-PS3 or XboX 360-

yes, because it was on the wii, the earlier version i believe was on the gamecube, i don't know much about the game so i won't say anything besides that the most reasonable factor could be that resident evil 4 is a gamecube game and then it was just ported to a wii which is superior to the gamecube, it would be reasonable to expect the port to support the wii's greater power with maybe better graphics or faster fps, idk, but the standard is raised because its a wii, but since it was the same as the gamecube game (my guess at least is that it is, like i said i don't know much about it) it got a lower socre because it was gamecube quality on a Nintendo wii.

The Wii version was better in every way from the Gamecube and PS2 version but its score was still lower. They sighted the fact that it was released so long after the PS2 version as the reason for the best version not getting the best score. I think that the Bioshock review might be a similar thing.
EDIT: Thats not to say the PS3 version was better as was the case for RE4 on Wii. Just that it might not have been any worse, just a year late.

since i haven't played the ps3 version of bioshock i can't say much again, but from what i heard what made the score lower was a mixture of high and low res textures next to each other (which won't bother the people who just play and don't take time to look at walls, i so tho :P) and the price point (when it came out, the 360 version was at half price) other then that if you don't care about the achievements i see no reason why you wouldn't want to pick up the ps3 version instead of the 360 to get the extra contend.

Perhaps porting from 360 to PS3 is more difficult then we might think. The port by EA of Orange Box needed a patch to fix some very large bugs and still has some slowdown. The PS3 can run it so its either a lazy port or it is, in fact just a difficult port in some cases.

Actually the games that are stricken with bugs most are the games that have staggered releases. The games that were meant as 360 games and then a year or so later came out on PS3. The games intended as games for both that have simultaneous releases dont seem to have nearly as much of this type of thing.

Eternal Sonata has also been released for PS3 and The Last Remnant is being released soon.

Later then a year after. Have fun with you massively delayed games while 360 owners get previously exclusive games as multiplat or exclusive releases.

Face it; Sony f***ed up. They have no one to blame but themselves.

When Eternal Sonata was released, I don't believe it was ever stated that it would be exclusive to the 360 (I remember the first reports of it being in progress for PS3 before the game was even released). The fact that it stayed a 360 exclusive for as long as it did is nothing short of miraculous, considering the 360's standing in Japan during that timeframe.

All I have to say about RPGs and this thread right now is Tales of Vesperia. ToV is the best JRPG I've played in a long while (it even tops the first Tales of Symphonia game in my book).

this gen is mostly multiplatform, almost every game comes out for both consoles

I own a 360 but I'm planing to get a PS3 sometime this year, I think PS3 is better on some things

- I hate having to pay for LIVE
- My 360 sounds like the washing machine
- I had to buy rechargeable batteries for my controls

Aside from those inconveniences the 360 has some very nice exclusives, and I got mine for cheap.

PS3 needs more exclusive titles but it's better, although it is more expensive.

Actually my launch 60gb is pretty loud, not as loud as my launch 360RIP. It is also a bit fatter but its probably because it has that power thing built inside.

If you hate paying for live try Xlink Kai or sell your 360 and get a ps3 lol

Yep I really hate ms for not having built in batteries on the controllers!

One more thing, good games on the 360 are selling way more then good games on the ps3:


LittleBigPlanet: 1.89 m
Metal Gear Solid 4: 3.80 m

Halo 3: 8.96 m
Gears Of War 2: 4.34 m


Call of duty: world at war (ps3): 2.63 m
Call of duty: world at war (360): 4.38 m

GTA4 (ps3): 5.31 m
GTA4 (360): 6.70 m

i will put the following ones for a good laugh:

Wii Play: 20.40 m
Mario Kart: 14.12 m
Mario Party 8: 6.13 m
Mario And Sonic At The Olympic Games: 6.69 m
Super Mario Galaxy: 7.93 m
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: 1.49 m?????????

But the simple reason for that is not to do with the quality of the game, but the size of the userbase. Considering the number of users that own 360's and the number that own PS3's (and discounting the phenomenon that is Halo) then the figures for MGS4 are more impressive than the ones for Gears of War 2 and the like.
This is proven with the other comparisons.
by rights with the massive difference in userbases, then CoD: WaW and GTAIV should be have far higher sales on 360.

That is true dejkirkby. Don't forget, though, the 360 also has a record high attachment rate, at 8.1 games per console. And this is even with the 360's 8 million lead on the PS3. So technically, should the 360 have the same consoles sold as the PS3, its still would shift more software then either the wii or PS3; of course assuming they would buy the same amount of games which I don't see why they wouldn't. Thats why making 3rd-party 360 exclusives is so popular.

I hear a very cliched, overused and unproved retort coming, but then again this isn't VGChartz I'm thinking of a certain phrase by the way, not a retort in general....

trust me, once you get your ps3 you are going to wish they charged for better service, me+shadowblind+LittleBigPlanet=LAG! we often get thrown off each others servers, and for some reason it throws us off every time we try to make a level together which by the way is one of the trophies so i know we are SUPPOSE to be able to do :P

this isn't the case for all games tho, warhawk has some pretty good servers and if you get on the right ones there is no lag what so ever, feels like you are playing on a 360. Still, you get what you pay for and honestly $50 a year isn't bad t all and it is giving us some pretty good servers. Of course the 360 isn't perfect, sometimes when me and shadowblind want to play GOW2 online we have to reset our routers and go to "restore to factory defaults" on our console menus.

One more thing, yes there are more people with 360s out there then people with ps3s, but shouldn't that simply prove that more people like the 360? the fact that the 360 had a year of advantage was proven an invalid argument thanks to the Nintendo wii selling about 2 to 1 against the xbox 360 even with a year of advantage.
