Party chat and a thriving competitive ecosystem around flagship exclusives made Xbox the platform of choice for serious online gaming.
Xbox 360's exclusive lineup included genre-defining multiplayer titles that shaped competitive gaming culture for a generation.

Own a PS3

PS3's superior hardware and exclusives like Uncharted, Infamous, and Sly Cooper provide deeper single-player experiences than Xbox could offer.
