[NYC_Gamer]

everyone with common sense can agree...PS3 offers the best quality/variety of exclsuives...but N4G stock-holders rather have sales data instead of games..

[MR LOOKINGBILL]

of course they do its sales that drive business.

[diatom]

and good games that drive gamers..

[Information Minister]

Do you play games for fun or for business? Bobby Kotick would love to know.

[Sarcasm]

It's true that sales drive business but should never be at the cost of quality. Unfortunately people like Kotick exist and is out there to milk and farm as much money as possible.

[BattleAxe]

@ Mr.lookingbill,

Shut up...

@HHG,

A very well put together piece. PS3 is blowing away the competition to the point that its just laughable that anyone would say otherwise.

My clear second choice for a platform is non other then STEAM. Third Choice is the PSP, followed by the Wii, and then the 360. But since MS will probably release most of the HALO and GEoW games on GFWL at some point, that pretty well nullifies the 360 for me.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK!

@ HHG

[ozps3]

As a consumer, PS3 and Sony provides value for money all round home entertainment that other consoles don't.

[nix]

everyone knows that. only the blind ones don't want to believe it.

[Kurt Russell]

PS3 is definitely best value for money, but it isn't the definitive console to own... you still need to own multiple consoles if you don't want to miss out on any quality titles.

[Weaksauce1138]

If you pigeon hole your arguement you can find any victory. Playstation 3 has won this generation in terms of alphabetically.

[Treyb3yond]

Although sales are important, games are the most important to us. People need to realise that sales do no=quality. They are very separate.

[outrageous]

Sony is at the bottom for a reason and that's because it's not a very good console with alot of identity issues...they're motto says it all..." it only does everything "...the part they forgot was the part about not doing any one thing great...lol...Multi-platform games made on the 360 are the highest selling games on the PS3...Hmmm...wonder why???

M$, starting last gen, had a vision for the future...a future M$ is dragging Sony into kicking and screaming. Sony has made numerous mistakes this gen and for a while many in the industry was worried Sony would not recover from. Not many companies could sustain the MASSIVE loss of money ( billions ) Sony suffered this gen.

In terms of quality, M$ is the only system to offer the best of both worlds. Best on line, controller and OS. Best line up of games both exclusive and multi-plat. Now with the most advanced add on ever in gaming releasing in November...KINECT. Windows phone 7 coming shortly as well with XBL connectivity and a return to PC gaming with rumors of ALL M$ published games going to the PC...games like PGR, Gears, AW, All Rare games, Crackdown, Fable, Forza, and the big one Halo.

Sony continues to sit around waiting for M$ to come up with the ideas and software to implement them ( cough..Netflix..cough )and now in there wisdom thinks a new 3DTV is in order with glasses that cost $150 a pop...O_o...I wonder how that Toshiba 3Dtv is gonna be received next year...NO GLASSES NEEDED...Oops.

You like your PS3...fine. I'm not happy with the $600 ( when I bought it ) behemoth. Where are all the games we were promised??? Why would I want to buy PS2 games like ICO at full price when they should be FREE with backwards compatibility.

[IcarusOne]

::shakes his head and walks away::

[AAACE5]

Any other time, people hate HHG! But for some reason, they don't mind him this time... I'll never understand it!

[oldjadedgamer]

@outrageous

"most advanced add-on ever"

Just saying that every new add on to anything is always more advanced than anything old. Common sense.

This 2010 car is so much more advanced than my 2003. Well Duh.

[DigitalRaptor]

"Sony NUMBER 3....4 a reason..."

Xbox 360 launched a year (and a half) earlier than PS3 and it's only a laughable 3 million ahead with this in mind. You can call that an excuse all you want, but it's the undisputable truth. I wonder what the better selling console is. Hmmm.

"Sony is at the bottom for a reason and that's because it's not a very good console with alot of identity issues...they're motto says it all..." it only does everything "...the part they forgot was the part about not doing any one thing great...lol.."

Not a good console, yet the games have become increasingly better year after year, and are some of the highest rated and enjoyable experiences this generation?

"Not many companies could sustain the MASSIVE loss of money ( billions ) Sony suffered this gen."

Bwahahahah. You do realise, Sony is a bigger company than Microsoft. They are both multi-BILLION dollar corporations. Do you really think Sony's losses this gen did anything they couldn't sustain? What a joke!

"In terms of quality, M$ is the only system to offer the best of both worlds. Best on line, controller and OS. Best line up of games both exclusive and multi-plat."

*clears throat*
More polished online service? Yes. PSN only lacks a couple of features that XBL has, and you're telling me that's worth $60?

Best controller? That your opinion, and only your opinion. In fact I would say it's only better for shooters but then again it's personal preference. Has the Xbox controller won any awards? No. Has the DualShock 3? I think so!

Great Xbox 360 has a user-friendly OS. Some people prefer the simple functionality of the XMB, but as I said, it's personal preference. But hey at least PS3 owners don't need to look at dashboard ads.

Best lineup of games? Yeah, if you only like shooters.
You're seriously telling me that the 360 has a better lineup of games right now and going into 2011? you MUST be on crack or has some serious mental delusion.

[dangert12]

We don't need to be told at all,
This Gen made me realise SONY don't fuck about
SONY = QUALITY

and thats not just when it comes to consoles

[Natsu X FairyTail]

yep.

[iammason]

Their cell phones are shit IMO.

[fooltheman]

that eriksons faulth not sony's lol

[Beefstew4u]

The new Xperia X10 ain't a bad phone... but it is a girl phone.

[killershadow117]

Is that why they are ripping off the Wii?

[TEFL0N_D0N_81]

Watching movies in the theater in 3D makes you want it at home.. Right... cuz I always wanted to see Mrs. Doubtfire at home in 3D. If they're only releasing a dozen movies in 3D per year, I'm not going to waste any money on that crap.

Games in 3D? It'll be make or break for me with KZ3.

[BattleAxe]

Amen Bro.

[insomnium]

I remember you guys being the worst of x360 fanboys at one time in 2006ish or 2007ish iirc. You get a ton of respect with comments like these.

I'm a Sony fan or a PS fan to be precise. I love good games and good tech. Last gen I wasn't around (didn't have the internet) but if I had been I would've stood by the xbox since I love that console. I doubt MS was this annoying (and backstabbing, greedy sob) back then. They clearly had a vision with the xbox but it was too early for standard HDD on consoles. Way too expensive.

Why am I telling you this? Hell if I know LOL! I just felt like it I guess....

[Seferoth75]

Best quality? LOL fanboy comment.

Quality sales like crap? It must because few games on PS3 sale at all.

Oh well you kids continue to live in your happy fanboy land where 3rd place is first.

Just shows which gamers are gamers and which ones are pathetic losers looking for any excuse to justify their purchase...

