Playstation 3 has best exclusives

The Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 each have important titles, but which one has better exclusives? Both can lay claim to a fair share of AAA games, but one definitely has the edge over the other. So which lineup is stronger? Which one will give you more bang for your hard earned dollar? Let's start by taking a look at the biggest exclusives for each console.

[Leio]

Thats a fact

[Nineball2112]

I should report this as Not Newsworthy, because everyone knows this!

Haha... j/k.

[SullyDrake]

I thought it was common knowledge by now?

[chrisnick]

sony just steam rolled the 360 last year and just kept it pushing....more games, more AAA exclusives....(more money out of my pocket...man im gonna be super broke)

[InfectedDK]

The only 360 exclusive in that list I actually have to admit I would really like on the PS3 is Fable 2. But that is the only game. I don't want to buy a new console that gets old too quick with a big failure rate and expensive online play. So I guess I'll survive without Fable 2 with the massive PS3 exclusive lineup available right now and the upcoming. Nothing, I mean nothing can surpase the PS3 exclusive lineup.

[Ghoul]

allthough i do agree that sofar sony has the better upcoming portoflio of exclusives.

BUT

i wouldnt call out ms as the looser as long as E³ isnt over. ms showed pretty much nothing last year the chances that they come up with several new games is much likely.

couse sofar nintendo has the worst exclusive, they may have tons of em (wiimote bound) but most of them are really really bad.

[heroicjanitor]

I think it is extremely unlikely that microsoft has many big games, they might have 2 or 3 decent ones though there is no way Microsoft could have kept any BIG games hidden this long, and certainly not as many as Sony have already announced/will announce.

[velcry]

Guys. Look through my comments and you'll see that I've always been slightly critical of Xbox, and slightly more supportive of PS3.

But this article made me a bit sick inside. Yes, I should have been happy that there was a "pro-PS3" article, but this is not the way to do it.

1. Author says Xbox exclusives are all the same, PS3's have more variety - dear author, don't set an artificially small pool of games, and don't just focus on explaining the PS3 side of things. A Gears experience is very different from a Left4Dead experience.

2. Author says Sony's casual games are much "fresher", better than Xbox's - dear author, you forgot to mention how SingStar has lousy support in the US, how Buzz is not exactly for everyone. Remember a little thing called the Wii?

3. Author says that PS3's capabilities (Blu-ray space, "obvious power") make it better than the Xbox - dear author, not all developers can or want to take advantage of that, and it is too easy to dismiss the Xbox as technically inferior. It's not that simple a debate.

Please. To all blog writers, or pseudo-journalists. If you can't keep yourself distanced, and can't see things objectively, you will reveal your bias simply through the stuff you write.

[FlameBaitGod]

Didn't need an article 2 tell me this, its just obvious, and who ever disagrees is just a 360 fan boy

[Snatcher]

It's all about the taste. If you like Halo 3 and Gears 2, go for the 360. If you like Uncharted and Metal Gear Solid 4 go for the PS3. There is no such thing as ''the best exclusives''. It's just what game you prefer.

[Doctor_Doom]

and Thats a FACT XD s/

[Einhander]

Whether they're the best or not is debatable but i sure as hell like em a lot more than what other consoles offer

[ultimolu]

No doubt.

Now, to move my lazy butt and finish beat them...>.>

[CaseyRyback_CPO]

or don't say peep. just hit disagree in frustration because you purchased the wrong console, dont worry that price drop is coming soon. you too can enjoy current/new AAA's one day.

[JokesOnYou]

Well OK, I thought his list was pretty damm good and alot better than ps3 list just add Forza2:

Halo 3 (I'm huge Halo fan, depth/gameplay/multiplayer=unm atched)
Gears of War 1 & 2 (love the in your face style action,badass shooter)
Left 4 Dead (great team online game+ free new DLC is fckin sweet)
Mass Effect (1 of my top 3 games this gen on any console)
Fable 2 (really different game, story keeps getting interesting)
Crackdown (all out fun, raise hell, kickass co-op style too)
Forza2 (best driving game, the physics are unbeatable,especial with a wheel)

Metal Gear Solid 4 (one of my fav franchises, although for me the cutscenes take me out of the game)
Killzone 2 (great game I own it, still I wish GG had blew me away with something fresh)
Little Big Planet (own it, was good for a few hrs, not my thing)
Valkyria Chronicles (don't like jrpg's, just like I didn't list SO4 which alot of people liked on 360)
Uncharted (good game, not anything special for me, lacks replay value)
Ratchet and Clank (solid game)

Now obviously I'll get alot of disagrees on this site but thats why we game for ourselves and I know which games I prefer= 360 is a beast so I have a hard time taking him seriously when he says 360 lacks variety. Also I like that even with multiplats micro has a way of getting exclusive DLC for big games such as Fallout and GTA franchises, that plus the online community is a big reason I think micro still has a big game advantage that me and most of the folks I know love= and its more than "mine is better than yours" talk; alot of 360 folks actually GO BUY THEM, whats even more strange is they play them too. lol

JOY

edit: NO Casey, I'm talking about games that are exclusive to consoles, all I said about GTA and Fallout was that getting some extra content is also a bonus for the 360 owners, now if you're talking about PC thats fine but evidently the bulk of the sales favor 360 which mean ultimately those games are pushing the 360 sales, which is why every site even this "blog" refers to them as exclusive to 360 because THEY ARE NOT ON PS3, so for those looking to choose a console based on its library those games help 360 sell. If you're truly a pc/ps3 guy then at least micro is selling something to the competition who would otherwise be just buying ps3 games, so hopefully you'll start buying MORE pc versions of 360 games so you can help micro at least sell half of what the do on 360. Everybody wins. btw save the sales rant, I could easily pull last year this time n4g npd sales posts with plenty of sony folks comments about how its over for micro because of a small sales lead.

[CaseyRyback_CPO]

In a conversation of exclusives.
360 has good games, but not more exclusives. Let me know when Ps3 sales has anything to do with having more quality AAA titles being released and planned to release in the future. No 360 owners bought Lips or Banjo, thats for sure. But does it matter? Nope because rare is still going to pump out titles.

One day you'll understand that games are selling fine, minus 30 million dollar ad campaigns with full cgi commercials running 247. I think Jaffe said it best when talking about PS3 exclusives/working with them. Sure you can make a multiplat that will sell better, but you're going to have a better exclusive product/challenge. And that trickles down to gameplay experiences. You want to talk sales, but you want to ignore the fact that the PS3 still has a higher attach ratio, which used to be important around here until sony started leading.

