    If you have money to "waste" then get both. I do, and I love every minute of it.

    I own the PS3 and my housemate owns the Xbox, so I play both. Exclusive games wise, I prefer PS3's, and blu ray was the selling point for me. But XBL is much, much better (albeit with a cost, plus tons of kids playing), and the Xbox controller is more comfortable to use.

    Since you're into online FPS, Xbox is your best choice.

    I just remembered you said something about still needing to play games like FF9. In that case, definitely go with PS3...or PSP...or PS2...or PS1 I guess. FF9 >>>> any CoD. Or really any recent FPS IMO. And I'm not even the biggest FF9 fan. Of course, I'd rather play Final Fantasy Mystic Quest than generic shooter #15.

    You know things have reached bottom when the fanboys start making charts.

    No. Things reach bottom when fanboys hate on a clear and useful game list.

    lol, are you calling me a fanboy? Did I offend you? I know I've seen that before didn't know you made it.

    but sorry,

    "No casual game bull****"
    "No Kinect/Move exclusiveZZZ"
    "Before you call me out READ THIS"

    pretty much screams this was made for fanboy warz. it looks like it came straight from an IGN forum warz.

    I'm not calling you a fanboy. Are you calling me a fanboy?

    Only a fanboy would care about fanboy warz, true gamers care about games. Why do you care about these "fanboy warz" words so much instead of look at the games?

    I don't know, did you make the chart?

    And the question of what video game system to buy is going to differ from person to person. Age, family situation, everyday use, etc. etc. are all factors to a varying degree. Some people might want a casual option. Some people might be interested in Move or Kinect. Some people might be interested in the PSN or Live Arcade (ie less than $40 offerings). They are all video games.

    That chart is the same old list wars stuff that you see on every video game forum.

    I have all three systems and a nice gaming PC. Every one of them has different pros and cons and as such the recommendation is going to depend on the person. Anyone who tells you otherwise is simply playing the same ol' console wars game.

    No, why?

    The picture only included core games, not all games. Are you saying this is a bad list because it didn't include all games?

    That chart is just a list of 2011 core games, anyone who tells you otherwise is simply playing the same ol' console wars game. How do you manage to see fanboy warz in there? Dude stop caring/talking about fanboy warz please. Care about the games.

    Thanks for your opinion.

    Allow me to share mine.

    I see a lot of good games in the list. The ones I care about the most are:

    Skyrim,
    Batman 2,
    Mass Effect 3,
    Portal 2,
    Tekken X Street Fighter,
    Diablo 3,
    Heros of Might and Magic 6,
    Dota 2,
    Killzone 3,
    The Last Guardian,
    Uncharted 3,
    Ratchet and Clank All 4 One.

    Because that's who I called a fanboy.


    Anyone who 'cared about the games' wouldn't just pimp one system and ignore whole groups of genres and content.

    And what's a 'core game'? Both The Sims and Ar tonelico? Ghost Recon but NOT Call of Duty? E3 is coming up, how would that list be useful when stuff hasn't been announced yet? How many of those games are actually going to be out in 2011? :eek:

    That list is neither 'useful' or clear. Nor does it help anyone looking to buy a system. It's fanboy fodder, and whether you want to admit it or not is irrelevant. console wars are so sad. smh

    Uncharted3 is going to suck? Little big planet 2? Infamous2?

    Once again, my recommendation is if you play 15+ hours a week of multi-player online (regardless if it's FPS, fighting or what not), probably get Xbox 360 with $60 for live. It's really REALLY good at what it does.

    If you are interested in different types of games , PS3 exclusives have some amazing experiences imo.

    If you have the cash, get both so you're covered on both fronts.

    Everybody knows CoD, Need for Speed, FIFA are getting released every single year, there is no point listing any of them. Of course new games are being announced and announced games can be delayed, no list stays valid forever, if you have any updated information, please, share it with everyone.

    but PLEASE Dude stop caring/talking about fanboy warz please. Care about the games. If you think I am a fanboy, OK that's fine. How about we BOTH stop talking about this fanboy **** in this thread. Whoever says another word about fanboy warz is a ******* ***** ***, deal?

    Hence one of the (many) reasons it's useless.

    Deal, but only if we amend that to 'whoever posts fanboy crap', which I think anyone who 'cares about the games' could agree on. We could even put it in bold if you'd like.

    That list is so useless. As a PS3 owner, that list is heavily, heavily biased.
