People have had their accounts held ‘hostage’ for MS points and more. I rather know what happens than be kept in the dark. Also I would prefer to be compensated decently as PS has done in the past year. I bet their customer service employees actually know what they’re doing as well. But this is based on what I’ve read from a few XBL members or who were members but then switched to PS3. And the online experience on the PS3 is pretty much the same as XBL, pretty sure other possible reasons as to a bad online experience haven’t been fully factored in. Just a thought thought and no hate intended.

The current gen just hinders the potential of what a game could accomplish, which is why I strongly hope for the next gen to come out by mid to late 2013. I do understand, however, why Microsoft and Sony have waited so long (the next gen will be a turning point in consoles, IMO); regardless, here’s to the next gen being sooner than later *crosses fingers*

Still i will buy the next Xbox for what it does and its exclusive games, the PS3 is a great tech system and love watching blu rays in it and of course playing some games on it looks great. But for my family and gamers in general Wii U will be the winner again in the next Gen battle just as it is today even if the PS3 keeps o selling, it wont catch up to Wii sales this year…

Good day people!

XBox has a vast army of online fans, mainly from  the modern warfare games, and i have to agree that when it comes to playing MW XBox wins hands down. Most of my friends got XBoxs just for MW. The PS3 is a bigger console as i watch tv,movies, and listen to music thru it – all i’m worried about is it melting from over use! – Microsoft has heavy ties to the MW online community so will always be more popular. Both consoles are good in different ways, but neither can touch my Dell Aienware PC for gaming power, i’ve got BF3 on PC, it’s awesome, the console version is a joke.

I have both and only ever play exclusives on PS3. If a game comes out dual format I alwqays go for it on Xbox. Xbox live is far superior to PSN, for one the ease in which you can meet and chat with friends over xbox live is just so much better. Ok, so PSN is free and you have to pay for xbox live but i would rather pay for a good service than get a rubbish one for free! Sure the playstation is a Blueray player and that is one of the reasons I bought it and yes graphically it can handle more(that’s why I buy the exclusives) but we all know fantastic graphics doesn’t mean a good game!

Where did you get that data of ‘nearly 60 million’? If true, the Xbox 360 has actually extended its lead over the PS3, since M$ has confirmed it has sold 66 million on the 9th January. Just a few months ago, the difference was only like 2-3 million between the 2 consoles, so if there is a 6million+ gap now, then sadly the PS3 won’t be catching up with the 360 this year.

I have a friend that has the Orange Box on Xbox and loves it, but they say Team Fortress 2 is mediocre on it, and much prefers the PC version. It’s free, anyway, and the specs are not demanding at all.

AMAZING this year is only 21 days old! what a quick seller.  Also I’d like to point out that it is actually the Wii that sells more as it has a larger target demographic

 
I’m almost certain that Xbox is a while off a new console as we just received the new software update. 
Right now neither console has anything to offer that isn’t already on the market (Kicect, Playstation moves, TV. High Def ext) IF Xbox wanted to compete in the market currently there best bet would be a hand held console.
