Natal is revolution compared to the Wii... at least IMO. And.. in terms of sales... Xbox does better. Shooter games are what most people are looking for. Xbox > PS3 in games. It's no contest.
Xbox outsells PS3 in NA, while PS3 out sells Xbox in Europe and Japan. Xbox still takes the lead so far though the gap is decreasing everyday.
Why? Japanese consumers are always biased towards their companies in Japan.... it's always been that way since Microsoft released the first Xbox. At least here... it's a closer perspective with no biases... Just from Call of Duty MW2 (which is the most played online game in consoles right now, I believe) you can tell which console wins. Both have the same game... but Xbox has the greater number of users online.
My little brother's XBOX just got the E73 error. This is already the 3rd Xbox 360 they've gotten that has crapped out. I told him to get a PS3 next time.
That is why I have two elites, in case one breaks down. 98% of the time I use my PS3 to watch Bluray movies I have to admit PS3 has superior graphics in games compare to the 360. Gaming (FPS) and live community hands down goes to 360, not even close.
People in China don't even game Xbox Live so no, shooter games are not what most people look for (and it has nothing to do with Western bias as there is no extra love for Japan in China). Natal sounds amazing, but we'll see what is actually delivered. I still maintain that the best FPS is on the PC. Put the best PC FPS player with one of these bad boys http://www.xoxide.com/ga.html against the best console player and see who wins.
The Xboxes built since Nov'08 don't have the red ring problems or the E73 error. They fix the problem for new ones. As for older......it is hit and miss. I had my repaired, took a week..turnaround.
The problem with the PS3....is it is BORING. Nothing to do...feels disconnected online. I have a ps3 that i gave to my stepson. Xbox has more games........period. A bigger variety. The online is more prone to cheating because of the "free" aspect of it.
I love my PS3 Free online and no RROD. Good luck finding one. Ill let you know if I see one around town
360 has more games because it was released a year earlier, of course that will be the case. PS3 has better quality games...period.
DOES. NOT. COMPUTE. It's been proven time and time again that the graphics accelerators for both the PS3 and 360 are essentially identical, but some experts lean toward the 360 as the slightly "crisper" graphics console.
Anyway, this is a nice derailment.. OP, were you able to find a PS3 yet? Dell had some on sale but it will take awhile to ship just like the newegg one..
The PS3 and 360 are more alike than any 2 consoles previously. Arguing which one is "better" is a waste of time. Both have some great 3rd party exclusives but most games are on both console and are really similar. Get over it.