Notice 360 and Wii owners don't have to have weekly articles to convince them they made the right choice...

[Denethor_II]

Someone can't afford a PS3. It's okay its not your fault.
Edit: When you type 'sales like crap', do you mean sells?

[Seijoru]

Most big name PS3 exclusives hit the 2 mil mark you troll.

[thebudgetgamer]

when the gamcube was not selling at 99 bucks did you not enjoy regardless?

[cliffbo]

Sef, do you realize how stupid comments like that makes you look? when you think something that is inferior is better, that's a fanboy, when you know that something is better because it is, that's just fact

[LogicalFanboy]

"Just shows which gamers are gamers and which ones are pathetic losers looking for any excuse to justify their purchase..." ps3 gamers are the ones with the QUALITY games to play, xbox gamers are the ones who plays sales all day who needs to look at how well a medicore game like Halo Reach sold just to justify their purchase

[thebudgetgamer]

where does that put me?

dont be mean.

[Information Minister]

A gamer that is a gamer that is a pathetic loser that at least knows how to spell properly?

[Bumpmapping]

.

[Hanilugtehul]

ssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .....! tsk tsk little child why are you not in bed dreaming about the ps3 you cant afford.

[Areeb11]

we're getting told by guy with sales charts as profile picture.
and yes there are no 360 articles pointing to sales justification;
that's partly because everyone's obsessed with Halo: Reach-Around and how its teh best gam3s evar!!!!

[Areeb11]

teeeeeeeeheeeeeee

[ChickeyCantor]

"seferoth
ssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh h .....! tsk tsk little child why are you not in bed dreaming about the ps3 you cant afford."

O come on, the only reason you have a PS3 is because your mom bought you one.
(See how that works?)

[morganfell]

3rd place? You might want to have that remark bronzed and put on a plaque because with Sony only 3 million behind and having just announced they are ahead of their curve to hit 15 million this fiscal year then do the math. That means they have sold over 7.5 million in 6 months.

I love guys like you that talk about 3rd place when you are only months away from landing in said spot.

[MaximusPrime]

3rd place?

i never heard of that here in Europe.

PS3 is 1st here as well as rest of world. only North America is hard to crack for Sony. Thus remaining 3rd place overthere.

[iPad]

You're obviously not a real gamer.

[jambabie69]

anticooper- seferoth has been on this site a good while, and i am pretty sure he paid 250 for his wii, and since the ps3 has been 300 dollars for over a year, i am willing to bet he could afford one.

hell anyone can afford one with a minimum wage job, or less lol.

anticooper, this isn't 2006 anymore, ps3's aren't 600 bones. truth be told your parents bought you yours, and let me guess you got a slim one, the cheap one??? just an fyi i paid 399 for mine, and back in 07 i paid 399 for a 40 gig. i also paid 399 for my 360.

funny how sony fanboys think NO ONE CAN AFFORD A PS3, they are cheap! i mean aren't you guys the same ones that claim " it's got the most value" so wouldn't that mean it's cheap....especially for it's features?

the hypocrisy is amazing on here. :)

look at den_uk another one............-rolls eyes-, and thinks these sony boys need games to play. thing is when gt5 comes out, they will still be on n4g 24-7, just like now, aren't you guys suppose to be playing with your move?

cause in a bit i sure will be playing halo reach.

you all have a good night spewing non sense and delivering your hate, and talking up sony so you can sleep well tonight. lol

:)

[aceitman]

and 4 million behind and catching ps3 will come and catch and pass 360 from here on out watch

[N4g_null]

So I learned something today girls who bought wiifit have more money than sony fanboys. Seriously if they do get second after 4 years that will still be hilarious lol sorry. You guys are bragging about second place a quity no one wants to buy. Your getting a little silly now.

Cut your loses and care about your games no one is going to buy your system just because you like it so chill out. Stop attacking the systems in front of you.

Sure you like it but stop attacking your fellow game fans. You are not getting any new fans. You are just making your system niche.

[N4g_null]

@aceitman come on it's a year lead and it 4 almost 5 years later. The wii pasted it the first year. What is stopping the ps3? It's been cheap for a year now? And the quality oh my the quality it's like the cell can end wars or some thing!

Sony should just make a box called quailty and sell it. I think that would sell better than it's exclusives.

Come on Sony fanboys buy some damn games and go buy move damn what is wrong with you guys. Do you think Sony is Justin beaver or something? Sony needs a feel good rub on the back. No they need your money. Stop wasting time flaming people and go buy move before it's too late.

[morganfell]

Amazing. One troll attacks the PS3 for not catching the 360 that had a year head start in Japan and the US and an year and a half head start everywhere else. Yet this same person says nothing of the 360 that is losing it's grip despite those same head start times. The same 360 that has been getting outsold since day one.

Where are his comments that MS should just throw in the towel because they are blowing such a whopping lead.

The same 360 that knows nothing, and I borrow his phrase, about quality in a box.

[gta_manic]

at least this troll is well feed, looking pathetic usually get you scraps doesn't

[cooperdnizzle]

Hahaha third in sale's but best in quality! People are stupid and will buy anything~ Xbox is like having a Chev up against A Porsche. Yea i can go out and buy a Chevy but that don't make it better! If ya could have afford a ps3 when it came out you would think it was amazing just because "YOU" had one. People are all the same. Hey i have this so it must be the best! Pshhhhh

[bustamove]

Damn, easy guys. I think you owned him too hard. xD

I also like how he doesn't come back to defend himself.

[avengers1978]

it's funny your name is from a game that was a Playstation exclusive. @seferoth.

[frostypants]

I own a 360 and a PS3.

Any claim that the PS3 isn't superior quality-wise is lying to themselves, or is offering an uninformed opinion. This goes for hardware AND software (though the PS3 didn't take over the latter until the last couple of years).

[n4gno]

Pathetic fanboyz in denial don't want to see that ps3, who has obviously better quality hardware and software (and way more variety and exclusives) : sell better in software, and hardware department, then xbox in 2010 !

they don't want to open their f... blind eyes, it's sad, but perhaps it's to protect their hurted brain : when they have said "sony is doomed, bluray is doomed, sony has no game, ps3 don't sell games" since day one, and every single fact for more than 4 years is the opposite, they have to lie to themself to support the reality :)

[LordGamer]

Continue to live in a world where your parent company obviously doesn't give a rats ass about quality and ships out shoddy merchandise and wont even play coop on their substandard 4 gig kiddy model 360. BYE BYE microshaft- PS3 FOR THE WIN>

[Heisenberg]

quit fucking abusing the term. I realize it's the only way gamers feel they can insult each other, but it's so old, and it's gotten to the point where if you have any opinion whatsoever you're called a fanboy.

[Gue1]

Quality or not, Halo and Call of Duty it's all of what the masses care about...