I'm sure 360 owners enjoy DLC in lieu of any actual games, just like im sure you are going to enjoy paying to unlock more content that is already shipped on the dvd disc in the future. I'd imagine that if the 360 did release a variety multitude of titles, you wouldn't have the starvation factor of nothing to play, so why not buy X. We will never know though.

PS3 owners enjoy those same good games as well, and second to none exclusives. Which is what gaming was about a few years ago.

edit:

joy,

There is no such thing as "buh buh exclusive to console" You dont see PS3 folk running around yelling about the Agency being a console "Exclusive"!, nor is anyone on the Ps3 fence every trying to reinvent the definition of 1 to 2.Which has been the term for years. Pc owners dont say "oo we've got all these exclusive to Pc games" either, and you know that.

Always seems to be the 360 side. Again, the only reason you'd get a disagree is because you're talking about multiplatform titles. One day exclusive might mean... multiplatform, but not today, and not in the past.

The whole ms still gets money argument is tired. Its obvious, but has nothing to do with justifying redefining multiplatform as exclusive. IGN doesn't call multiplats exclusive, neither does Gamespot, Times, but you're right. xboxkings.com does list Pc/360 titles as exclusive.

Can't have your cake and eat it too im afraid. your list has multiplatforms, simple as that. despite of what it does, or who may benefit, im playing L4d on my 5 year old PC still. And those sales dont seem to help Ms's game divisions that they have been shutting down.

@ sales talk and last year. Trolls will be trolls, are they the law that binds you? Since when is what they say poignant? Dont' get distracted by what naism said, and stick to the fact that you're listing multiple platform titles as exclusives to refute the story. One of these things has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Stick to what you're talking about and stop trying to hide behind other arguments. I told you why you'd get disagrees, simple as that.

-- and you're not even getting that many disagrees :)

[Snatcher]

You just said positive things about the 360 games, nothing negative. While you mentioned a lot of negative for the PS3 games.

You are obviously a fanboy.

Halo 3 - Bad campaign compared to the first one, good online though.

Gears 2 - Great game, but it had problems online at release.

Left4Dead - How can you like this game? It s*cks completely ass. Very basic weapons used for uninspiring shooting action. Very old graphics engine and sound engine. Little monsters in the game in my opinion, and the campaign is horrible. Mediocre I say.

Mass Effect - Awesome games, can't think of anything negative about it.

Fable II - This game also is mediocre in my opinion. The combat system is repetitive and easy to manipulate. The sidequest are not fun, and there are too many of them. The choices have little impact on actual gameplay which dissapoints me.

Crackdown - Nothing to say about this one really.

Forza Motorsport 2 - Great game, have nothing really negative to say.

[JokesOnYou]

You totally misunderstand the point of my post. It was NOT to say that I found no faults in those 360 games, it WAS to show that first those are some of the best 360 games and generally WHY I liked them more so than the competition.

As for the ps3 list it was to once again show what are considered generaly the best ps3 games and what I generaly didn't like about them, NOTICE I was over-generalizing for the sake of keeping it short, actually those are great games in their own right, I thought it was clear with my approach that I was trying to differentiate WHY its possible someone may not think they are as great as some believe, just as YOU did for a few 360 games, I disagree but I can't say you're wrong. I do however have gripes about most games whether it be ps3 or 360 but I was just trying to say that my overall general impression of both consoles BEST GAMES was that for my tastes it was the 360. Which means we all have a different opinion and it will never be anymore than just that= OPINIONS, just like this "blog". IF having a different opinion than YOU or the AUTHOR makes me a fanboy then so be it. lol

@Casey, yes you may enjoy L4D on your 5 yr PC but the numbers show that YOU ARE NOT THE NORM, so therefore its valid to say that although micro has a dual strategy THESE GAMES SELL THE 360 SIGNIFICANTLY, *IF* in fact 360 hardware sales were decreasing YOY like sony for the last 5 mo, along with lower 360 software sales while PC software sales of the SAME GAME WERE GROWING *THEN*, I could not and would not say that YOU being able to buy the game on PC IS IRREVELANT to its importance for 360, because it would then show a negative trend for the 360, but since its obviously NOT THE CASE those games INDEED PROVIDE HUGE INCENTIVE TO OWN A 360 for MOST GAMERS, lol even higher sales without having ALOT of "true" exclusives is impressive for a console.

JOY

"You cant speculate on what MS's bullet proof strategy is, neither can I"
-Surely I can, I didn't say it was "bullet proof" but either way you don't survive against a brand that dominated the market last gen by accident. So whether you like it or not whatever you call those 360 games that are NOT of ps3 they ARE playing a big part in its success. Obviously we simply disagree about many things, so you believe what you will and of course I continue to do so, Good day sir.

[CaseyRyback_CPO]

none of this still has anything to do with your 360 list of exclusives.. including multiplatform titles. And I've commented already on why I brought up l4d.

Which is what you can't seem to get your head wrapped around. ;-). You cant speculate on what MS's bullet proof strategy is, neither can I. What I can do is point out that multiplatform isn't exclusive. which is the topic of the article. Sure you can pretend MS has some amazing strategy outside of starting early throwing out a few games and buying DLC.. but I'd say thats not the topic.

L4D is a multiplatform title. Not a "console exclusive" its not on the PS3. So when you compare Exclusives vs Exclusives, you cant really list multiplats. Which is why your list is not only old, but proving the point that the PS3 has better exclusives by all measurable industry standards as far as quality is concerned.

you're arguing about sales with no one. just fyi.

[FlameBaitGod]

I use to watch your comments cus i would laugh but man, you write to much crap, Ima have to put u on ignore list. Ill remember all those funny jokes you use to post 4 ever bro. RIP

Have fun playing with game sales instead of the actual games!

[CaseyRyback_CPO]

Ps3 has better exclusives. The 360 has less. You can try your hardest to spin that into something else, or change the subject into whether or not multiplatform games are financially successful, but I'm not going to go along with it. I commend your efforts, but you've just derailed into the typical response of, teh Saeellees! Same thing when graphical topics come up "buh buh teh core gameplay!" Yes, sales are important, and yes gameplay is important, but no one is arguing that one is of severely greater importance than the other, and thats the argument you're going after. The one no one made.

MS/360 Fans have created the made up title of "Exclusive to Pc and 360 and not on Ps3!" While the rest of the gaming world sticks to the normal titles for games. It needs to be addressed, especially when you try to debate my claim using multiplatform titles.

So again, if you think that the 360 has more exclusive titles. Feel free to list them.

[Perjoss]

"Thats a fact"

in reality, it's just a matter of opinion, like most things in life.

[Lifendz]

I know a lot of 360 owners that would disagree.

I've shown these people MGS4, LBP, R2, KZ2, and Uncharted and all I got was a "meh....nothing looks better than Gears 2."

you're just not going to win this argument because so many are fanboys.

