XBox 360 vs Playstation 3
If you’ve read my previous posts, you’ll know that I recently got an XBox on loan. I have no idea that console games can be so fun. All this while I was just a PC gamer.
Seeing that I’m hooked, now the question is which console to buy? Microsoft has launched their XBox 360 while Sony is launching their PS3 in November 2006 (hopefully they don’t postpone it again this time). It’s difficult for me to decide which one to get. Both prices are not too far from each other. I believe XBox 360 is the cheaper one.
According to my friend, Sony is evil because of the blue ray. But then again, Sony has pretty good titles. Has anyone seen the trailer to Assassin Creed? That is simply awesome! And don’t forget God of War.
On the other hand, I prefer XBox controller over PS3’s. It’s more ergonomic. Unfortunately, XBox titles doesn’t really appeal much to me with the exception of Ninja Gaiden. By the way, I only play RPG.
So which one should I get?

RPG? Go for PS3 then. PlayStation dynasti has been known to be blessed with good RPGs through and through. XBOX dinasty has seen only 2 good RPG series so far: Fable and Elder Scrolls.
And while we’re at it, why don’t you consider Nintendo Wii? It’s gaining popularity in Japan, far more than PS3 and XBOX360, so there’s a good chance that software developers will tilt toward Wii more then PS3
