We sure get people comparing the 360 and PS3 everyday, and today is another day whereby news is that 360 owners are crossing over to the PS3 for game sequels!

Gamasutra’s report on that OTX Gameplan Insight research shows that, for at least two titles, Xbox 360 owners are planning to invest in the PS3 versions of holiday sequels more so than the other way around. Both Assassin’s Creed II and Modern Warfare 2 are seeing a shift in platform choice that favors the PS3, according to OTX.

Why defect? Gamasutra’s report doesn’t speculate on that, but one might assume the reasons are two-fold. In the case of Modern Warfare 2, the option to play the game’s multiplayer portions without the need for an Xbox Live Gold account may be a factor.

So you see, Xbox and PS3 have their pros and cons, and looks like the Xbox limits the multiplayer in this case.

And in addition to that, Walmarts decided to slash the price of the Xbox 360 this Saturday. It’s going at a price of 199 and a 100 dollars gift card will be given too!

Looks like we can expect more game slashes in the upcoming months :3
