When it comes to services. Do people think these are going to stay exclusive?
Netflix was the bees knees when it was solely on xbox, now its on wii and ps3 no one cares. (and the interface is better on apple tv and ps3)
Amazon video will come to xbox.
anyone actually believe hbo go will be an xbox only thing?
An X360 will still get exclusives while a underpowered computer won't.
PC + PS3 gives me best of both worlds but another reason why I don't need a 360 is because the PC, even an under powered one, has sooooooooo many exclusives that you won't see on the console.
Maybe they shouldn't be called exclusives since its not about who paid who for it to be exclusive or timed but there are a lot of PC only games that enough to keep you busy for years.
Outside of a few third party multiplatform games I got cheat (just cause 2 for $2.99, Splinter Cell Conviction for $0.99) the majority of my pc games are exclusively on the pc.
PS3 has many of the same games the 360 does plus an extensive exclusive library. If you didn't want Playstation games you didn't want the PS3.
Because the 360 still has more games than I have time to even think of playing... even if you don't use Kinect (I do though).
I like my PS3 (and Wii) as well, but the 360 has always (and still does) have more games that I am interested in buying and playing. In fact, I currently have more games for my Vita than I do PS3 and I don't really see that changing based on games coming out this year.
The last two years have been "awful" for MS/X360 in what way... should they care more about satisfying the tiny audience who watches E3 and rates the various companies based on hype, or actual sales?
Tough argument. I came to neogaf in hopes of discussions about games not sales.
Hell, everyone talks about sony being third and ms winning, which makes no sense. State it as it is.
Nintendo won.
MS came in second.
Sony came in third.
It's funny reading some of the reactions in here while realizing how little it all means in the real world.
In reality, most people don't buy more than 10 games for a console. If joe blow can't find 10 games worth buying on his or her 360 I'll eat my hat.
Even on GAF, the majority complain about massive backlogs, yet you complain there aren't enough new games coming?
Hahahahahahahahahahaha. For a 360 only owner, there's Halo 4, Assassins Creed 3, BLOPS 2 and Bioshock Infinite all coming within a month of each other. What, that's not enough? You need more games to buy and sit on a shelf?
This, but it goes both ways.
When I discuss how many exclusives there are, many throw in xbla which I can counter psn.
But those are supplements not a reason/mainstay. You don't buy a console for its psn/xbla line up, at least not until next gen. If you do then, iOS wins.
If you bought a 360 for halo and madden then your in luck, plenty of xbla games for you to try.
If you bought a ps3 for uncharted and madden then your in luck, plenty or psn games for you to try.
But if its about third party games which is mentioned often, why buy a console that charges me when I can play those games on my free to play ps3 or soon to be hd wiiU?
"because they run better"
non gaffers/game site gamers don't know that. None of the casual gamers know this unless we hardcore fanboys tell them and start a war.
I can play all those games you mentioned on my ps3 except for halo. And to be honest I really don't care about any of the titles you just mentioned.
But I do agree that people complain about not enough games when even the wii has games to play. hell the complaints about the vita are the same, I myself have so much to play on the vita not including the psp games I never played that asking for a new game is ridiculous.
