For all you pro Xbox360 / Anti-PS3 guys

[Ren]

ill give Sega a pass on Yakuza 3.

They localized Senjou no Valkyria (Valkyria Chronicles), which I initially thought had no chance in hell of EVER coming to America and is the sole reason I bought a ps3, so anything they do/don't do from here on out is ok with me. Valkyria is among the best games on the system, and is the best/most refreshing strat game on a console in years.

They don't marked their games outside of Japan only marked Sonic, Valkyria chronicles would have sold a lot more had it not had such a quiet launch and thanks to the poor sales they'll probably not do anything similar again in the west. Sega can still make great games the problem is that they do nothing to marked them, they don't sell well and Sega go on to assume they're not what people want and go back to whoring Sonic.

The same faith awaits Bayonetta one of the games i'm most looking forward too right now

There is prob twice as many 360 in use than that of PS3, I'd like to see the numbers on that with = numbers in use on the crap rate... me I've got both and never play the PS3 use it for movies in my office it was cheaper than a Blu-ray player

Dude, I don't care how many times you use it. A 50% failure rate is grounds for class action lawsuit. I SERIOUSLY doubt the PS3 would have anywhere near that rate of failure.

The reason the Xbox360 is basically a brick 50+% of the time is because Microsoft took the same path that they built all their software with. Add features at the expense of stability and security.

Look back at their history. This should have been expected. I can even tell you why it is as bad as it is. They rushed it because they were trying to beat Sony out of the gate. Good job Microsoft. First != Best.

They just don't give a **** about quality. They never have.

Do you own stock in Sony or something? Bill Gates kill your dog? Why do you care? I thought you didn't own a 360 or a PS3? Does it hurt you that the 360 is taking the PS3 to the woodshed?

Get over it. Who cares. Really.

Stop the trolling please.

No, I don't own Sony stock, I have really really good reasons to dislike Microsoft, and I own an Xbox and a PS2. If you don't like my posts, then move along pothole.

No, I actually normally really like your threads on here. This thread just screams trolling though. Do you realize how silly you sound when you say you have "really really good reasons to dislike Microsoft"? You do know MS is not a person right? Microsoft, the company, has no idea who you are. The same with Sony. You're defending a company that doesn't even know who you are. Their taking your money to the bank with a smile.

Funny how you mention owning a PS2 though...If you sneeze in the direction of that system it breaks.

I don't troll. I am a troll, here is my picture.

Microsoft *was* a person until last year when Mr. Gates stepped down. I don't even hate Bill Gates, I just hate his business practices. Actually, thats why I hate Apple. (read Steve Jobs) Because of his business practices that he learned in his losing battle with Microsoft years ago.

I said I own a PS2 and an Xbox, though they are for my son. I've never had trouble with either of them.

Thanks for enjoying my threads. I love you too!

:laugh2:

That's what's confusing me though. You're defending Sony like if they were saints. Do you not know what they did to Sega? Sony was the MS of the gaming world before MS even entered the race.

Believe me, I'm no friend of Sony either. My problem as an IT engineer for the last 10+ years is that I have a special hatered of Microsoft. I still use many of their products. In many places it's just the best software to use, but when I've had trouble, it has not been pretty. On top of that, they have made many attempts to screw me (and everyone else) over.

Yeah, I'm getting butthurt while typing this post from my PS3. Nice try though.

aren't you doing the same thing right now? I've had a ps2 for 9 or 10 years and never had a problem with it. Sony>Microcrap

 

[Doomsday]

I guess I got lucky Ive had my 360 for about 3 years now with no issues. I own a PS3 as well, and quite frankly with all the failures surrounding the 360 I dont buy any new games for it any longer. At this point if it bites the dust it wont matter much, kind of sad though the online gaming is 100x better on the 360.

 

[ajk23az]

Same here, I've had both the PS2 & PS3 since they came out and have had ZERO problems with them.

 

[Kevinicus]

My xbox has died twice. Both times I was without my xbox for about 2 weeks (oh noes!).

Amazingly, I am still alive today.

No, I'm not doing the same thing Ramp. I just pointed out his hypocrisy of talking about the 360's failure rate while ignoring the fact that Sony actually got sued for their faulty PS2.

I do not defend any company that does not pay me. I own every single system that has ever came out in America from 1982-2009. I'm a fan of games...Not companies.



...Well I am a Dreamcast, 3DO and Sega CD fanboy.

 

[theogt]

Dreamcast rocked and was way ahead of its time.

Dreamcast was awesome. I don't know what 3do is and I never got a chance to plat Sega(SEGA!) cd

You know why Xbox has better games right?

For those that do not. PS3 uses a new chip called Cell Processor. (Cell Broadband Engine Architecture) This processor is an extremely enhanced version of the Power Processor that Apple used to use and IBM HPC (high performance computing) servers still use. The enhanced processor is build for high end multimedia and vector processing. It was built to bridge the gap between normal CPUs and GPUs (graphic processing unit) meaning it is far and away more powerful than the Xbox360 processor. Which I might add is a 3-core Power Processor that was spun off of the Cell Processor design, but isn't heavily enhanced like the Cell processor This processor is like the multi-core processors that comes with Computers these days, except instead of dual core or quad core, it has nine cores. One PPE core and 8 SPE cores. The PPE core is basically a controller for the 8 SPE cores. (that do the real processing)

Getting back to why Xbox360 has more / better games is because this new extreme CPU architecture requires a whole new paradigm to write any type of program for. (especially graphic intensive games!) The reason for that is, many games are written to only use one CPU. To now have eight is much more difficult to manage not to mention there are some differences in how it's managed.

To give you an idea of what I mean, try multi-tasking not just 2, or 3 different things at once. Try doing eight. I don't mean do eight things one at a time, I mean all at once! You know, rub your stomach and pat your head while writing in the sand with one foot and reading a tele-prompter. Thats, four. Add four more at the same time!

As these game programmers learn and get better at managing the Cell Processor, games will explode on the PS3. When the PS3 games are starting to blow the doors off of Xbox360, Microsoft will be designing their next console and I'm willing to bet, it will have a Cell processor too!

Soon Sony will remember that content sells the system, not stats on a spreadsheet. It didn't for for their PSP, the DS still kills it in sales and they let the XBOX into a race they were dominating.

I own both systems but the PS3 mostly sees use as a Blu-Ray player since I have a Netflix subscription.

God, Bayonetta looks so awesome.

Also, the bolded part is not true. Valkyria Chronicles 2 was just announced.

google Sony getting sued over faulty disk drives and AC adapters. But I am with you i have had 2 ps2's since launch (ironically i burned the first ones graphic card out like my 360) but the second one has been fine