[Jaces]

Why bother to convince fanboys when you obviously know its all for naught.

Just like JOY, no point in convincing him. His opinion is his alone like so many others out there. Here let me show you:

Halo 3 (Great online but mediocre campaign, brings nothing fresh to the genre)
Gears of War 1 & 2 (Really intense games, online was gimped a bit)
Left 4 Dead (Pretty fun, only if you have online though. Other than that there isn't much replay value)
Mass Effect (Solid Game)
Fable 2 (Found a lot of glitches and nothing changed from the first one to much)
Crackdown (neat game, nothing special though)
Forza2 (Was cool for awhile but it's just not my thing)

Metal Gear Solid 4 (one of my fav franchises of all time, the cutscenes blew me away, epic story, gameplay was phenomenal)
Killzone 2 (Awesome game, story was meh at best, unmatched graphics seen on any console. Online is addictive as hell and extremely well done.)
Little Big Planet (You wanted something fresh, here it is. Great game to play with friends online, endless hours of fun and always new levels to be played.)
Valkyria Chronicles (don't like jrpg's, just like I didn't list SO4 which alot of people liked on 360)
Uncharted (Fantastic game, totally blew Lara Croft out of the water. Graphics were best I've seen, story was intriguing, characters were very well done, and the gun fights and melee were extremely fun)
Ratchet and Clank (It's like playing a pixar movie, cept with guns. Just one of the funnest platformers I've played in a good while.)

See what I did there. Opinions are what counts.

[Aquanox]

Why is the guy including Valkyre Profile and ignore the Mistwalker/NAMCO titles exclusive to the Xbox 360?

Why is he including Uncharted and ignoring titles from developer RARE, or Lost Planet which falls in a similar category?

Sure the PS3 has a solid first party line-up, but so does the Xbox 360. Also, this year is looking better in terms of variety. Alan Wake is a survival horror game, Splinter Cell is an stealth game and HALO ODST looks like it will be a tactital shooter instead of a FPS and I still see likely to have Forza 3 unveiled at this E3, an excellent racing game.

RARE is likely to release either a fighting game (Killer Instinct) or a FPS, and lets not forget Halo Wars, which is an RTS, something the PS3 library is currently thing of.

So, so far we have as exclusives:

RPGs, both Western and Japanese. (Mass Effect, Fable, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Start Ocean)
RTS (C&C Red Alert - timed - , Halo Wars)
Racing - Forza Motorsport, PGR
Fighting - Probably Killer Instinct 3
Shooters: Halo, Gears of War, Lost Planet
Karaoke: Lips
Kids/Others: Banjo Kazooie, Viva Piñata.
Stealth: Splinter Cell V
Survival: Alan Wake

I believe the Xbox 360 library has a lot of variety most of which are high profile titles. The problem is mainly that the highest selling games - hence the best known - tend to be shooters, but it doesn't mean that there are not other excellent titles in different genres.

[JokesOnYou]

@ Casey, Yes you're right multiplats and games NOT on PC are indeed a big part of micro's success...thats what I've been saying, all you have been trying to do with suggesting that I NOT talk about them in a exclusive discussion is try to downplay their importance and my whole point from the start was they are a big consideration towards 360 success, WHETHER THEY ARE PC/360 GAME OR NOT they have been performing the same or in many cases better in terms of doing exactly what the ps3 exclusives are designed to do= THEY SELL THE PLATFORM, so its highly revelant to this conversation. Also again quit with the sales tantrum's, why does it bother you so much that these games that 360 owners claim to be really good, also sell very well? I don't see why referencing the sales #'s is "playing sales" NOW, especially when I look at older posts of better ps #'s and it seems to be cause for celebration and wild claims of 360's fall, magicaly then sales seem to mean everything. Of course sales aren't the "whole picture" but you cannot simply pick 'n choose when they matter and when they dont...AND most of all try to silence me because NOW you would rather not talk about them.

@Flamebaitgod, I would prefer that YOU and others like you who can NOT stomach a difference of opinion to ignore me, that way I won't ever need to listen to your childish responses to my comments again, oh no! what will I do without you? oh wait I forgot you're ignoring me, great.

@Lifendz, yes I agree it is subjective, many gamers I know still think Gears looks the best, I disagree with all the time, KZ2 looks better definitely but I do say its close imo. I disagree that this alone makes them or me fanboys.

@Jaces while I don't agree totally with how you see those games. I can completely understand thats the experience you may have taken away from them, mine is different but why am I wrong and you're right...whether you believe me or NOT I can tell you with certainty that Halo3's campaign was much more enjoyable experience for me than KZ2's, the weapons, vehicles, enemies, story all much better (imo) and thats even before we discuss the gameplay and how many times I ran through the campaign with friends= Its not even close for me BUT I respect that you're just not feelin' Halo too much, so be it.

@Aquanox, in the words of the wise Lifendz:
"you're just not going to win this argument because so many are fanboys." -lol, you are so right Lifendz

JOY

vvvvJaces thats cool, and I also think you would be amazed to know that I actually try to convince friends who don't own a ps3 to get one, despite how some of you guys try to label me, I dont hate the ps3, I do however like to counter alot of the BS I think is unfairly thrown on the 360, so sure I might not swear to them the ps3 is "teh best ever" but I always recommend they get one.

[Jaces]

I never intended to be right or wrong about anything. Just giving you my opinions on games just as you did.

Don't know why people take advice from others about some games that they didn't "feel" and not give it a chance at the very least. For instance Halo, I had a friend who never tried it out mainly due to his Sony loyalism, short end of the stick was that after a couple days of badgering him he ended up playing it, damn near starved himself.

Amazing eh? haha.

It's all a matter of taste and the experience taken out of it.

[pain777pas]

This is going to become even more apparent this year though I will go out on a limb and state that KZ2 will not be the GOTY this year it will be either Bioshock 2 or Heavy Rain if it ships.

[aldesko]

The article is clearly looking at the BEST exclusives on both consoles, not ALL the exclusives. This is why it doesn't include the RARE games (which are decent, but not for everyone). You've clearly never played Valkyria Chronicles (not Valkyre Profile) since it's nothing like ToV, any Mistwalker game, or any other PS3/360 game for that matter.

[phosphor112]

HUR DUR NUR FNUR

Stop arguing about the games and play them. Right now, I'm playing my 2600 (pitfall) and I'm f*ckin enjoying it...well..its p*ssin me off now. That damn monkey always kills me!!

[KingKionic]

well...we wont know for sure in till e3.But as it stands its by opinion.

[StayHigh]

What will you think Microsoft will announce this E3?? Microsoft better have something up their sleeves or they shouldn't attended this year E3 at all..

