Eskimo Press: It's been one hell of a console war. Countless curse words and insults, luckily no causalities, at least to my knowledge. We do, however, feel that this generation is coming to a conclusion, so we think it is appropriate to tell you, unarguably, why the Xbox 360 deserves the title, "best gaming console of this generation".

You should know, after all your in the discussion and topic right now ain't cha?? ;-)
And NO. This title belongs to the PS3 Overall. Anyone that has one knows why, so I'm not gonna waste my time writing a novel.
According to movie lovers.

Waiting for gears 4 or wait for ni no kuni, last of us or beyond? hmm sad for MS.

MS needs some fixing.. Actually they don't since xbox sells anyway.
This should distract from no new games.

Between old ps2 franchises, ps3 franchises and most likely new ps4 title coming in the future sony is loaded. Duck low becuz any game could be thrown at you in any second..
Unlike last gen when we could clearly say ps2 was the winner, this gen in reality is just so close to call. That's why there's so much arguing. Lets just say all three done incredibly well.
I'm really happy how this generation turned out with three competitors really really close (except for maybe the Wii). It couldn't have been a better situation for gamers and I love the variety and how the industry evolved with first Wii Motion Controls and then Kinect.
All I hope for is MS focus more on first party (which seems to be happening with all their studio purchases recently) and Sony... for their OS to be less boring and make me feel like I'm in a social environment (well it seems Sony London are working on this, instead of SCE Japan which again in my opinion will only work out for the better). Next Gen seems like its going to be perfect.
When the race is much closer like we seen this generation, we see more attention from those who stay loyal.
So in one breath you condemn a system for the things it does other than gaming, in the next breath you're singing the praises of Kinect and all the things the 360 does other than gaming.
I'm not following the logic here.
After the ps3 should die article, now this! Is today 1 of those "Sony is doomed" day again?
But MS has dropped the ball in the last 3 years and have focused on Kinect so in terms of games The PS3 wins hands down.
The only thing that saves the 360 is that most of the mutliplats are better on the 360 but that is slowly changing.
As an early adopted of both consoles and now on my second version of both consoles as well:
-XBox is a much better experience overall in terms of menus, online, browsing XBox Live, keeping a friend's list. Plus I find the controller a tad better. Achievements feel a little bit "better" used than trophies and got me engaged more into thinking "I will get the X game on a 360 since they play the same just for APs".
It has some great (for me at least) franchises I enjoyed in my original XBox such as Halo, Fable and this-gen IPs like Gears.
-PS3 has Blu-Ray. When I moved to UK the first console I went to "re-buy" was a PS3 for Blu-ray movies, no I do not like digital movies. The PS3 doesn't "feel" the same as the 360, it feels more "dull", "serious" with less empathised in online connectivity. Yet it had some must-play sequels and new IPs. The only major disappointment is the lack of a proper online community, especially at exclusives.
At the far end if I only had one console it would be a PS3 due to sequels to franchises I grown up with and the fact I always prefer SP over MP.
If I didn't have a previous PS2/XBox gen consoles, I would prefer a 360 most likely...

In saying that, I'd have to say the PS3 ks the best this gen. Not to sound lime a broken record, but the exclusives are amazing. Granted so are the 360's, but the variety on the PS3 is outstanding. This year also looks to be quite amazing for it, whereas the 360 only has Judgement (anticipating Seriously 4.0).
I am more of a single player guy, hence why I prefer the pS3 and why my favourite Xbox 360's games are lost odyssey and alan wake. Will be getting both next gen consoles, but it would be amazing if they released the same day lol, albeit inconvenient for those of us who aren't millionaires.
oh well thats what you say!
The 360 has a lot of things going for it, but the fact Sony has continued to pump out great exclusives means the title of best console goes to the PS3. I'm just glad I have both of them.
Multiplayer : xbox 360 Singleplayer: playstation 3
I want to say playstation 3 but the xbox also got it's gems ( Less gems than the ps3 )
I will say 360 had the best game console launch.
However 2008+ ps3 was winning every year.
The only ones who say its the best its the ones playing the console right now and not coming in here and stating reasons why. They don't need to tell people why or justify themselves
Example: If the ones that are saying is the best, are ones having Kinect parties and playing unique Kinect games. If they say its the best then ok its the best for THAT person.
Core Gamers
Media Users
Kinect players
Social butterflies
They say its the best And they're having a great time, its their preference. I'm sure these past 2 months almost 2 million people are having a great time with the 360.
The system just didn't do it for me. Bad exclusives, horrible first-party offerings (besides Halo and Forza), the console that killed my beloved Rare, paying for online, and the most unforgivable of all, the utter negligence of building the worst launch hardware in memory.
Sorry, but no.
'So, there you have it. Xbox 360 is a definite winner when it comes to being a standalone console for the sole purpose of gaming. The PlayStation 3 serves more purposes and is certainly of more use in my apartment; blu-ray player, media-server, Internet Browser, so on and so forth... but damn do I miss gaming on my Xbox 360.'
He uses his Ps3 for all those functions but doesn't seem to own a 360 any more. Why did he get rid of it? And I'm assuming the 'and so forth' is shorthand for 'exclusive games and PS+'.
Is he perhaps being very dry and extremely ironic? He must know that Microsoft have been pushing the 360 as a multimedia machine for the last three year, and he also must have heard of Motorstorm, Infamous, Uncharted, Resistance, Killzone, LBP, Heavy Rain, Journey, Unfinished swan to mention just a few. He must also know that this year we'll see Ni-no-kuni, The Last Of us, Sly Cooper, Boyond: Two Souls, Before Dawn, Puppeteer, Rain, Gow: Ascension and others... that's too compelling a list to pretend they don't exist and surely he knows that.
Adding your own knowledge as you read this article leaves you wondering whether he does actually mean this literally or whether he's playing a little game with the reader.
P.S Even though i like the dual shock a lot i dont really like the triggers because my fingers slip off them often. I didnt have this issue with the 360 controller because the triggers are curved outwards so its harder to slip on them.
nowadays you can get most of the games consoles have on PC and are better.
Plus Xbox has way too many FPS titles.. and those are again much better performance and control wise on PC.
if your a casual gamer and just play online sometimes and prefer to spend your time watching movies, then you should have a PS3.
make a choice and don't go around saying that that console is the best, grow up.
