Tell me for what what reason you voted a certain one.

I have had both, although, not at the same time, and I would say that Xbox has a better online system, but for offline play I would have to go with PS3. They balance out fairly equally, however, so I will say no preference.

Personally, I prefer the PS3, however it's true the XBOX has some obvious advantages. What do you have now?

Nintendo Wii.  ;D

But seriously, if you're comparing the PS3 and the XBOX 360 you might as well throw in the Wii.
Quote from: WikipediaThe Xbox 360 competes with Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles.

No, sorry, it's a bit too bad (graphics, you can't have friends,etc.)to be put in here.

That's a little bias. That is only your opinion, after all.

There, I changed it.
Title: Re: Playstation 3 or XBOX 360?
Post by: Steelfist on June 30, 2010, 11:33:25 AM
The Wii now has the votes from no preference, I think.
Title: Re: Playstation 3 or XBOX 360?
Post by: Cypher on June 30, 2010, 11:34:57 AM
...That's because, although I believe the Wii is the worst, it sold more than the PS3 and XBOX.
Title: Re: Playstation 3 or XBOX 360?
Post by: Steelfist on June 30, 2010, 01:11:28 PM
What does that have to do with anything? My vote now is for Wii! I've never even owned a Wii!

360 is vastly superior to the wii. I personally have both, so i think i have a valid opinion. The wii is a cool idea, and is very appealing to a more casual gamer (noobs!), but it fails to compare to the 360 due a lesser online system, friends only within each game, worse graphics, smaller memory, and less processing power. Consider, for example, CoD5 for both consoles. The wii version has worse controlles, worse graphics, a worse friend system, less content (no Nazi zombies!), and no vehicles. Or Star Wars: The Force unleased. The wii version has worse graphics, less content, worse controlles, no friend system (i like to chat with my friends while playing), and you cant even play missions out of order.

As for Ps3 versus Xbox, id say they are about the same, but the Xbox is cheaper, has better games (Halo), and more of my friends have an xbox.

While I say that the Xbox 360 is my preferred console, don't forget it has the Red Ring of Death... which I got. >:(

The XBOX 360 IS cheaper, but it doesn't have better games (except for halo, of course).

PS3 is better for the enviroment. That is reason enough for me to always buy Playstation consoles.

Well, that's a new comment!

Post by: algebra15 on July 01, 2010, 10:57:34 PM
I like the Wii because I don't have anything else. I have few games: Sports, DDR, Lego Star Wars, SMG1.

But the thing I like most about the Wii is the Miis.
Title: Re: Playstation 3 or XBOX 360?
Post by: Bromtaghon on July 02, 2010, 01:36:39 AM
I like the Miis, too.  They often pop up in random games and it's a nice feature.

Red ring of death?

(GO PS3)
Title: Re: Playstation 3 or XBOX 360?
Post by: Duskling on July 05, 2010, 08:23:07 PM
That's what happens when your console dies.
Title: Re: Playstation 3 or XBOX 360?
Post by: Frosty on July 05, 2010, 08:29:18 PM
Red Ring of death is a red semi circle that indicates a system shutdown.

I prefer the 360, because:
A: Mass Effect, only for PC and 360
B: Gears of War, 360 exclusive
C: Cheaper
D: Better color graphics

I'm disappointed you didn't include Halo.

PS3, because it´s better for the enviroment, it has more advanced graphics, you don´t have to count gamerscore, it has better controls and it has Demon´s souls.

I noticed that too.

I recently got a Wii; I prefer the other two.

true but don't forget that you can make miis exclusively on the wii I make them just for fun.

XBOX Live is the best.
Title: Re: Playstation 3 or XBOX 360?
Post by: Cypher on July 26, 2010, 12:21:40 PM
I knew it would come down to this: most people prefer an XBOX 360 or a PS3 than a Wii.
Title: Re: Playstation 3 or XBOX 360?

No its not 4 even for everything except not reference.

Post by: MikeW781 on July 28, 2010, 06:34:36 AM
Ya, 4 for Xbox+ 4 for PS3= 8 people who would take Xbox/Ps3 over a Wii.

pruneman, there's no need to be like ^ that. You could just state that you like the Wii and why you like it.

No Duskling I think he has to go to the bathroom. Wii is a great consul but some games just aren't built for it.
Title: Re: Playstation 3 or XBOX 360?
Post by: Cypher on July 29, 2010, 10:37:21 AM
The wii is going down, thanks to the brand new Playstation Move Motion Controller (http://us.playstation.com/ps3/accessories/scph-98060.html).

(Forgive the excitement, but I am desperate to prove the Wii is inferior to the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360).
Title: Re: Playstation 3 or XBOX 360?
Post by: Duskling on July 29, 2010, 03:34:32 PM
The 360 is going to have something like the Wii also: Project Kinect. It's a little camera that records your movements and does them in the video game you're playing.
Title: Re: Playstation 3 or XBOX 360?
Post by: The Holy namelesskitty on July 29, 2010, 08:25:31 PM
When and if that happens I will change my vote.
Title: Re: Playstation 3 or XBOX 360?
Post by: Duskling on July 29, 2010, 08:31:11 PM
It'll be out on September 4th, maybe sooner, maybe later. Here's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinect) the proof.

Title: Re: Playstation 3 or XBOX 360?

agreed.

Post by: Duskling on July 31, 2010, 03:38:51 PM
Everyone is "trying to kill Nintendo" probably because it has had more success in the video game business than any other company in their day.

This reminds me of the U.S. and Toyota. Toyota I think is the most reliable yet affordable car in the whole world. But its made in Japan so the U.S. only wants U.S. made cars.
Title: Re: Playstation 3 or XBOX 360?
Post by: Duskling on August 01, 2010, 12:39:31 AM
That is tragic, especially since Duskling wants a Toyota as a car! >:(