[I_am_rushin]

The point is that if they do announce something at E3 what are the chances that it will be released this year?

[KingKionic]

I know for sure ms will show at least something xbox 360 owners will be happy for.

[IcarusOne]

Honestly, it doesn't really matter what MS does at E3 because they're still competing with Sony - even without exclusives. Still have yet to see an NPD that doesn't list MS ahead. And let's not forget the 10 million console lead the 360 already has over PS3.

As for the article, here's a gem from the wordsmith: "Where I think the Playstation 3 really separates itself, however, is with its exclusive games that no one ever talks about."

Maybe they never talk about them because they're not very good.

[SeanScythe]

Will Insomniac Reveal Resistance 3?

[LarVanian]

Ah yeah..........next year definitely.
They are too busy with ACIT this year

[remanutd55]

i agree with myspaceisevil i want them to take their time after A Crack in Time i want them to work in a new ip , i hope the platforming/rpg rumor is true , it would be nice to see what insomniac can do in another genre lol , and they MUST figure it out how to bring Hale back as a main character in R3 , i dont wanna play as capelli or any other lol

[xdye017]

This is not a fact its an opinion

[DelbertGrady]

This isn't the place for reason and logic thinking.

[ravinash]

360 Exclusives:
1. Alan Wake
2. Halo Chronicles
3. Cry On
4. Mass Effect 2 - Yes
5. APB
6. Splinter Cell Conviction
7. Star Ocean IV
8. Forza 3

PS3 exclusives
1. Heavy Rain - Yes
2. L.A.Noire (maybe 2009) - Yes
3. inFamous
4. Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
5. Afrika
6. God of War 3 (maybe 2009) - Yes
7. Prototype
8. M.A.G - Yes
9. Uncharted Among Theives - yes
10. Final Fantasy Versus XIII - Yes
11. White Knight Chronicles - Yes
12. Yakuza 3 - Yes

just a quick list from a google search.
Yes, it is a matter of opinion.

[-EvoAnubis-]

You might want to start fact checking your google searches. I'll point out the most glaring error, and you can sort the rest out.

Prototype, which you have listed as a PS3 exclusive, is multi-plat, and has been multi-plat since the games inception.

[Ausbo]

it is opinion. I like rpgs and shooters so i prefer the 360 but other people think the ps3 has the the better. I respect the ps3 and i believe it has a better upcoming lineup than the 360 but i don't respect fanboys like JoY and especially Casey Rybackps3d**krider.

[ravinash]

I did not know that, it wasn't on my shopping list, so I wasn't following it to closely.
I would have done more fact checking...but I think my boss would rather I got on with my work. :-)

[ottoenie]

i remember the 360 fanboys talking (at the launch of ps3):ps3 has no games, it sucks!
wrong!!!now the ps3 also has better exclusives, so why buy a 360?
honestly...

[Mindboggle]

Because its cheap. Thats the only reason its selling...

[ottoenie]

that's right, it's for the people who can't afford a high end console, it's as simple as that, if you pay more, you get more.
i know i am a fanboy, but i have reasons to be one: i want the best console, and not one that breaks in 2 weeks, and where you have to say after half an hour of gaming: aah i have to stop gaming, or else the console gets too hot, and it will probably break!
i don't want a console that scratches discs!
i don't want a console that sounds like a friggin vacuum cleaner!
i want a reliable console with good exclusives!
reasons enough!
btw: i, and many other ps3 users, can name alot of reasons why the ps3 is the console to choose over the 360.

[ultimolu]

B-B-B-But it's just a bluray playa!

And boom! There goes the dynamite.

Curse you Sony. You want me to rob a bank now?!

[Einhander]

Why buy a 360? Really? You can play all of the great 360/ps3 multiplat titles for HALF the price, most multiplats look equal to or better than its ps3 counterpart, it has a much larger library of games than the ps3 since it released a year earlier, more highly rated games than any other console, etc...

I only own a ps3 and am more than satisfied with it, heck i dont even want to buy a 360 atm, but theres no way im about to say the ps3 has better games than 360, exclusive or not.

[Brock Danger]

You speak the truth, nice avatar btw

[raztad]

Good read. Short and straight to the point. PS3 exclusives are more and more variated, and the fact that some exclusive xbox360 games has a better port on the PC doesnt help it.

@Kionic

You shouldnt hope too much from E3. MS needs a lot of games to change the current trend. Keep expectations low is the right thing to do.

[Socomer 1979]

only hardcore gamers own and play with the ps3.
poor people who dont have a ps3 shouldnt be allowed to post on this site.

remember when NEO from the matrix asked for more programs to download?
Yeah, he didnt say he wanted to play the same old crap like the xbox360. he wanted to be the best thus finnaly beating Morpheaus.
NEO was a PS3 gamer.

[talltony]

being a hardcore gamer is great! PS3 ftw. I have been saying everything in this article for months. and oh yea F MART! and his stupid opinions that he thinks are facts!

[NewZealander]

judging by your rant i think you should swap the word "hard core" for something more fitting like say...."try hard"

sorry but the typical ps3 fanboy on this site seems to be a bit cult like, ya know crazy nazi kill you if you dont own one because you must be poor and so on....

anyway the point i was going to make is if you want to look at total exclusives and not just the ones that are targated at the hard core, or the ones that people act like if they dont get AAA status they dont exist, then 360 has more then enough.

its the franchises that MS owns that are the real draw card, i mean theres always going to be more perfect dark, banjo, viva pinata, kameo, maybe some KI, blue dragon the point is MS have a truck load of potential exclusives.

so from day dot till now MS has a huge lead in exclusive games, and there will be many more to come even tho the "hard core" ps3 fanboy is deluded enough to think otherwise.

[AngryTypingGuy]

Exactly right NewZealander. Everyone knows that the 360 is the official choice of the hardcore gamer. The 360 sells more games, period. And it appears that many of these retards don't know the difference between fact and opinion. Many people happen to like the 360 exclusives better. The closest thing the PS3 has to being a pop culture juggernaut while being a "hardcore" game at the same time is Killzone 2, but even they have to admit that it didn't have as big of an impact as Halo and Gears of War.

[rucky]

360 has exclusives?

[OmarJA]

Not anymore, it biggest 3rd party exclusives are coming to the PS3, expect a new announcement soon of Splinter Cell Conviction going multiplatform & even the old 360's exclusives are coming to the PS3 with exclusives content & features :D

The 360 is a joke of a console.

[360isthebestps3sucks]

gears 2 fable 2 halo3 say HI!

and in crapstation3 have the flopzone 2 system seller! WO WAIT.........

[FFXI101]

A bubble to you.

[lloyd_wonder]

All this website does it talk about Sony

[xabmol]

Maybe if the 360 had something to talk about, like GAMES, that would be different.

