Xbox360 Fanboy Gets Owned While Defending Microsofts System Sales Just Isn't Enough

Microsoft has come into this industry with one goal in mind and that's to be not only number #1 but to be respected. Xbox showed that Microsoft had the potential but now with the Xbox360 Microsoft has become a powerhouse and also a thorn in Sony's strategy.

[Bungie]

lol hiphopgamer is a funny dude

how could 360 fanboys get owned !!!

they're not last place

funny how he let his friend to act like a "360 fanboy" just to "OWN" him

[Greywulf]

do you win them?

[deadreckoning666]

I like this, not because I'm a fanboy but because I'm fan of owning people who try making an argument without solid factual evidence. Any individual could make an argument why the PS3 or the 360 are the best choices for the hardcore gamer to be honest.

If you ask the average joe on the street why the PS3 is better the only point they make is "the graphics are better"

If you ask the average joe on the street why the 360 is better they say "cause all my friends are on it"

There are many gamers out there who really don't know what makes their console better than the other or they do know but they just can't present it in an organized fashion.

@click2play- lmao yea the 360 owners will figure it out someday that they were being nickel and dimed. The sad thg is that they'll do it all over gain when the 720 comes out. If M$ is smart, they will come out FIRST next-generation cause if they don't, they'll be in trouble.

[RememberThe357]

And it wasn't plural he was talking about the guy in the video.

[bjornbear]

because they have a the mentality that the "1st" "2nd" and "last place" means anything,

when in reality, to true gamers, it means squat,

so as long as the "last console" is selling enough to maintain in the market, which I assure you, it damn well is ;)

So yeah, you think 2nd place means anything? Come 1st, and then boast.

Till then, you are all being owned, every single day.

[kaveti6616]

It's true that sales don't make a great game, but another argument is price.

How come people can argue that Xbox 360 is terrible because of the price of XBL? How can you say XBL sucks because it costs money?

People tend to bring money into the situation one way or the other - either they argue about consoles sold, consoles shipped or games sold.

People say PSN is better than XBL because it's free. Is that true? Does that make it better or does that just make it more affordable?

I hate that XBL costs money. I hate that companies like to swindle gamers, but if they release a good product, I'm not going to say it sucks just because I'm not happy with the price.

People argue about quantity all the time here.

"Oh, Modern Warfare 2's campaign is only 5 hours long. Therefore, it sucks." Isn't time a quantitative variable?

Same goes for Heavenly Sword. The game is short, but it was great.

I really never cared that the 360 was winning or losing. The only reason I care now is because I'm afraid that in the future games are going to be broken down into episodes (as the OnLive CEO said) and people will be forced to pay more money for everything.

That's the only reason I would accept if someone said they hated a particular company.

[SilentNegotiator]

They bring up some good points, but they do this for 25 minutes? Holy cow.

"I dont get the belts...
do you win them?"
........Certainly not dignity.

[AKNAA]

"the wii says hi rite Back" LOL!

wasn't the 360 about the same price as the wii? also with a year head start?? now whats their excuse?!

oops! erased my original post...

[Bungie]

"Take away the year head start and they will be... "

FAIL EXCUSE

the Wii say HI

[iamtehpwn]

He DID totally pwned that Xbox360 fan.

[DaTruth]

The point wasn't that MW2 sucks because it has a five hour campaign. The point was that reviewers docked Heavenly Sword and bashed it for its 5 hour campaign... sh!t, they bashed Uncharted for its 9 hour campaign!

Every time a PS3 exclusive has a less than 10 hour campaign, these guys deduct points. Why not with MW2? Why not with Halo 3?

[Saaking]

I'm sorry, but the arguments made by 360 fans are just plain dumb. The only thing they use is sales, sales, sales AND they ONLY use NA sales not world wide (you now since NA= world right/s). It's just plain silly and that is why it's so easy to "own" them.

[Chubear]

I thought you were a stand up guy. The kind of guy that keeps God in mind and heart as he struggles to take care of his business but now I see this and I'm am applaud! You're dead wrong dude and you know it!

How are you going to call yourself a God fearing man and brutalize a gamer like this? How do you live with yourself? The dude was bleeding from every orifice of his body and you just kept mercilessly laying bricks on the poor guy's gonads. That's repulsive dude.

Next time, pick on someone your own size. I bet I won't see you battling it out with another PS3 gamer when talking about which exclusive PS3 game is the best though uh? Instead you take on this poor decrepit gamer. The damned thing looked like Mike Tyson Vs. my 100lbs next door neighbour match.