[theEx1Le]

Don't forget Fifa and Madden

[lowcarb]

"everyone with common sense can agree...PS3 offers the best quality/variety of exclsuives...but N4G stock-holders rather have sales data instead of games"

How about everyone with an extreme bias can agree.

[DigitalRaptor]

How about anyone with frickin common sense.

[EvilBlackCat]

Better than Microsoft OF COURSE

Remember the experience that Microsoft have is in SOFTWARE.

Better than Samsung? NO

Better than SHARP? NO

Better than Canon? NO

Better than Kenwood or Pioneer? NO

The only place they shine is on DVD/Blu Ray Movie players but hey there is good competition now.

NOW on the console arena in my opinion BOTH are great consoles.

FUNNY that i have a PS3 and i really dont care about renting Movies in Blu Ray. WHY? i download them fools!

The reason why i have a PS3 is because of God of War and Ninja Gaiden. NOT because of Blu Ray.

because of move? http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Dont be a fool i really dont care about kinect either.

[Killzoned]

Off topic, Why would you compare them to Samsung, SHARP and Cannon loool!
We're talking about Consoles/Gaming here son

Sony offers better quality Exclusives than MS. Every 360 owner would name Halo Gears and Maybe even Fable but thats it?
Great game yes but Sony offers much more at the same quality or even higher, Resistance, LBP, GT5, KZ2, Rachet and Clank, Modnation Racers, Uncharted, God Of War, Infamous, Heavy rain, Heavenly Sword and so on, Socom.
I own both consoles but on my 360 i got a lot of Multiplatform yes because we all know the majority of Multiplatform performs better on 360 but in exclusivity, I got Halo's, Gears and Fable. I've been waiting for quality exclusives for a long time, i wanna see some new IP'S from Microsoft but am very disappointed by their Third party exclusives because they suck, Ninety Nine is an example, too Human, CrackDown etc
I don't have a particular favor to any Console, I just love gaming, So come on Microsoft Shove some new games at me so i can SHow these PS3 fanboy the deal. I've been on my PS3 much more now a days (Of Course am on Halo Reach 2 haha) because of so much quality games that are being released.

[macusa22]

sony makes the best quality, next time you go to best buy, ask them who makes all the product for those samsung TV. Geek Squad just opened up my Samsung 50' to replace the mother board and I notice that all the parts on my TV came from Sony. If i remember correctly, Sony and Samsung have a partnership with the Hi Def TV.

[eagle21]

Nintendo is quality too. Go look it up in reviews fanboys. And sells a ton. :)

[jambabie69]

seen you on some you used to be a sony fanboy yaself....anyways, i don't have a wii or whatever, but no matter what i will always have respect for nintendo.

i am 30 and grew up with nintendo so i will always give them props for some of the best games and franchises on earth. hell if it wasn't for nintendo who knows where the industry would be?

they brought it back that's for sure.

anyways have a good one

[eagle21]

I have never been a fanboy, just a realist. lol

My two most anticipated games of 2011 are The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword AND The Last Guardian equally. Very few dudes on this site would agree with that. Think I care?

You have a good one too.... :)

[DaTruth]

Thought this was the HHG show, but I read 20 comments and haven't seen anyone making fun of him!

This is like bizarro world N4G!

[DelbertGrady]

That's because he's praising Sony.

[jut420]

Actually Delbert, about 99% of the time he's saying something good about Sony, it's just for some reason this title didn't get people riled up like it usually does.

[ThatsGaming]

So how come when it comes to quality ratings based on Metacritic, SCEA is one point below MGS over all their game releases?

http://www.metacritic.com/c...

vs.

http://www.metacritic.com/c...

I can't even agree Sony has more variety...

Banjo Kazooiee (Platformer), Viva Pinata (Simulator), Alan Wake (Action/adventure), Forza, Halo Wars (RTS), Lost Odyssey (JRPG), Fable III (WRPG), Shadow Complex (Side Scroller), Project Gotham Racing (Arcade Racer), Crackdown 1/2 (Sandbox), Toy Soldiers (Strategy), Catan (Board Game), Kameo (Action/Platform), Blue Dragon (JRPG), Uno/Uno Rush (Card), etc. are a very good sign of genre variety from MS this generation.

I would agree that Sony has created some new genres this generation. Heavy Rain and Flower are great examples where Sony is leading in creating new genres. MS seems to be sticking with traditional genres.

[goalweiser]

LMAO. You're using a website that is plagued with over-rated reviews of Xbox 360 games.

Let's go through those titles and compare the quality and variety to the PS3 library .

Hereos on the Move, Sly Cooper, Jax and Dexter, Ratchet and Clank....that's all counter to your one Banjo Kazooie.

You guys have Gears of War and Halo exclusive.

PS3 has Uncharted, Killzone, SOCOM, MAG, and Resistance.

You guys had some Ninja game nobody played and Kameo.

We have God of War, ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian, and Heavenly Sword.

Infamous > Crackdown
Gran Turismo > Forza
Metal Gear Solid 4 > Splinter Cell
Heavy Rain > Alan Wake
Singstar > Lips

Yes there might be a few games on Xbox exclusively that are better than something offered on PS3 but there's areas that Microsoft can't even compete in still.

LittleBigPlanet, Twisted Metal, Afrika, DC Universe Online, Buzz! Quiz TV, Eye of Judgment, Modnation Racers, MotorStorm, Warhawk,and Yakuza

All those game represent genres that Microsoft has nothing (1st party or 3rd party exclusives) to compete with.

I think the games speak for themselves. The quality and the MOST variety is on the PS3. The Xbox 360 isn't even close yet.

[ThatsGaming]

@goalweiser...

Metacritic is the most trusted source of review aggregations on the planet. They are always quoted on gaming forums everywhere... NeoGaf, here, everywhere.

I'm not saying PS3 sux like you seem to be saying about the 360. I'm just pointing out that PS3 game quality is subjective, and at least one very highly trusted source worldwide disagrees that PS3 quality is heads over heels above 360.

I have both consoles. And play games on both of them. I see way equal variety on the 360 then the PS3 (but in different genres). Variety is dependent on genres that you are looking at. Where are the RTS and SRPG games on the PS3?

One thing I think people confuse is new genres and creativity. In those categories I have to go with PS3. There are many new genre games and they take more chances on creativity (Heavy Rain, Flower, Lair, etc.) on PS3.

Maybe you should buy a 360 yourself. You might find it enjoyable too. You don't have to be a straight-up fan of one or the other you know... You can like them both...

