Analysts: PS3 will win GTA battle

Hmmm. I wonder how often these analyst are right, or wrong?

 

Anyway, I don't care, for I am happy with my Wii, PS3, and 360 Elite, and as long as I will have GTA IV for my PS3, I could care less about which console "wins".

I'm getting both versions so I don't care. PS3, I like the pad better and X360 DLC.

Misleading headline for that article. They're saying GTA IV will shift more PS3 consoles in the process than it will 360 consoles. In other words, the game's release will be more beneficial to the PS3 in terms of hardware sales. They're not saying more PS3 copies will be sold overall. In fact, given that the 360 has a larger installed base at time of writing, I'd wager that more 360 copies will be sold. Having said that, I personally am one of those people who's bought a PS3 to play the game (the GTA IV and PS3 bundle from Game - should arrive tomorrow).

Wouldn't surprise me if it will:

 

1) The line up of future PS3 games is AMAZING, I can't help anyone who fails to see that.

2) Many people who had GTA on their PS2 are more likely to buy a PS3 for GTA4. I think it is also safe to say that people who had a PS2 trust Sony, since it was a very reliable System, if not even the best Console built to date.

i cant help but feel sorry for the people who miss the fact that the 360 is around 2 years older than the ps3 and still more than capable of playing most of the same games equally or better than the ps3.

3........2.........1..........

OMGZ NO IT WON'T!!!!?

 

Kidding. I don't mind if it does, I'm still happy with my 360 and the 40 games I've bought for it biggrin.gif

<------Owner of both systems. Let me say that in advance.

 

The PS3 will win the war, however. Just give it time. Weren't HD DVD's leading sales over Blu-Ray not too long ago? Look how that faired. Metal Gear is PS3 exclusive, and that's a huge franchise. Grand Turismo is PS3 exclusive, and that's a huge franchise. Is Socom PS3 exclusive? I'm not sure, but it was the MOTHER of online gaming on last gen. Resistance & Gears cancel each other out. Halo is the only 360 exclusive worthy of switching systems, and Halo 3 sucked to me.......I traded it in after a week or two.

I bought a ps3 just for this game. I've owned several ps2s, which were all amazingly reliable and well built.

I was thinking about buying a 360 for the DLC later on, but that decision was negated by the blu-ray on the ps3. Things were about even to me and the tie-breaker was reliability. I never had any problems at all with my ps2s. I once accidentally pulled over my ps2 while playing mlb 2k5, it hit the hard tile floor upside down and the game continued playing without a hiccup, no damage to the game or system. That one incident will stick with me forever.

 

The only reason I said PS2's instead of PS2 is that I broke one by taking it apart and putting it back together incorrectly. Rule of Law: don't take apart video game systems.

I own only a ps3, but from the things I have been reading Xbox is looking the better option.

I picked up a PS3 for GTA:IV. I opted for the PS3 over the 360, despite the larger selection on the 360, because of the PS3's multi-use capability, free-online, and reliability. In the short time I've had the PS3, I've also added GT5P and Motorstorm, which are amazing PS3 exclusives.

 

I'm betting: 360 will sell more copies, but the PS3 will sell more systems.

We have consoles to have fun, not to go babbling on a forum on how much my console pwn the other one. So just shut up and go and have fun. I hate this fanboyism. My self owns a 360 as it came out earlier and I'm broke at the moment. I gotta admit the PS3 library in the future looks good. But, what the hell.

What about these guys that don't like games like MGS or Final Fantasy. I say choose the game console on which games you like. Don't only take advice from other people, just watch some videos about the games that the system has and see which system has the best games for you. That's all I've got to say.

 

Take care,

Worfox.

So you basically agree with the article? I do too.

This doesn't really make sense if you look at the numbers:

 

Worldwide console sales to date:

 

Xbox 360 - 19 million

PS3 - 13 million

 

That means that PS3 will really have to clober 360 among its user base or it will have to sound millions of additional consoles as a result of GTA IV's release.

I bought my 360 because it was cheap. I think, when the game developers learns how to develop games for the Ps triple it will be gold.

I prefere the stick position of the 360 but it was hard to get used to called the trigger LB, RT , etc... instead of L1, L2,R1...

PS3 is the sh*t but it has no good exclusive games, MGS4 will be game of the year for sure and GT5 is going to be the end-all racing title, but having only 2 killer exclusive titles will not save them, and don't even mention Drakes Fortune or Resistance, they were both painfully average and horribly over hyped and overrated. Hopefully Sony dummies the f*ck up and gives us some good exclusive titles soon, but sh*t ain't looking too good at the moment. Haze ? Are you serious ? Wow, please try harder Sony

Ehm.

I believe Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet and MGS4 will all be awesome exclusive titles.

 

At least they're better exclusives than the future exclusives of the 360, although I have to say that the past exclusive list is much better on the 360.

But time moves on, and right now the PS3 is starting to look a lot better than the 360, in terms of future games.

The best console built to date? Very reliable?

 

Now, I had a ps2 and I loved it, and I will get a ps3 as soon as I can afford it, but lets not lie to ourselves. The PS2, just like the xbox 360, was prone to hardware failures in the first generations. Hell, my first ps2 died on me because of this.

Yea I went through 2 PS2's as well due to hardware failure, but I still think its the best console ever made, next to the SNES. They STILL MAKE MORE GAMES FOR THE PS2 THAN THE PS3, now thats staying power, that sh*t STILL sells to this day

I agree here....use common sense in choosing your gaming console.....don't listen to people tell you what system they think is better and why.......decide what games you like to play and if they exist on certain consoles......if they exist of multiple consoles, find out what the differences are and make a decision. Peace!

I bought a ps2 in 2001 and it lasted until 2006.......so just cause you had a bad experience doesn't mean that happened to the mass audience........I would suffice it to say if something as bad as the red ring of death happened on the ps2, we would have heard about it by now. No? It's like saying that because your original xbox360 hasn't ever had a problem, then we can negate all the users who have experienced the Red Ring of Death. *no thats not now it works* Complain, but complain logically. Cheers!

No way has Xbox 360 got as many kick-ass titles as the PS3. Only two Xbox exclusives that kicked ass that I can think of are Halo 3 and Project Gotham Racing... PS3's got Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune (that game kicks the ass of any adventure platform game that the Xbox 360 has), Gran Turismo, Little Big Plant... and lets not forget the new upcoming online title... HOME - Now that is something Xbox can't have wink.gif
