2009: Best PS3 exclusive lineup ever, 2010 looks even greater

The seventh generation of consoles is in full swing now. Nintendo ran away with the casual market, Microsoft is doing well, and Sony finally got its groove back. But for the latter, it wasn't always rosy, in fact, if you listened to the media in 2006, 2007, and even 2008 when the PS3 was already doing great, you would have thought Sony's Playstation brand would die. But the so called journalists baseless predictions were wrong; they were dead wrong.

It's believed that you make or break a console depending on the amount of first party "exclusive" titles available for said system. Well if that saying rings true, Sony is here to stay.

let's be real, who REALLY thinks Agent will come out next year? R* is gonna take it's time developing it and make it incredible, IMO no way it's coming out in 2010.

either way, Sony did own the competition this year, and next year looks just as good.

Funny how that is. We get Yakuza 4 while you guys get your hands on Yakuza 3.

and you guys can import it to
soo what was your point?

But, why import it if you're not going to understand what's being said?
To try out the game-play - sure! But, story-wise, you're not going to be able to understand unless you know Japanese or it's been localized. I just feel bad for the gamers at NA and EU that have to wait for the JRPG's and games like Yakuza 3 + 4, that's all. ;P

JRPGS are pretty much a niche market here. I think we can deal with a few late arrivals. Quit with the fake sympathy and feeling bad crap.

@Feral_Gamer

I see. Kind of like FPS and TPS here in Japan. *-* I like FPS, but I think it's too hard for me. =[

EDIT: Wait..Fake sympathy? Who said I was faking?

I have you know that I actually lived there in NA with my family 'til I moved here in Japan for University and believe me - I know how it feels.

This blog is pretty much stating the obvious. Things get better over time, it's not as though Sony will take a step backwards and release fewer exclusives next year. That would be the MS plan for this year ;)

12 - Last 360 game I got,Fifa09
Got Fifa10 on PS3.games I bought new on 360 in 3 years 50. Games I bought on PS3 from December 35. So...me and many others are just ditching 360.I still have three 360s! After 2 RRODs and 2 Disc drive problems,broke 5 xbox 360 games,I got two arcades to keep as backup.no need for em now. .only buy certain 360 exclusives..and honestly,theres just Mass Effect for me on there.maybe Gears. .but,The MP is broken and thus not worth a renewl of Teh Gold account.which costs $110 U.S here anyway. So ,I got 3 xbox360s , 1 PS3...but..it only does everything..

13 - Nice list. :)
still have to get Rachet and Uncharted 2 plus GOW collection :D

Honestly, if you're getting a ps3 for the games it'll cost as much as the launch price because of the many games you're getting with it :P

I doubt Killzone and Resistance 3 would make it next year. Maybe late 2010 or mid 2011

$1000 on games next year. the joy of being 23 successful and engaged ;)

one last note guys and girls lets respect each others opinions. if MariusElijah think that MAG sucks let it be. give your opinion but don't hate on his and don't hate on anyone's opinions.

Not better than the 360. The 360 has more established games that will sure be a hit. Halo Reach will be thee game of 2010. No questioning that.
Shut this user up Let user speak
miggza - 50 days 18 hours ago
14.1 - hmm.
What do you mean by established?

And to be honest, for me, Halo Reach would be the GOTY 2010 FOR 360, not for ps3 and definitely not overall for all platforms. sure it would be the best game for the 360 and just for the 360 next year but when you add games from other platforms like the ps3 and the pc plus the wii you never know.

Another Halo??? I'm sure you weren't complaining when you got "another" Ratchet & Clank or maybe getting "another" Resistance.

Miggza, well who knows who's going to be the best game of the year next year. Their will be big franchises coming out next year. What I mean by established games are games that have already been known to be a AAA title like Splinter Cell, Halo Reach, Mass Effect 2, Fable 3, Crackdown 2, etc... Sony has God of War and GT. Those are the only 2 I can think of that are established. These other unknown games like Agent, Heavy Rain, and even Alan Wake could be a disaster. Too Human, Lair, Africa, etc... are great examples.

14.4 - ohh okay.
I get it now. So what you're saying is that established games are those that are sure hits am i right? Well we'll just have to wait and see. Not all sequels are better than their predecessors and there are under hyped games that prove to be better than those over hyped ones.

14.6 - @ Halo
No-one is saying Ratchet or Resistance will be the game of the 2010.