* Infamous is different then Crackdown - Not better, they are in the same genre but focus on different gameplay elements. Infamous is about powers, Crackdown is more about finese. Personally, I like Crackdown more. But both are great games.
* GT > Forza - Yep. No doubt about it, Polydigital are the king of racers. But Forza is not that far behind.
* MGS and Splinter Cell are not comparable. MGS is futuristic and fictional whereas Splinter Cell tries to fit in current time and use realistic gadgets and weapons. They are both great games. I like having both in my collection.
* WTF? Comparing Heavy Rain to Alan Wake... An interactive movie to a episodic action game? Have you played Alan Wake? It has NOTHING in common with Heavy Rain. I like Heavy Rain, but I enjoyed Alan Wake way more.
* LIPS > Singstar (Wireless mics, mics motions in game, more network features, way more downloadable songs, and way friendlier to play - Obviously again, you read a lot but don't play both games)
* Halo and Killzone should not be compared. I like Halo more, but Killzone has strong points too. Microsoft is making this series into a entertainment machine, Killzone is just trying to offer something different in the genre.
* Gears and Resistance should not be compared. Gears is obviously more popular, but I like Resistance for different reasons as well. Nothing beats the chainsaw lancer in my books.

[insomnium]

Wouldn't Valkyria Cronicles qualify as a SRPG?

Anyway I see your point. The PS3 has way more and better great games all around the genres but the x360 has games too. They get neglected however. Many times they are lucky to hit even a million. Shooters on the other hand sells in the 3.5-10 million range.

On the PS3 almost all the exclusive games shooters and non-shooters get 1.5-5 million in sales. There's something to think about.

There's no point in trying to be a wiseguy and start saying "I thought sales don't matter" now.

That's the only aspect of sales that matters to us if we are gamers. Anything above 1-1.5 million is a bonus and the development has been paid for with those sales already. There's no need for a pissing contest. I just want sequels to the great games I love. THAT'S all that matters.

This entire sales argument started after the x360 fanboys realized their argument of "LOL teh PS3 haz no gamezz" was no longer valid and even turned around on the x360. They had to come up with SOMETHING.

[skip2mylou]

..... Dude metacritic admits to changing the scores on if they like the reviewer and crap

[fuckitimout]

if you have the fat ps3 you will get the ylod and we don't e en have to bring up 360 failure rate. Wii ftw

[stuntman369]

All consoles die but my 60gb ps3 is still running as good as the day i got it but my wii broke 2 years after i got it and i think the ps3 and wii have about the same failure rate

[RageAgainstTheMShine]

Completely Agree 1000 %

The Sony products have incredible quality hardware wise and software wise.

[punkpop101]

Fuckin ps3 fanboys do you stay on a party chat and hit agrees and disagress groupage.But I forgot 360 gamers play Halo Reach right now and don't have time to answer to your shitty comments.Neither any real gamer will.

[Hanilugtehul]

and you dont sound like a fanboy?!LOL!!

[MadMan00]

More opinions are cool...There's only console wars is no life losers that have no life and can't just play games with out...you know crying like little girls over a game...Funny thing is...that's not an opinion that's a fact because it happens here all the time.

Without sales gaming would be shit...PS3 fanboys always say it has nothing to do with sales because because there games don't have as many sales as 360 games...And you know that is PS3 was winning in game sales it would be the first thing the fanboys would say...it's nothing but bias talk.

360 has more RPGs then ps3...so wouldn't 360 be for RPG fans? Or do you wanna be a stereo-type and assume Halo is the only thing 360 owners want?

[SL1M DADDY]

It may not render quick sales but it will add to longevity of sales. This has been the Sony way for three generations and will be there way of business well into the future.

[mikeslemonade]

Considering the Wii doesn't count, it's only a 2 head console race. PS3 will be 1st place before the generation ends.

[MRHARDON]

Good one....you gave me my laugh for today :)

and no im not a Microsoft fan.....nor Sony...nor Nintendo.

When it happens we can say what you are saying...but intil then, its just a joke.

[evrfighter]

lol has it really gotten to the point where they pretend consoles don't exist now?

regarding his blog

"mission accomplished" banners anyone?

[mastiffchild]

Well, I don't agree the Wii doesn't count and don't know what will happen with sales from now on but since launch the PS3 HAS consistently reduced the sales gap the 360 enjoyed from launching so I also don't see that it's too much of a fanboy assertion to think that it will one day catch it, is it?

Also, don't understand why sales have been brought into this when the argument is about quality which isn't directly tied to sales-if it's linked at all. Seems to make that a lot of crappy games sell better than some amazing ones(is it a sane world where Okami can't sell as many copies as Just Dance?)and also that some great ones also sell well-sales doesn't, then, seem very relevant to the number of sales you manage and I reckon, in many cases, it's got a lot more to do with marketing and branding than quality of anything in gaming.

Another thing:why do we have to have a "winner" in an area almost entirely down to personal tastes? E3, GOTY and all the things that aren't actually measurable or direct competitions all seem to need a winner and a loser and it makes little sense to me. I can personally agree that, for my tastes, there has been a little more for me to play on the PS3 than the 360 but, had I different tastes I might prefer the 360 line up. The only fact there, to me, is that we should agree the PS3 HAS certainly brought quite a lot of good, quality stuff to the gaming world this generation-whether it wins-ludicrous term- is surely up to everyone to decide for themselves and to be understood as JUST their opinion.

[lowcarb]

PS3 was closing the gap but as of this year the 360 has been reopening it. MS deserves some praise for grounding PS3 and not letting up build up enough speed and to take off. This holiday alone I expect the 360 to distance itself to a 6 million lead over PS3 and by next holiday a 10 million lead.

[eagle21]

Some fanboys are the most delusional bunch EVER!

Wake me up when PS3 has outsold Wii. I will be sleeping for a long long time. :)

[pixelsword]

Wake me up when the Wii has a better looking game than GoW II. Not III, but II.

I also will be sleeping for a long time.

[johnthe5th]

@pixelsword

Wake me up when a GoW game comes anywhere near the quality of a Mario, Metroid, or Zelda game. Looks like I will never wake up.

[eagle21]

Plenty of Wii games scored higher than the entire God Of War series. :)

[johnthe5th]

@eagle21
Haha clearly this guy has never heard of a little game called MARIO GALAXY 2!!

[goalweiser]

I don't know a single adult that was more excited to play a Mario game over God of War 3 unless they never played the series before.

Mario may be a great game but in no way can it be claimed a better game than GoW 3. Anybody that says so is a Mario fan. Nothing wrong with that...just can't be objective.

So you guys can pretend like the Wii is cool but at the end of the day, you're posting on this thread and not playing your awesome Mario game. Well maybe you finished it already. I'm sure we can see your achievements or trophies to prove it. Ah..that's right. Nintendo's games don't have that capability.

Ah well...*slow clap* You guys still are number one in sales! Does reading that make you feel better? Hope so. I think you'll always find yourself in the minority when claiming Wii-Superiority. We don't care about the Wii especially since it looks like crap on our HDTVs.

