Sony vs MS

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.video.xbox (More info?)

I don't get why people become obssessed with arguing over X-Box 2 vs
Playstation 3. I can maybe understand people arguing X-Box vs PS2, since you
probably have one or the other and you want yours to be "better" (though
arguing this is still pathetic). But why are people showing such loyalty to
the company that made their current console? What's the point? I own an
X-Box and love it, but if PS3 blows the doors off X-Box2 I'll be getting a
PS3, and vise-versa. Unless you have some financial stake in MS or Sony its
kind of pathetic to be so defensive over something that hasn't even come out
yet, and that you had nothing to do with.

It makes insecure people feel better and gives them a purpose in their
lives.

I like ps2 games and there exclusives like mgs and gt series and also the
gta series and some titles coming out like god of war. But I just got an
xbox because of the good things I heard about it. I especially wanted to
play Halo 2. Without a doubt that is a fun game. And it looks damn good on a
60" big screen. I even play hl2 and doom 3 and this is a great game even
compared to those, graphics and all. Although those are the latest and
greatest. Halo 2 and the xbox still hold up well for a console.

I bought a used copy of rallysport and its a fun racing game. Nice clean,
fast graphics. Forza just might be the gt killer there trying to be.
I didnt really think the xbox's graphics would be this good.

But in the end I like both consoles just the same. There $150 each so buy
both.

I don't why they do either. What exactly do they get if their favorite
plastic box "wins"? Certaintly not competitive prices.

I'm sure I'll eventually have all three consoles of the next generation, as
I do now and have had in previous generations.

When you have all the consoles, the hardware becomes transparant and you
only think about the games. I.e., when discussing games with someone else
with all three consoles you don't even bring up the hardware except as an
afterthought for multi-console platform games. If its a game exclusive to a
specific console, then its just automatically assumed which console the
person talking about the game is playing it on.

Cheers,

Your right, I don't remember the last time I read such a prolonged, heated
and mass argument on a newsgroup about which Refrigerator was better

With me it will all be about Halo's, that game alone sells the system. Halo
multiplayer online is the most fun a guy can have outside the bedroom. So
unless Sony Playstation 3 blows me away I will be back on the Xbox 2.

Exactly. I am tempted to buy a Gamecube specifically for Resident Evil
games. And at $69 for a refurbed unit at my local EB, You can't beat that
price.

Except for the controllers. I simply detest the PS2 controllers, but love
the XBOX S-Controller. I bought a PS2 specifically to play Ace Combat 4/5,
Gran Turismo 3/4, and Transformers, but sold it after I couldn't stand the
controllers. And I couldn't find a decent PS2 controller that felt good in
my hand.

If Halo is your sole determining factor, then it's already a foregone
conclusion you'll be buying a new XBox when Halo3 comes out.

I agree. The only thing I worry about is getting console X because it's
"better" but have popular opinion go for console Y. The result could be a
dearth of games for console X or even its demise.

In other words, perception can influence reality in this case.

In that case PS3 will definitely not win. They won't have any games (or the
system) out then.

I completely agree. I have a PS2 and an Xbox and I play all the great games
on both of them. I even bought a Gamecube because it was dirt cheap and I
wanted to play the Metroid Prime games. The MGS remake was pretty good too.
I don't worry about which console is "better", they each have great games
and I enjoy them all.
