnt have bought one. And obviously they dont understand that some games are developed on one system or the other as i was saying that games developed on the ps3 that are multiplatform look much better on ps3 than ones developed on the 360 and ported over, its just that the ps3 hardware is harder to develop for so the ports end up being crappy.

    Wow, people are seriously posting bullcrap now. =x

    Where did I ever mention "better" RPG's? And as I already stated you know nothing about release dates .. as for God of War 3, it's 2009 : http://ps3.thegamereviews.com/story-268-Release-Date-for-God-of-War-Confirmed.html

    Mass Effect was also on PC and I already named two of each, so what the hell? Just because I don't name ALL the genre games you think I'm biased? Haha, your fanboy pride is ridiculousy high.

    You're 'biased' as much as I am then. Tryng to predict what I think, sucking "facts" out of thin air and bull****ting about what I'm doing. Way to go. You remind me those wannabe fanboys from GameFaqs, thinking up "facts" to prove their console is better.

    And you fanboism strikes again. The Last Remnant is multiplatformer, it's also coming to PC and PS3. Star Ocean 4 is a possible multiplatformer. Left 4 Dead isn't anything special (feel free to disagree, but the hype for this game is practically zero-like). And two Halos? Hah. :)

    And if I were to show off Playstation 3 releases, then have you forgotten MAG (256 player online), Demon's Souls (so far my personal most hyped game), Gran Turismo 5, Yakuza 3, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm 2 and WarDevil. So add these to the previous list and if all the games will be released (meaning none of them will be delayed) then Xbox360 is literally in deep sh*t.

    An Xbot..why am I not surprised seeing one? ^^
    You don't know much about Playstation 3 games, do you? Resistance series is as good as Halo's/GoW's are, if Killzone 2 delivers everything it's promised then it's better than all of those combined. Not to mention MAG.

    Sure Halo 3 got 8 million copies sold, so every second Xbox360 owner has this game, but MGS4 sold only half of that, not that big of a deal when comparing the install base of users, especially when X360 was released a year before.

    Actually it would help. Do you even know why some multiplatformers look little worse on PS3? I already explained it, but it seems you did not understand it .. it's because they are ports. Developed for X360 to use it's full potential, but then they port it to PS3 using half or even less of it's power, or else they should redesign the game.
    No X360 game is running at 60p while PS3 is running 30p, so stop making things up like the previous guy.

    Also did you know that right now only Playstation 3 has a game running 1080p and full solid 60fps? That's right, the only real HD game at the moment. It's Wipeout HD.
    Now you still whine about multiplatformers, yes, X360 has 5-6 better looking multiplatformers, but that doesn't mean PS3 doesn't have them. Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Devil May Cry 4, Burnout Paradise .. all these multiplatformers look better on PS3, google it up if you can't believe.
    Not to mention exclusive games. No released game on X360 could match up the visuals of GT5 Prologue or Uncharted : Drake's Fortune, and that is being agreed on even the X360 fanboy forums. Exclusive games look better on PS3 because they are designed on PS3 which is more powerful so there is no need to explain this.
    Wow, you named two recent good X360 games, but did you know even Fable 2 suffered at glitches, slowdowns and freezing errors?
    And NXE is still NOTHING when compared it to Playstation Home or when comparing it to PS3 XMB system. :)

    LittleBigPlanet, MotorStorm 2 : Pacific Rift, Resistance 2, White Knight Chornicles, Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted : Drake's Fortune, Heavenly Sword and so on.. most of these games are still unmatched by the X360, and there isn't much coming out exept GoW 2 either, only multiplatformers. (Within next 6 months).

