This too. 360 was a Halo/Forza/Gears machine...which got stale. PS3 has stuff like Valkyria Chronicles, Demon's Souls, and LBP2 in conjunction with the first party lineup.

You mean those bullet hell imports that no one cares about?

Name me one decent PS3 exclusives that is not a interactive movie or a QTE video game.

Demon's Souls is irrelevant since Dark Souls 1 and 2 were released after.

>capitalism sucks

Most people bitching about Capitalism do it from their iPhones or Macbooks from Starbucks which they drove to in their Prius, while getting a degree on Daddy's money.

Capitalism may not be perfect but it's heavily regulated capitalism is the best system we have. It is however a little too unregulated in Burgerland when Companies can basically buy laws they want passed.

But everyone agrees DeS was better than anything that came after it, so how it it irrelevant?

360 won initially because Sony launching for a ludicrous price.

Most people didn't really notice or care about the inferior multiplats because they aren't the kind of people to watch side by side comparisons and then shitpost on Mongolian Cave Scratching websites about.

Once the price dropped a little, people began buying them since it was cheaper than dedicated Blu-Ray players, plus it played games.

Once the price dropped even more, people began buying even more, especially when the Xbox 360's failure rate of 30% became wide public knowledge.

The 360 sold more units than PS3, but it's not public knowledge, because no one gives a fuck.

There is no serious report on that. Most accurate source is 25-27% on 360 and 10% on PS3

Very few people had PS+. Playstation gamers were pretty vocally against paid online multiplayer. Until the PS4 required it of course, then it suddenly became "If you can't afford PS+ then you should probably kill yourself".

I owned a 360 last gen and a PS4 this gen so it's funny how that turned around.

I have an interesting story about Soviet Union.

I am a finnish person who used to travel to russia often back in the day, because of interesting ways you could exploit the finnish mark conversion to russian goods, you see, Soviet Union needed western currency, and the finnish mark was the best option for them.

Even though the mark had terrible buying power in literally everywhere else in the world, you could buy stuff from soviet union, so long as you used the marks, you could not convert them to roubles directly, or it was terrible conversion rate.

But Soviet Union lacked a lot of goods, like bubblegum and other simple things like that, so what I'd do was smuggle stuff like that to my friend in the russia and get roubles to import soviet good into finland at better exchange rate than I would get with the marks.

I got a brand new Moskvitch with bubblegum and other "luxury" goods.

Why would the USA become a socialist hellhole on the level of the Soviet Union?

At worst they'd move closer to European levels of socialised programmes, which is only one step beyond the USA's existing level of socialism.

>>339995383
During 360 years the servers were better than steam ones, i'm not sure why xbox one is slower.

Soviet Union had a modest capitalist economy.. they had to collect money in order to to pay KGB agents and the bureaucrats.


The poor Russians lived almost 80 years of brainwashing socialism..

Oh, I'm laffin'. 360 had literally nothing besides shit like Halo and Gears of War. By even the middle of next gen it was so far in the PS3's favor that it was outright sad, and 360 didn't get ANYTHING worth mentioning for the rest of the gen after that.

Right-wing is pretty modest in europe. They woke up too late. Maybe eastern europe won't fall for the progressive meme.

the ps3 seriously has no games. anime shovelware and official sony movies where you press some qtes and walk in interactive cutscenes arent games. the 360 will go down as one of the best online experiences in history because of how well everything flowed, how good servers and controllers and services were, and how much better multiplats were on it. you poor little sonyggers, holding that turd controller, getting hacked, and having half the population of any given 360 game. but hey bro uncharted and mgs4 and anime games ftw!

I think it was in late 2013 that Sony changed the PSN layout to PS3 owners.. THAT WAS HORRIBLE!

Petitions all over the place to sony get back to the previous store layout
It was horrible to navigate, slow, crashed, etc
