BF2S Forums Which is the better Console?

My reasons for Xbox:

More ergonomic.
Smoother integration between console and game.
better and broader games library
better online service
far far far superior controller.

Failed miserably? It was the best ever launch game for any console, have you even played it?

Exactly, more than 2 million copies sold.

Also:

As is the case with most batches of platform-launch games, critics weren't especially kind to the titles that debuted alongside the PlayStation 3. According to Metacritic, the most consistently well-reviewed launch title for the platform was Resistance: Fall of Man. Developed by Ratchet & Clank creators Insomniac Games, the title blended science fiction and Harry Turtledove-esque alternate history, portraying an alien invasion of England in the 1950s--after World War II didn't happen.

According to industry-research group NPD Funworld, Resistance was a solid seller, moving nearly 791,000 copies domestically as of November 2007. Little wonder, then, that as rumored, the acclaimed game is getting sequel treatment. The February edition of Game Informer reveals that yes, Insomniac is hard at work on a sequel, tentatively titled Resistance 2.

According to the magazine, Resistance 2 will support two campaigns, multiplayer battles of up to 60 people, and eight-person online co-op play. Unconfirmed reports say the game will support three character classes--including a heavy weapons, special operations, and the all-important medic. It will also incorporate vehicles, including the alien-built Stalker, which will have cloaking abilities.

FUCK YEA!!!

Reviewers say:
Gameplay: "Despite some stand-out moments, single-player is fairly run-of-the-mill"
Sound: "Music's fogettable and voice-acting is... adequate. At least there's a host of convincing bangs and booms."
Graphics: "Technically, Reistance lacks that wow factor. However, artistry shines in certain battles and locations."
Presentation: "Not quite up to Insomniac's usual high standards. Polished but unexceptional."

And that is the best review i have heard, others have even called the game boring because it is the same over and over...

It's weird, you said the game "failed miserably", meanwhile you are quoting IGN review. Which shows you havn’t even played the game? And you are basing your opinion on their review. I don't see the logic.

Halo 3!!!

Wow, you said it all.  360 gets the vote because it has better games atm.  But if I'm voting which is the better SYSTEM (not which system has better GAMES) then PS3 all the way.   CONSISTENTLY, Sony has won the console wars....  Sega would always kick ass in the numbers because they would rush and get out thier system before Sony, but six months down the line, Sony would crush them.  Same with Microsoft.  They push the XBOX 360 out early, with inferior technology, get all the money from the tech-heads who can't wait to get the newest gadget, then Sony crushes them in the long run with better technology. 

Agreed, Microsoft has some great games for their system, but those games almost max out the consoles technology gfx-wise.  Sony on the other hand, just like always, has a crappy first year.   They have a weird new engine that makes game companies have to learn some crazy proprietary game engine and code.  But as they go the games get better and better AND BETTER.  First year games on the PS1  and PS2 SUCKED.  But look at what they became after that.  They blew the other consoles away. 

Thats why the PS3 wins.  And will continue to win.  And thats what the XBOX fanbois cling to.....OMG HALO XXX!!!

I will take Sony over Microsoft any day.

It takes an average of a large number of reviews for each game, as well as user reviews.

The top exclusive on 360 is gears of war. Scores 9.4 on official reviews, 8.4 on user ratings.
halo 3 also 9.4 official, but only 7.4 on user reviews

PS3 top exclusives:
Ratchet and Clank 8.8 official, however 8.9 on user reviews, higher than any of the 360 exclusives. With a lot more big name exclusives to come.

Hence, officially 360 has better games atm, but not according to their users.

But the PS3 is definitely the console for the future

do we need to say more?

I allways read the reviews before I buy a game,,,

What do you think reviews are for?

Should I take your opinion on the game, or take one from people who earn a living from playing PC games and comparing them to the standards of today ?


Yes I disagree with a few reviews, but the majority by FAR have it right,,,

Here I disagree strongly. Reviews from sites are getting more and more biased due to firms putting money in to get better reviews.

So without playing the game, you can say it's a major fail? By reading other people opinion. I never said take my opinion, there are demos to try...you know. There are Beta to try...you know.

People are being way too harsh on the selection of games the ps3 has.

There aren't even that many games out, that's why.

In about a years time, I'm confident that the ps3 will have a much broader range than the 360.

ps4 will come in 2010-2011.