    I was waiting until someone brings up sales. Did you know that since 2007 october Playstation 3 has been outselling Xbox360 worldwide? Only lately, X360 has been selling little more on Japan because of the two jRpgs (even though one of them was a failure). Though Japan has never liked X360 (selling even less than PS2 there since launch) the only place where X360 has been selling well is NA, but since 2007 it has been outsold by PS3 and still is by the way.
    Media Library? That's a sad place where to look, kid. X360 supports a dead HD-player, called HD-DVD, while Playstation 3 has the best Blu-Ray player inside (and fastest too, still). Both can stream videos over net, but PS3 supports more media formats.
    I do agree X360 is good because it has a share of better-looking multiplatformers and cheaper price, but that's it. Because of the RRoD problem, Live Gold fee, no WiFi, no BluRay I wouldn't suggest the console to anyone.

    Heh, talk about "closed mind" when you know nothing about PS3 and then think X360 is better. Lawl.

    threads like this are stupid, each console has it's own ups and downs, it's really up to the user which features he wants to keep and which he wants to sacrifice... i've played both the PS3 and the xbox 360, in my opinion the xbox360 has better graphics, the ps3 has a nicer controller to hold, the ps3 has free online access (but i've heard that it's not as good as live because of the social aspect of it) and the xbox live is costing money to play.

    i preffer the xbox 360 but that's mostly because i own one and the only time i've played PS3 is round my mates and my uncles. like i said before it's all up to the the user whether he wants to sacrifice a feature or keep it.

    They're both different in some way.

    Right.. and you're not.

    I just want to point out obvious bull Akuma has been saying.

    Akuma likes to talk out of his *** alot, for his PS3, please excuse him.
    The last remnant is a 360 exclusive
    [​IMG]

    Also, Akuma likes to gaze into his Crystal ball alot when offering up arguements for the PS3, he said Star Ocean 4 is going to be a possible multiplat.. So why even mention it if its just "possible", does it fill up the empty space that otherwise would look excruciating hollow? Anyways lets go by what we actually KNOW

    read this from gamespot and just about any other review site

    Game: Star Ocean: The Last Hope (X360)
    Release Date: Mar 3, 2009
    The latest entry in the futuristic space opera RPG series is scheduled for a global release in 2009 exclusively on the Xbox 360.
    Tags: rpg, square enix, star ocean, star ocean: the last hope, tri-ace, star, star ocean 4, star ocean the last hope

    I cant say if its going to be on the PS3 or not, but when its released, the only place to get it is the 360.

    If you're looking for JRPGs, go for the 360, the PS3 JRPG library is really small right now.

    -Valkyria Chronicles (its releasing in nov, and its been getting great reviews)
    -Eternal Sonata (its a 360 port that released on the PS3 a year after its release on the 360, and its one of the two quality JRPGs on that console)

    The 360 has an indisputable edge in both the quantity and quality of JRPG titles.

    -The Last Remnant (its releasing in nov)
    - Tale of Vesperia
    -Eternal Sonata
    -Lost Odyssey
    -Infinite Undiscovery
    -Blue Dragon

    Its definitely a case for the 360. But then you might not even care about JRPGs so none of this matters.

    *its nice to actually research a bit and find proof before debunking ridiculous claims.

    360 by far is the better system hands down.

    And lol at the fanboy talking about Little Big Planet. After the disastrous launch are you really serious when you say that that's a big hit?

    Fable 2 beats that out of the park any day of the week. LBP is just a bunch of hype.

    Heavenly Sword got a 5.5 in one of its reviews. It was just Goddess of War. Uncharted was just Tomb Raider: Male Edition. Metal Gear Solid was a glorified movie with game aspects inbetween. White Chronicles is a new franchise which will most likely be mediocre.

    R2 and K2 are just wannebe Halos and Gears of Wars...yet they fail miserably at it. R2 got good scores cuz of all the usual sony hype.

    Lol Playstation Home has been in beta like FOREVER and still looks stupid and boring.

    XMB is nothing special. NXE will destory it once it comes out.

    The 360 has The Lost Remnant, Star Ocean FOUR, Banjo & Kaazooie Nuts and Bolts, Gears of War 2, Halo 3 Recon, and Halo Wars. Plus many more that MS is keeping under wraps at the moment. ALL exclusive titles.