Nah, how you gonna slaughter some guys like this and put the thing on full blast for the world to see this humiliation? You're wrong dude and I'm calling you out.

DAYUM!!! did you see his eye ball hanging off the eye socket?!.. you're wrong dude, you're wrong.

[Immortal321]

And no homo but I love HHG the fact that he contains real hip hop and gaming. A guy like me can't ask for more, but to only get better.

finally a discussion about what is the better console in a real gamers way, "a fan of gaming."

we all know a fan of xbox would say the same thing and the same to the ps3fan no denying.

let the haters hate

@Chubear : I love your vocab I'm reading your post 5times truly the words of art. Do you rap by any means?

[mikeslemonade]

99% of 360 fanboys can't defend their system properly. And PS3 will outsell 360 this generation. If 360 and PS3 are out for 2 more years PS3 will have the lead by then. When Final Fantasy Versus 13 and Gran Turismo 5 are out in Japan that will be the final boost that will PS3 above 360 in sales. That boost will make the PS3 sell like a PSP or a DS there.

[DrRobotnik]

4 360's later....I know quality and I Know sh!t.I totally agree that that PlayStation brand is quality. and people who latch on to 360 are just old Dreamcast fans pissed that Sony killed Sega.Hell, I got friends that are xbox fans, that never want to play a ps3 game cause they're scared they might like it.

[morganfell]

How can people make the price of xbox live an issue? Oh how quickly they forget.

What was the number one complaint about the PS3 when it launched? Thank you, case close. Next.

The laughable thing was that only narrowminded, shortsighted I need it now members of the infant generation thought the PS3 cost more. At that time the war was heavy between Bluray and HD DVD. If you added up everything on the 360 needed to catch what the PS3 offered for one price, tossed in 4 years of Live, the 360 cost a thousand bucks.

[kaveti6616]

@ Morganfell

Son, is there a point to your comment?

Oh let me guess. "But but but, the Xbox 360 fanboys were making fun of the PS3 because it was expensive, so it's okay for me to make fun of them for their XBL being expensive."

Is that it?

Don't waste your time justifying your hypocrisy. 2 wrongs don't make a right.

And learn a little about who you are replying to. You didn't close any cases with me. I am not now, nor have I ever been a fanboy of any sort, and never really criticized the PS3 for being too expensive. Rather, I lamented that I myself could not afford it. So, peddle your counter-biases to someone who gives a damn.

[morganfell]

If you are going to stick it out there then do not be afraid to get it whacked off. You placed yourself into a series of remarks that is clearly founded in bias. Stop being childish simply because you reap the results of having stepped into the fray.

You also need to grow some thicker skin and a modicum of reasoning. Where did I say how quickly "you" or "Kaveti" forgets. Can't you read? My comments were not directed at you but rather at the people that made the remarks about PS3 pricing. Although I quoted you I was not directing my remarks toward your behavior?

Here: http://www.rif.org/

Do you fit the bill of the people I am discussing that feel the attack on one pricing is just and the other is not? No? You claim not to be one of those person. Then why think you are the centerpiece?

Knock the persecution chip off of your shoulder. If I am talking about you being a certain type of person I will direct my comments at you rather than borrowing a quote from you.

[FamilyGuy]

The 360 had a year all to itself, duh, it helped them immensely.
The Ps3 and the wii came out about a week from each other and the wii sold much faster than the PS3 and even passed the 360. Duh

But the PS3 came out at $599 and the Wii at $250. The 360 was even $400 at launch, a year ahead of the PS3. Everything that's happened so far makes sense simply because of the circumstances each console was under.

To reiterate:
360 was first, had NO competition for a year.
The Wii had competition but was the cheapest "new" console by a large amount and had a fanbase for it's mario, metroid, zelda, ect titles.
The Ps3 had competition, the highest price, unfamiliar technology for developers (meaning no games that were immediately impressive) AND it's only saving grace was a some-what loyal fanbase.

Everything that's happened so far (the sales numbers) makes sense.

[pixelsword]

If you want to say the "year head start" is a lame excuse, then so is the "Microsoft just got into the gaming market" excuse.

[kaveti6616]

Again, did your points actually answer anything?

Oh, how easily people forget...

What the hell are you getting at there? Are you one of those people who bides their time for "the tables to turn" so you can start running your mouth off to the people who spurned you?

Like I said before, 2 wrongs don't make a right. If your entire persona on this site is solely to counter the Xbox fanboys by sinking to their level, then you're no better than they are.

http://magsol.files.wordpre...