[turok]

"I don't know a single adult that was more excited to play a Mario game over God of War 3 unless they never played the series before."
I was more excited to play SMG2 than GoW3. Ive beaten GoW1 and 2 before. and I'm 18.

"Mario may be a great game but in no way can it be claimed a better game than GoW 3. Anybody that says so is a Mario fan. Nothing wrong with that...just can't be objective."

well the reverse is true as well anyone claiming GoW3 is better tha Mario is a GoW fan. also nothing wrong with that. except one which applies to both. "Better" is subjective/relative. none is better as its not absolute.

"So you guys can pretend like the Wii is cool but at the end of the day, you're posting on this thread and not playing your awesome Mario game. Well maybe you finished it already. I'm sure we can see your achievements or trophies to prove it. Ah..that's right. Nintendo's games don't have that capability."

I play my games every now and then. and btw im not an insecure person like urself. I dont need trophies or acheivements to prove whether i beat my games or how good i game. Im not interested in being insecure.

"Ah well...*slow clap* You guys still are number one in sales! Does reading that make you feel better? Hope so. I think you'll always find yourself in the minority when claiming Wii-Superiority. We don't care about the Wii especially since it looks like crap on our HDTVs."

Doesnt make me feel better as I am indifferent to such shit such as sales. I hope u wont boast sales whenever the numbers look good cuz then ur previous statement wud make u look pretty stupid. and lookin at ur comment this is coming from someone who clearly doesnt own a wii. too bad. as i own a wii and a ps3. which means i get twice the entertainment while u get only 50% of the fun im getting. also, i have caek :D.

[pixelsword]

@ johnthe5th

wake me up when the quality is suitable for people above the age of tewlve.

[Consoldtobots]

sorry but the Wii is CRAP, talk about a console that gathers dust.

[jambabie69]

ok so if the wii "isn't a console" then what is it?

another delusional sony fanboy that now thinks they can "pick and choose" what is and isn't a console.

for the normal people on n4g, all 10 of us lol can you not see why i have no respect for the sony fanboys on n4g? i really think some of you honestly need to seek PROFESSIONAL HELP.

fanboyism is one thing, what you guys type is a whole other level.......... psychiatrist needed.

[Traveler]

Even though I prefer my PS3 over my Wii and 360 I respect all three for the great games they provide and I am often ashamed of my fellow PS3 gamers. I don't really want to be lumped in with that camp even though my PS3 is my favorite console.

[jambabie69]

i play both, but i will admit the ps3 is my favorite too. thing is i come on here and see nothing but bullshit from the "sony community" and just like you sometimes regret liking my ps3.

atleast somebody gets my point when it comes to n4g. take care man

Why the hell are these things nearly an hour long? He could condense it into a 5 minute segment if he had any sort of video editing skill.

[egm_hiphopgamer]

it's called the HipHopGamerShow meaning that I have a Game News Segment, Interview Segment, HipHop Segment, And a Game Review Segment.

this is an Official show dog, not like the video articles (VIDICLES) I post during the week, that consist of one topic.

Thanks for your comment peace

[TheLastGuardian]

Your show deserves to be on G4TV. You're journalist #1 because your so unique and doing things no other game journalists are. I'm gonna be a game developer in a few years maybe you can interview me one day.

[HeroXIV]

I think he could get on FOX with this kind of quality.

[Dance]

more like an official blog show

[Redrum059]

I appreciate your passion for gaming HHG, keep doing what u do.

[Morgue]

I bet Pandamobile didn't see that reply coming that was classic...

[goosepoose]

cant wait til i waTCh your show on cartoon network.

hmm i smell d*ck riding.

[Persistantthug]

HHG likes giving back to his loyal fans.

Awesome :)

[mrv321]

BEST REPLY EVER!

[omi25p]

HIPHOPGAMER your a disgrace to the gaming community your need for attention is worse than a child your so called "Journalism" is nothing more than you talking while the game developers that everyone actual wants to hear cant get a word in edge ways, you never have any real new you make up everything up that you put on this site, you talk sh** you act like a moron all because you want to get hits you attention wh*** gtfo

[Pandamobile]

I doubt anyone has ever sat through a whole 'show'.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Can't wait for Gran Turismo 5. Biggest, most anticipated Game to be released. Is just insane, and the wait is worth it.

[Seferoth75]

Too bad there is no category for that. Never has been. Never will be. No matter how many upset fanboys like HHG cry.

Disagree all you want kids but show me where that happened in the last 6 gens. Didnt happen. So why start now? Just give credit to Nintendo. Anyone that cant at this point is a blind fanboy.

[Seijoru]

You're not making any sense.

[Motorola]

Hes a fanboy they rarely do.

[TheLastGuardian]

HHG is not a fanboy. He has a Wii, 360 and a PS3. He just prefers the PS3, but who can blame him?

[DarthMoose]

die demon troll, die!

[MGRogue2017]

I've said it before but I'll say it again..

Sony's products are always way more high quality than the stuff Microsoft comes out with.

e.g. Xbox 360

And yeah, sure.. They've sort of made amendments to that by releasing a new "slim" model.. but still, That should been released when the Xbox 360 launched 3-4 or more years ago & to be honest, The problems shouldn't even have been there in the first place.

[BYE]

Very true, Sony's been building hardware since shortly after WWII...

You can't beat over 60 years of developing hardware with...uh...

I don't know how long Microsoft has been making hardware, but for sure it's nothing compared to Sony's designing and engineering experience.

[punisher99]

This should have never been at question. Sony cares more about making exclusives rather than buying exclusive DLC like that "other" company does.

[Whackedorange]

true, sony dont buys exclusives they just buy companies to make console exclusives

[Focker-420]

Sucker Punch, Insomniac Games, and Quantic Dream all say hi.

[DigitalRaptor]

The best way of saying it, is that Sony fosters development studios and makes sure they can get the most out of the Playstation 3 by being first party developers.

Sony truly cares about the output that their studios provide, which is comparable to Microsoft's strategy of buying everything under the sun and not caring for the quality just so they can have it on their list of 'exclusive' games.

You can definitely tell Sony has MUCH better quality control.

[TheLastGuardian]

"Sony Has Won The Console War In Terms Of Quality"
That's so true, so what I don't get is why they are last in terms of sales. How is that possible? Not enough people come to N4G to learn just how great the PS3 is I guess. Playstation Move will help with sales but no where near the Wii because the casual gamers probably don't know how much more precise it is than the Wii therefore they will go with whats cheaper.

You get what you pay for which is why the PS3 is the most expensive console. I say the reason why the PS3 is in last place sales wise is because there are too many people buying consoles who are uninformed. If only they knew just how many amazing AAA exclusives were coming to the PS3, the sales would be through the roof.

[DigitalRaptor]

It's because Sony's marketing was piss poor at the start of this gen, and the games just weren't quite there.

