I would have had to find the batteries, first of all, if we even had any. Sure, it was my fault for letting the controller die, but there's something to be said for a rechargeable controller in terms of convenience, especially for lazy oblivious people like myself. Random question: In a fight, could the Kinect beat up the Pixar lamp? The Kinect isn't ready for the big leagues. Naturally, you don't need to buy a Kinect or any other motion-gimmick-hardware, but the Kinect does seem to occupy an overly-large parcel of psychological real estate at Microsoft.
There's a plethora of new Kinect titles, and very few top-notch new Xbox exclusives hitting the market these days. Is Microsoft placing too many eggs in its Kinect basket? If so, it's worrisome. For one thing, the Kinect is not nearly what it's cracked out to be.
We've played mostly demos for the Kinect, but it's been a really frustrating experience for both us and our five-year-old. It constantly drops players and is about as far from precise as you can get. Don't get me wrong - the concept is fantastic, and some of the games are fun, especially for kids. Last, but not least, is the PS Vita, Sony's latest and greatest hand-held gaming device.
The world may be moving toward mobile, but the PS Vita is a really impressive gaming machine that can connect directly to your PS3.
If you want hand-held games, Microsoft still has some serious catching up to do. If you go with a Vita, you'll be better off pairing it with a PS3 than an Xbox What do you think? Outside of a handful of good Xbox exclusives, is there anything else that makes that console better than Sony's PS3? Did I miss any compelling reasons to buy the PS3 over the Xbox ?
Final thought: Better still, build yourself a gaming PC. Sure, not every title will make it to PC, but you'll have a much wider array of indie titles to choose from, as well as mods and customizations that make consoles pale in comparison.
Still better: buy all three because, you know, you're made out of money, right? Follow me on Twitter or Facebook. Read my Forbes blog here. This is a BETA experience.

So what does this all mean? Why does Xbox vs PS3 still matter? The actual decisive numbers of which console sold more and when is irrelevant when considering that the pop cultural narrative is false.
In fact, the Wii decimated them both with million sold. The PS3 actually had value even despite its flaws. The system is way better than Western gamers gave it credit for and the numbers prove it. Share Tweet Pin Share.
