360 vs ps3 for fun, everyone type games...

[jonnyutah]

whitch console leads right now for everyone/teen rated games available? basicly fun, living room non fps games. is there a clear winner? i get the feeling ps3 is the winner concidering the larger japan user base.

I'm talking games like platformers, party, puzzle, adventure etc. and so on. iow, who has the most "wii" like expreience?

You are opening a big can of worms right now. Any questions regarding the XBOX 360 versus the PlayStation 3 end up in giant wars of fanboyism.
Flame on.

...

Japans user fanbase isnt the end all and be all for consoles. Besides, I think both consoles have there ups and downs for availiable games with no clear rift in who-is-better-than-who-in-regards-to-what.

I give this thread until the end of the day.
This is pure unadulterated flamebait. I expect kupomogli will be here any moment to post the entire PS3 library.

[Robocop2]

Not that I'm trying to stoke the flamewar fires; but how would a larger install base mean anything in regards to this argument? Especially considering that save for a few exclusives; even fewer of which are not in the categories you specifically listed; the libraries are nigh identical.
I'm just not understanding why it even matters how many have sold in Japan and how that makes one the clear winner over the other.

I'd actually say 360. It's got more XBL Arcade games like Uno, Contra, TMNT, etc, that are multiplayer.

Can't think of very many family friendly multiplayer games other than Little Big Planet for the PS3. Unless you count multiplayer fighting games.

*edit*

Oh yeah. PS3 can play Playstation games as well. That actually adds alot of classic platformer games and multiplayer games to the system. If you prefer digital downloads. The Japanese Playstation game download service is massive, the US download service sucks in comparison. All PS3 systems are BC for PSX also, while only 60, 20, and some 80GB are PS2 BC.

The 360 has the XBOX originals. The download file sizes are obviously much larger than a PSX game though. Also not sure what games are available for download.

I don't know how it can be considered flamebait, the answer is clearly the Xbox 360, even PS3 fans such as myself will tell you that.

You know guys, it is possible to rationally answer a question like this without descending into drooling fanboyism. So instead of spamming the "zomg flamebait" responses...give honest, constructive answers, and there shouldn't be any problems.

And yes, I'm on medication right now.

Anyway, I actually think kupmogli gives a fair answer. If you are just looking at what's available for the systems...discounting any backwards compatability...the 360 seems like the best choice. Now, full disclosure, I only have a 360...no PS3 as of yet. But XBLA has tons of fun, family-friendly multi-player games. Worms, Uno, Portal, Pac-Man CE, Geometry Wars, E4 and many others. There are also retail releases like Scene It, Viva Pinata, and Beautiful Katamari.

For the PS3, I admit I don't know the library of online games AT ALL (though I hear games like Flow, Super Stardust HD, and PixelJunk Monsters are very fun), and at retail you have Little Big Planet, Ratchet & Clank, the Buzz Quiz game and I'm sure there are more, I just don't know them.

You also have multi-platform games like the Lego Series, Kung Fu Panda (yes, it's fun!), Rock Band / Guitar Hero etc.

Seems like whichever direction you go, there will be plenty of options.

And that's not including any backwards compatible games you may include!

I don't really think this is flamebait, folks... anyway. Family fun games? Both systems have very violent games, and I don't know many family-friendly titles offhand (I don't have either system, but read about them at other places.) But I can try to help.

Karaoke:
PS3 has several Singstar titles, 360 has Lips. Both have a couple of Karaoke Revolution titles, I believe. And of course there's Rock Band.

Quiz games:
Both systems have Buzz! Trivia games.

Nope, not a fanboy, I own a PS3, Wii and a 360 and a pretty even amount of games for each system. I have just seen way too many of these threads before and they always land in the Retard Rickshaw section.

As far as graphics go, yes. Its a shame that PC Versions are riddled with cheaters, thats why I bought consoles after Battlefield 2.

PC is multi-tasking. You can watch porn, post spam messages on forum, play games and still have time to babysit your kid.
