Without a doubt it will be the PS3 for me. I am not a Microsoft fan and did not like the original Xbox, however I am a Sony fan and got the PS2 the same year it was released. It's not to say I'm biased, I have played the Xbox and I admit it has superior graphics, but to me that's not what cuts it in a game. The PS2 has far superior games. Tekken for one is an awesome fighting game and me and my girlfriend have been known to play it for hours on end. It is a PS2 exclusive (and it still looks damn fine, the PS2 CAN display nice graphics) Another game is Grand Theft Auto. Sure Xbox players eventually get it, but who wants to wait? By the time the game is released for the Xbox I've already completed it for the PS2.

Granted those above reasons were based on the previous consoles, but another few reasons is I've seen some videos and seen the lineups for the two consoles and I still think the PS3 is far superior. Also, I don't know if this is entirely true or not, but from the statistics I've heard the PS3 is 35 times more powerful than the PS2 whilst the Xbox 360 is only 14-15 times more powerful than the Xbox (The Revolution only twice as powerful as the Gamecube)

I'm absolutely the opposite :lol: Big microsoft fan here, i admit that Sony had a bigger range of games available but Microsoft seem to have caught up on major title's wise. I think PS3 will have a wider range of games but not all of them will be of a decent quality. As for Tekken great game, i love it but i think Deod or Alive matches up with it! You should have a few games on DOA :wink:
Also Bill Gates said himself that the software that Xbox 360 game producers use will cut the time it takes to make a game of around a third. Where halo 2 took over two years to make, Halo 3 is scheduled to be released in Spring 2006, this meaning that it will take 12-18 to make H3 from scratch.
Due to this i can see GTA been released earlier on Xbox 360 than PS3.

Saying that console developers like to exaggerate so we will have to wait and see which console will be superior!

Anyways Micro$oft sucks. I never liked it. The orignal X-Box is too big and huge. Xbox 360 looks like a messed up PS2. Thanks a lot Micro$oft for copying Sony. I have tried Xbox once and tried Halo. It wasn't bad. Who wants a lite version of Windows 2000 on their gaming system. Windows on a computer is bad enough. I have never tried some games, since I don't have the systems. Micro$oft sucks. If you heard someone say that Micro$oft rules, they are Micro$oft spies.

I'm definitly going to get the Xbox-360, Because of Halo. Not Just That, I just don't really like PS Games. Except GTA of course! Besides this, I'm not good as using a PS controller(pad, remote,watever u want to call it) anyway. I also think Xbox is best because you don't need to have a memory card.

If I got either system, it would probably be the PS3. Of course, the Xbox 360 will probably have better graphics, but the only good games I've ever heard of on Xbox is first person shooters(Halo), but I'm not a fan of first-person shooters. However, the PS2 had 2 of the better series of games mainly exclusive to it, Final Fanatsy, and Gran Tursimo. It has many other good games for it, but I can't think of them right now.

Seems to be a pretty even break at the moment, should be interesting to see what happens when they're both released :-P

They have good fighting games for Xbox 360. I've seen a preview of Dead Or Alive 4 and it is brilliant. The graphics are far better than the original Xbox.

Personally I prefer Tekken over Dead or Alive, I've played both but I find Tekken's control system to be easier and more natural and the fighting more flowing.

Salatios, please do not post so many emoticons at once in future, as per Rule 1e:
Members should post in a way that is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small or coloured text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts. Users consistently abusing this will be warned.
Also please do not post such short replies, take a look at what everyone else has said in their replies, they've all justified the reasoning behind their decision, follow in their footsteps.
