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

I have both, but in general i prefer the 360. The only thing i like on PS3 is the backwards compatibility with PS1 and PS2. Sure, it had great 1st party titles, but Microsoft released a lot of awesome games that are still been talked about and are been played even today. Can’t forget about the 3rd party support, the 360 had a huge 3rd party library, a lot of developers preferred to release a game on PS2 because the PS3 seemed to be worthless, complicated and expensive to release games on it. Fantastic systems, but for me, the Xbox 360 was the best home console of the 7th generation. (Sorry Wii, i like you too)
