    So with the newly released Xbox, And a little bit of research. It seems there won't be a true next gen console for a good 3+ years. With both Microsoft and Sony claiming 5 more years in both consoles. There is still a lot of untapped power in both systems, so a total hardware switch is unlikely in the next few years.

    That being said, Which console would you buy if given the chance?
    And why? (I'm about to have to make this very decision)
    Here are the hardware specs of the two. Sorry if it's a little confusing.

  2. My 360 is gettin old so i was thinking about getting one so ty for this thread. O and as far as ps3s goes i whouldnt recomend them to anyone, i had one i played it maybe 20hours tops then went right back to my 360. I ended up just selling my ps3 beacuse i whould just use my 360 instead since most games come out for both consoles or just 360.

    The ONLY way i whould get a ps3 again is if they came out with some really good ps3 only games, wich there are some really good ones, but just not enough for me to consider getting a new one. Nothing short of a ff7remake for the ps3 will make me get another.

    Sony used to be number1 with the ps2 and now there in 3rd place and i see it being like that for at least the next4-5years.
     
  3. 360 easily.
     
  4. I had a PS3 and their exclusives suck. Plus all my friends are on XBL
     
  5. I agree, Sony really set the bar with the PS2. But the lack of titles for the PS3 has really become their Achilles heel.
    According to an interview I read by IGN, Sony has 31 million units sold worldwide right now - Microsoft has 39 million units sold. So why the hell are so many people buying a PS3???

    So... Anyone pushing for PS3?
     
  6. I think PS3 has the best set of exclusive games of right now. Well maybe next to Nintendo after the E3 conference. Not only that but you get to play the multi-platform games for free.
