Injustice Tourney Standard Console - XBOX or PS3?

What does Injustice's release have to do with current-gen fighting games being preferred on 360 by most other communities?
You said in your first response that you would prefer Injustice to be played on Xbox in tournaments because fighting games do not typically play well on PS3. That's a generalization and an assumption that Injustice will be the same way.

Right, and are you saying that my logic is faulty? That's like me saying "During the month of May, it was sunny on 70% of the days. Therefore sun is probably the best choice in weather conditions given our environment". Then, you come back with "But, sometimes on those other 30% of days, Rain was triumphant. Surely it should not be ruled out."

There's an old adage that says "if it isn't broken, don't fix it." Currently the 360 runs the previous NRS title better than PS3, and many other fighting games do as well. More on 360 than on PS3. It's not unreasonable to conclude that, based on current evidence, 360 is probably the safer bet until very time-consuming and specific tests are made to see where these differences lie. Just think about how long it took Somberness to get frame data for MK9 recorded.
 
If MK9 had been developed on PS3 would there have been an inferior version of MK9 made for the 360? Maan, microsoft holding us back by having an inferior console.
Probably, yeah, but because it was developed for 360 it is the superior console in this case. And I feel that based upon our evidence and precedent, it is reasonable to conclude that 360 is a solid choice for Injustice as well.

Injustice will likely be PS3 tournament standard because of this. Don't think it'd make much sense to run grassroots tournaments/locals that are on a different platform when you won't be used to the timing when going to majors.

LBSH it should be on 360 - get a etokki x360 converter (buy an inpin as long as you're there) and a PS2 dual shock, you're set for either console. The 360, like it or not, plays games better (less lag/slowdown) and doesn't have blutooth, despite its shortcomings.

edit: I own both consoles, no fanboy bias here.

Xbox lags at the character select. Just ask some of your coco brethren. So it's either dropped combos due to xray's lagging(could happen with supers considering the drastic camera changes), or dropped character selects. I know which I would choose, and I feel based on history that you are right, but that doesn't mean you and I are going to win this argument. I doubt anyone with only a ps3 is going to vote that we use xbox, because they know how annoying it is to have the game run on the console you don't have (because we've been complaining about this since at LEAST before UFGT8).

Guys, games are produced on the inferior console and ported to the superior. Otherwise the game wouldn't work if they made it for the better console and tried porting down

Right now I only have a PS3 and I don't really have an issue with it MK being ran on 360 here in the UK, as I said to shadowebb, it's just a shamefully bad reason.

And the framerate tearing on PS3 (what you guys call "lag") clears up before you can continue your combo after the 5 X-rays in MK9 that launch.
This is why it irks me when people complain about stuff that's completely aesthetic, like I said, it's just apologists grasping at straws.

Of course I whine about switching consoles, but that's not the point. Point is the game runs better on 360 and 360 should be tournament standard because of it. However it is not and never will be, so whatever.

LBSH there is no X-Ray lag on the PS3 version, NRS just decided to make the fights more dramatic by adding slow-motion camera effects to certain attacks, something they weren't able to add onto the inferior 360 version of the game.

There is no real difference between 360 and ps3. Only tech nerds and fan boys say otherwise. Normal people don't give a damn.

Converters aren't expensive, people. You can find PS3-to-360 converters easily.

The fact is, the PS3 version of MK9 is awful. 3 stages are bannable on PS3 in comparison to 360, where Hell doesn't lag and Kratos stage doesn't exist. Also, X-Rays do not have the lag on 360. PS3 is ONLY used because people are weird in that they don't wanna drop 20 bucks for a converter, but don't mind spending 50+ on a pad.

Playpal, plz. The top players are talking about (complaining about) a monitor lagging when they have less than 5ms response time. You can't tell me that they aren't noticing the 1-2 frame input difference when switching from xbox to ps3. Like people say with the monitor situation (and online) you get used to the lag and adjust. Normal people don't care because they aren't competing at the level that some players are. Is there a difference, YES, do I believe it is in xbox's favor, YES, would I like xbox to be the standard, YES, does any of this matter... probably not.

And for semantics, just because something is not noticeable to most doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I've never noticed the difference between air quality in different areas of the U.S. but anyone with the proper equipment can show you that there is a difference.

You obviously forget every tournament that gets run by Keits.

IDK if it's the way PS3 handles USB or if it's the game itself, but there's a difference in timing between the two consoles. GGA goes so far as to bring out the Xboxes when we're preparing for a tournament that will be running the Xbox version of MK.

Idk man, playing with that "godlike" etokki converter at UFGT8 I was getting dropped inputs in casuals. Its hard to say if it was the input bug or the converter itself, so I may be biased in saying that. You can't use the Kratos stage as an excuse, but I'll give you hell, so thats 1 more banned stage. The whole "xray lag" argument is kinda childish if you ask me. How often do people do xrays, and more importantly, is the extra 1-2 seconds it takes going to break your day? I already own several ps3 pads, and people who have ps3's are already set. In the end its not so much the console but your controller that will sway your decision: Are you a stick user who needs to dual mod because a certain tournament is played on the "other" system, or are you a pad user who has to either learn to play with the other console's pad or get a converter? Btw, is there stuff like this in a game such as AE where the porting process messes up the integrity of the game itself? Sorry if I sounded like an ass too.

I always wondered why MK was played on PS3, Xbox is by far the more superior system. Xbox never lags offline, PS3 has random lag and I know certain stages lag on PS3. Xbox does not have laggy x-rays, PS3 does. Ermac's x-ray takes like 5 minutes long to watch on PS3 lmao. Xbox does not have gay banned Kratos stage. Xbox does not have ass low-tier Kratos. Everything about Mortal Kombat 9 is better on Xbox, tournaments should have never started to be on PS3 for this game.

Oh yeah and Xbox has a better dpad
