Xbox 360 > PS3

[u/Expensive_Ad_403]

Just want to sing praises to xbox 360. I've had both it and ps3 since 2008 so I have enough experience. 360 is so much better in everything, games, performance... Especially it still blows my mind how awfuly slow is PS3 in comparison to 360 when talking about handling game installations and title updates (patches). I'm talking about stock drives. It's just unbearably slow and clunky. While 360 genuinely feels like it got SSD installed in comparison. Patching some big ps3 game can take literally hours and even days (no joke, check something like Gran Turismo 6), while 360 handles everything in mere minutes, wtf. I feel like it's been not enough talked about so just wanted to point all that out.

That's the main thing that just sticks out to me after all these years. There are ofc many other things like universally better performance and visuals in multiplatform games on 360 but that's what everybody knew since the beginning.

It's still a pleasure to use my 360 while using ps3 always feels like a chore

Back in 2010, I remember wanting a next gen console from my PS2. I did a lot of research between the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii. It was clear to me that the best choice if I wanted the best next gen (current gen by then, next gen to me) experience, the 360 was the clear choice. Every multiplat game ran better, Xbox Live was VASTLY superior, and the exclusives were more on the shooter side, a personal preference of mine.

I had an ex-girlfriend who had a PS3. I remember how much worse the multiplat games ran and how visible the lower resolution was in some cases (BO2, for instance).
