Mods,
I know this is related to gaming but if it can remain here because it needs to be discussed outside all of the constant banter that is carried out between the two consoles.
Basically,
Sony have been a respected brand, bringing out the Playstation, then the PS2 and then the long awaited PS3. However, Sony have had many problems with its online functions and its lack of good solid games for the first year made buyers very hesitant towards it. Not to mention the high price for the console.
Microsoft on the other hand started with the original Xbox and then moving on to the Xbox 360. Microsoft recently lost out on high definition, blu-ray beat HD DVD's which dis-continued the sale of the 360's HD DVD player. Many problems arose with the red lights where the console would need to be either returned or dealt with using the towel trick (not reccomended).
There have been lots of rivalry between the two next-gen consoles, I just want to hear your views.
I don't want any games mentioned, it's about the console and how well they perform to your standards.
Let the discussion begin.
That's the most important thing about a console though, the games! I don't care what's under the hood as long as the games are great. If it's about what's under the hood, no questions PS3 wins, but I like the 360 more because of the games. I don't care about Blu-Ray, it's going to become the next Laserdisc because the general public isn't ready to switch formats and they also are buying Wiis, not PS3s, so no I don't think it'll catch on. X-Box has a better online service, sure you have to pay for it, but it only comes out to $3.85/month big deal.
I want a system that is delivering games now, not constantly telling me about it's potential. When potential becomes reality, I might buy a PS3, till then I'm sticking with my 360 and Wii because they don't promise potential, they deliver the games I want to play.