[morganfell]

You need to go back and look at the number of times I stated "I am a big PS3 fanboy." Yes, I own a 360 and a Wii and have proven so multiple times. But I back Sony and have never, ever, made any bones about that. I am not the one dripping in hypocrisy here. Neither am I here to counter anyone.

The fact a fanboy pointed out a truth does not lessen the validity of that truth. And the fact that you jumped the gun without having properly read my comment still stands in evidence.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Here we go with another WTF title.

[deadreckoning666]

"Take away the year head start and they will be... "

LOL, the "what if" scenarios have already begun. I prefer the PS3, but to say that theres NOTHING on M$ thats "quality" crazy to me. Shadow Complex, Fable, Halo, Gears, Mass Effect, Splinter Cell, Crazckdown, L4D. Yes, most of these are also on PC, but there not on PS3 so their 360 exclusives in the sense that there not available on the PS3.

@Bungie- Well yeah, but remember the Wii launched at a cheaper price than both the 360 and PS3. And the Wii was the first console to launch with motion controls. Of course the public will go crazy.

@kaveti- You just owned alot of PS3 fanboys with that Modern Warfare 2 comment lol.

@Hiphopgamer- U completely owned that guy. He didn't even know what the hell hes talking about.

[Johnny Rotten]

oh gosh, now there's two wrestling belts... wtf?

[PirateThom]

It's a slobberknocker, King. Both titles are on the line and... oh my God, damn you Triple H, DAMN YOU TO HELL! HE'S GONNA KILL HIM! OH MY GOD!

[Perkel]

haha i see contributor and i don't even need to read/watch rest... he is livin in imagination land...

[Dutch Boogie]

lol HHG owns the dude so hard with actual facts and all he can say is xbox360 is better bla bla bla. It's funny cause even though he speaks the truth, he sounds like he'd riding Sony's d!ck hard.

[A LIVING LEGEND]

In hindsight neither was Obama,Budweiser,or Bungie.
Sell it,just make damn sure it's worth buying.
Sales,keep guessing,Games,continue playing.Fear,return to sales.

[onanie]

The rate at which a candidate is gaining ground is more meaningful than a random snapshot of the arena. Especially when one particular candidate's running position is simply a result of a jumpstart.

Indeed, it is about time a product sells on its own merits, rather than through the empty shell of negative campaigning.

[PrinceJohnny]

HHG had wonderful facts.

Both systems are great, one is superior. (Besides sales)

[Erotic Sheep]

I'll admit.. I fell for it.

*slowly walks away in shame*

This pic says it all really..

[pixelsword]

He recorded a debate at home and posted it on the net.

Two different things.

[egm_hiphopgamer]

This was a great debate and if anyone comes out and says sony is the best system without having a real reason i'm a defend xbox and smash them too. the truth is they both bring things to the table that's great and me being a gamer I love it all. but when people talk all big and bad It's not about the system anymore it's about schooling them on what system provides better experiences in different categories

[KillerPwned]

People just need to chill in general with this debating fanboy crap its out of hand.

Don`t fuel the fire put it out. Then enjoy and be thankful for what the companies and gaming developers have brought to us. With every console can be a new expericence we can all enjoy.

[LiL T]

How did you get disagrees for that comment, I guess they felt they just got owned too.
Keep it up man, reasonable (no swearing or name calling) debates like this with views from both sides are always good. I do like your interviews with dev's/CEO's and such but I would love to see interviews with Dan from T10 an KY from PD ( I know KY is probably outta the question )

[jeanm3306]

lets have a real debate i'll defend the ps3 and you defend the xbox and let see who win. here is my psn user id jeanm3306

[PLAYstar]

Defending on the Xbox yea? I'll take you on with the challenge by defending the SONY PS3, and let's see whose gonna win. I can bet a million that the only thing you could eventually talk about is none other than sales.

[el zorro]

That is false. The 360 is great because of its unmatched online, deep catalog of games, great controller, sleek and feature-rich interface, nice low price, some of the best exclusives, and the best looking/performing versions of multi-platform games.

I almost never talk about sales and if I do it is more of an aside and not the focus of why I think the 360 is great. The 360 could be in last place and it wouldn't change my positive opinion about the console.

[RetroPietro]

i do love my PS3. bought flower today, its awesome :)

[gaffyh]

That guy sitting at the dining table makes a LOT of sense. Sony's been doing this for 15 years, the will not let anyone down with the PS3, and they've proved it with Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, God of War 3 and the rest of the exclusives that are coming in the lifecycle.