You are saying Halo Reach will be.

let's see:

It took about 6 years for the first 3 Halos to launch (3 years apart each). Now it's:

Halo Wars 2009
Halo ODST 2009
Halo Reach 2010

Seriously now how can anyone be that exited about Halo anymore? You said it'll be the game of the 2010 right? Come on. They're milking your brains out and you are thrilled about it.

You can't compare Halo Wars with the other 2. They are 2 COMPLETELY different games. Try to compare the 3 Ratchet & Clank games that have the same gameplay released every year. What? You don't call that milking???

GT4 rated lower and sold less (with an install base of 100 million) than Halo 3. Sorry to burst your fantasy bubble but Halo Reach will be the biggest game of 2010.

Halo reach, another game with subpar graphics and gameplay that will be the same generic shooter that uses project pedophile. I mean natal. Have fun with little boys Halo MLG noob. You would be thrilled about playing a game that pretty much says you'll buy anything without much though although it's just your parents actually giving you the money.

Of course you think the 360 has a better line up. Much like I think the PS3 will have a better line up.

BTW, if you wanna talk sales, then the last Halo game released (ODST) did 2 million.

GT3 did 14 million, GT4 did 10 million. To a user base of roughly 25-30 million at the time. I mean, do you HONESTLY believe that there was a 140 million user base when GT3 and GT4 released?

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out of this article.

14.10 - Once again
No-one said Ratchet will be GOTY 2010. And to be precise even this milked out (as you say) Ratchet series has had a longer time periods between releases. Let's see:

R&C tod in 2007

DLC/separately sold mini quest called quest for booty (sold for 20 bucks)in 2008

R&C cit 2009

Resistance franchise had also 2 years in between the 2 games.

It seems that nowadays Halo is even more milked out franchise than these two milked out franchises (as you say) on the PS3. And still you are the one who brought up Halo Reach being the "game of 2010". I (or anyone else) never said such thing about Ratchet or Resistance.

I'm sorry but you just owned yourself.

And btw. How big was the install base of PS2 when GT3 hit?

15 - i'm in the MAG beta, but i deleted it.
i think, since i'm not a fan of SOCOM, i'm not a fan of the style of game that MAG is, which is like a first person SOCOM.

i also didn't have the schedule to play in the beta during beta hours. i was at work, and by the time i'd get home, i'd have about 30 minutes or so to play the beta.

it's just not my type of game. it's a bit too realistic for me. dying in two seconds was just too much.

i won't comment on the visuals, considering the game's scope, but i really enjoyed the controls. really smooth.

i only deleted it because i realized i just didn't have the time to play during beta hours. i feel bad, because i know there was someone who probably could have contributed to the beta more than i could. if i had known about the beta hours before hand, i probably would have given my code to someone who could have gotten more use out of it.

16.1 - Yeah
Beta's are meant to be tested first and enjoyed later (or at the same time) To those saying that MAG is like cod well you are wrong. MAG is nothing like cod. Besides the fact that it's an FPS. MAG is a game of teamwork and cooperation. Playing the beta made me realize that in this game, going rambo is impossible.

Hey twisted, are you in the beta? i think you killed me with a sniper rifle a week ago or something. :|

Based on that list 2009 was a better year for me than 2010 is shaping up to be. I want more games like InFamous, Assassins Creed and Uncharted. Heavy Rain looks like it's going to be a good one. Agent might be good, but not enough info yet. Forget the rest of the list on that site. Those games just aren't for me.

23 - Amazing Lineup...
I bought a launch 60GB back in November 2006 and there was a serious lack of games back then, very few exclusives and sub-par 360 ports. Plus, the media constantly attacking the PS3 and predicting its demise. Constantly defending my purchase and getting eye rolls at Gamestop whenever I would buy a game ("The Xbox version is so much better" they would say or imply)...

Well, what a difference 3 years makes. I was in Best Buy the other day (taking advantage of that amazing buy 2 get 1 sale) and all of the sales guys had PS3s and PSPGos in their pockets! I'm staring at the PS3 section and couldn't believe that I am finally at the point where I have to pick and choose what games to pick up, because there are just too many!!

Not to bash the Xbox, but I used be a little jealous of all of the exclusives... Now, there is nothing on the system to draw me to it... All of the great games are multiplats and other than, maybe, ME2 (probably coming to the PS3) and Splinter Cell (may come to the PS3)... Oh, how the tables have turned!

It is a great time to own a PS3 and it is only getting better!

The Agent, isn't it quite new? In the making...2011 sounds more correct

FFVXIII, 2011 written all over it!

Other then that, I can't WAIT :D It will be AWESOME
