Nerd Rage: PS3 is better than Xbox 360. The truth hurts.
By Roger Gaw
Before I begin I want to state that this is solely my opinion. It in no way represents the stance of Nerdiest-Kids. Now on to the article.
Let us look at the obvious reasons first shall we? The raw brute power of the PS3 dwarfs that of the Xbox 360. That’s just the common undeniable truth. Now we can move on to the Blu-ray. While Xbox 360 still uses the standard DVD disc, Sony took a look into the future and developed the Blu-ray. The Blu-ray can hold 6 times as much information as a standard DVD. So when all you 360 owners are swapping your discs when you play Final Fantasy XIII just remember that the last time I had to disc swap was for the original Metal Gear Solid about ten years ago. Let’s not even talk about HD-DVD. That failed harder than laser disc.
And now to address the my favorite argument of the 360 fanboys. I’m not a PS3 fanboy by the way, I just call a spade a spade. “The PS3 has no games.” Wow. To be fair it is true that the 360 has a larger library of games than the PS3 because it did come out first. But nobody plays those games anymore ladies and gentlemen. People are playing games that are coming out TODAY! People aren’t playing Xbox games that came out in 2005. They are playing games that came out within the last year or so. And games that came out in the last year or so ARE AVAILABLE FOR BOTH CONSOLES! And don’t give me that exclusive crap. Exclusives are few and far between and the PS3 has just as many or more than the 360. So you can not argue with me that the 360 has better games because most games are multi-platform.
One of the main reasons I’m writing this article is that I’m just sick of people hating Sony for building a great machine. People say it costs too much. But you have to look at what it costs to make the said machine. They are loosing tons of money selling it at $400.00.
And another reason I think people hate it is because Sony completely dominated the last two console wars Nobody could touch PS1 and PS2. And Americans by their very nature want the underdog aka 360 to win. That’s why people rooted for the Giants to beat the Patriots. People hate winners. It’s a fact. On a side note I really do hate the Patriots. Those cheating bastards.
Again I’m not a fanboy. I own both consoles and I just want to give the Devil his due. Sony made a better console. Period. There is some irony to this article though. I’m writing while I’m talking in an Xbox Live party. Because unfortunately that’s all my friends have are Xbox.
So as I say when people hate on me. Don’t hate the player. Hate the fame.