Now though, it's a completely different picture. I honestly think this time next year, Playstation Move will have taken off extremely well and 3D will be a much more feasible option for many gamers. You just wait to see Sony's 3D offerings.

"I say the reason why the PS3 is in last place sales wise is because there are too many people buying consoles who are uninformed."

Very true that. Sony confuesd a lot of consumers this gen in regards to Blu-ray and mulitmedia features, and their advertising was crap as I mentioned. But now is the perfect time for Sony to get those people on board who might not have considered a PS3 a year or two ago.

To your point - Xbox guys aren't interested in the PS3 because it doesn't have Xbox Live or a Halo-esque game, and most 360 fanboys are just plain ignorant.

The Wii crowd saw PS3/360 as too expensive, but now is the right time to capture those gamers who might have wanted something more from their Wii. And Playstation Move is THAT opportunity!

Really though, PS3 has been selling well all along. Just not as crazily as the Wii.

[Spydr07]

Good luck with the shows, man. Sorry this place is full of haters, lol. All the negativity you get here, I just figured it'd be good to hear some positive. Keep doing your thing, these people know they'd do the same if they were in your shoes. I'd watch the show, but it'd take about 8 hours to download it here in Iraq.

[goosepoose]

i wont hide my love for my ps3 on this site. but i really dont think hhg should do it. Since his a journalist ( i think he is a rapper as well).anyhoooo, my boi hhg has a point- since we both like tyler perry movies so much- sony has an interesting way of doing things. almost like money is not an issue for them...its time you people realise that.

[darkequitus]

LOl. Talk about Reach A.I. accompanied by easy difficulty footage.

When he talks about not having all armor abilities all the time, he forgets this game is about choices the guns you carry as well as the armor ability. Then you live or die by the consequences. So it is not a flaw Furthermore, Spartans are at a heightened [ace all the time. The spring is not a normal run.

[gano]

Fuc what this clown talks about.
We know, but you are a turncoat homie.
like that cat in the hood who seem cool but holla at the law on the low.
let's see your next article praising that box for whatever.

[SoulMisaki]

Lol... Whut'?

[Double Toasted]

He is spreading Ebonics on the internet.

[egm_hiphopgamer]

@gano you know what's funny you just said that my next article will be praising xbox, but I never said anything bad about the xbox in my show today. all i said in terms of quality sony has won the console war, like i said i'm a gamer first dog and although i have my preference i love them all.

I can be chillin with jeff rubenstein or aaron greenberg it doesn't matter because they respect the way that I feel and I speak my mind.

In this show instead of talking about me being a so called clown, why don't you be intelligent enough to speak on what I said in the show regarding the quality of Sony then and only then can I respect your comment.

[Focker-420]

Thats 2 good replies in a row. What the hell is going on here?? :)

[gano]

i don't watch them anymore sorry buddy.
I was a fan when you first droped you knew what side you was on and so forth.
later you made ridiculous head line articles and
later started somehow approving certain bs tactics in the industry.
i don't really need you to respect my comments,
because you show how you are easy to switch sides.
that's not gangsta.
You can rap with them if you want (greenburg or whoever) but come with real info, on what's haappinin. not this lil wayne/ drake goofy shit.
i haven't seen one real rapper on your show but prob raekwon.
Even multiconsole owners will have a fav.
if someone wanted a real answer on which artist/system/car is the better you cant say "oh umm..well i like them all"
Is regular dank weed better then white widow?
yes or no.
be real with it if you are a real quote on quote gamer.
tell the truth on this shit.
stop sounding like a radio or bet stooge in gaming.
i really wanna see a real brotha push this shit.
hell kid you got a gotdamn belt, so these cats y.
sony had won the quality when it first droped the ps3, you were orig supporting that while they were trying to trash them system, then i don't know what happened. you fell off, shooting crooked free throws.
If it's the money i know, vic these marks.
till then tho don't sound like the rest of these sellouts for some change.
trust me i'm on your side.

[Denethor_II]

I like the show; always great entertainment.

[midgard229]

a sephiroth story? wtf? what are they talkin about. while i would love it that would be retarded. would rather have them finish the serious with what happens after dirge of cerberus secret ending since genisis is still alive

[thebudgetgamer]

the strongest console tech wise never wins.

[Blinding_Solo]

I have to agree with you I've started to see it happening that way too. Just like last gen when the Xbox was the powerhouse system it didn't win but with this gen the PS3 is the powerhouse and won't win and we all know that the Wii has won this generation in terms of sale. When it comes to games I feel that Sony has won. I really didn't like the original Xbox that much but it was the powerhouse at the time.

[EVO-OM3GA]

I wasn't aware there was a war

No one denied the ps3s power so I don't expect anyone to argue it but I don't see the point of the article as it's not relevant news

[Persistantthug]

Where have you been?

[EVO-OM3GA]

Sorry in terms of preference I like the 360 but sonys machine without doubt a more powerful machine

nothing else.

God why do people approve these hiphopretard articles.
The guy is an illiterate assclown

[mantisimo]

I approved this video blog and will do so every week, providing it is within N4G's guidelines which it is.

There are people who enjoy his blog and others such as yourself that don't.

I don't always agree with Hiphop, he can be very hit and miss but he has passion and sometimes hit's the nail on the head or has interesting items in his "show".

The answer is simple just don't watch if you hate it that much.

[TheLastGuardian]

Anybody who dislikes HipHopGamer, please reply and tell me why. I really want to know.

[gano]

I'll give you one reason
he flipflops on what he's talking about.
then sensationalize what he supposedly reporting.

ex. mario soon headed to ps3 and xbox!
wait..what.

[egm_hiphopgamer]

@gano I never said mario soon headed to ps3 and xbox here's the link to what was said.

See the only thing I said is can they get the rights to do it, A question is all that I asked, also in that video I said I don't think it will ever happen but I spoke on it simply because Sony said that would love to work with nintendo to do something like that if they could get the rights.

So before talk trash to the #1 Journalist make sure you learn how to read and watch the content before putting words in my mouth

http://www.hiphopgamershow....

[LolololRumz]

You make a pretty crappy game sound really good, you sir shall get far in this industry

[lelo2play]

This guy again!!! ... What a joke.

As for the title .. "Sony Has Won The Console War In Terms Of Quality"

It's true... and Sony has a obligation to deliver, simply because they have way more 1st party studios then Microsoft. Microsoft really need more 1st party studios.

[LogicalFanboy]

Sony outsells M$ EVERY fiscal year. i dnt see why xbots continue to call Sony "last place". M$ is last place in UK, hardly noticeable in JP. only in America 2nd place with all their shooters.

i must say congrats to Sony! closing the gap & pickin up their market share by the years. they havent even released their flagship title (GT5) yet. no tellin wat that will do for their HW sales as we all kno its da game that pushes HW like no other. Sony innovated gaming so mush this gen with titles pushing consoles & gaming beyond limits. wit Move launching with high demand and consumer satisfaction, Sony's future looks to be simply amazing & not only through this holiday season, but also beyond

[ApocalypseShadow]

be buying mostly 1st and 2nd party games from sony and less from companies i loved since gaming started like capcom,namco,sega,tecmo,konami ,etc,i would have told you...

