Message: [QUOTE="legsrjust4show, post: 235817, member: 5907"] I guess the PS3 did win in the end. I think we can all agree since Microsoft got lost in the sauce with making the Kinect a thing (and it actually sold extremely well, but they couldn't get a single game outside of Just Dance to get anyone interested in it) and Sony got it's second wind and turned their No Games machine into the cinematic blockbuster game machine. BUT THE ONE THING THE XBOX 360 HELD OVER THE PS3 was that the online functionality was top class. Stellar stuff. Xbox Live party chats and following up with friends was infinitely better than anything anyone else was providing, but the real hidden star in four seasons was that Microsoft basically invented streaming movies??? with this hunk of junk that fried itself??? and it's very odd to remember??? They essentially pioneered rental streaming which lead to Netflix streaming which then was essentially exclusive to the Xbox 360 for some time. Ironically, this major victory ended up biting Microsoft in the ass and doomed the Xbox One. They went all in on making the Xbox One the home multimedia platform, only for smart TVs and other streaming devices to take the scene and make all of that completely pointless. Nobody cares that your game console can stream Netflix movies because every other device in the world can natively do that now. Personally, I think this generation kind of overall was a big messy mixed bag and I think I still prefer the Xbox 360's exclusives over the PS3's. The global recession hitting right when this generation was getting some steam and then the skyrocketing cost to make anything people wanted kind of stunted these console libraries. It was basically a killing spree for so many classic game companies and studios for awhile there. BUT THE 360 HAD HALO 3 AND NINJA GAIDEN 2 SO IT'S SUPERIOR [/QUOTE]
