Microsoft claim Xbox 360 games better than Sony PS3 thanks to Gamerscore

Well it seems as if Microsoft have made a bold claim, they say that the Xbox has better games and is a much better console thanks to Gamerscore, which they say has helped it become a better games console than the Sony PS3.

Not so long ago Tracy Erickson from Gamepro made claims that the Sony PlayStation 3 was a better console for multi format releases. So it comes as no surprise that Microsoft would react to that.

Microsoft say that for multiplatform console owners, things like Achievements and Gamerscore are an influencing factor when people purchase an Xbox, which is why this system still sells well worldwide.

    they are probably right in many instances simply due to the PS3 newer and more complex architecture…but the fact that they actually spent time formulating and circulating a response to this reeks of desperation and truely reveals how afraid they are about the ultimate failure of their console.

    their “games” argument is all they have and they are gonna hold on to it for dear life.

    They say things like achievements and gamerscore is why people prefer the 360. Well, isn’t the PS3 getting these sorts of thing incorporated except in Home. You’re right this is childish and is an act of desperation

    I own a PS3 and i am addicted to Oblivion IV!I will buy a Xbox 360 in the near future as long as the hardware issues are solved….

  • Scott M. B.

    I loved my 360 but it’s dead now (Second one) and as soon as that Ps3 drops in price I am going to pick one up.
    Mostly because of posts like this, Microsoft seems desperate so how long before they just release a new console completely? Would fix the RROD and disk errors but the life of MS consoles seems really short.

    A couple month back sony(S. Haward) said the same sh1t.

    Thing is no one cares/knows what gamerscore is till they actually bot an xbox360. Personally, I don’t care about the gamerscore/achivement thing. All I care is fun games, and yes Xbox360 bests PS3 in that dept.

  • OMEN

    M$!!! stop your whining,ps3 has better games on the long run,pluss M$ paies BILLIONS and BILLIONS of $$$$ to get 1 game exclusive.

  • CRAZ

    Face it! You’re done MS! Shouldn’t you quit making all these ridiculous statements and concentrate on rushing your next system to market. Maybe you could invent some sort of motion control wand or boogie board as a control device . . .

    I own a Xbox 360 Elite. If it wasn’t for Halo, I wouldn’t own an xbox.

    PS3 OWNS XBOX, BECAUSE XBOX 360 HAS WAY TO MANY ISSUES EG. 37% OF XBOX 360 CONSOLES ARE SENT BACK!! WHERE O.1% OF PS3 CONSOLES ARE SENT BACK!!

    I have an Idea. Save your money and get both. That is what I am gonna do. So that I wont have to buy a blue ray, and I will be able to play the games that xbox cant play such as Metal Gear Solid 4 or Killzone 2. I do prefer the xbox360, provides more features. and the controller feel way more confortable in my hands than the playstation controller does.

    Well at least Xbox gives you 3 years warranty, with free shipping.

  • Puta Madre

    I own my 2nd PS3.My first PS3 lasted 22months. I work full time and after my job, i play COD4 4at least 8-10hrs. I’m thinking if i should buy a Xbox 360 and get it modified.

    p.s. Resident Evil 5 killed my first PS3. It’s the only game that gives me the most freezes and then it got stuck inside my console by YLOD.

  • Scott M. B.

    Well I bought my Ps3 about a year or so ago and I could not be happier.. Never really had a problem (Some game freezes and such backward 80gig) Nothing that didn’t happed with my 360. Right now it seems like momentum is shifting toward the Ps3 so it was a good time to buy. I cant afford all the games I want and it just seems to be getting worse.
    Fallout was the hardest on the ps3 and Oblivion is twitchy when I play it. I have never played RE5 so I cant say how that effects the system. But yeah I believe there is more of a future with Sony right now. Or save up and buy the next MS console which I still believe will come out soon (or at least announced soon)Sorry for rambling.

  • asfasd

    The 360 still sells so well worldwide because so many people are stupid. They buy a faulty product that dies on them over and over and over but are still loyal to it. Why? "I have to play my Halo". Microsoft claims 360 games are better. Wow…didn't see that coming.

    Thatas why their is Kinect >>.duh
