Xbox 360 VS PS3

hahahaha, those games are out already and pretty "old" at that.
Best game on that list is Mass Effect IMO others are pretty meh.
My reference was actually to games in the foreseeable future, since Gears 2 there hasn't been anything worthwhile. Oh and aren't South Africans locked out from getting Lost and the Damned?

That list is fine except for Halo wars, I'm sorry but strategy games don't belong on consoles!!

RacePro, played it pretty bland. Forza is better.
Alan Wait you mean? careful the game might just turn out to be Duke Nukem Forever and the brilliand looking can be achieved on the PC with a pretty good graphics card.
Star Ocean Last Hope, probably the first "good" JRPG after the precious Lost Odyssey so that doesn't even say much as to the quality of the title. It couldn't even save the the 360 sinking in Japan. LOL at your Halo Wars comment, you gonna back the quality of the game with sales now? Its a snorefest and are for Die Hard Halo fanbois. Seems all 360 bringing this year is some extra DLC and some Wii gimmick rip off. Unless they bought out another exclusive :p

Oh so sales count now, last I checked Gears 2 was the only game worth getting on the 360 :p

Go have a look at the list of games that have sold over a million copies on the 360, then on the PS3. I think you'll notice the 360 has substantially more ;)

Sales != Quality

To many it is. Just because you don't like it (as a result of not fitting in the target market), that doesn't mean others don't. Clearly it's the opposite.

Your argument is a little silly, considering millions of people wouldn't buy a terrible game. We're not talking about thousands...we're talking about millions. If the games were dirt cheap, then yes maybe, but the latest generation games simply aren't.

Good point mate;)
 
He may have a point.

Xboxen do seem to die more often than PS3s do.

My friend's Box displayed the Red Ring of Death this weekend.

My argument silly, oh no you have it wrong. Since when do the general public know whats good. They follow the hype train and that is where is M$ is king. Halo 3 had one of the biggest marketing campaigns ever seen and thats why it sold so many and it was actually weaker than Halo 2 as said by many. Millions of people DO buy terrible games, have you forgotten about a little thing called the Wii?????

So please if you going to use that argument, then the Wii pawns all. Bring me quality and not quantity.
 
LMAO..I just had to post these pics!!

You can't use Halo 3 as an example to prove your point, as it is an extreme example. One needs to look at things in context, and in this case Halo 3, as I said, is an extreme example of hype. If the simple answer to games selling so well is hype, why aren't Sony hyping their games much more? It would be a logical step, but clearly it's not the right step, as selling games simply isn't that easy. How have Microsoft managed to put together a list of 53 games that have sold over a million copies via pure hype and Sony only 19? Hype is clearly not the defining factor in Xbox games selling so well.

Secondly, with regards to the Wii - it's aimed at the casual gamer market. The Xbox and PS3 are aimed at more hardcore gamers. Simply have a look at the game libraries and you'll see that. The millions of people who buy Wii games most likely have no interest in the PS3 and Xbox libraries and vice versa. You, clearly, aren't a Wii fan, but you can't use your opinion on the Wii to summarise its library of games as "terrible," just because you don't like said games. Millions of people do!
