Gamasutra analyst Matt Matthews looks at how new slimlined consoles are driving growth year over year for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms, comparing the two consoles' performance -- and finding the Xbox 360 S is out ahead.
Prior to the launch of the new Xbox 360 S in June of this year, sales of Microsoft's console were already up 6.7 percent in 2010, year-to-date. For a console finishing its fifth year, that's a significant accomplishment.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.
And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.
I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
With these hidden gems to add to your backlog, it’s time to give some bangers the shine they deserve.
Numbers 6-9 were some of my absolute favorite early gen PS3 games. I'm still bitter about Incognito and Japan Studio.
The white knight chronicles and infamous games really need to come to modern platforms. MAG I really miss...poor zipper. The ps3 was definitely a unique console despite it being the worst home console of PlayStation.

Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..
Marketing is everything.
Misleading. The data is US only.
(hey, someone had to point that out)
I would say adding features instead of removing them is a big plus. Whats amazing about the 360S is it didn't get a large pricecut like the PS3 Slim, and its still doing better.
@topgeareasy
Nope, its likely the same in Europe too especially when you consider how much the UK counts and the boost was bigger in the UK than in the US I believe.
@Quagland
Its only ever been slightly more popular and the slim would have tipped the popularity in the 360s favour.
So what about how many actually bought a new 360S because the older versions are not up to par with the new ones.
That's completely uncalled for. You know those rating systems are flawed. They don't take in account houses that have, uh, more than two television sets, and other things of that nature.
Te he he.
