    What are you talking about, the PS3 has plenty of games. Literally every game that comes out on the 360 comes out on the PS3. And the PS3 already has a good selection of exclusive games.

    People like me didn't buy the PS3 for what games were avaliable, I bought a PS3 for what games are coming and are on the way.

    PS3 is the system you would want in the long run.

    A 360 can last you only a few days if it ends up with the Red Ring Of Death. They are going to have 150+ exclusives comming up and this year will be murder. PS3 will just decapitate all in the Console War. Metal Gear Solid 4 is on it's way. And it's definatly a game that's going to be spanking. PS3's also are really way cheaper than a 360. If you buy a 360 you have to buy the HD Player which is like $200? I dont know. And the wireless adapter is something you would have to pay for as well. Also the numerous amount of batteries you would have to pay for the controller. The PS3 is gonna be a beast later on. Trust me.

    The ps3 has been out for about 16 months and there is over 120 games out for it right now. Ps3 has some awesome exclusive games coming in 2008 like mgs4 haze final fantasy driver and grand turismo 5 just to name a few. Other people buy ps3s just to use it as a bluray player. Alot of researches buy ps3s for research because it has the unique cell processor that has unmatched processing power. A lot of people buy ps3s for differnt reasons

    People buy a PS3 because the games are high quality in terms of graphics. Xbox 360 is too but Xbox 360 has a high hardware failure rate. The processing Power of PS3 has not been utilised to the max. Wait until two to four years when gaming is unbelievable

    Oh really? I have so many games for my ps3 right now that i don't know what i want to play!

    Genji: Days of the Blade

    Ninja Gaiden Sigma

    Everybody's Golf 5

    Ratchet & Clank

    Burnout Paradise

    Formula One Championship Edition

    Call of Duty 4

    Folklore

    Resistance

    plus i'm getting GT5 Prologue this week. So my point is that it's a myth that the ps3 has no games.

    they will be coming out with more games soon. when people say that 360 is better maybe it is now but it has had 2 more years than the ps3, just wait till the ps3 has as much time as the 360, then playstation will once again dominate

    pretty much i chose the ps3 because of the xbox's high failure rate, it has built in wi-fi, and free online play.. i'm fine with the games... the xbox has so many more games just because it was out a year earlier.. a lot of the games are from that time... and there hasn't been any game out only on the 360 that i have really wanted to play.

  • 1 decade ago

    x-box 360 has like a 37% or something like that failure rate. PS3 has a 0.2%. They may not have anymore games than the 360, but you have to give them time, they have only been around for 2 years.

    PS3 Rules!!

    I chose the PS3 because GTA IV is coming out, and the 360 has a high failure rate.
