The 360 has the headstart but could Sony have an advantage of better quality?
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.
Totally ridiculous comment.
The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.
Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.
Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.
And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.
You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.
Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.
Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.
"Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox."
Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.
Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.
They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.
At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.
Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.
They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.
Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
I was getting tired of these quick multi-platform comparisons of different sports titles and people waving them around like they really take advantage of a console's strengths like exclusives do.
These are the exact same people who did that comparison of mutlit-platfrom games by making fun of the graphics on Sonic on both the 360 and PS3. I will definetly be looking at there websit alot now that I know the website.
"The 360 has the headstart but could Sony have an advantage of better quality?"
No it doesn't.
Just look at COD3 or FNR3, the 360 wins hands down.
See the graphics from the PS3 major title, Resistance, and the 360 major one, Gears of War, and Gears wins hands down.
Plus that website out of the ancient time, doesn't work on either Firefox, nor the new IE. Dull website, dull article probably.
@ Smitty below me.
That's nonsense:
COD3 watch this link, move over the pics to see the difference between the versions
http://www.gamespot.com/fea...
The 360 version is much, much sharper, has much, much more detail. Look at the last picture also, the house in the distance.
The sharpness of the PS3 version reminded me of COD on the XBOX 1.
Plus: Xbox Scores First Round Knock Out of PS3
http://www.xbox365.com/news...
"Xbox is flat-out better both visually and mechanically," said H3's chief communications officer and world class gamer, Adrian "Hollywood" Walton. "When 'Fight Night' is played at its highest level with the highest possible resolution, everyone was able to see Xbox 360's superiority to PS3 as clear as can be on H3TV."
Dipset and H3 superstar Juelz Santana was just as emphatic in his breakdown of the "Fight Night" face-off: "H3TV completely exposed that PS3's High Definition picture doesn't come close to Xbox, at least for "Fight Night." Everyone that had the opportunity to compete on both consoles scored Xbox higher right across the board."
So I'm sorry for you but probably you need to put your glasses on! Go watch Resistance, look at the grass, close up stuff... You'll find it lacks sharpness and detail. It's like last gen on steroids. Even COD2 on the 360 kicks it ass as a launch title. It seems it's all because of the PS3 GPU that gives washed out colours and less detail then the 360 gives
@ unixphreak1911
with that link of 20% usage of the PS3...
You know that's marketingbullsh!t, right? Every console gets better games after some time, compared to the launch games.
Epic has said with Gears of War they used 40% of the 360's power. Gears actually looks double as good as Resistance which uses 20% of the PS3 so in the end they do about the same right?
Come on that's no logic sense. Don't eat all that marketingtalk and go watch how the games look, right here, right now.
Links given above
C'mon people how many more times does the 360 have to prove that its the better gaming console in terms of graphics.
You only need to look at the GPU for both consoles and you'll see which console has the better graphical power it doesnt take a genius to work it out.
In one corner you have a nextgen GPU with unified architecture and embedded ram and in the the other we have an out dated 7800GTX you do the math...
P.S why do we still not know the specs of the RSX c'mon sony what are you afraid of!!!!
is basically a freelance journalist. He's just a script reader, he has NO education in videogaming whatsoever. He appears in ads ranging from washing up powder to alchoholic beverages.
I wouldn't take him seriously.
for there even to be a debate, "which is better?" is bad news for the PS3. with all the so-called power it has, theoreticly, the PS3 SHOULD have blown the 360 out the water AGES ago?
