Console War

by MrReebo » Mon Jul 30, 2012 4:02 am

Note: PC is winner by default. Nothing can beat PC gaming. This is not about PC, do not bring it into this. Also, this is not about specific games. All three have good series, this is about the systems. From one fan-boy to another, I'd like to actually discuss this in not a "Ur mom" manner.


PS3

Pros:
Can play Blu-Ray
Can play movies
Can play Cd's
Games are Blu-Ray discs, therefore can hold more memory (ex. L.A. Noire on 1 disc on PS3 as opposed to two on X-Box)
Free internet
Second largest amount of exclusives
Older models can play PS2/PSX games
Controller is more suited for most things
The Wii knock-off is better the the X-Box Wii knock-off
Better graphic capabilities
More Memory originally
Higher default frame-rate
Rechargeable Controllers by default
Sleeker Design (even if it is heavier, it still looks nicer)
Quieter
Sensible Fan base

Cons:
Yellow Light of Death
Internet hacked
Updates. OH GOD, the updates.
Smaller controller is bad for people with larger hands
Harder to develop on
Greater initial sticker price ($600)
Sony is often stupid with things (ex. original add campaign (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqkNPcUMffU))
Over heating


X-Box 360


Pros:

Larger online community
Cheaper
Controller is better-ish for hardcore gamers
Cross Gaming Chat
More DLC's earlier
Halo

Cons:
Worse Frame rate
Louder
Red Ring of Death
Obnoxious kids
Not as many exclusive IP's
Worse Graphical capabilities
Horribly Outdated
If nudged while playing a game, disc will be scratched
Worse design (can only stand upright, white and green+shape doesn't go well together)
Kinect
Controllers require batteries, or purchase of rechargeable ones
Less memory on discs (ex. L.A. Noire requires 2 discs)


Wii

Pros:
Large amount of time spent on game design
ALL the exclusives!
Motion Controls
Nostalgia
Good, small design
Cheapest
Most family friendly
Wii Virtual Console

Cons:
Motion Controls
No Updates whats-so-ever

Just so confusion doesn't descend into raging arguments, this will also be here:

LIST OF ORIGINAL GAMES


PS3

Destory All Humans!
Devil May Cry

Heavy Rain

Well I have never gotten to serious about console gaming but I plan to be after the Wii U comes out.

Eh, it's basically a combo of ps3 with the wii specialities.

It's an HD system with a lot of cool games coming out on it laik zombiU, assassins creed revelations or what eva they have now, Black Ops 2, bf3 and arkam city. It's basically nintendos come back for serious gamers instead of family parties. :/

I'm interested to see if gamers actually like it and find it worth buying.

But until that comes out imma go with the PS3. Yes there are flaws but I like it mostly from personal preference,
Not much reason.

Also this should not be in this section.

Ok here we go.
I voted for PSN because It's better, It runs better, and It's free. XBOX is just spoiled fools who can't get enough money so they make you pay $5 a month, yet they have around 500-600 million dollars. Sad aye? I'll try not to get into too many console politics xD

OK jbige, that is offensive. I COULD have saved up for a PS3, but I prefer Xbox for better multiplayer. Sure PS3 has better graphics and better exclusives, I just prefer Xbox to play with friends.

This should've went in Off-Topic, really it is of no concern to the Server. But I have to say; Nintendo 64 Beats all listed above. ;)

You should probably rename the title to 'Which one do you have?'

PS3 gamers will always say PS3 and vice versa. If you have both (with Xbox Live), you have a better viewpoint. That is if your friends play on both platforms.

Plus, the original post is outrageously biased towards the PS3 (and some of it is also incorrect). If you want me to go into specifics, tell me.

Also, the fact that you said 'OH GOD, the updates' makes me suggest that you own a PS3. reinforcing the above.

Anyways, I vote Xbox.
