The majority of games now are on both consoles, so it depends which exclusives appeal to you. I think it's quite hard to tell which will have the most prosperous future but I see nothing now that indicates that the 360 will lose developer support and the PS3 will gain it. So presently, with the 360 having the largest library, more than twice as many games rated >90% on average, huge third party support and yearly sales which are still beating it's direct competition (the PS3) I'm more inclined to say the 360.
With the genres you specifically pointed out, you'll probably be safe on both consoles. Fighting games tend to be on both consoles aside from the PS3 has Tekken and the 360 has Dead or Alive. Racing games, again, tend to be on both systems aside from the PS3's Gran Turismo and the 360's Forza and Project Gotham. Right now I'd say the 360 has the upper hand when it comes to RPG's. It has a huge catalogue of JRPG's both on the market and in development, a lot of which are exclusive, all the multi-system western RPG's such as Oblivion and Fallout 3 plus some nice exclusives in Fable 2 and the Mass Effect trilogy. As for football, well Pro Evo is likely going to be the same on both systems for the foreseeable future. As golem said though, why get rid of one? Unless you're desperate for money, you're just cutting yourself off from certain exclusives. Sure the PS3 mightn't have delivered a particularly brilliant library thus far, but it's starting to pick up. You'd be missing out on Little Big Planet (the main reason I'll be getting a PS3 at some point). Same can be said for any 360 exclusives you'd miss out on. At the end of the day, if you want to presently own a better gaming system, I'd stick with the 360 no doubt. If you want a nice media system that can play Blu-Ray and is starting to pick up as a gaming machine, then keep faith with the PS3. Ultimately, I think in the long run you'll end up owning both anyway.

I don't got a PS3, but I'll definitely buy one. I surely don't want to miss on LittleBigPlanet, Heavy Rain and God of War 3!

golem09: Yeah I as expecting that to kill it for me, but it felt like they did the right thing. I'm not into being stressed only because I can't really move well with my character, you know? At least they succeeded for me, the fighting gameplay is solid.
ringo bingo: Final Fantasy XIII will take a while before being released on both, they'll only work on the port when they're done with the PS3 version, so you at least need a ps3 for that if you can't wait. Then again, only Mistwalker is giving me the feel I had from FF 4-5-6-7-8-9 soo.. dunno. Personally though I think the PS3 will end up standing out quite alot. Also, Wipeout HD and Gran Turismo 5 (prologue -.-) are the best racing games ( for different reasons ) I've ever played. Hmm. maou: That's really bad =( it's very weird that its forbidden. |

I've not got Wipeout yet but I was really let down with Gran Turismo.. it looked lovely but it felt like it had no soul in it ? I still play and prefer the first one over it (PS1) GT3 (PS2) was the best next-gen GT for me.

I find Gran Turismo to be quite boring. I think Forza is a much better simulation but I find it almost as boring (the crashes make it more fun) :p I'm more of an arcade racer fan.

As I said, I'm more of an arcade racer buy. The likes of Burnout, Ridge Racer (in it's prime) and more recently Pure, and Project Gotham which is kind of a half-breed. I get much more fun and excitement out of them. I did play Gran Turismo back in the day, but I haven't purchased one since the PSOne days.

HAHA, I just made that post in another forum at the same time.
But for me it's because racing games in general are quite boring for me. Except for unordinary ones, where you go ridiculously fast or use weapons. Or Both.

Aw yeah, I'm a ridge racer fan hiding from the world.
On another note, I finally had time home and went to the store to bring back my xbox 360. They answered me with a smile and a tech support phone number. I've been in wait for like a hour now -.-. Tired of the same 1 minute song playing on loop. Is there any other way out of this? |
