xbox franchise vs playstation franchise

[4gan2ja0]

so i have noticed tonight that there is much discussion about which is far superior (mainly done by me). so which do you think and why? i mean xbox, xbox360 vs ps2 and ps3:thumbsup:

Playstation has the best controller design of any game consol.

[Acouwaila]

agreed^^

I think its got cooler games too

[4gan2ja0]

true dat, the new controllers for the ps3 look pretty illin, and you can hook up to 7 controllers in, wireless to:D

[4gan2ja0]

so no one aside from CBGC and acouwaila play video games and think that playstation is far superior huh?
somehow i find that hard to believe...

I have both XBOX and PS2 and only use my PS2 for a DVD player because the controller sucks ass. I have aftermarket controllers for it I tried to find some PS2 controllers that I liked and never did until I picked up an XBOX controller.
The games suck ass on PS2 also but I think all video games are played out and I do not even touch my XBOX any more.
I am waiting to see if Halo 3 is thrilling enough to buy when they finally release it next year. H-2 was much better than the 1st but was easy to beat and none of my friends could touch me. I do not play online video games.

do you mean you never actually played with a real ps2 controller? that can make or break it, so that might be why

[4gan2ja0]

I actually think Sony is on verge of bankruptcy and will probably lose out amongst the next gen consoles. They're already losing their corner of the market back to xbox and nintendo with their less than stellar numbers with sold units of the PSP, delay of the PS3, faulty laptop batteries etc. Sony are in way over their heads.

Nintendo seems to be keeping things fairly simple with their "fuck graphics and shit, lets play some damn games already" attitude, which has actually won them more legions of fans. Just take a look at the online Wii fan club. They're everywhere!

Xbox360 jumped the gun early meaning less advanced hardware development time, but greater sales since theres no competition.

fuckin weell said

[RIP ODB]

I roll with Sony. Metal Gear, sucka!

Mercsix8six, is that guy in your avatar doing what I think he's doing? If so that is easily the best avatar I've ever seen. Skink also has a real good one though.

[yoda]

i dont have 360, dont care for ps3. i play just sports games, so i go with xbox cause of graphics. but ps2 did have a better selection of games, and yes the controller style cant be beat. except maybe the SNES, simple yet so sweet.

Major drawback of nintendo is their games are all fluff & stuff, i.e. kiddie games. I like to play violent and bloody games, and nintendo leaves me limp most of the time.

[Mercsix8six]

fuck yeah man rolle with the dat and some haha na h not relay but wit the bud yes, and im talking about the face the ice cube makes in Friday remmber, yeshhhh lol

I've been playing Metal Gear non stop for the past few days. I pulled out MGS3 and did a quick run through of that, then I did a full run through of MGS2, and today I've been playing MGS on my old playstation. I still get shivers when I see old pixelated snake pull off his mask in the elavator in MGS.

And as all MGS fans are probably thinking, I can't fucking wait for MGS4 too.

Playstation has the best controller?

I want what you guys are smoking. Playstation has the shittiest controller of any system, I generally don't even play it BECAUSE of the controller.

I got my 360, and I'm diggin it, just waiting for some better games to come out, which they should be in the next 6 months.

Pay $600 for a system? Yeah right, fuck that. You rich bastards can buy the PS3.

I kind of want a Wii, those look like they'd be totally fun if you were high (or Cartman).

[slipknotpsycho]

playstation, i dont' care about price so much, you get what you pay for, you wanna spend 200 dolllars on a peice of shit system, or more on a solid system, that has proven itsself solid in both game titles, and durability...

i've seen what xbox's do, they crap out like a mother fucker... not durable in the least, and unless you know how to fix it yourself (which unfortunately, i've heard alot of people saying they've had to learn cuz they were sick of sending it into the company)

i would never own an xbox.... too cheaply made, not enough games that are intresting, i mean the only game on xbox that kept my attention for more than 20 mins, that was EXCLUSIVELY xbox, was halo, and that got boring... really quick.

[slipknotpsycho]

well i can't edit so i have to add this in with another post.

i don't know how anyone can pick up a PS controller, then pick up an xbox controller and say that the ps controller sucks... omg i hate xbox controlllers, so big and bulky, the joysticks have like no real room to move, meaning less sensitivity when it comes to online games and ESPECIALLY directed at FPS and sniper rifle-type weapons.

of course i can only compare xbox (and you could say 360, since i'm not basing anything on graphics and that's all the 360 is bringing to the table the second time around that they didn't get with the plain old xbox) to ps2, because i've obviously not fooled around with a ps3 yet.... wait a year after the ps3 is released and some more game titles are out, i'm willing to put money down on atleast half of the 360's loyal users (notice i said loyal, i'm not even including the people who were inbetween and decided against it) change their minds, and want ps3 instead.

games are where a systems at, it doesn't make a damn about controllers or graphics or anything, just the games on them, without the games the consoles are nothing, do you really think there's goign to be that many people playing the same type of games over and over, or even worse as i've seen with xbox, the same exact game over and over, no they want new games, sony's proved themselves unique and able to come out wtih games capable of stealing a gamer's soul....and i really don't see microsoft or nintendo even getting close to stealing that crowning achievment. all i know, is if you put 10 gamers ina store, told them to pick any 10 games they wanted, when you tallied it up, PS would come out on tops of all the other systems available...

[suhl]

original playstation was revolutionary in my mind best games of any system, ps2 just followed suit. not treally into video games any more but i have a regular xbox and pretty much since the day i got it it has collected dust it really cant step to ps2, for me system performance is/was never as valuable as the quality of games, and playstation 1 like i said when it came out man it was sooooo cool, much better than sega saturn(its competition) and so much more of a leap between it and super nintendo than between nintendo and super nintendo. although super nintendo is up there for some of the best games ever. al i really play now is sports games, so basically ill take any system

[weedmaster]

ps3 not out in uk yet, so according to my 13yr old son the 360 wins his vote cos its hd so much better graphics, but ps has a much better game selection

what about the new nintendo guys?

[slipknotpsycho]

what about the new nintendo guys?

i hope you're not refering to that peice of shit Wii... worst controller design EVER..... you can't play hardly any REAL games with a more advanced, duck hunt gun....

[dryst]

whats the idfference between $400 and $600 vers?

[Reefer Rogue]

Well, I've had my ps2 for so long now. I definately think it's better then xbox. Sure, xbox live may be better then ps2 online but you have to pay, so fuck that. I've played the 360, it's impressive no doubt, however, the ps3 will be the best console in my opinion. The ps2 controller is the best out there. The 360's is better then xbox but still not as good as ps2's. I'm sure i'll like the ps3 controller also.

[slipknotpsycho]

whats the idfference between $400 and $600 vers?

only diffrence i know of is a larger hard drive... but i'm sure you're not paying 200$ for a larger hard drive so there's got to be something else.

[LIP]

Never had an X box and never want one. Im a playsation man myself, much better.

[rainbows.rsexy]

i thought jaguars were the best....oops, what......uh did I miss something

[mini pothead]

I'm gonna have to side with the PS3 on this argument, just cos i really like the look of white knight story, but what im really looking forward too is the Wii, looks pretty good to me :)
