[quote name='TheShepherdSauce']Bullshit. I play both my systems equally (and by equally I mean, I'll play a game on the 360 then play my next game on the ps3, alternating systems with each new game) and my take on cross-platform games? They play exactly the same. Just recently I played bioshock 1 on the ps3 and bioshock 2 on the 360... my opinion? They were both
ing great games and it didn't matter which system I played them on.
But here's something that hasn't been mentioned yet - I seem to find 360 games cheaper and on sale more times than ps3 games. Otherwise, listen to the more unbiased suggestions already given and consider getting both consoles down the line.[/QUOTE]
Unless by 'play exactly the sme' you are just referring to the fact that crossplatform games are largely the same game on each system, you are just wrong. Do games play well, and look good on both systems? You bet. However, in a lot of cases the 360 has less slowdown. The 360 controller is also widely considered better for FP games due to the higher stick tension.
Please exit fanboi-mode. I'm not saying anything negative about either system. As you pointed out, most games will be good on either system, however, to pretend that all things are equal when they aren't is just silly. Some games are developed on one platform and get a crappy port. Some are developed by separate teams, and one team happens to have a better handle on their hardware. Some games get the multiplatform treatment late in development. In any of these cases, the game will be noticeably better on one platform or the other. The 360 tends to win these contests simply because it's easier to develop for, and therefore ends up as the lead in many projects.
Lens of Truth's
Head2Head series is an excellent source of comparison. For every tie on PS3 vs 360, the 360 wins 3.
Personally, I own both systems, and when I buy a new cross-platform title I choose which one is objectively better, if it can be determined. If not, I go for the cheaper one (lately the 360 wins that battle a lot too).
