This topic had to be done, after discussing it on ''there could be a playstation 4'' topic.

Here's why I think PS3 is better:

Playstation Home
Playstation Plus
Playstation Move
PSP
NGP
PSone Classics
PS2 HD Collections
Minis
Backwards Compatilibity
Free online play
LoveFilm
VidZone
Great games (Killzone 2 & 3, Gran Turismo 5, God of War III, The Last Guardian etc)

Here's why I think 360 is better:

Backwards Compatilibity
Kinect
Original X-Box Classics
Great games (Gears of War 1 & 2, Forza Motorsport 2 & 3, Halo series etc)

That's all I can think of the 360, maybe coz it's been along time since I had one. Which one do u think it's better?

Neither. They're just two game consoles that do near enough the same thing with bad exclusives. :V

Kinect is terrible, btw, barely even works. I'm assuming that the PSMove is horrid too, because motion control needs to die out plz.

I know Kinect is shit, but PS Move isn't coz I own one.

Motion control is the worst control scheme ever conceived that will remain a gimmick and die, or just die.

Harry, i get the feeling you hold some serious hatred for motion control, lol.

While i didn't buy particularly care to buy one, they're new stuff so it's to be expected their first versions will not work properly. But i think they might evolve, and i find them to be quite interesting considering that they can cause a much more involving gaming experience, if done correctly.

This is what this topic is about


PS3 and 360 will still be around for years come and so will Kinect and PS Move. In the mind of developers these days, it'll probably won't die out and there's nothing u can do about it.

There is, I just won't buy motion controls. There will always be the standard controller to use instead of the motion controller. That and PC gaming still hasn't got motion controls, as far as I'm aware.

And if we go by the mind of the developers, motion controls will just become a gimmick and then die.
What major game is going to be released with motion controls as the primary focus?

Heck, Valve /scrapped/ motion controls for Portal 2 because of how bad it was. :V

Scratch backwards compatibility off of both lists. From what I recall, the 360 only had a couple titles that were backwards compatible but they abandoned the idea quickly, and the few that remained were basically Halo 1+2 and a couple other games. PS3 is only Backwards compatible IF you shell out twice as much money for refurbished models on ebay that come with that feature, as it's not standard.

Also, IMO, 360 controller > PS3 controller. The 360 feels much better in my hand and the PS3 is wanting better L2 and R2 buttons.

I have no opinion on the Kinect, but the PS3 move was fun as hell. I loved the PS3 Move game that my friend had, though I never paid attention to the name of it, but it had a gladiator game and a couple other fun games too.

The online experience is much better for the PS3 and the actual main menu interface is WAY more intuitive. The 360 failed horribly in thast department, IMO.


However, I still hold out that I'd rather have a 360 than a PS3 because the 360 has more games I'd want.

What's the point of arguing which console is better than the other?

I can tell by this list how horribly biased you are for PS3. Why did you not even mention Bluray? And ou only mentioned 4 features for 360 so that must mean you don't like it. Also, these:


Psp? Big deal, that's about SONY not the P3 as it's a seperate console. I have no idea what NGP is. And 2 collections listed make it better? How so? Minis are just Mii's retarded cousins. (Call them ripoffs) Backards compatibility was already mentioned by me.

And what the hell is a Lovefilm?

I thought it was about PS3 Vs. 360...



If you're think you're going to kill the whole motion concept by simply not buying it, you're sadly mistaken, no offense. You're just one person, there are others who also don't like motion controls, yes, but there are also a lot of people who do like it.



I'm just gonna leave this here...

"As of the week ending June 7, 2009 over 20 million Wii users have purchased Nintendo’s hit exercise title Wii Fit. The game has sold almost 3.5 million units in Japan since launching in December 2007 as of June 7. This is in addition to nearly 8.4m units in the Americas after launching in the third week of May 2008. Through the first week of June, the game has sold another 8.3m units in ‘Others’ (mostly Europe) since launching in April 2008.

At a price of 70 Pounds ($115) in the UK, 80 Euros ($112) in the European Union, $90 in the United States and 8800 Yen ($91) in Japan for most of its shelf life, the game has grossed roughly $1.9 billion dollars in revenue. Throw in sales for Australia and other small markets and the game is even closer to earning $2 billion.

With sales for the game likely to remain at 100,000 to 200,000 per week for the next several months, bringing in roughly ~$20 million per week on a worldwide basis, Wii Fit should become the first game ever not bundled with video game hardware to top $2 billion in revenue. The game should cross the $2 billion revenue threshold sometime in the next two weeks."



Sorta agree with you there. I also personally think the gold/silver membership thing wasn't really a good move considering PS3 allowed people to play online for free.



Said that in another topic before this was posted. But this is the internet. Haters gonna hate. Trolls gonna troll. And people are gonna argue about ANYTHING.

Oops, blu-ray must of slipped my mind, easy mistake to make The only reason I mention 4 things about the 360 is coz I've never had one in a long time, so I don't know what's available for it. I do like 360, I used to had one before from day one on launch day. Read my ''My 360 Xperience'' topic and u'll know.



NGP is PSP2.



Yep coz of the classic games we used to play back in the day.



Minis r little pocket sized video games for PSP and PS3, not avatars like the Miis



LoveFilm is a movie rental website in the UK. It's available for PS3 and british people can watch on demands movies whenever we want from our own sofas - only if ya have an account with LoveFilm.

Does that answer ur questions? I bet most of them u didn't know Klokinator



It is, but it seems to be towards the PS3

Xbox 360 also allows you to download music and movies, just saying.

I own both and don't really like either over the other. PS2 curbstomps both, though.