[jmare]

I think HHG owned everyone who watched that video.

[deadlyliquidxxx]

does this sh*t get approved.
cornball ass gamer and his cornball ass titles.
Btw, bedstuy 4 eva my dudes.
N4g is a joke

[Chubear]

It's a fun debate within the core gaming community done by gamers for gamers and weather you like it or not, the HipHopGamerShow and the HipHopGamer are well known entities in the gaming industry so yeah, it's news when the HHGS does something like this for gaming entertainment.

You don't have to like it or even watch it but crying about gamers having fun with their hobby is kinda lame though.

Now if you dont' like it you can just state it's lame and move on but, you know you not only wrote a comment on it but you watch the whole thing too cause it's entertaining.

[LiL T]

Good vid with facts but im pretty sure FanB's from both "HD" camps get owned everyday.

p.s. Classic WWF style belt is boss.

edit- HAHA " Its like leasing a system" sounds about right.

[Droid Smasha]

please claim somewhere else.

[Chubear]

.. damn, you need to get over yourself my friend. It's just fun and "games" dude. Simple entertainment within the core gamer community. Why you acting like this is some... argh, just forget it dude.

It's just video games dude; live a little.

[PtRoLLFacE]

i fail to understand how this type crap gets aproved

[Hallucinate]

a conversation i thought id never hear out black people

[LiL T]

Why is that?

[Rikuson1]

because usually if black people are agueing about something its Kobe Byrant or Lebron James. People think all black people care, play and talk about it sports related things. But thats not the case look at most intelligent people now these days u get ur gaming info from (which is not sports) usually they are not white..

[LiL T]

I know exactly what the ignorant a$$ was talking about, I just wanted to see if he/she would actually have the balls to explain himself. Sorry I just don't see how people can actually think like that but I guess its how your brought up.

p.s. if it was a misunderstanding then I apologise and I would be the ignorant a$$ and th tool of the day. This was directed at Hallucinate.

[frankymv]

HHG is the BEST video game journalist.....PERIOD!!

Always has the best stories and many of his rumors are true. Invited to all major and exclusive gaming events. Most of all, he backs all of his stories up with evidence.

[Viatrophy]

Journalist? Good one. When he actually makes an article that has a title which makes sense, isn't utter flame bait and in the post itself, attempts to use punctuation properly.

When he can do the above, I'll take him seriously.

Also, being invited to big events etc. isn't as hard as you think.

[bjornbear]

this isn't news...this isn't...BAH, i thought it was some neogaf stuff or something, not HHG and his "homie"

This is flame bait, and completely irrelevant to anything in the gaming industry that actually matters.

N4G is losing all its quality with this stuff...

[jalen247]

"What is better for you, is what you can afford" Good point.

Now the PS3 is affordable so everyone can enjoy it.

[Uncle Rico]

Apparently HHG lives next to an airport runway

[spiky1228]

I don't think he is a fanboy. He does prefer the PS3 but he didn't downplay XBOX360 success in certain area. unlike some other site like Kotaku or GameInformer, its always about turning somehting positive about the PS3 to somehting negative. It gets old after a while.

[KillerPwned]

The xbox guy in the video defending it was wrong about a few but one i wanna point out. Is the fact that he says every ps3 game has to be installed onto the ps3`s HDD. Which is wrong some have to and some its a option or just you don`t got to. Now with the 360 you do have a choice to back them up onto the HDD. But its highly recommended for the better life span of your console.

Anyone including me i own a 360 and ps3 if i gotta back up every game onto my 360`s HDD (which i do). To insure a better life span well really i shouldn`t have to do that at all. MS should prove to me that right out of the box i can expect a good 4-5 years or longer out of this console now a days. But they make me feel like if i want to at least think i got a chance of that long of a life span i have to back up the games. Really who wants to do that on every game. Unlike with the ps3 like i said before sometimes u gotta back them up and others u dont got to at all or its a option.

This is not a arguement to bash anyone but just stateing something that was a error.

Good job HipHopGamer that was entertaining.

[MrBuffalo]

But you gotta admit installations are annoying. Last night I decided to download PAIN. I realise that I'm possibly the last person on the planet to get it but I have family staying over and I needed a nice simple game for them to play. It took over two hours to install the required updates for it to just start up. It maybe because my PS3 is japanese but I did download it from the UK PSN. I like my PS3 but I dont get massive installation times with my 360. Its a games machine. I didn't have the option to apply the update in the background either. It wasn't like this back in the early 90s. Back then only pc's required this.

