I have both, and I prefer the 360, I don't know why, there's just something about it that I like better, as for the exclusives, it's all personal preference, I prefer Gears or Halo to Metal Gear or Resistance.

And lol at the stupid merkin saying Live isn't worth $80 a month, its nowhere near that price.

games don't need 4 dvd's

The only Xbox game I have that needs multiple discs is Mass Effect 2, which has two discs, so go make sure your facts are correct before you throw around these stupid arguments.

The 360 have stopped attempting to release any exclusives at all, last one I can think of GOW3, that's it. Online is better how? I had Live for years and I don't see how it is better, and it is no way worth $80 a month.

As I have said, all it has is a better controller, nothing else. And I own both, so I'm not being biased.

Well I can just as easily say I can only think of Uncharted :roll:

But more realistically, it's basically Halo, Gears of War, Forza, Mass Effect (1), Fable vs Uncharted, Resistance, God of War, GT5, MGS4, Little Big Planet.

Hardly a deluge of exclusives for the ps3 at the moment, although the ps3 has slightly more range overall.

Anyway. Zelda Skyward Sword > These games. :p

The exclusives on both sides aren't that great but PS3 is slighty better. GOW and Halo are just straight up crap and InFamous is not that great either.

Cross game chat is overrated aswell and the best thing to happen to me was Dark Souls not allowing chat.

Let's be honest though the current gen consoles are both broken and shitty and we've been served up appropriately rushed and broken games. Current gen sucks balls.

GoW and Halo are quality. Current gen is the best since N64 era imo. So many excellent games.

PS3 has "slightly" more range? The vast majority of 360 exclusives or the target market are shooters, damned good ones at that but the PS3 caters to a far greater audience as far as exclusives go. It has a range of shooters including Resistance, Killzone, MAG, then you get games like Heavy Rain, Littlebigplanet, MGS4, Uncharted, inFamous, the Team ICO Collection, The Last Guardian, SOCOM and so forth.
Fable is garbage and can't be considered an exclusive franchise as only 2 is an exclusive; Fable 3 was terrible, 2 was ok and 1 was pretty good, but they'd be considered better if Molyneux wasn't an arrogant moron.
You also fail to mention other major exclusives like Heavenly Sword (as far as launch titles go) WipeOut, Motorstorm, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, etc.
I appreciate my Xbox as much as my PS3 and even most Xbox fanboys admit comparisons between the range and depth of exclusives is foolhardy.

The most recent 360 exclusives are Forza and Gears, with Halo coming out in under a week. But realistically, no other major exclusive has come out this year.
Uncharted, Resistance 3 and the Team ICO Collection are the only ones that came out recently. However, Littlebigplanet 2, inFamous 2, Killzone 3, Motorstorm Apocalypse and a few others have come out this year.

The difference between Microsoft and Sony over the past few years regarding exclusives has been Sony's focus on many franchise and Microsoft's focus on a small core group. Over the past three to four years, the PS3 has had several more exclusives and unique IP's released per year. The funny thing is, Halo and Gears of War each sell millions more per franchise.
I remember a particular Microsoft official remarking that Sony's big five can't match Halo and Gears for sales, which is a baseless lie considering Gran Turismo games regularly sell over 10 million.
Just like how Gears was "expected to be the biggest entertainment launch of the year". :lol:

If you get the impression I am biased, don't, I know both consoles and I know their exclusives particularly well. That's why I own both of them.
But I do despise some of the Microsoft media officials.....e.g. they said a similar thing about Reach in an arrogant manner, and both years CoD has blasted their theory.

You forgot Alan Wake and a few others as far as the 360 goes by the way....

That is the most sense that has been made in this thread.

It won't be better than Dark Souls, Arkham City, Skyrim or Uncharted. ;-)

If we are going to judge who has the best exclusives based purely on numbers sold, Nintendo blows both away in that category with something as simple as Pokemon which regularly sell 20 million+, that's without mentioning Mario.

I never said it would, it was said in camparison to exclusives. In my opinion though, I will enjoy Zelda much more than those you mentioned because I'm a massive Nintendo fan boy.

It will actually ;-) GOTY coming up

I doubt it. Highly. Super Mario Galaxy 2 was better than Skyward Sword and didn't win the majority of GOTY awards, of course though against Mass Effect 2. However, I'll go out on a limb and say Skyrim/Uncharted 3/Arkham City/Dark Souls/Shogun 2 will provide even fiercer competition than was seen in 2010.
If Zelda beats out those games I'll be extremely surprised, especially Skyrim.

Numbers are meaningless for comparing quality most of the time. There are far better games than CoD/Halo/Gears/Pokemon but they don't sell anywhere near as many copies because of genre standards and a multitude of other factors.
Why do you think no one mentions the Wii as far as the best current-generation console goes despite it blasting the PS3 and Xbox 360 apart as far as sales go? Because it has comparatively limited hardware and online capabilities and has an incredibly high amount of shovelware games. For every
quality game like the Conduit, Mario, Zelda, Metroid and so on, there are probably 50+ crap games aimed at the casual market. It boils down to Nintendo's aiming at a certain audience, and to their credit it paid off magnificently.

That's fair enough, there's no doubt about the insane quality of Nintendo's key franchises, but I don't think Zelda will win out over those games I mentioned, it will compete though.
As far as exclusives go.....I still think Uncharted would be more likely to be a GOTY winner.
This debate is annoying me lol....trying to decide which game will get more recognition....ahh we are all fanboys at heart :)

How would we even know how good Skyrim is? The same with Halo, Zelda and Uncharted before it came out - we know they will all be brilliant, and as we are all speculating and providing opinions based on preconceptions, I believe, as many do, that Skyrim is going to be the best game this year.

I believe Skyward Sword will be the best, but again I'm a massive Nintendo fan boy who has been hanging out for a new console Zelda since 2007. How do we know these games are more than likely to be good? A proven track record, you ask any unbiased person for a top 10 games of all time and 9 times out of 10 a Zelda title will be named. The same fir Skyrim, you just have to look back at Oblivion, Morrowind etc.

However this is straying from the whole PS3 Vs. 360 fan boy flame war.

And the Zelda games on CD-i that never existed don't count towards my argument.
