Game Selection

[Casdawer]

Good afternoon,

With the PS3 Slim coming out in 2 days i am slighty tempted to get one. At the moment i have the Xbox 360 and i was thinkin about trading it in for a PS3 Slim as Game/Gamestation are doing a deal and i would like a Blu-Ray player.

Now the only thing that is putting me off doing it is game selection. I know that most games now come out for the Xbox and the PS3 but i know that there are always going to be Xbox exclusives; Fable 3 being one of them.

I've had a look around some sites and made a list of all the games that i want and 99.9% of them are coming out for the PS3. The only 2 that arn't coming out for the PS3 that i want are Halo: ODST, Fable 3 and Theif 4 but Theif will probably come out on the PC as well.

Now i do not buy a PS3 just because of 2 games or do i trade in my Xbox and live without Halo and Fable (which might find themselves on the PC)

Are there any games that i have missed out that are coming out for the Xbox that i am not aware of?

Thanks guys.

I felt the same when i got my PS3 all be it at least a year and half ago now. I decided just to save up and have both 360/PS3 that way you get best of both and dont miss any exclusive games from either consol so if you can wait just save up and buy one.

Probably loads you have missed that are exclusive to 360. For this year I can think of L4D2 that you missed and I am sure others.

Don't worry about Fable 3, it is due for xmas 2010. Splinter Cell: Conviction, Alan Wake, ODST will be out before it! If there is only 2 games you want on 360, ditch it, historically a lot of the exclusives come to PC, eventually.

I'm getting a work bonus in about 2 months time so i can wait and get it that way, but then how do i decide what console to get a game on?

Do i get it for the Xbox or do i get it for the PS3? My brain is not complex enough for these kind of decisions =/

I have both and found the way I choose which platform I got games on was by:

A) Have any reviews stated its worse on one console than another (For example, The Orange Box, Ghostbusters)

B) Which console do most of my mates play, and am I likely to play them online with this game

C) Achievements

I do pretty much same as above, Achievements dont come into it for me but for example id prefer to play Fifa 09 on PS3 but all my friends play Fifa on the 360 so i always get Fifa on that.