[Orange Juice]

this video was posted to show everyone how helpless the 360 is in an actual 1 on 1 debate. The fact is the ps3 wll be remembered as the console that defied all odds and came out on top despite powerful opposition from the other side, ms and its few devoted fans. They both brought great things to the table this generation but we all know that ms will put 100% of their focus on the next xbox while we're all still wondering what the ps3 will do next. Hopefully this HHG article gets the attention it deserves

[keysy420]

there arguements are never based in reality

[chrisulloa]

Lol, hiphopgamer.

[Saaking]

Lol, Chrisulloa.

[Johnny5]

I knew not to click it but I did anyway. Is this credible? If so, maybe I should throw away my 360 and only play my PS3, but then again, I like playing online with my friends. who are these guys anyway and whats with the belts?

[nogolis]

This guy is living proof that you do not need any journalistic skills in writing or comprehension to be noticed in this industry.

After you "OWNED" him you should have shook up a champagne bottle and sprayed him with it. Then should have rapped about it, then had dancing bi#$#@ches in ps3 game cosplay. I bet the "story" would be 5000 degrees. And since its obviously flame bait hit gathering material you should go all out. I feel kind of cheated.

[Budg3tG4m3r]

HHG is just sad... well back to Infamous

[CARRIERHASARRIVED]

NooOOOOooooOOooOooooo, Hiphop! You're being crazy again!

[Punch-o]

This is a funny video me and my wife was trippin out on this(shes a gamer to).Great video Man.

[Saaking]

Bots getting owned? Nothing new. I see it every day.

[Chubear]

Nah that wasn't pwnage men that was FATALITY. The beat down was so bad I had to censor my eyes a bit. This would never pass the Mature rating for the ESRB cause this was AO rating all the way.

[Somnipotent]

blah hah hah hah, wow, i actually enjoyed watching this. thanks hhg, i got a good laugh. seriously. i know i dog on you, but this was some good stuff. hilarious!

[newarknj360]

i like dude show but hiphopgamer is biased he is a ps3 fanboy, but he still a cool dude

[AnonUser5555]

Ugh. I hate when I click on a headline for something I thought might be interesting...and get a HHG post.

It's like coal in the stocking.

[ApocalypseShadow]

but i could have did better than both.not that i care for the 360 "system."the games are okay(just don't say they look better than ps3 top exclusives and we're fine)

but there could have been many things pulled from either side to smash their opponent.but i didn't really see the power behind the words.

but as for the system(hardware),everyone knows what system would win just on that.but funny none the less.

how you get things approved so quickly is hilarious HHG.

[A LIVING LEGEND]

Honestly? Defend,smash,better,experience ,Bruce Banner...
Feel free to insult your own intelligence but try to refrain from insulting mine.
Get it 'together' and perhaps less negative criticism will you endure.
Credible you will not be until the intrinsic value of informative and prudent journalism you learn.Hire some people with actual gaming backgrounds and ask them for an opinion.......who knows?.He who never goes never truly knows.

[CARRIERHASARRIVED]

If you clicked the video, you asked for it! :p

[Droid Control]

bot got OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

[egm_hiphopgamer]

Glad you guys enjoyed the video

1. It's entertaining for everyone that's one of the reasons it was created

2. It's interesting getting different opinions from people regarding this console war and the console war to me is great and heatlhy. it keeps both companies on their toes which keeps us gamers in game heaven because the content being created is mind blowing

3. Information is what being a game journalist is all about and this video provides things that people probably didn't even know about, such as xbox360 having a 10 million head start, and receiving games exclusively that they never had before simply for coming out first, but in retrospect them coming out first is what led to the RROD because of faulty cheap parts

4. This is great and I'm glad that you guys enjoyed God Bless all of you and to the haters please keep on clicking and showing the support because i know you love me

[00]

the most infamous "game journalist" strikes N4G again.

[A LIVING LEGEND]

I agree with No.2
Fully and completely.

[Blackcanary]

Hard Facts that was great HHG i've got a 360 and a PS3 but for PS3 is better because of the games and Exclusives.

[Shadow017]

I remember the good respectable bots that talked about games in 2006,2007 but since the 360 has no games now their reduced to sales well atleast they can enjoy multi-plats

[Britney Spears]

haha hhg owned that fanboy. Also eventually ps3 will outsell 360 for sure. only a 5 million lead and you can't drop the price forever[M$].

