Oddly enough, today I was in Greenhills at EYO's new shop in Virra Mall. I was with a friend and we were commenting on the accessories for the 360 that were on display.
As I was speaking with my friend, there was this guy behind me, talking REALLY loud about the Playstation 3. Essentially he said something to this effect (not exact words)
"Lalampasuhin ng Playstation3 yung 360 na yan." ("The Playstation 3 will destroy the Xbox 360") He was talking with some other person.
It was really annoying. From the tone of his voice it was obvious that he was trying to attract our attention.
Anyway, the blind devotion of some Playstation fans is really ridiculous. I just wanted to vent that out. I personally feel that the 360 == PS3 in terms of game quality. The true battle will be for exclusive titles, and right now, as of this moment, the PS3 wins that fight. But as for the question on 'which console is more powerful'....I believe that they're about equal. What's sad is that some people will easily buy into Sony's marketing hype. Whenever Microsoft markets anything, it gets bashed to bits in the media, and it does influence the way they are viewed by the general public. Whenever Sony does the same thing, their fans and the media barely question it (They did question whether their videos were real time, but notice how it is never given as much negative spin as the Xbox 360's actual ready-to-play games). The fans and the media make excuses on Sony's behalf:
"...Those are early concept shots..."
"...not indicative of the actual gameplay..."
"...this developer is known to not deliver triple A quality titles, therefore this level of quality is expected...."
Note that the third comment is a one made for SOE, Sony Online Entertainment, the developer of Untold Legends. A first-party software developer. So essentially, according to their logic, first party developers should never be criticized for any of their work. Furthermore, if a game developer has historically made terrible games, that automatically alleviates them from any possible criticism on the quality of their work.
I wonder why Rare never qualified for these standards....from my perspective:
1. They're a first party developer for Microsoft.
2. None of their games for the Xbox1 were really big hits for Microsoft (like Halo/Halo2)---so relatively speaking, Rare is a historical failure, and therefore, by Playstation Fan/Gaming Media logic, they should have been alleviated from any possible criticism on the quality of their work.
It's pretty unfair in my opinion, but I guess that's the way it is.
