One of my colleagues recently did the post Xbox 360 Outsells PS3 5 to 1: Which Is Your Favorite Console?, and he had some great comments on his post, and one of this comments I just had to post so we could all have a read. The individual who posted the comment does raise a good point, read it and let us know what you think.
Here is the comment
Why does everyone keep on forgetting about mass effect it comes out next month and so does COD4 and assassins creed and also next year, end war, Fallout 3 exclusive to 360 so who really is going to have the best holiday this year and next year um… I would have to say the Xbox 360 because who can trust Sony there always re-dating things and holding back on stuff Sony has no clue what they are doing, the game or community home is not going to be as great as they say, you can’t even find your friends on PSN what makes you think you’re going to find them on that Home game?
Wow it’s so crazy how people just forget about these other awesome games that are coming out for the Xbox 360. And why do you possibly think Mario galaxy is going to sell consoles if there are Nintendo fans out there that still has a GameCube and waiting for some Mario game to come out for them to get a Wii they are stupid wouldn’t you think everyone that wanted a Wii would have got it for the Zelda game look most Wii are selling because some fat people out there heard about Wii fitness and heard how many cals you burn and went out and bought it for that reason.
Halo3 is an awesome game and it’s not the last one people they said they are going to make some more but it’s about what happened before the halos.

Fallout 3 is multiplatform, for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. (Unless the PS3 version has been canceled and I don’t know about it… then PS3 is really doomed.)

The comment is completely biased every game mentioned except for Halo 3 & Mass Effect are multiplatform. Who knows what will happen I personally have all three systems, I think the PS3 has more leg room than both the Wii and 360. They have a ton of exclusives coming out that’s sparking a lot of interest in the gaming community.
P.S.
I bought my 360 for Mass effect & Gears not Halo 3 which is actually Halo 2.5 an average to good game by no means great.
I bought my Wii for my daughter but really wanted to play Zelda & Galaxy (actually it collects a lot of dust right now, I have to remind my daughter to play it).
I bought my PS3 for FF13, MGS4, Ratchet & Clank, & SOCOM along with its blue ray capabilities and as a true media center instead of puchasing my fourth computer(i.e. build).
Peter must be fired, period.
Can he wrote something by himself? What are he paided for? OR, maybe more important…
Who in hell paid him?
Here’s an interesting observation:
A lot of people keep saying Xbox 360 is only good for FPS and online play. But I’m not much of a FPS or shooter fan, and I hate the juvenile deliquesces that plague online multiplayer. So people don’t quite understand why I bought an Xbox 360 over PS3.
I am, however, a big fan of Western RPGs. It’s WESTERN, not Japanese RPGs, which I despise. WRPGs and JRPGs are distinctively different genres with very different play style, characterization, setting, storytelling, and other design philosophies.
Western RPG is one genre that PS3 has nothing to offer, currently and in the foreseeable future. PS3 has Elder Scroll IV: Oblivion and will have Fallout 3, but those two titles are also available for Xbox 360. However, PS3 does not have any exclusive Western RPG, currently nor in the pipeline.
On other other hand, Xbox 360 has a fairly strong lineup of exclusive or semi-exclusive Western RPGs. I don’t have to say Mass Effect is the big one. Then there is another big one Fable 2. Too Human is another (controversial but still high-profile) WRPG trilogy. Dungeon Explorer remake is another one that’s coming out for Xbox 360 but not PS3 - but do not confuse it with Dungeon Hero, which is also an Xbox 360 semi-exclusive WRPG. Project Offset. Might & Magic: Dark Messiah. Elveon.
Those are all Western RPGs. Those are all exclusive to Xbox 360.
What Western RPG can PS3 offer me in terms of exclusivity? Nothing. Nada. Not a zit.
(PS3 does have plenty of exclusive Japanese RPGs, though. But I have already noted I have a distaste for JRPGs.)
(I hate the online multiplayer iteration of WRPG as well, so Sony’s strong background in creating Western MMORPGs like EverQuest and Star Wars: Galaxies count for nothing for me. I just dislike most if not all online multiplayer games without an overarching story with a beginning and an end.)
The point here is: for people who are big fans of single-player Western RPGs, the PS3 really has nothing to offer.
Almost forgot about:
Haze PS3
Ace Comat 360
Mario Kart Wii
While I agree with some of these points, this is the most ridiculously Xbox biased post I’ve read in a while.
How does this site qualify for Google news?
Call of Duty 4, Fallout 3 and Assassins Creed are on the PS3 as well which makes your article a bit dumb.
These games are due exclusively on the PS3 before the end of the year:
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction
SOCOM: Confrontation
Time Crisis 4
Haze
And these are some of the games coming next year exclusively on the PS3:
Metal gear Solid 4
LittleBigPlanet
Gran Turismo 5
Final Fantasy 13
Killzone 2
Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier
The Getaway 3
Tekken 6
MotorStorm 2
Infamous
The PS3 lineup looks stronger whatever way you look at it. As proved by this chart http://i22.tinypic.com/2lmqhc6.jpg the PS3 has sold as well as the 360 did it its first year and that’s with a high price and no big games. Imagine how well its going to sell when there is a reason to buy one.
I understand your point but I’m a gamer I play every thing and the PS3 seems to be coming up with a more diverse offering than the others.
By the way Project Offset & Elveon also on PS3.
Also what is that blindless epidemy, all people talk about games for xbox 360 like they were exclusives…
COD4, Assassins Creed and Fallout 3 will make to the PS3.
Also games that were called exclusive like lost planet, oblivion make later to the PS3.
Bioshock and Orange Box are PC games that were ported to the xbox 360.
Even gears of war and halo will be released for PC, and the PC version of gears of war will be the full game, not that rushed version that make to the xbox 360.
Please tell me 1 single game i need a xbox 360 to play it.
I know that if i want to play mario and zelda i must buy nintendo or never play it, cause they are EXCLUSIVES.
God of War and Final Fantasy XII only can be played only in playstation.
xbox fanboys, let me tell you some true EXCLUSIVES to the ps3, that never will be ported to PC or other console:
heavenly sword, motorstorm, resistance fall of man, ratchet and clank future tools of destruction, liar, the eye of judgment, folklore, uncharted drakesfortune, warhawk, F1 formula 1 championship…and thats just the first year.
now tell me 1 true EXCLUSIVE xbox 360 game, that i must buy a xbox 360 to play it.
Look at all the bitter PS3 fans crying out there about how their system is superior, well guess what?…..You’re right…..BUT! would I pay the hefty price for a system which main exclusives haven’t arrived yet? Sure you might of have lower the price of the system, BUT is it too late? the XBOX 360 and the WII already have found a mass popularity and it would outgrow the PS3 loyal fans because more and more are converting to the greatness of XBOX 360. I love the PS3, but at the price it’s in, I would rather Buy an XBOX 360 or WII anyday.
P.S. What is it with killzone 2?
The first one sucked, so what makes sony think we wanted more?