[Ausbo]

finally, thank you lloyd. I thought i was the only person who finds myself swamped among fanboys

[pixelsword]

this is just flamebait.

[StayHigh]

what exclusive for the 360 thats coming out this year that is worthy??

You should know by now that Microsoft doesn't show their hand early, they'll do what they did last year and wait for E3: You know, that show where they announced that Final Fantasy XIII was coming to the 360? That floored everyone because they didn't tell everyone for months on end like Sony does (or, once did); and if something like that happens again, it will have the same effect again.

Like I tell everyone that Hitler was as powerful as the people who chose to believe in him, the same thing applies to these flame-bait articles.

See, you let these dumb-as-rocks websites get you all pumped with hype, then when it doesn't happen these same websites piss you off because the lies they told didn't come true. Afterwards, these sites spend the rest of the year (read:until x-mas shopping season is over) to remind you on how the PS3 "dissappointed" everyone.

Just watch:
- these same websites that are praising the PS3 now will down the PS3 later

- these websites that are not saying anything about the 360 will blow their load for weeks after E3 about how the 360 whipped the PS3 at E3 and that the PS3 has no games. Then the articles come out about how the PS3 is finished, and that a price cut will happen in the fall. Then a few months later because Xmas is around the corner so Sony *must* lower the price of the PS3; even if a price drop happens before this xmas.

It happened last year, and it's happening again this year.

So I guess we didn't learn from the past, since it's repeating.

[DelbertGrady]

They measured the exclusives with their best-o-meter and the PS3 came out as winner.

[pixelsword]

You never cease to crack me up.

[Socomer 1979]

the dream of MGS4 some time soon.

Keep dreaming.

or a working multiplayer game without lag and bug free.

xbox360 is a joke man. they aint got sh!t. did you just hear that?
Millions of gold members just cancelled thier account.

[I_am_rushin]

mmmm... bubbles taste goo-oood.

p.s. Nice avatar I can't wait for inFamous.

[Zeus Lee]

Wait until E3,Sony still have some games to announce.

[StayHigh]

They have endless games..
Uncharted 2
Ratchet and Clank Crank at Time
Heavy Rain
God of War 3
Fat Princess
Infamous
The Agency
Mag
Gran Turismo 5
New Team ICO game
Twisted Metal
White Knight(release date for NA)
Yukuza 3(release date for NA)
Demon Soul(release date for NA)

There just so many great exclusive games for the PS3 and i know for sure they will be announcing new ones this E3..

[lucifon]

Sigh another bias pointless article. Not news, but as stated above, an opinion.

If you want to get all technical then the 360 has the most critically acclaimed lineup of exclusives. Who cares, both consoles have good games. I own both, and enjoy playing on either system. I just want to play games not battle e-peens.

[StayHigh]

telling the truth is bias?? tell me how many exclusive games that the 360 will be having that will blow all the Ps3 games away?

[lucifon]

The article isn't discussing future exclusives, only the current ones. All I said was in terms of ratings the 360 has more exclusives with higher ratings. Saying that either or has "better" exclusives is just an opinion though - as was the article. It didn't discuss critical acclaim or sales but simply the author felt they had better exclusives.

Some people prefer the 360's lineup of exclusives because thats the kind of games they play, some prefer the PS3's. Its all personal preference. I own a PC, PS3, 360, PSP and DS. I dont feel someones opinion on exclusives needs a news article about it. Just play games and have fun! Who cares about the platform.

[Socomer 1979]

when all these journalist for videogames would actually sit down and play thier favorite games for pure enjoyment and that they would realize that the only games they have been enjoying were PS3 exclusives.
Now they are begging for more like the hardcore ps3 gamers have.
you cant even play ps3 games sitting down. You have to stand up and play PS3 because the games are so challenging.

MOOKS SAID:

- Gears of War - Most successful new ip this gen
- Gears of War 2 - Not as good as the first, but still brilliant
- Halo 3 - Halo...nuff said
- Left 4 Dead - One of the best multiplayer experiences
- Mass effect - Brilliant RPG, something the ps3 lacks
- Forza 2 - Good game. Alot of features for a racer
- Fable 2 - Huge RPG and very original

gears of war 1 was a great game that got boring very quickly.
Gears of war 2 ruined the series in every aspect except the addition of a terrorist hunt.
Halo 3? C'mon you still play that?
Mass effect okay story with bad gameplay.
Forza 2 was a nice try to copy gran turismo
Fable 2 is pretty ghay. Im sorry, people like it and all but they all have been there and done that type of mini arcade game.
Left 4 dead is nothing special at all. A Zombie mod, Zzzzzzz.

[SIdepocket]

It's a pity all of the PS3's exclusives still amount to average sales and acclaim. I might just be too late for the PS3.

[Phantom_T]

True gamers don't care about sales,they care about games.
Sony is beginning to deliver in droves.

[Chuk_Chuk]

i agree 100%. bubbles

[OmarJA]

Sony got the best exclusives this year & that's a fact you can't argue with it, plus there is PS's Gamer Day & E3 except more exclusives announcement to come... :D

M& already lost GDC 09 & their Conference today was a joke... :D

B-b-b-b-but teh salez, w-w-w-w-wait till E3... :D

[OmarJA]

Well you can't argue with facts...

[-MoOkS-]

Ps3 exclusives

- Killzone 2 - Average story mode, boring multiplayer. Overall it doesnt excel at anything or do anything new.
- MGS4 - the only ps3 game worth mentioning
- Littlebigplanet - Original, gets old really fast
- Valyria chronicles - Havent played it....looks meh though
- Uncharted - It's average, not great. No replay value at all. I could barely play 15mins at a time when I was getting my platinum

I won't even mention the rest of the average, generic games like ratchet and clank,haze, heavenly sword etc.

Xbox 360 exclusives

- Gears of War - Most successful new ip this gen
- Gears of War 2 - Not as good as the first, but still brilliant
- Halo 3 - Halo...nuff said
- Left 4 Dead - One of the best multiplayer experiences
- Mass effect - Brilliant RPG, something the ps3 lacks
- Forza 2 - Good game. Alot of features for a racer
- Fable 2 - Huge RPG and very original

So, looks like ps3 is the loser to me.
If I have missed any games for the ps3 just let me know....don't give me crap like heavenly sword, lair, haze, ratchet and clank. I want great games that recieved great reviews.

[Omega4]

EXACTLY

*sigh* im just glad someone said it

Wouldnt surprise me if someone from this site wrote this article

[raztad]

@Moo

You are a such a fanboy.

The article doesnt say that xbox360 doesnt has good exclusives. What says is they are mostly SHOOTERS while PS3 has more variety.

