Sports Gaming: So, which console is the best for sports gaming?

The holiday season is right around the corner and if you haven't noticed Play-Station 3 is really pushing its product with its new commercials.

The question now is which system fits you best, and which one would you want to be playing sports games on?

[wxer]

PS3
thats way sport games sells better on the PS3

while on the xbox its shooters

[HolyOrangeCows]

*Free online play
*graphics on par or above other consoles
*controls are on par or better than the other systems
*Sports Exclusives (MLB, NBA: the inside)

[mikeslemonade]

Wii is not HD and offers no real sports simulation. 360 has nothing to counter with MLB 09 so PS3 wins. PS3 is the best sports player.

[EvilTwin]

Depends on the game.

TW10? Plays best on Wii.

Madden? Either 360 or PS3.

Pro Evo Soccer? Wii.

NBA 2K or Live? 360 or PS3.

[kratos123]

pas down the thing your smoking it must be really good if you think pro evo is good on wii

[NaiNaiNai]

Sports games. you mean people are still to lazy to go out and really play sports.

XD I mean they hired a dog killer back into the NFL I'm sure most of the people here could get in.

[Lou Ferrigno]

pro athletes play sports games.. they lazy then?

BTW for nhl,its PS3 all the way.. for madden its either 360 or ps3...
for soccer,its PS3 and for Tiger woods,probably the Wii.

[cmrbe]

wii has wii graphics and you will have to give your x360 and hour break after 4 hrs contineous play.

[mastiffchild]

Well, I play mainly on my PS3 with sports games but have to say that the most innovative footy game for an age is Pro Evo on the Wii and there's a few things they should shoe horn into the PS3 release, imo, too.

That said I'm more into playying either Fifa or PES on PS3 for the better online and not 360 because the controller doesn't suit me or many sports games either, imo, and I, too, have had 360s fail too often to get games like PES(which when on a master league session I can play all day)for mine these days.

Maybe it's also because the DS3 is so similar to the DS2 which we played games like PES on for years and it just feels right. Also, for me, football doesn't belong on a US console;)I think, even in Xbox1 days the percentage of people owning that console and playing sports games was lower than PS2 anyway. Like shooters do better on 360 sports titles often do on PS-just the way it's fallen demographic wise to me.

The PS3 if you like your sports videogame in HD. It also has all the sports games of XBOX 360 + 1, the best Baseball Videogame, MLB 09: The SHOW.

The WII, if you like your sports videogames with motion controls.

[Socomer 1979]

The system that has MLB09 the Show and other sports exclusives.
are you kidding me?

[MetalGearBear]

nuff said

[topdawg122]

FIFA has better online players for ps3.

ps3 for me

[Relientk77]

The one in the middle, in the picture above

[maniacf40]

this moron is definitely smoking crack. if the PS3 has a lack of games then the 360 pretty much doesn't exist. PS3 has like 5 times more exclusives and all the multi-plat games the 360 has. what the hell is wrong with this dude??

[chrisulloa]

360 has about 4 more AAA exclusives than PS3, and our multi-plats have higher review averages than that of the PS3.

[maniacf40]

trust me you don't wanna mess with the PS3's list of true exclusives

[chrisulloa]

Xbox 360:
Forza 2

those are some off the top of my head. GTFO with your pathetic list.

[The Iron Sheik]

PS3 no question. And it is because of the brilliant MLB The Show series. No doubt the best sports sim available today. Baseball is my least favorite sport to watch, but it is my favorite to play on my PS3 that is how good The Show is.

[labaronx]

provides an easy win for sony... seeing as all sports games are pretty much identical between the hd consoles, sony's award winning, top rated, baseball franchise provides an edge

[table]

I think alot of this is very subjective, but for me it has got to be the ps3 just because the controller is so much better for sport games. RB and LB on the 360 are horribly positioned compared to R1 and L1 on the playstation, that being the main criticism.

This is ridiculous however, "The only real problem I have with the PS3 is its lack of games. Its library really doesn’t have enough exclusives and that really kills a system. Yet, if you are only about sports games than the PlayStation 3 will be a fine choice, but don’t expect a great online community."

what an ignorant pr!ck, he cannot be serious here. The man hasn't played a ps3 in his life. And wtf? you can expect a great online community on the 360? where 12 year olds with squeeky voices cry 24/7? get to fcuk mate

[JonnyBigBoss]

PS3.

I play Madden 10 everyday and have a blast on the PSN.

[Redlogic]

don't even waste your time reading this. You would think that the article actually talks about all the different sports games on each system. Instead its some dope who only owns a 360. and yes MLB09 the show provides win for ps3

[cmacdonald]

"The only real problem I have with the PS3 is its lack of games. Its library really doesn’t have enough exclusives and that really kills a system."

What is this guy on, 2007 drugs?

[rob6021]

I noticed the same thing.. I was wondering the same thing. It's still 2007 in his little world I guess - he obviously doesn't pay attention to whatever comes out on Playstation.

[Chicago8506]

if this was an attempt to help someone choose which console would best suit them for their Sports titles...u've failed big-time buddy!
U mentioned PS3 doesn't have any games?...uhhh what titles exactly r u expecting ta b on PS3? Gears of War? Halo Titles? Fable perhaps? nah nah, I know..u looking for Kameo aren't u?
Nothing against those titles seriously, I enjoy em all...but u shoulda listened when everyone was talking about (MGS4) (Killzone2) (inFamous) (Uncharted 1&2) (Resistance 1&2) (MLB:The Show)...x-cetera...x-cetera... .
Online Community...k, 360 has a slight edge "community-wise," but I think it was relevant ta mention "1 community comes with a (Fee), Another Community is (Free).
Controller-Wise.."Matter of Preference." However; I have found playing Fight Night RD 4 on PS3 superior...
That's my 2 cents..later ppl....TGIF!

[kingnick]

I would pick up any American sports game on 360 where there'd be more players and any Euro/other region sports game would be picked up for the PS3.

At the end of the day quickly getting into matches (preferably better quality that arises from having more players online) is more important to me than an insignificant difference in graphics.

[asdr3wsfas]

On my wii I punch and little mac punches. What more do I want?