"bullsh!t."......(n ightmares of 989 sports)....

but lo and behold,i've never seen so much quality coming out of sony.not only that,but sony willing to take their time until a game is ready before releasing it.the only game i can think of that could use that MLB touch is sony's basketball game.everything else is just ridiculously good.even their downloadable games.

how they were able to do that,and take losses on hardware,not lose or close **ONE** of their dev houses is beyond amazing.

and now that move is out,i see many games like sports champions and sorcery in my future.crazy man............

[CrzyFooL]

Has anyone seen HHG's music video/son about HALO: Reach!? I HATE Rap, but that song is fucking DOPE. It should be used in the damn TV commercials. Meanwhile he says Sony is king . . . oh well. Keep doin' what you do HHG!!

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[CrzyFooL]

ugh, last time I comment on any HHG article, I'm down to 3 bubbles!! No fair!!

[comp_ali]

fanboys are everywhere
hide yourself.

[Chubear]

I'll be shooting of a couple of prayers on her behave for sure. She'll be better soon I'm sure.

Great show as always but I couldn't help but giggle a bit when HHG was reviewing halo. Tries his best to really wow and hype it a bit but it didn't just roll of his tongue fluidly making feel like he was struggling at points to hype it. lol

Just my observation.

[Roozium]

Wait, he gave Halo Reach 9/10 while he gives games like God of War 12/10 (good game but not that good, 8/10). HipHopGamer = biggest fanboy there is.

[comp_ali]

that's why he get hits , get it.

[pixelsword]

I hope your grandmother gets better.

Sorry to hear about that.

[drewboy704]

I agree you should be able to run and jetpack. maybe choose between jetpack and shield. However the armor you where is 2000 pounds or 2 tons. I forget. However that is a lot of weight even on a super human. Just justifying limited sprint. Nice video though and I pray for your grandmother

[awi5951]

That blew up all over the world giving people acid burns sony did a good job of making their weapon of mass destruction lap tops to go away lol.

[Basjohn]

Hiphopgamer, starting fanboy flamewars since god only knows when.

On that topic I really do wish n4g had a "downvote" mechanism for articles that are trite or pure flame-bait.

[etownone]

So true.

[etownone]

HHG must sit back and laugh at all the hate and sillyness between fanboys due to his flamebait title.

But the majority of us stopped stopped watching his show long time ago.
So who's laughing now?

[fight4love]

He speaks the truth.

[Dellis]

Sony's slogan it does everything is real

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

Sephiroth based title?

[DA_SHREDDER]

Watching Kaz smile makes me so happy inside.

[Wolf873]

which should we get, PS3 or 360. Well I didn't want to sound biased, so I only listed everything both consoles offered, and she herself arrived at the conclusion: "Isn't PS3 better than?". Her conclusions were primarily based on free online and inclusion of blu-ray player. Nowadays when I ask somebody why is he/she buying a 360, the answer is usually because 'their friends have it'. Again, not being biased or anything, but I guess that says something.

[Malice-Flare]

they can always buy the other console later when they're cheaper...

[omi25p]

hhg you are by far the biggest douchbag in history, this artical is so obviously an attempt at a little attention in your pathetic little masquerade of a life please delete your account a stop posting such complete and utter trash you moron

[younglj01]

....

[KinectBam]

Im not going to lie, i thought this was going to be a biased video, but hiphop actually made his case and i agree with him.

[alb1899]

I know sales does not mean quality but can you tell that to Avatar, Star wars, Dark knight and the game the all ps3 fan hopes will out sell Halo Reach "GT5"!!!!

[heyheyhey]

@lowcarb

seriously? you seriously think that will happen? LOL

360 has never managed to outsell on that kind of scale.. and now that more and more consumers are coming to the simple realization that the PS3 is a highly superior system with much more value for money, why would it happen now?

you are deluded mate

[WIIIS1]

Lol @ "...in terms of..."!

[singlestrike]

While I agree with the title, I cannot take this seriously. I find myself repeatedly disappointed when I expect a great video or article and instead see an idiot babbling on as a "HipHopGamer" representative. STFU.

[Chapulin]

FTW!!!!

[earbus]

HA way to turn a win from third place.

[turok]

looks like hhg is better received this time around...

[hankmoody]

I know my opinion isn't the last word but frankly, there's no way that you can argue that the 360 is not the better of the two. Maybe technically speaking, the PS3 has the sexier, better built machine but I do most of my gaming on the 360. And the online service is top notch, even if $60 kinda hurts the pockets.

[AceofStaves]

There's no reason to argue for or against a particular console. It comes down to personal preference. For me, the PS3 and Wii offer better gaming experiences than the 360. That doesn't mean the 360 is inferior, though. It just doesn't provide me with the kind of gaming experience I enjoy most.

[MisterNine]

From here on out I'll have exactly five cents deposited to my bank account for each time the word "fanboy" is mentioned in the comments section of this article. Within 24 hours I'll be retiring to an island in French Polynesia and I'll never have to work another day of my life.

[bjh089]

Sony does have top quality exclusives. Uncharted 2 being the best game this generation and nothing really compares. Microsoft have become greedy and are focusing on casual audiences that's why they are doin the whole Kinect thing. Sony is continually focused on gamers and continue to pump out top quality exclusives. What does Microsoft have gears and halo lmao and both series are good but not great. 360 owners think they have it good when in reality it could be alot better. This is coming from someone who owns both systems and enjoys both consoles for there strengths and weaknesses. Microsoft does piss me off and I'm just left shaking my head and wondering how much better the 360 would be if it had a better variety of exclusives.

[Shnazzyone]

these are all just as good as uncharted 2 imo

[Shnazzyone]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU U-

[darktick]

I used to be a sony fanboy but not anymore jumped on the xbox years ago. Still like nintendo but hate sony bought a ps3 when it came out tried to give them a second chance nope still sucks!

[Garnett]

Thanks HIPHOPLamer, that meams Xbox 1 beat PS2 in the console war!!!

[Sikbeni10]

HHG, if you ever want to be taken seriously in this industry you need to lay off with your sexual preferences in regards to the PS3. Have your preference by all means, just lay off the PS3 worship because no one of serious age takes you seriously...

Not hating, saying this for your sake G. Peace.

As for PS3 games, sure there are great games on the PS3 but verily I tell you that the great games on the PS3 are small in number and the quality of them lasts up to 12 hours, that is not real quality, that is a lack of quantity in a nice package. I buy a PS3 game and return it within 48 hours, I did this with Heavy Rain, GOW 3 and Uncharted 2, the top 3 PS3 titles.

