I am not one to typically take sides when it comes to games, but I do have my preferences when it comes to games I like to play. The major preference being I love to play Fighting Games, Role-Playing Games, Shooters, and Racing Games. So as anyone could probably come to the conclusion, I have a PS3. Not to say I do not like the Xbox 360, but in this economy and my full-time job and also school, I can't afford to buy another console and also put more time into that. Needless to say, I love Halo, Fable, and Gears of War on occasion.
The main point of this post is primarily aimed at FANBOYS, don't you just get a chill everytime they're mentioned? In this generation of gaming, I have never seen the level of fanboyism or devotion to one console as I have for the HD Gaming generation. People, must you really be so die-core for your console that you won't listen to reason, or even give other games a chance on other consoles?
All three consoles have their pros and cons for what they offer, and not one is BAD in anyway, I don't care what anyone says.
Exclusives: Quality over quantity, but in most cases PS3 and Wii have more highly rated exclusive titles than the Xbox, but the Xbox's exclusives are great games as well. When I say exclusive I mean the actual meaning of the term, as in NOT AVAILABLE by any other means. Anything on Xbox that is available on PC in a superior fashion is not an Xbox exclusive.
-The Xbox offers the best multiplayer experience for gamers, this cannot be doubted, but to act as if the PS3's multiplayer is downright unplayable, I find this drastically hard to believe. I've played multiplayer on both consoles extensively, and yes most games on 360 are easier to navigate, but I don't have a problem finding people to play with on PS3. I don't bother mentioning the Wii in this point because we all know, Nintendo screwed up royally with the Wii's internet capabilities aside from the Virtual Console.
-The PS3 is the best for media usage, Blu-Ray, the new updated non-disc Netflix, a better online store for purchasing Movies and TV-Shows, atleast I believe the PSN store is superior to the Zune Marketplace on the console. The PS3 is also best for Fighting Games, the Sony controller is the best controller after a Fight-Stick to play fighting games with.
-The Wii offers great games at a discount cost, the core games on Wii I've yet to see anyone not enjoy. Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Galaxy 1/2, No More Heroes(Yes I know it is being ported in HD to PS3), MadWorld, Kirby Epic Yarn, Donkey Kong Country, Metroid Other M, Monster Hunter 3, all of these games are very enjoyable to play on the Wii. The main downside to its core games are the release schedule, one amazing game every 5-6 months was rampant in the system's early life, but they seem to have rectified that.
At this point in the game, can we all agree that blindly insulting other gamers for their preferences is downright retarded? I'm looking at you fanboys who will sit in gamestop and shoot down someone's purchase, but I leave you all with a thought, We're all Gamers, and most people hate us anyway, we don't need to hate each other.