    And lets not forget the exclusives that have already dropped. Fable 2, Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Infinite Undiscovery, Too Human...the list goes on but you get the point.

    Then there's LIVE which kills Playstation Network. At least the servers don't go down every time a new game comes out.

    LBP has already had issues with it's online component.

    Anyways the bottom line is that the ps3 is a waste of money. It was sony's attempt to get Bluray to win the HD format war. Well it worked in that regard although it still has to beat DVDs and Digital Downloads. And in addition that their are standalone players that perform just as well if not better the ps3 when it comes to movies. So it's quickly losing it's last shred of value. However sony sacrificed the games aspect of the console and is in last place as it deserves to be.

    The only games coming out for the ps3 that I care about at this point are God of War 3 and Final Fantasy XIII Versus. Of course we all know the MAIN FFXIII game is coming out for the 360 as well which totally destroys the ps3 this generation.

    P.S. I forgot that there is a sequel in the works for the awesome Blue Dragon. And hopefully Lost Odyssey too. It's funny how the 360 is the console that's getting all the solid RPGs even though all the sony fanboys want to label it the shooter box...

    Haha, you're one really funny kid. :D

    The Last Remnant is NOT exclusive. Don't you know how to Google or what?
    Wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Remnant
    Square-Enix website : http://www.square-enix.com/na/company/press/2008/0714/

    Both of them display Playstation 3 and PC as where the game is headed. Didn't you even watch E3? It was even showed there, in Sony's booth and in Microsoft booth. Geez, talk about a blind fanboy.

    Now Star Ocean 4 - it was NOT announced as exclusive, but only X360 release has been confirmed so far.

    When asked whether the title would release on the PlayStation 3, Square Enix producer Yoshinori Yamagishi replied "We can say that it will be released first [on the Xbox 360]. Whether we'll release it on the PS3 is undecided. We may release it, we may not."

    So there - it's exclusive status IS under a ? - mark.


    And already you're eating your own words. As I already stated, it's announced only on X360, and PS3 version is undecided. What it to understand? Seriously, do your homework before you act like this.

    Eternal Sonata will NOT be ported. It's already out and better than the Xbox360 version : it's colours are much more brighter, there are more cutscenes, there are more endings and there are more characters. What should I say? Go read something first before you bluntly lie.

    Also you "forgot" to mention White Knight Chornicles, a RPG where is 16-man online to do some hard missions or whatever, an epic story (or so do they promise) and really great visuals.


    I do play JRPGS. And about researching.
    You told me, I'm taking my information out of "magic ball" or whatever twice already, and both times YOU were wrong.

    God of War 3 release - 2009.
    Last Remnant - multiplatformer.

    If you were to read my posts correctly then you would have seen the first thing I said. I've been through this console discussions before, I've researched about games, consoles, sales numbers, reviews more than a regular console-vs-console thread poster and I've got both of the consoles anyway, so why would I need to post inaccurate info?

    I got the 360 for its shooters. And mainly for two titles:

    Halo 3
    Gears of War

    This was back in 2007 when the shooting genre on the PS3 looked like crap. The top titles were Resistance: FoM and COD4, and you'd rather play that on the PC.

    Things look differently now, and honestly if I were to purchase a console right now based of the shooting genre, it'll be a harder choice.

    Sony did a great job with Resistance 2
    Killzone 2 looks like it has potential although you'd have to wait for that and see how it actually turns out.

    But when it comes down to it I'd still give up R2 for the Halo and Gears series. There is too much potential in the two series, theres already two titles from those lines set for release, Gears of War 2, Halo 3 Recon

    XBL does a great job @ hosting great online matches, both communities are amazing. Im pretty glad that I stuck with the two franchises.

    Bottom line: Gears of War 2 is going to be insane!!

    Wow the box art looks beautiful. Can't wait for Last Remnant to drop.

    And Akuma I love your selective vision.

    He said that when it is released it will be a 360 exclusive and that he does not know if it will be released for the ps3 in the future. But that for now it is an exclusive.