That in a nutshell is the PS3 exclusives.

[ukhardcore2010]

right go 2 vgchartz.com and see the sales for ya self hip hop gamer show talks crap

[AWBrawler]

articles like these show how desparate Sony fans are to claim a victory.last Gen, Gamecube owners just accepted last and kept gaming, why can't PS3 owners do the same?

[SpinalRemains138]

SONY fans arent claiming victory
This isnt even about fans
This is about which console is the best. Playstation 3 blows the 360 and Wii away.
Do you honestly think that the one that sells the most is the best? PS3 has the best everything lol. I don't understand why you're trying to debate it.

[hoops]

The PS3 does have higher quality exclusives than the xbox360....but winning a console war is based on sales and overall maerketshare unfortunatley for Sony this time around

[cygnuszero]

There are millions of gamers that say the 360 has better exclusives, and ironically, the 360 is outselling the PS3 every month!

Sounds like you're in the minority here with your opinion.

[ZoidsRaven]

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[saimcheeda]

"To each its own"

For me I prefer the PS3 and they've won as far as my consideration goes but MS or Nintendo fans may feel the same way about their console!

[SpinalRemains138]

I see tons of guys on this site yapping about sales all the time. I don't understand this way of thinking unless you yourself are a shareholder. Are you guys serious? Play some dam games! Would you same sales ppl rather drive a Taurus because they sell more than the new Challenger, or a Ferrari?

It's the exact same argument. SONY PS3 is clearly the superior console with way more features and variety across the board. Why do sales have to come into question when the best console is glaringly obvious? I want the best, and the best is SONY.

[SpinalRemains138]

Whoever disagreed with my above comment obviously had time to visit this site in between disc swaps. I don't have to swap discs with my PS3. Just yet another reason why SONY is better than the archaic competitor. Paying for what is free and swapping discs like a chump. How on Earth are ppl still defending the console that breaks and uses last gen format? Is Halo really that good, or are kids brainwashed nowadays?

[WetN00dle69]

Ahhhh......well we will see what happens!
Not gonna say yes or no till its official that Sony has Won the Console wars.
Many can scream it has to the high heavens BUT what counts is when its written in paper! Anyways i want Move.........anyone wanna make a small donation to my fund........???? lol

Ohh and Hiphop may god bless your grandmother man and may she make a speedy recovery!

[AWBrawler]

its not about the sales for me. its not about the graphics, the tech, or the features. What detrermines a winner at the end of the day is starting a new standard. Wii came out with motion as its primary, now everyone wants to try motion. Wii is appealing to people gaming never appealed to. Wii is basicly saving gaming like the NES did back in 85 i believe it was.
for example: I do not consider the NES a winner over master system cause of numbers, i do because it set a standard for gaming. With PS1 and N64, i consider it a draw, cos PS1 brought about CD based games, but N64 made rumble the standard. last gen Xbox introduced online and Harddrives, but PS2 introduced movie playback so thats another tie. So at the end of the day Nintendo introduced the most new ideas this gen, therefore, they win!!!

[AWBrawler]

correction. Saturn had CD based games first, but PS1 also had music playback

[AceofStaves]

Each gamer makes his or her own determination of which console 'wins' the so-called war. In the end, sales aren't the most important metric for us as gamers - unless you feel a need to be part of the "winning" side.

That kind of tribalism is pointless, though. Gaming is a form of entertainment. It comes down to which console, and which titles, provide the best entertainment experience for you.

I can't help but laugh at fanboys who focus on only one console as if it's the only option. I haven't seen movie fans slavishly defending or attacking competing studios. No movie fan says "Warner Bros. sucks! I only watch movies put out by Fox!"

Play games. Have fun. That's what gaming should be.

[Clarence]

PS3 is all around the best console this gen.

[cygnuszero]

Yay opinions on the internet!!!!!!!!!

[theonlylolking]

About time Hippy hop gamer said something decent

[Clarence]

I believe Sony has sold more software this year than M$. Check your facts

[cygnuszero]

Halo Reach just came out. Last time I checked, Halo 3 has sold twice as much as sony's top selling exclusive. Reach just came out, you better think about editing that post son, because that game alone with easily put MS above them.

[NabikiTendo]

xbox lost for me at least not gonna play it anymore it's in my dusty draw with the laggy gears 1 and 2 disk in there also.

Xbox live has awful lag. I had to sell my 360 2 years ago because xbox live has no dedicated servers!

Fiber running to my house and my Playstation Network account always ran much smoother than my Xbox Live acct did. Fact. To this day I still do not understand how Microsoft can charge their customers for a service that performs inferior. I suppose it's because ppl still pay for it. I woke up. Why don't all of you?

PS3 has online play for free and it performs better. Cross game chat is the only thing PSN does not offer to its users, and frankly I think it's not needed. I have a phone. I only want to speak to the guys I'm gaming with. Unless I have abandonment issues and I need to be speaking to ppl 24/7 like a 13 year old girl.

-Better exclusives
-Better graphics
-Better format in Blu-Ray
-Better online service which is free
-More mature gaming demographic (no kids screaming into mic, and no one uses the word pwned)
-Better motion control option
-Quieter machine
Jeez my fingers hurt typing out the reasons why PS3 is way superior.

Bwahahahahahaaaa, now that was some funny stuff right there. They are in last place, are getting outsold by the 360 every month in the US, and are winning the war..... in terms of quality?

Desperate fanboi is desperate.

PS3 is a better video game machine than the 360 is.

Quality has to do with the value and solid build of the product. Microsoft sells a machine with an outdated format, a disc tray that screams like a banshee taking a wrench up the ass, and the 360 console frequently breaks down! Yes. Many users are on their 4th and 5th consoles. How can you defend a company that sells you shit then charges you to repair the shit? Answer me that please?

So console sales numbers = proof of a console's quality?

Actually, hardware reliability and performance couple with diverse software lineup = proof of console quality.

Any machine that doesn't fulfill both requirements isn't a quality machine, regardless of its sales numbers.

Hey guys, I think If we drop a nuke on this comment thread we will kill all the most extreme 360 fan boys in existence. So I say we all clear out and leave them to suck the MS cock for one last time before they die.

On another note, why do you MS fan boys hate HHG so much? Is it possibly because he's a very unbiased gamer who brings us news on some of the industries latest happenings? Or is it because he's not giving all of the attention to The MS cock like you do every night?

Damn. MS must not have left a big enough load in all your fan boys' mouths when Reach launched to satisfy you, eh? Well hopefully when Kinect comes out it'll trickle enough MS juice all over your 360 fan boys' faces to keep you all at bay from harassing an obviously better console such as the PS3.
