I sold my 360 after I realised it was unreliable and that every decent game it had played better on my PC costing less per game. Sure enough it broke months after I sold it to friend.



I think the only thing they got right was the controller, which Sony also got right, but then apparently hardcore fans complained and to cut a story short the back triggers suck and the analogue sticks are harder to use, but otherwise blueray rocks and so do the more unique games that I can't get on the pc. Graphically they're still keeping up with new PC games too for the most part.



If you want what the 360 offers, buy a cheap PC. It'll pay off very quickly as you buy games and you'll get a lot more out of it.

What happened to Pachter? His crystal ball broken? These guys kill me! And his opinion is based on what, market research?



I can get paid for this crap! Make up stuff and call myself an analyst! And it seems you don't have to be right either!

Pachter probably got fired for being wrong 90+ percent of the time!

yeah dude i agree that LBP is going to satisfy the ps3 users not only for this year BUT for next year and possibly further...



this game has unlimited potential,and thats wut makes the game a long lasting future product,unlike gears or halo 3 or any others out there for 360-tho's games are really great for the start and possibly a good 4 months (if that).. its gets critisizm and consumers to fall away fast.



but LPB has a long lasting effect on the ps3 crowd,enuf to draw the Wii ad 360 users into it as well.



+ LBP apeals to a HUGE crowd as GeoW has limited amount of consumer playability.



anywho,i also think resistance wil do some moving as well (mainly do to multilayer content),but not nearly as much as LBP.



oh and BTW GeoW and Esspecially halo 3 developed ALOT more critisizm then Risistance or about anyother ps3 exclusive (eccept HAZE).

Well, LBP is a casual game. But yeah, R2 is not. Also, how the hell is the 360 price cut a casual gamer thing? The price cut will affect all types of gamers.

Only buy wiis so this whole argument is invalid

But I have both, and my 360 definitely sees more use, even for games I own on both systems. Just something about sitting on a big sofa or chair and playing games with a simple gamepad. PC games are too much of a hassle most of the time, unless it's a game you really want to play, and you're PC isn't a POS. I have to bother with installing the game, messing with the settings/controls to get it to run good, and then usually deal with a plethora of errors. Like missing textures/meshes in Oblivion, or RAM running low in STALKER, or god damn Crysis getting 20 FPS on medium settings even tho I have a top of the line PC. GRRRR CRYSIS



360, just insert disc, play



But if you do go thru all of that on the PC, it's usually worth it.



Only thing I don't agree with is that last line, you aren't going to get what the 360 offers without sinking at least $800 into a PC, and that's not exactly "cheap". Try playing Mass Effect or Bioshock on anything that costs less. You won't enjoy it

If consoles ALL looked and did the same thing, then yeh he is right. Brand is enough to distort his idea of price influence on market alone.

He has to question if MS have made an attractive looking console. Are they any good in quality? Lots of games dont usually influence casuals since they buy whatevers available on shelves. I can only be certain myself that 360 will be popular for clueless parents buying for 8-10yr olds. every1 already has gear1 has 360



Wii has earnt itself mass appeal with "motion sense". so that accounts for majority. They cant get enough of it.



Playstation has that reputation from last gen. And thats a BIG reputation. No 8-10 yr olds since they probably too young for a PS2. Only those who lived with PS2 in their lives will be up 4 a PS3. 12-18 yrs old and beyond perhaps.



Wii is a definitive 1st.
