[POLL] Should I Keep My PS3?
Posted: June 19th, 2009, 4:15 pm
Lately, I've been thinking about selling my PS3, as I've barely played it ever since I finished MGS 4, nearly a year ago. Since then, it's just been getting dust. Here's my current situation:
* Mainly a PC gamer, as I own a high spec PC (Intel Core 2 Quad 9650 @ 3.6 GHz, Radeon HD4870 X2).
* Currently only own 1 PS3 game, Metal Gear Solid 4.
* Most of the big PS3/XBox360 hits (i.e. Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty: World at War, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Street Fighter IV, Mass Effect, Last Remnant, etc.) are also on PC. With my PC, I can run all of these games at higher resolutions and graphic settings than the PS3 or XBox360 could ever play them at at. In other words, if a PC version is available, I will get that version.
* Aside from FFXIII, the PS3's future game prospects are not that appealing to me.
* I own a backwards compatible PS3, which I can play the roughly seven PS2 games on it. However, most of the games I own are nearly fully playable on PCSX2 emulator for PC. Using PCSX2, the PS2 games would look better than playing on PS3 anyway.
* I don't watch or own any Bluray movies. I watch upscaled DVD movies using my HTPC.
I've also have been thinking I could sell my PS3 and get the XBox360. Upcoming games for XBox360 seem to be more appealing. However, going this route could lead me into the same situation like the PS3, as several of the big XBox360 games are also either out for PC or eventually going to be released on PC. I fear that this situation will continue, at least until Project Natal comes out.
What do you think I should do? Keep the PS3 and hope for great games to come out soon, sell it, or sell it and replace it with an XBox360?