Clearly is up to your personal taste whether you like them or not. But to say that R&C is average Wow man, says a lot of you as a "gamer". Its crazy how loyal some of you are to a piece of plastic. I bet you, if Gears were a PS3 exclusive you would be calling it "average"

Be a gamer.

[-MoOkS-]

I feel sorry for you, if you think ratchet and clank is good.

The first 2 on the ps2 were good, every one after that has just been a rehash that does nothing new, gameplay wise, and has a few extra weapons.

So much for you being a gamer, you think mediocre games are good -_-' sigh.

[Nineball2112]

I'm liking your user bio there MoOks...

"I enjoy playing multiplayer online games. And I only deal in factual evidence/ information and hold no bias towards any of the 3 consoles"

Mwahahahaha....

Hey, your opinion is your opinion, but I don't think your postings here in N4G would back up that statement.

On topic: As of right now, for this year... it's undisputable that Sony has the best exclusives this year. We'll see what happens at E3. I have no doubt MS will have some tricks up their sleeves. :-)

[Frnicatr]

Took the words outta my mouth!

The exclusives listed for PS3 on the artcile, apart from MGS4, are lame and boring. Killzone and Uncharted are average the only thing people can talk about is the graphics..

[-MoOkS-]

Get owned you silly little droid

Notice how you didnt list any ps3 games LOL

[UnwanteDreamz]

MoOks you ignorant retard. You must not understand the english language. A PC is not just a gaming console so your above comment is so stupid it is not even funny. The games you mention are not exclusive to 360 so you can't use them period. We are talking about the 360's lack of exclusives. Idiot

Edit: I knew you were a little kid only children who spend too much time on XBL say silly stuff like "get owned" run along and play son, let the adults talk.

[TheBand1t]

Valkyria Chronicles is a damn good RPG. :/ So because you haven't played it, it's meh to you? Play it first before forming an opinion.

What if I felt none of the Xbox 360 games I've played to date give me anywhere near the enjoyment of Killzone 2, Resistance, R&C, Uncharted, MGS4, LBP, and VC?

What if I'm of the opinion Gears had lackluster MP, Halo wasn't as fun as Resistance, L4D didn't play much better than a zombie mod on CS:S, and Fable 2 wasn't even more fun than Dark Cloud 2 on the PS2?

Play your games, I'll play mine. This article is silly and your comments only serve to stoke the flamebait.

[-MoOkS-]

Once again ignoring the fact that 360 has nore critically acclaimed exclusives. Why don't you list ps3 exclusives,that scored great reviews throught the industry

Change the topic once the facts/numbers come out, typical droid.

[CaseyRyback_CPO]

Its NOT exclusive if its on another device.. example:

ps3/pc The Agency is NOT a console exclusive. Its a multiple platform title.

you guys are so sad when you try to pad your list with bs monikers. Its sad. The 360 was good when those games came out.. gears2 is a joke, as is fable's broken gameplay. Valkyrie Chronicles is not only higher rated that fable, but its a better game in many opinons mainly the ones used for metacritic.

You say you want "great" reviews, yet you list fable? LBP is the highest rated console exclusive known to man. Remember that?the 360 hasn't even had any "AAA" titles this year. Every single new title has flopped on its face review wise. Enjoy playing halo and gears over and over cuz its all you have to play this gen.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots 94
LittleBigPlanet 95
MLB 09: The Show 90
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction 89 - same as fable, must be stellar!
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (2007) 88 - 1 pt less than fable, must be almost as good!
Killzone 2 92
Valkyria Chronicles 2008 87

You're just a sad bot in a long line of sad bots that dont understand what "exclusive" means.

If you want to play that card, i guess we can toss in bioshock and psn titles too right? lol.. wake me up when you can't play 360 exclusives on a pc.. then maybe someone else in the media would point out the 360's exclusives.

The 360 used to have great games, currently? not so much. You're going to have to keep reverting to the good old days, because thats the only time the 360 had any good scoring titles.

edit:

mooks, you cant pretend to "meh" games when you set standards for this debate. If Score is all thats important, than the ps3 has the titles to show for it. You cant just try to do the typical bot argument and hide from the fact that its a good critically acclaimed title.

it just makes you look dumb when someone lists games and you go "buh buh i dont wanna play them!"

you are getting owned at every corner, so you keep jumping around.

IF its scores, the ps3 has the titles. If its your own bot opinion, clearly nothing ever said is going to change that. but the scores are luckily on metacritic, you know, your safety pillow you use to justify your purchase ;)

[-MoOkS-]

Don't get upset because 360 has more critically acclaimed exclusives.

I've seen videos of Valkyria and it does look meh...I havent played it though

And if you were to say all those games on ps3 were more fun than 360, you would be going against the facts and general opinions of the whole gaming community.

---EDIT---

OmarJA

How am I being owned? flopstation droids are dodging me because they CANT list any ps3 exclusives that can stand up against the 360's.. that I listed.

[OmarJA]

How sad... :(

Poor little Pee Pee getting owned sideways... :(

B-b-b-b-but teh salez, w-w-w-w-wait till E3... :D

[UnwanteDreamz]

Oh so now it's critically acclaimed exclusives? What a joke man, you are serious and that is what I find really sad. Please stop calling me your childish little pet names. Droid and fanboy really do you talk like that in real life?

BTW What MoOks approved website should I go to for reviews?

[TheBand1t]

You're getting a bit defensive, eh?

So I can't have an opinion that, I, a gamer, can enjoy a game even if alot of other gamers dislike that game?

Upset I'm not. I'm aggravated that you seem to think I'm some asshurt fanboy who cares about review scores. Last I check, you can't play review scores with a gamepad.

It's entirely a subjective viewpoint on my end, good sir. If you like Xbox games, you like Xbox games. If I like PS3 games, I like PS3 games. There isn't much that's gonna change that.

[CaseyRyback_CPO]

You failed at step 1.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots 94
LittleBigPlanet 95
MLB 09: The Show 90
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction 89 - same as fable, must be stellar!
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (2007) 88 - 1 pt less than fable, must be almost as good!
Killzone 2 92
Valkyria Chronicles 2008 87

you can remove mlb if you want, but then you'd have to remove all your multiplatform titles from the list.

Your call but either way, the ps3 owns when it comes to exclusives. :)

[heyheyhey]

well accoding to your oh-so-precious reviews, the "generic" Rathcet & Clank is an 89

seeing as you think reviews are the final word on everything... then you must think it's an awesome AAA game?

nope.. because your pp and your a complete retard

[deadreckoning666]

Will someone PLEASE explain to these 360 fanboys that Mass Effect 2 is a TIMED EXCLUSIVE!!!!!! I really think this is plain ignorance. How the hell do you look at a release date calendar and see that 360 has the better games for this year???

