Well judging on PS3/XBOX 360...XBOX wins.
I play both consoles and the PS3 is crap compared to XBOX.
Online connection in sooo much better on xbox live.
And yes it will cost alot of money..but it will be worth every penny.

I don't think I will have enough in me to buy and switch over to Xbox 720


BTW, it will probably be an arm and a leg to buy

Live is going to cost 300$ says post below??

bottenfield ummmmm... neither because consoles are a waste and are slowing down the gaming industry. We on pc will have specs that are almost twice as fast even when either of these are released, sorry to say and at a much cheaper price tag :p

A good gaming PC costs WAY more then an Xbox with 2 controllers and live for a year with the newest game you can get.

Let's see here (note, these are all regular prices):

Xbox 360 (250GB version, cause let's face it, the 4GB one sucks)- $300
Live -$60
2 Controllers - $100
New game- $60
_____________
Total: $520

Now, for 520 dollars, you can build a pretty decent gaming PC for yourself. But let's extend this further. There are deals on Steam all the time, for sometimes half-off or more than what you would get on consoles. You save tons of money, especially if you buy a decent amount of games in the lifespan of your console/PC. In addition, it's not fair to only count 1 year of Live. In an average 5 year console generation, you'd be spending $300 of Live. Not to mention that when the new consoles come out, they'll be about $400. So here is a revised list of what the costs will be like next gen over the course of 5 years (not including games):

Xbox 720- $400
Live- $300
Extra controller- $60
______________________
Total= $760

IDK about you, but for around the same price, I can get a decent gaming PC for about 760, including upgrades over about 4 years (2 years per upgrade), for the same price. Not to count all the deals there are with Steam. Basically, consoles, in the long term, do not have a price advantage over PC's, and PC's can come out cheaper over time. That's why next gen, I'm going to be a PC gamer.

Not everyone buys everything new im pretty sure everyone buys preowned games or does rentals more then buy new stuff. 2 controllers in not even necessary for most gamers, new games cost $60 on ppc as well -_-, i have a gaming pc still dont use it that much and got pretty much every amazing game. New xbox every 5-8 years woody doo 400 bucks more Graphic Cards every 2 years $150 and up

First of all, it doesn't matter whether you buy new, or used, PC games are still cheaper, especially when Steam and other sites have their gaming sales. Console games are overpriced, period.

There are tons of past Steam, Origin, etc deals that you can find with a simple Google search. Also, about the 2 controllers thing, most people will need 2, if a friend decides to come over.

If a graphics card update is $150, and you're updating your computer every two years, that will total about $300 in upgrades every four years? I would even say that you could upgrade every three years, which means $300 in upgrades for 6 years. The cost of Live alone is more than that ($360). Again, PC's offer you a better gaming experience, and the cost of them can actually turn out to be cheaper than consoles, especially over the long run.

Everybody will have one or the other console. By then thing will have changed

im definatly buying the xbox 720

While this may be true, Pc games get hacks way more often then System Games.

So? That's a good thing. On PC, you have the choice of more mods such as this:

And those were just a few I found from a quick Google search. Can you get that kind of customizability on the Xbox/PS/Wii U? No.

DAYZ!!!!!!!
Anyways, PC IS better than any console ever.

Eh both have their perks. PC is for those who are tech savvy, know their ins and outs of the hardware as well as a basic understanding of drivers, operating systems, and overall compatibility. While it's really costly you're no doubt going to get the best graphics, however graphics aren't everything. I have more fun playing the Xbox because it's way more social and engaging with friends. There's no need to download skype, or any other defragmented way of communication, it's all there. (Yes there is steam but its not the same) although I wouldn't imagine playing minecraft with a remote control or playing Devil May Cry with a keyboard. That's just silly.

"Yes there is steam but it's not the same" it is exactly the same, what are you talking about?

You don't need to be tech savvy to use a gaming computer or set one up. A few google searches and YouTube videos will help you. Or you can just order a prebuilt pc.

iModzGamez I do think the Xbox 720 will be a bigger console than PS3. Xbox 720 will be upgrading tons of things, I think they might even do a built in kinnect, better voice sensor, more memory, better everything. :) I am going all otu for Xbox.

Its a new generation of consoles. Both the "Xbox 720" and "PS4" will be better than this generation.

It is also funny how everyone in the comments is saying how the 720 will be "better" than the PS4 when both consoles don't even have confirmed specs yet. Sad how severe these Consoles Wars get.

Xbox will always be the most popular

Xbox is always going to be better
