PS3 exclusives sell 45% better than multiplatform releases

PS3 fanboys don't like to share, it seems. According to EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich, PS3 owners prefer exclusives on their systems. In fact, a title that is exclusive to PS3 will sell 45% better on the system than a multiplatform title. Exclusives on both the Wii and Xbox 360, according to the analyst, only have a "small increase" over multiplatform titles.

I really cannot believe those are consoles graphics.

I mean Uncharted and MGS4 are the best looking games on consoles and they are both PS3 exclusives.

I swear to god this was my first MGS game and I have to say, this game is a system seller.

Hydrolex5790d ago

I remember reading an article that said PS3 GPU is pushing it back.

well MGS4 and Uncharted, the best looking games on consoles showed their middle finger to these article.

Condoleezza Rice5790d ago (Edited 5790d ago )

I have ever read on the internet.I literally laughed mid-way through it,because once I realized the author knew nothing of what he was writing about,I started to look at his writing like one big joke.

Mu5afir5790d ago

U should make it clear that you are talking about the GPU article, and not the one being discussed.

pumpkinpunker5790d ago

Keep telling yourself that Uncharted and MGS4 look better than COD4 X360 and Gears of War and maybe it will come true! MGS4's graphical quality is about on par with Assassin's Creed for the 360. Of course, you probably don't know that because Assassin's Creed looked bad on the PS3.

MGS4 (released yesterday)

Damn, I wateched a bunch of MGS4 footage and sometimes it even looks as bad as Counterstrike: Source in that the gameplay animations are weak (i.e. the characters are as stiff as boards) and they're animations are unrealistic.

KLEPTOMANIAC5790d ago

the open zone is just a small click that way ---------------->

JackBauerIsHIGH5790d ago

Considering you haven't actually PLAYED the game yet, what makes you think we care what you have to say? Us who have actually played this game can tell you straight up that MGS4 has AAA presentation (sound is off the charts and graphics are as clean as you can imagine). COD4 on 360 looked identical to the PS3 version, maybe even worse, so your baseless argument doesn't fly here.

Gears of War? Counterstrike?? Really? You really shouldn't talk of things you do not know. If you haven't played the game you aren't qualified to compare it to anything.

Start there, then try again in a few days.

pumpkinpunker5790d ago

I didn't really like the original and hated the second one. I won't be fooled again. In my opinion Kojima is an over-rated storyteller. His stories act out like bad Hollywood blockbusters. This wouldn't be so bad (it's a video game, afterall!) if he didn't ram them down your throat with each installment in the form of drawn out, badly edited cut-scenes. I wish someone would tell him more does not equal better but I suppose he's the emperor with no clothes at Konami.

If he wants to make a game like a movie then I will judge the game like a movie.

As for it's graphics, I don't have to play a game to judge its graphical quality when a ton of gameplay footage and screenshots are available online. Sorry, Gears of War and COD4 looks better. Don't get me wrong. MGS4 looks slick but it's hardly the end-all, be-all of next gen graphics.

That comment was one of the most poorly written and downright pathetic comments
I have ever read on the internet. I literally laughed mid-way through it,because once I realized the you knew nothing of what you are writing about, I started to look at your writing like one big joke.

See what I did there ;)

PS: I'd like to give a shout out to Condoleezza Rice!!

Shadow Flare5790d ago

I am 17 hours into playing MGS4 (got it wednesday) and it is phenominal. Seriously the best game i have played since FF7. For true die-hard Metal Gear fans, this game gives you everything you want and more. The story is so incredible how everything pans out. PS3 FTMFW

SaiyanFury5790d ago

@1

I said this game would be a system seller on an earlier article and someone actually disagreed with me even though the photos showed people buying PS3s to get the game. MGS4 will be awesome. No doubt about it.

marinelife95789d ago

PS3 exclusives sell 45% better because the good ones are really worth buying.

Uncharted
Gran Turismo
MGS4

Wait until God of War 3 and Final Fantasy XIII come out they'll move a ton of PS3's as well.

Gaylo 3 and Gears of S**t.

Seriously don't disagree me if you havn't seen the graphics.

So now we know PS3 is the most powerful console because 360 cannot do games like MGS4

PoSTedUP5790d ago (Edited 5790d ago )

he just said "gears of sh*t"!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAahahaha

all jokes aside, gears is an awesome game, and gears 2 is gunna be a must buy.

"gears of sh*t".. lol

omg son you crack me up for real..ahhhhhhhhahahahah

Hydrolex5790d ago

but to all those f@gbox 360s out there, MGS4 looks 10 times better than that blurry sh!t greenish game.