WAKE THE HELL UP....What game has received the most traffic on N4G this year...KIllZONE 2.

[cryymoar]

Casey just listed SO many games to come back with! The PS3 is kicking the xb360's ass in AAA exclusives!! THAT IS A FACT!
That's why Aaron Greenturd and the whole xbox division tries to spin multiplatform games as if they are exclusives.

Sessler: "Sony has Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, inFamous, and God Of War coming up, what do you guys have?"
Greenberg: "durrr we have Street Fighter 4"

his interview was as big of a flop as most xb360 games that are supposed to do good.

Sony has first party devs that don't have to worry about limitations, Microsoft has third part devs that have to live and work around limitations.

You are just so ignorant. You probably also think that the fundamentals of the American economy are strong.

[tudors]

at least we have RPG's.

[KingKionic]

but i thought sales doesn't mean everything? :) But seriously if you like the game you like the game.

[xabmol]

I totally agree with you, because games like ICO, Okami, and Beyond Good & Evil totally suck.

P.S.
Do I even need the "/sarcasm" after this?

[Mcrmarcher]

So do those numbers make games more enjoyable for you?

[PirateThom]

I don't play sales figures, I play games.

Get a clue.

[xabmol]

Yes, because we all know sheep enjoy following the herd.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

[DelbertGrady]

Don't you have to buy the game in order to play it? I know I do. Lol.

[-EvoAnubis-]

So, since sales are apparently what makes a game great and not the actual game, you are admitting that the Wii's top games are better than the 360's top games?

See, you have no way out here. If you say yes, then you're an idiot. If you say no, then you're a hypocrite.

Moral of the story? Don't bring up sales when you're talking about how good games are.

[na2ru1]

is SALES. Most mentioned title(more than Gears) by the 360 fanboys

[xabmol]

But in my opinion, this tittle is 100% CORRECT.

And looking at the '09 line up, my opinion isn't going to change any time soon.

[xionpunk]

*yawn

[Ninjamonkey]

I completely agree. Ever since MGS4 brilliant ps3 games have come in shovel loads. Its been brilliant.

And not only are there loads of great games, theres real diversity in there, and many games have great features which really makes them stand out.

Little big planet with a huge emphasis on user generated content

Resistance 2 with 60 players online and great co-op online

SOCOM, the most tactical online shooter for consoles

Killzone 2, best graphics

Its all there. Its brilliant.

[Salta_nelas]

It all comes down to preference, and imo PS3 excells having better technical and graphical games showing an overall quality absent on the 360 side.

MGS4, Wipeout HD, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, LBP, KZ2, Warhawk, Heavy Rain, Valkria, GT5P, GOWIII, Uncharted, MAG, Ratchet, Infamous.
And only available on the Playstation, as oposed to most 360 "exclusives".

Ture that 360 games sell more, but quantity does not represent quality.

[Chuk_Chuk]

why hasn't mooks been banned from the gamer zone yet? I would say he talks out of his ass but i'm sure better stuff comes out of their than his blind fanboy comments

[felidae]

well, not for me

[xabmol]

Seriously, Dude go take some Prozac.

Maybe it will cheer you up.

Tsk, tsk, tsk:\ Sony, sony, sony. I really cant understand how a company that made all those awsome ''you are not E'' or ''i lived'' commercials can sink this low. Financing a joke site, that is banned on most real gaming sites, as the only advertising form for your 3rd place product is just a horribly stupid idea no matter how desperate you are or how little money you have left.

You see sony, normal poeple who want to get informed about gaming visit sites like IGN or Gamespot or eurogamer where the 360 library is not only as good as but is still 3X better than the clusterf*ck ps3 library. Sites like this one that are run by immature douchebags who still make your mom jokes and cry everytime Square Enix gives you the cold shoulder just dont work.

[-MoOkS-]

Agreed.

They act like they have soo many good games, but can't show me a list.

[Nelson M]

Replyin to Himself

Thy Silly Little BoT

[OmarJA]

Well their bots, programmed to do this & their stupid... :D

[Man_of_the_year]

According to metacritic - there are more 80+ rated games for the 360 and more 90+ games for the 360...so it would seem that the entire gaming industry disagrees with the articles opinion.

Gamerankings also indicate this as well.

I guess the Droids still have their programmed minds set where they accept opinion as facts and facts as biased anti Sony conspiracy opinions...

@ NegativeCreep427 - You're one to talk about "every time any real reasoning gets in the way of your Bullsh*t fanboy delusions." - where in the entire article is there ANY real reasoning?

There are no numbers, no scale of reference to compare...where is the reasoning? Oh i see, its because its his OPINION and you take it as fact....

[NegativeCreep427]

Maybe because both of those Panty-Stain's shared a room last night.

Don't worry Mooks, you don't have to feign agreement with Crissy all the time. He/She/it won't break up with you. Just take Crissy down to Chuck E. Cheeses every time any real reasoning gets in the way of your Bullsh*t fanboy delusions.

..."but can't show me a list."

Nobody needs to show you a damn list. You know whats going on with the Playstation 3 more than some Playstation 3 owners do. Its the only reason you even bother to get up in the morning and Elephant man-your way to the computer desk.

[BYE]

That says nothing. What you saw on Metacritic could be 5 90+ games vs 4 95+ games, in your math the first case would be better.

[RedVsBlue]

Just because Sony has the most exclusives fan boys have to remember that not all of these will become smash hits & most have not. Having the most of anything means nothing when the majority of that said something are not successful

[heyheyhey]

only one game that matters for bots..

NPD

[bigjclassic]

sony has better exclusives. But they both get punished by nintendo.
OoT and SMG says hello.

[labwarrior]

Only in this fanboy dreams So far, PS3 games are short lived indifferent games

And has nothing in RPG's too, in fact the variety is 100x bigger on 360

[Mr Face Creamer]

I've seen loads of fanboy articles but this one made me laugh hard... I mean come on, why didn't you compare Killzone 2 to the XBL Halo: Combat Evolved.

This line-up is bound to fail, Killzone 2 was dull, Uncharted 2 will be the next tomb raider and we already got Prototype so we don't need anymore senseless smashing games.

Sale estimates:

Uncharted 2: 1.2M
Infamous: 300K
Ratchet and Clank: 1M

Sales might not matter to you, but don't be surprised if you don't see a Killzone 3 in the next 5 years.

[raztad]

So are you expecting U2 to sell 1.2? BIG LOL!!

Uncharted is an established franchise, it will surpass easily 2million copies, but more important it will be an AWESOME game.

