PS3 really starting to overtake 360 as a media device?

However, the console with more bad games also has more highly rated games, so it is odd to celebrate a good to bad games ratio for the PS3 when essentially there are fewer games and less choice at all levels of quality available for the console - good, bad or anything in-between.
Less choice, fewer good games, but yay 7% more when comparing percentages of games that are good!
It sounds like something a PR team would put out, like when they say "We had a 200% increase in hardware sales! Woohoo!" - without the numbers behind the percentages it can be quite misleading, as their sales could in reality still be poor. See what I mean?

Yes, I get what you mean. There are two sides to the story and, unsurprisingly, people like to concentrate on one of them.

To end: There are lots of good games on the XBOX360 and the PlayStation3.

You mean most of us like to concentrate on "both systems have great games, while we acknowledge there's more on the 360 as well as the multiplatform versions being coded much better for the 360"?

Yes, both systems have great games, there are more games on the XBOX360 and the majority of multi-platform titles perform better on it. At the same time things are getting better as there are multi-platform games on the PlayStation3 that replicate XBOX360's performance.

At the end of the day it really is in the eye of the beholder, harking back to 'personal taste'. This year I have purchased zero XBOX360 exclusive games, not because they are bad but because they do not appeal to me. This year the only XBOX360 exclusives I want to own is Gears of War 2 and Left4Dead but it's very irritating to see people get away with saying that even though the XBOX360 has more games that, for some reason, PlayStation3 doesn't offer the same caliber.

The only great game on the PS3 is MS4.

And this is a perfect example of the ignorance I'm talking about.

Some of the comments in this thread are actually hurting my brain, such is the stupidity of them.

Why isn't this locked yet?

not this again, this is like back to page 2... the PS3 is a great media machine with no good games

If you meant great exclusive games then PS3 has 2 and the 360 has 1

This is the major problem on this forum and gamesradar before it, there are far too many pro ms fanboys on here and they cannot admit it or take the fact the ps3 actually has some great exclusive games, to say mgs4 is the only one is silly.

If mgs4 was the only great game on the ps3 it owns any 360 game by 2:1 anyway, but with games like uncharted and resistance it has plenty of great games, add to that EAs better ports and we could have a quick turn around sooner than you think.
