[QUOTE="Keldryn, post: 3695892, member: 11999"] Go with the Xbox 360, hands-down. There are a greater percentage of cross-platform titles this time around than in the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube generation, but the overwhelming majority of those cross-platform titles are being developed primarily on Xbox 360. The PS3 and 360 are probably pretty comparable in terms of technological performance, each having some benefits and limitations, but the 360 has a much more robust set of development tools and requires far less effort to get games up and running at an acceptable level of performance. All of EA's "next-gen" games, for example, are developed primarily on the 360, even though the PS3 version is being developed concurrently. The PS3 versions are almost always lagging behind in performance -- and often significantly so. The Xbox 360 is less expensive to buy too. Game developers go where the market share is, and with 10 million 360s (and Wii sales rapidly closing in on that figure) and 4 million PS3s, the 360 is more likely to pick up the killer exclusives. Even your stalwart Sony franchises like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII have been rumoured to eventually come to the 360 if the PS3 doesn't start selling a lot better in short order. In the end it comes down to the exclusives, and I certainly think the 360 has the best exclusives. Mass Effect is enough to seal the deal for me. [/QUOTE]
