If PS2 was "universal", why were there more Xbox-exclusive titles than PS2-exlusive ones?

You gave the forum a poll, and yet it seems like you posted just to say PS3 is better.

Everyone can voice their opinion to see which is better and that why I made a poll to go along with it.

Why does everyone say Xbox 360 is better? it isn't PS3 has better graphics and has blue ray discs for it. A regular blue ray system is about 3000 dollars. So a PS3 is like a two in one. It may have a few games right now but it will get better. These games will only be on the PS3: FF Verses, FF13. And sooner or later they will remake FF7 for the PS3.

"Better Graphics" is an opinion. Each system has its pro's-and-con's.

As to Blue Ray Players being $3,000 that's hardly the case. A quick amazon searched revealed this.

PS3 was made for graphics and good games. PS3 is a unvirsal system just like the ps2. The ps2 has over 5000 titles to pick from. Xbox 360 was made mostly for shooting games and most of them are shooting games.

All of your arguments to far have been narrow minded, ignorant, and opinionated. If you actually want us to believe your views on the PS3, it might help to actually get some hard data. Most of the Xbox 360 games are shoot them up? Well, for starters, lets find a list.


http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox360games.htm

To be completely honest, and seeing as to I dont have the time to go organizing every single one of the titles, it would seem that only about 1/3 of the games are shooters. Take also that referring to 'most' would usually be taken as greater than 1/2.

Another argument of yours is that the "Xbox 360 was made mostly for shooting games," This is mistaken because the controller scheme is perfect for shooting games, also, most of the best sellers, and cover titles are shooting games. Why? because the Xbox has better attributes that overall make shooting games better. The Xbox was not made for shooting games, shooting games are just made for the Xbox. This is purely because the Xbox performs shooting games better than the PS3 ever will. Again, due to the certain processing power and controller scheme.

The PS3 also does not have more games to choose from. You can not account PS2 games to PS3 games. Sure you have more PS2 games than Xbox games, but this is because the PS2 was the leader, and only console of its kind, during that time period. The many games were only because programmers trusted in the PS2 and were not sure how the Xbox would respond to games. Seeing as to how the Playstation was already a well known game plataform, the PS2 was a safe bet for all game designers to make money off of. No one knew if the Xbox was to be a good console or not. Hence you get a mass market of games for the PS2. This, has obviously switched now as you find the wider selection of games for the Xbox 360.

Also, the PS3 has only 46 exclusive game titles while the Xbox 360 has 74 which include the arcade in there (I personally count that as more but meh).

Not to mention the online in 360 is innovative, fast, reliable, and fun. And sure you get those trash talking little kids, but this is because you have a way larger group to choose from so your obviously going to find all sorts of people.

And yes, I voted for the 360 :P

...why is this poll multiple choice? They can't both be better than the other.

I'm fairly sure that articles have shown that the Xbox 360 has a more powerful GPU architecture than the PS3. This is mainly because the PS3 has a bottleneck in it's memory meaning it can't use as much of the graphical processing power as it's GPU can manage. Or something to that effect.

The looks of the gaming has said it all. By looking at the ps3 it has better graphics compare to the Xbox360. Ps3 will later remake FF7.

The PlayStation was the first console of its kind I ever got and I still play it for nostalgia's sake but I've gone down the route of the Xbox. Both are perfectly suited for serving simple gaming, I simply preferred the games the Xbox offered. Unless you're into all this technical stuff, half of what these "next gen" consoles offer are pretty pointless; lots of choices, all of which require you to remain mobile - or carry around a hefty piece of hardware with uber extension cords. :ermm:

Realistic graphics are nice and I'm sure the ability to you play Kill Everything IN DA WORLD 2(tm) with someone in Kuwait while your machine makes toast and showers you is nice but it has all the attraction of an old man driving a Porsche Cayman. Good game play surpasses graphics and gizmos; the pixelated, simple and glitchy oldies are still among the best for quality.

Cobra_Snake: Your loyalty to the PS3 is admirable, if creepy and worrying. Who knows, perhaps you'll earn an accolade from Sony, swiftly followed by a bounty from Microsoft. I hear they bumped off a number of their opponents' supporters last month; that's what happens when you mess with people who can afford ninjas. :ph34r:

Truthfully, I voted for both. I have a Xbox 360 and I would very much like a PS3 sooner or later. It looks really great.

But this seems like your only argument..... not to mention FF7, a remake, is counted on being one of the best PS3 Games? What does that speak towards the lack of games in the PS3 Genre? :r

Everyone knows the Playstation series were and still are very popular, there are still people who buy the Playstation2. I also remember that the original X Box wasnt all too popular...My theory is that new games on the xbox 360, such as Halo 3 have made the 360 more popular, even though the Playstation 3 system has more capabilities, but the games arent that great..

I have a 360 for games, and a ps3 for videos. The Xbox has many great titles to play, PS3, not so much, but I love it for blu-rays, and streaming videos to my tv. :D

Lol the "playstation has better graphics" argument always makes me laugh. Sony couldn't make decent graphics if they got smacked in the head with a decent graphics engine. Further more I voted xbox but only because I didn't have the option for wii

The argument that they have more games is also nothing more then grasping at straws trying to win votes because whats the point in having 5000 games if only a few of them are any good. And also I could be looking at a game that looks exactly like real life if its a crap game then the graphics mean nothing, and as sony have very little good games their graphic quality means very little if nothing.

In my personal opinion anything that has Sony printed on it isn't worth buying.