PoSTedUP5790d ago

ohhh.. ok.. still fvcking hilarious though!!!

poos35790d ago

HAHA THIS ARTICLE IS FUNNY IF THIS is correct than mean xbox exclsuvie seel 400% better than muliplats just look at halo 3 ,gears of war 8 million sold and many more these articles are so stupid sony is faling while you guiys glaoth over n4g news which is crap microsfot is actually giving developers reall sales facts not vga charts then the dev look at sony and micro sfot sales and they then choose to make all their games for the 360 as in th e real world the 360 is out selling the ps3 on the gaming front

PoSTedUP5790d ago

there he goes again talking all crazy like he knows stuff.........are you taking silly pills?

Hydrolex5790d ago (Edited 5790d ago )

Did I hear it right ?

Did you compare Gaylo 3 with 1000 jaggies around characters and ugly graphics to the master of GRAPHICS MGS4 ?

MGS4 has no jaggies at all. WTF? MGS4 is absolutely 2008 GOTY

You seriously need to buy a PS3 instead of bashing it. Sell your 360 and add some money then welcome to the PEACE side

pwnsause5790d ago (Edited 5790d ago )

Rofl comparing a 640p game to a game thats running 768p native, which got forced down to 720p due to standards HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH AAHAHAHA Laugh with me!!!! *goes into laughing octopus mode* face it bots, wheres your god now bots!?!?!?!

theKiller5790d ago

how do we expect some cheap ports to sell better??
while ps3 exclusives pushes the bar??

t-0_ot-5789d ago

Trying to go for Fanboy of the Week... again?

Have you not learned yet that graphics does not make a game good? It just makes an already good game better..

mgs4 is going to sell 6-7 millions. I personally know a few friends who are going to buy the bundle.

wallace10005790d ago (Edited 5790d ago )

Do you guys think that analysis included Halo 3 for the 360?

MADGameR5790d ago

You are just another IGNORANT 360 fanatic. Are you stupid? Gears of War used THE Unreal Engine, Metal Gear Solid 4 did'nt! If MGS4 used the UE, it would'nt looked better than Gearz.

Marceles5790d ago

Well we like quality made stuff

supahbad5789d ago

i really do prefer exclusives, i didn't buy gta4, but i did buy uncharted, blah, blah. and i'm definitely buying MGS4, i dont know why i just like them more, they put more effort it seems in most 1st party games

LittleBigPlanet 3 Servers Are Officially Shut Down 'Indefinitely,' Sony Confirms

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

6h ago
rlow16h ago

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

Fieyy5h ago

First the Helldivers launch and then this

Sony still can’t run online services/games.

-Foxtrot5h ago

Do you not get tired creating duplicate accounts...

It's super sad at this point

Knightofelemia3h ago

Last time I remember Helldivers is doing great with players both PC and Playstation.

Fieyy3h ago

And how was it at launch? A disaster for weeks.

arkard1h ago

How was that Sonys fault?

Fieyy1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Is Sony not the publisher?

jjb19811h ago(Edited 1h ago)

It's crazy that you keep making accounts just to be a troll. You went through the trouble of making it just to try to stir the fanboy pot. 🤡 activities.

Fieyy1h ago

Still got your attention though huh ;)

just_looken1h ago

What needs to be highlighted by this is that the series has had 4 main games then that go kart spin off yet sony let them all die.

There is 0 games like this on ps5 and to my knowledge 0 first party main kids games no tech demo crap

Sony purchased Media Molecule studio the ip then tossed it away letting it rot for over 7 years yet the community carried on until now were we have lost 16 years on all games of content along with no replacement.

Everyone goes on about ea killing studios but sony has killed way way more but its fine its sony they can do no wrong.

Before the sony blidboys track me down again go fire up your holy boxes all the dlc they tossed out all the trophies and all the user content needs a server side handshake that no longer works. Yes offline single player version 1.0 works but that is it.

Media Molecule was not cut i know but they only made LBP and dreams it was reported they just missed the chopping block
https://gamerant.com/little...

Do not forget the dreams game was tossed out 2020 but 3 years later support was pulled
https://www.digitaltrends.c...

All in all this is another failure at sony on a long long list in the past 10 years

Inverno13m ago

It's kind of hard to disagree when SONY has a history of abandoning many of their IPs. They killed Mod Nation and turnt it into LBP Karting because of brand recognition but left it to die too. They made their own Smash Bros only to rush the studio, and turn the game into an advert for recent release at the time and still let it die. They shut down PS Home for more or less the same reason, they left it to rott till it became too broken and exploited to bother fixing.

Tacoboto42m ago

I feel bad for Media Molecule. For the ideas they have it seems they need a publisher that supports games like this and Dreams especially for as many players as possible.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC7h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer8h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6027h ago(Edited 7h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya6h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde6h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx5h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro13h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B11h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff218311h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh10h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia10h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins11h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal10h ago

The first game was the best imo.
