It can be safely said that anyone who is interested in buying a PS3 is interested in games life Metal Gear Solid 4 or the Final Fantasy series. these two series are really the only two that set the Ps3 apart form the Xbox 360. Xbox 360 has games like Gears of War, Endwar, Bioshock, and of course Halo 3. So lets go over the genres.
Shooter: Winner: Xbox 360Games like GoW, Bioshock, and Halo 3 make it an easy choice. (yes yes ive seen the killzone 2 demos, and yes they are impressive, but i still think that halo addictive game play will carry it past Killzone, besides, if you remember the hype regarding the first Killzone and the subsequent disappointment upon it release you will know to be cautions about Killzone 2)
RPG’s: Tie. I admit Sony does have a good reputation here. Any RPG fan can name many good RPG’s that have come out on Sony systems while, most of the Xbox 360′s RPGs have been underwhelming (im looking at you Eternal Sonata and Blue Dragon) I have one thing to say about this however. Many of you while call me a fanboy for not giving this category to Sony, it seems the obvious winner. wait wait. Mass Effect. Mass Effect is one of the best RPgs ive ever played and it has received critical acclaim from the industry. If you like JRPGs then i admit your just sol on the xbox 360. If Sony had an RPG out for the PS3 that came anywhere near the quality of Mass Effect i would declare them the winner. but they do not, so the category is a tie for now. in additon, Mass Effect has two more games in its trilogy so if you liked that game (which you should have if you ad an brains at all) you will have plenty of RPG goodness to look forward two on Xbox 360. In addition there are rumors of a second Jade Empire and another KOTOR coming out of Bioware in the future. Most likely on the xbox 360.
Strategy:Winner: xbox 360. Ithis category goes to xbox 360 hands down. Battel For Middle Earth Two. C&C games, Endwar, and Supreme Commander among a few others. I don’t know of any PS3 RTS although i may have forgotten it. Yes Ps3 has eye of judgement which does look cool, but then again Xbox 360 has a game almost as cool Culdcept Saga. This one was easy.
Sports: this one’s a wash. All of the good sports games are multiplatform.
Racing Games: coming soon.
and just to keep in mind, most games that come out multi platform run faster and look better on the xbox 360.
