gaming What is better... Xbox 360, or PS3?

[Pinkie Pie Party 8]

I have argued the title of best console for a while now, and I thought who better to ask than fellow bronies? So in your own opinion, what is better to you, and why?

WiiU, oh wait this is last gen.

 

Wii! Oh wait it's not included here. Xbox360 then cause theres no Kingdom Hearts 3 on PS3

 

Also I really don't like either of their controllers but I prefer the 360s controller

I personally prefer Xbox over PS3 because it just has more of a fun look/feel to it. This may be an unfair statement because I own an Xbox and don't have a PS3... I have played the PS3 and seen what it can do, but I still would rather have an Xbox 360 than A Play Station 3. But that is just my opinion, whats yours?

Xbox 360. Don't like Sony. Never did, never will.

 

Nintendo will forever be my true love though.

Oh no, you did not start this flame war...

>insert meme about weather disturbances of the fecal kind here.

I vote PC (heheh).

 

Okay, to be 100% honest, I'm neutral across all platforms. They all have great games and their downsides as well, IMO.

From a technological standpoint, PS3 wins by far. It's a piece of technology with better everything than Xbox.

Xbox has a much more social aspect however. You see many more people having a fun game of, say, Halo than on PS3. One of the main reasons I game is to be with my friends so I prefer Xbox over PS3. If more people were to have PS3 however, I would probably choose PS3 except that I's have to give up Halo

[LowfatEnvelope 335]

I like the xbox more due to the controllers and their console specific titles (Halo and Gears of War specifically). I was never a fan of the PS3 controllers, didn't feel comfortable enough to me.

Technically, there is no better video game console, in the same sense that in seriousness, there is no "best pony".

 

It's all a matter of opinion, but some people prefer one over the other. Having experienced gaming from all kinds of sides, I am indifferent, and really do not have a favorite. (Well, at least out of the two systems given)

Better everything? Were you there when they got hacked? I think there security lacks in protection.

I like the PS3 better.

Always hated xbox for some reason... Not sure why...

One of the reasons I pick PS3, though, is because it doesn't make you pay to play with your friends. I don't want to pay for a service that should be free & one that I won't use often. Waste of money...

I strongly agree.

Ok except security. I should have said ALMOST everything.

Whoa whoa, don't even go there, bubs XD. I'm sick of that being the only opposing argument -- come up with a more serious refutation!

This is a good point... However you probably always hated Xbox 360 just because you grew up on PS3, or at least that is what you bought first, am I correct?

Nope.avi

Nintendo fanboy here -- Grew up on GameCube (and N64... mostly GameCube). Now THAT was a console, lemme tell ya! I just chose the most logical option.

I sold my Wii for a PS3 because I had grown to hate motion controls TuT.

 

Plus, all the accessories for xbox are so expensive !

Then the Move comes out. Plus the Wii kinda stopped making a big deal outta the motion control thing. Edited May 26, 2012 by POnYDOS

I apoligize but this is a thread about what you think is better when it comes to Xbox, and Play Station 3. The Wii is a great console too, but please stick this material...

[Guest]

 

For the reasons I stated above. (That's a "Yes, you're right. Your point?")

 

Don't get me wrong, I know my way around an xbox -- I have friends, y'know?

I'll admit, their controller is superior, though. I don't like the analog sticks as much as the dualshock 3 controller, but the xbox feels better.

The only thing the xbox has going for it is its community -- inb4 new generation, right? I don't think you would pay $60 a year just to play something that's included with the game... If the Microsoft made its online service free, that'd be great! PS3 still has the technological advantage, however.

I really don't like consoles too much -- PC is the true gamer's platform XD! Though, we all already knew that.

Well in my heart I am an Xbox dude.

 

In my mind though, PC all day erry'day.

[Tom The Diamond 1,830]

I'd chose the 360 personally. Though I can understand why you left the Wii out. It's so God dang awesome that the other two wouldn't stand a chance against it. ; )

Xbox personally.

 

Technically, PS has more titles that rate higher per average, Blu-Ray player, utilized 3D support and more robust software.

Xbox has better arcade games, backwards compability, support and online features are the highest of average and Microsoft is particular that consoles that do break get fixed ASAP.

Wii falls to the bottom of the stack with sub-par hard/software, no licensed repairer outside US/JP and fewer titles that rate considerably lower as an average.
