I was vica versa about Xbox and Wii "just a 1 or 2 games I really want on the system" and I the end I just bit the bullet and got the other systems.Mark Flanagan said:I wouldn't mind seeing the God of War series and Heavy Rain on the 360, They're the only games that I really want to play on the ps3 but I'm loathe to buy the actual console for them.
Conkers Bad Fur day being on the XboxLive arcade would be awesome as well.
You have to consider the hypothetical:
"If if did buy a PS3 for this ONE game, what other games would I then just get as well since I have the system"
Look beyond games that are "unmissable" and consider what is "worth playing".
For example. I really only want to play Halo, that's the only Xbox 360 exclusive(s) I really could not ignore, but considering getting the console what other options then opened up. Like:
-Crackdown
-Gears of War 2
-Alan Wake
-Bayonetta (a functional version at least)
-Splosion Man
-Shadow Complex
None of these games by themselves are really system sellers like God Of War 3 or Halo Reach, but they collectively do add up to making the console worth buying. I'm chosing 360 with this example to get beyond any slight system bias, I don't need to convince you a 360 is worth getting, but you'll see how it can apply just as well to PS3.
PS3 system sellers would (almost) be God of War 3 and Heavy Rain, it's wasteful to buy a system for one or two games but really, how many other games would you then get for PS3?
Like:
-Uncharted
-MGS4
-Demon's Souls
-Motorstorm
-LittleBigPlanet