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Who appointed these two nut jobs spokesmen for game consoles?

[horndog]

Some people just can't let go of the old ps1/ps2 era. Playstation brand just isn't what it used to be.

That xman should had reminded the ps3 turd about the 5.8 billion dollars loss since the ps3 launch and how sony loses money on every console sold, a desperation move they had to take to try and save the ps3. How is that success??

[The Iron Sheik]

Maybe you should start thinking about what is best for you as a gamer and not what is best for a company. That is why I have zero respect for the xbox fanboys. You care more that your company (which you have no financial stake in) is seeing a profit than you are seeing quality hardware and games.

[Immortal321]

the pc is not a console aka the gaming rig.

is dc universe a ps3exclusive just because it's not on the 360?

that type of nonsense needs to die with it's eye's open

[pixelsword]

when you get married, you have exclusive "access" to your wife; so if your cousin decided to come over and "roger" her, would you still consider that an exclusive relationship all because you have a connection with your cousin?

[Johnny5]

The 360 guy really did know what he was talking about when he said it was apples to oranges, although he didn't use it in the right context. Comparing the PS3 and the Xbox360 is like comparing apples to oranges. Xbox360 and Xbox for that matter have been developed around social experience. Since as long as I can remember the Microsoft product has been gunning to be number #1 not through graphics, if that was the case they would already be putting out another console with better graphics than Ps3, Microsoft knows what gamers want and its social interactivity, being able to easily congregate and play games with friends. So my high end PC is winning the console war if its all about graphics. My maxxed out Crysis game blows away Uncharted 2, but is it as fun to play no. For a couple of reasons one being I like my PS3 and its exclusives, but when I want to play MW2, Halo3, HaloWars, Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, among other multiplayer titles I rarely ever even consider buying the PS3 version of the title because I know what to expect from Playstation network, its just not the interactive and community oriented experience that Xbox Live is. Although PS3 tries, and Wii is nonexistent, the key to building that community is the feeling of being connected with your friends, which the Xbox360 does exceptionally well. If you never wanted to go online, or don't give a crap about community then PS3 is by far a more advanced system, but saying a system is better because of graphics alone is asinine.

And, comparing mario 8 bit to left 4 dead 2 is a little bit of a stretch when talking about if graphics and gameplay go hand and hand. Of course they do. But, to say that without graphics gameplay is bad or vice versa is a flawed logic just by definition. Its entirely possible to have one or the other both or neither. Peggle, Geometry Wars, Tetris are examples of fun games that had great gameplay and less than stellar graphics. Halo 3 has crap graphics considering everything that is out right now, but the gameplay mechanics and fluidity of controls, balance of weaponry, make it superior to everything else out there including MW2, Killzone, and any other FPS you can try to put up against it. Because sometimes graphics actually hinder gameplay. As developers push to have a pretty game less attention is actually paid to the other details and we have seen this in countless titles. Uncharted 2 is the exception not the rule, thank god for Naughty Dog.

Lastly, the Xbox defender had a great point about the marketing strategy, because in the real world it matters. MS stuck a knife in Sonys heart by releasing early and thats a business risk that they decided to take that appears to have worked. It all boils down to money and taking a look at Sony profitability with the PS3 is like watching a bloodbath in progress. In this generation graphics aren't all that matter if that was the case everyone would own "the all new afforable PS3 slim" but the reality of the facts going forward is that Xbox360 has reached saturation, and the truley hardcore gamers play most titles on the 360, and if they want to treat themselves to a handful of top notch exclusives they purchase a PS3. As far as numbers going forward they should all be slanted towards PS3 as the RROD errors have for the most part been written off and or fixed and if Sony does not lead every month until the end of the generation I would construe that as being a problem as default rates are likely to come closer to a real 10-15% on the 360. So, as the argument has held quite a bit of water in the past, if Sony is to play catch up in a big way 2010 is going to have to prove there are enough exclusives to warrant a purchase of a second system or bring some kind of aspect other than graphics that will draw users to the ps3, as the 360 install base goals have already been reached. (North America/UK of course)

But does a which console is better apply here. I don't think so I think it boils down to what type of gamer you are. For interactive and social its Xbox360. If you are a videophile that is only looking to play high end graphical titles Sony is definitely the way to go, and Wii has a special demographic....everybody else.

A games machine is only as good as the game you are playing on it. For Halo my 360 is the best. For Uncharted 1&2 my PS3 kicks ass... for just sitting there and never getting used unless I have visitors my Wii can't be beat!

It's all about taking perspective into account.