I don't own any of these consoles (except a PSP), but may I ask what NGP and PSP has to do with PS3 being better than 360? These are completely different consoles and one of them hasn't even come out yet. It's not like you would add Microsoft Windows to the Xbox side or if you compare Wii to PS3 you don't really include DS, DSi and 3DS, right?

I've always been a PC-person, so I can't tell you which one I'm rooting for. Though, I'm getting tired of PC owners getting the shaft over and over again on A3 releases. I'll probably get a playstation 4 or Xbox 720 or whatever the hell they'll be called

As for LoveFilms, isn't that kinda like NetFlix? Sounds like it at least. As far as I'm aware Netflix is available to both PS3 and 360.

1. I didn't say that'd make motion gaming die out, I said I'm going to avoid it by not buying it. Motion gaming will die out on its own.
2. No one will buy another game like Wii Fit, because, well, they already have it. There isn't really anything new you can do with a Wii Fit board anymore.
Party games will do well on the Wii because the Wii is primarily aimed at families, on other consoles -and the PC- not so much.
And I said major game that going to be released, not already has been released.

At the end of the day, both consoles are the same and both their exclusive titles are pretty bad. It just depends on whether you want to pay for online play.

Ok, but with LoveFilm, u don't need to.



Yeah, it's alot like Netfix. It's available for PS3, but I don't know about 360.



Well, PSP is a portable version of the PS2 - hence the playstation portable name and NGP (PSP2) is a portable version of the PS3.

The playstation portable name comes from a ) It's a playstation and b ) It's portable. It doesn't really have anything to do with the PS2. If it had anything to do with the name then wouldn't Playstation portable be a portable version of the PS1? It makes more sense to call it a portable PS1 with slightly better graphic capabilities. Even if the PSP was a portable version of the PS2, that still doesn't have much to do with the topic about PS3 vs 360. By that logic we might as well add Windows PCs to the Microsoft side

And again, NGP isn't out yet, and it won't be until next year(ish).

I don't think those belong in this comparason really, but that's just my opinion.

What's the difference? If it was a portable version of the PSone, it would have graphics like that.

I've decided to change the topic title.

So I started to read all of the comments in this thread but the one that caught my eye was Harry's post about kinect being shit. I own a kinect and I LOVE it. It has very minimal lag when playing games and the voice recognition is near perfect as well. While I do hope they bring out better games for the kinect (theres one with super hero's coming out in a few months) I still have fun playing Dance Central and the new Michael Jackson: The Experience. They are both great games. Another good one is Sonic Free Riders and Kinect Joy Ride. My friends come over all the time and we play - so don't bash it until you try it.

In my opinion the 360 is better because of a lot of reasons. We have games like Gears of War and Fable, even though the last couple Fables have been pretty boring, but they're still fun. I'm a huge fan of Gears and I'm actually going to be taking part in the beta tomorrow when I'm able to connect. I hate Halo and Call of Duty because they're both full of little kids and the game themselves are garbage. I've played the PS3 and I didn't like anything about it. I hated the feel of the controller and most of the buttons were different based on game that I've played on both systems. Also, people tend to argue about how Blu Ray is so much better then normal DVD because it can hold more and blah blah, but I don't need to buy a game for $60 and watch more of it then I play - I'm talking about Metal Gear Solid 4. I've been told that it would take 4 DVD's for the Xbox if they had put MGS4 on the 360. It's bad enough they put Final Fantasy 13 on the 360. That game was pure bull shit.

Anyway.. I started to ramble a bit. I like the Xbox 360 more for many reasons, one of them, again, being the selection of games. Another being removable harddrives or USB memory capability. I mod games so this is a plus for me and it's easy to just pop out my harddrive and go to a friends house. Another thing I like is having Netflix, Facebook, Twitter and Last FM all on my xbox. So if my computer crashes I can always have something to watch or listen to and I can check my facebook if need be. We're also supposed to be getting hulu on the xbox 360 as well - whether or not it will be on the PS3, I don't know. I also know you can watch netflix on the PS3 but you have to use a disc in order to run it. I also like avatars and avatar awards. It's nice to dress up my little character to show off to others - even if we "stole it from nintendo."

I did try it. It didn't work very well.
I had fun, but the Kinect didn't enhance the gaming experience in any way.

@Fable, never found any game from that franchise fun, and the good/evil system is pretty useless.

Yeah, nearly everyone in my class plays them, I don't like them that much, not to mention they're overrated. CoD has to be the most overrated FPS of all time, we need more Unreal Tournaments and Quakes.. the good FPS games
In my opinion I much prefer the PS3, Xbox isn't a bad console it's just I dislike it for it's features.. a lot of the games 360 has are garbage anyway, PS3 tends to get better games. Also Final Fantasy should stick to Playstation and Nintendo. The only games I like on 360 are Castle Crashers and Defense Grid.

I prefer 360.

Better games, better controller, better customer service and a hacker can't take down X-box for two weeks and all microsoft products.

Actually, Xbox Live has been hacked before, and was down for a while iirc.

I'll just say why I hate a few of the things you said were advantages for the PS3.

Playstation Home - Gets boring really fast.
Playstation Plus - Discounted games.. meh.
Playstation Move - Horrible (I tried Kinect at my friends place, its loads better)
PSone Classics - The don't have every classic game.
Backwards Compatilibity - Yeah, only two versions of the PS3 had this.
Free online play - as much as it sounds awesome - Almost every game has LAG. (Except black ops and ModNation Racers - For me)

Now, I used to own a 360 back when it first came out but the Red Ring Of Death affected me after a month.
Now I own a PS3. Which I like heaps better than the Xbox but some things just ruin the experience.
E.g - Cinavia, no NTFS support, PSN is a bitch etc.

But, these are the things I dislike about the PS3. Theres heaps of more things why I do like it
