Drats, you beat me!Krion_Vark said:Mortal Kombat isn't a console exclusive seeing as how two of my friends have PS3's one of them goes to fighting game tournaments and the PS3 I will say is better for that.

Gears of War 3
Forza 4
Dance Central 2 (yes it's Kinect, but it's a great game and isn't meant to be hardcore)
Mortal Kombat
Halo CE: Anniversary (relaunch, but still awesome)
Bastion (console exclusive)
Radiant Silvergun
-then take all those big games like Battlefield 3 and MW3 and see how much more popular they are on the 360 than any other console AND the fact that MS gets first DLC dibs. Plus the 360 sold 1.7 mil units in the US in November (record-setting 1 mil units sold the week of Thanksgiving). Shows you how many people are flocking to the 360 as it does multimedia & gaming so well. And don't diss Kinect. It doesn't have a ton of good games, but it has several and the technology alone is #1.
Why keep a PS3? Well if you haven't played Uncharted, Infamous, etc and never really intended to, then there's absolutely no reason to keep your PS3 as those are most of the games worth playing on that console. This next year doesn't lend incentive to continue PS3 fanboy-tendencies, whereas 2012 has some big and promising titles coming for the 360 only (Halo, Ryse, Witcher 2, etc). Again, if you aren't big on the couple of strong titles that launched this year only on the PS3, then ditch your PS3.
I have each console because my brothers friends all have PS3 so they play together. Then there is me who bought the recent 360 and the wii. I actually prefer the Wii out of all three because the games that are worth getting for the Wii are actually a lot of fun. While I prefer the 360 over the PS3 for the online. I also never owned a Sony console until the PS3 I am planning on picking up a few of the PS3 exclusives but I stick the the 360 for most of the games. Probably because I like the e-peen that comes with a big gamer score lol.NedroidPrime said:Drats, you beat me!Krion_Vark said:Mortal Kombat isn't a console exclusive seeing as how two of my friends have PS3's one of them goes to fighting game tournaments and the PS3 I will say is better for that.

Also:
Bastion is available on Steam
Halo CE - isn't this just going to be halo 1 redux?
Dance Central - really? *slow shaking of head*
OT: PS3 is admittedly my system of choice, as it goes full 1080p, etc. That said, the exclusives are what sold me. The ones that I like are on PS3: Metal Gear, God of War, Team Ico, inFamous, etc.
I really wish they would port Lost Odyssey to PS3 though... I made it all the way to the end and moved (playing roommates 360)...
Last of Us is 2012? Doubt it, considering they just released Uncharted 3OutrageousEmu said:The 360 has exclusives next year?

Totally different world back then though (weird saying that since it doesn't seem like that long ago...)
/flashback
I don't really play online so trophies are kinda preferable for me, but again, I am locked into Sony (can't wait for the Vita!). Also, I don't have roommates or anybody living with me, so piggy-backing isn't an option
anyways, add Final Fantasy vs 13 to the list.OutrageousEmu said:The 360 has exclusives next year?

How does the 360 do multimedia well when you can't even put media on the hard drive? You have to burn a music CD then rip it to the 360 hard drive just to put music on the hard drive, that's just stupid. And, you can't put video files on the hard drive either. The PS3 can play any h.264 video stream without transcoding. The PS3 plays XVID video WITH SOFT SUBS, something the 360 doesn't support. You gotta pay for Live to use Netflix, really stupid. And, the PS3 obviously does Blu-ray.schroederrock said:Shows you how many people are flocking to the 360 as it does multimedia & gaming so well.
Most of my friends play Xbox and my Xbox is a slim one so it's not really that noisySampler said:I find it odd you use the xbox for multi-plat and not the PS3?
I'm in a similar boat of having both and tend to use the PS3 in favour of the Xbox - primarily because the Xbox is one noisy ass ***** with it's fans and what not whereas the PS3 doesn't even give a peep.
I've never noticed any significant difference between the machines either - I borrowed GTA4 off a friend so I could compare against my PS3 copy and it's all much of a muchness.
So for me, lacking of annoying background noise wins out I was just curious as to why you go the other way? Is it online play? I don't go online much, more of a single mode player.