Infamous is getting amazing previews all across the board, give a look at this ht tp:// www. dpadmagazine.com/2009/04/21/in famous-hands-on/. Its not a very hyped game, but like is happening with VC, word of mouth will help to improve sales on the long run.

I'm sure Insomniac will be very happy if R&C sells 1 million.

BTW, what the hell with sales figures instead to discuss game quality?

[d0nT wOrrY]

haha
bots are joke now
have no games to play is disaster

[ApocalypseShadow]

BUT.......he's right when it comes to variety "played."

360's top selling games,top played games,are all shooters.360 fans can't deny it.

just look at the top ten games played on live and you will see left for dead,halo3,gears,gears2,call of duty 4,mass effect,etc.

360 gamers don't buy the other type of games in bulk or play them enough to hit any top ten.

but looking at ps3,it's killzone,LBP,resistance,GT5,mo torstorm,MGS4,and single player games like uncharted,ratchet,etc.

360 has variety,but no one plays them.and sales show that shooters are loved more.ps3 has variety,and they are all played.which is what you see in sales.gamers on ps3 are buying games across the board from personal preference.

go sony!

apocalypse................

[N4Garbage]

Fail.

Fable2 is an RPG and has sold more than Ps3's top selling exclusive in the time frame.

Halo Wars is an RTS and from the previous NPD looks like it outsold Ps3's top shooter....Hmmm?

and multiplatforms that vary in genre that sell well sometimes double or more than its Ps3 counterpart.

Fallout3
Skate2
Madden

So you say 360 gamers don't buy other games?

That's funny because I could swear Ps3 owners hardly even buy there own games....even these "best exclusives" you toot so proudly lol.

[no-spin]

Agree with u except for the last sentence.

"That's funny because I could swear Ps3 owners hardly even buy there own games....even these "best exclusives" you toot so proudly lol."

Having Multiple games in different genres selling over a million is proof that PS3 owners do buy the sweet exclusives. Im one of them and i could care less if they sold 500,000, those games are second to none.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Well games like Kameo, Viva Pinata, PGR, Forza 2, Halo Wars, etc... have all sold extremely well so your statement is wrong.

[N4Garbage]

Lol let the Sony boys still use there WE HAVE TEH BEST EXCLUSiVEZZZ line.

It's all they have left.

Goodbye.

[Phantom_T]

What do xbots have this year?

[labwarrior]

Mostly huge RPGs and again 100x more variety than PS3 titles

http://www.gamespot.com/pag...

Linked above

[raztad]

Discussing about exclusives here. Leave out multiplats please!

[donnie-2105]

what i think the ps3 lacks is a decent exclusive arcade racing title like project gotham or grid.as has been said which has the best exclusives is debatable technically clearly the ps3 in other areas like online the 360.i own both consoles but owned the 360 over a year before i purchased my ps3 and thought all this exclusive superiority was crap,esp after i played the excretable haze.then uncharted joined my library and i was blown away and continue to be.just wish sony would release more pick up and play games unlike imo the overated but graphically impressive mgs4 and gt5p.

[donnie-2105]

did forget the brilliant motorstorm but real life cars nfs type stuff.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

What a dumb article. Sorry, you couldn't even list all of the 360 exclusives. Where is Dead Rising? Project Gotham? Forza?

What is "best" is in the eyes and ears of the beholder. Sorry I don't agree with the best exclusives are on the PS3. They are great exclusives but I've had great exclusives and more of them on my Xbox 360.

I've seen way too much garbage from this examiner.com and why do all the authors look like they are under 15 years old?

[deadreckoning666]

dead rising 2 IS COMING TO PS3. Gran Turismo 5 ill most likely go to the 360.

While it may hold water for a person such as myself and most PS3 favorable Gamers, it doesnt reflect the gaming community as a collective.

As it stands, there are more 360 supporters than PS3 supporters which is why this article is such a hard pill for me to swallow. I like dealing with facts vs. opinion.

Thats not to say that the author is lying because I feel the same way he does. Thing is, neither myself or him represent the entire gaming population(See; GEC Above).

Even still, I own all current console and its still PS3 FTWWW(Whole Wide World)!!!

It's a well-known fact that the PS3 has the best exclusives around. What the Xbots have to say about that?

Halo 3: A game for kiddies who still believe Power Rangers do exist
Gears of War: A game for kiddies who believe "plastic shiny" people are real and thinks that "glitches" are truly part of the online MP
Fable 2: A game for kiddies who like to walk around aimlessly talking to people:
Forza 2: A game for kiddies who believe that the grossly exaggerate physics of the game are "real physics"
Alan Wake: A game for kiddies that may not even the see the light of the day, except in CGI who the Xbot kiddies believe to be real.
Splinter Cell: A crappy game for kiddies who believe it's better than MGS4, when it's not. It was so crappy that the developers canned it in the first place!
Mass Effect: Same thing with Fable.

Looking at the games above, it's very obvious why the "cross-game chat" is such a valuable part of Xbox Live. Why? Which such crappy games, players are forced to like them, and in order for them to do so, they must chat with their buddies.

On the other hand, Sony exclusives were and have always been made for more mature, and intelligent gamers. The Xbox kiddies love their games to be made for the dumbest crackheads out there. It's no wonder that when you go to Xbox Live, players say the dumbest things outside a mental institution. Also, since Xbox exclusives were made for people with truly low IQ, it is no wonder that Xbox games get the most sales!

My fellow Sony gamers, aka the "real gamers", don't feel bad if Xbox sales tend to be higher. You see, not everyone was made to be mature, and more intelligent just like us. The Xbox kiddie user (around 10-14) that make 95% of the Xbox demographics, would grow up to be criminals, sorry crackheads, white supremacists, or bomb-making terrorists! So my fellow Sony gamers, I say you this: DO NOT lower your intelligence in order to buy the Xbox, for the world literally looks upon you as the next professionals and/or leaders!

I know it's hard for people to understand here but people are different and have different opinions. I like Green Lantern and Flash so I can easily write "DC has the best comic book characters." But I'm sure people prefer Spiderman or the Hulk.

Out of all the games on those 2 lists, I would take away Lilbigplanet, R&C, and Valkyria since I'm not interested in those type of games and add Resistance and Motorstorm. I would also add Forza 2 and PGR since those are the best racers around.

In my opinion the 360 has the best exclusives but that's just me.

[Freak of Nature]

Speaking of exclusives.....

Fasten you're seatbelts...

Do you recall Bizarre creations? The guys that brought us PGR4 on the X360 among many other nice games they have brought to the gaming World in years past?

Get ready for "BLUR"....Multi-plat is the word I am getting,not set in stone,but an exclusive for X360 from Bizarre seems to be yesterdays news...

Blur is a departure from the more straightforward approach of PGR, instead allowing you to use various weapons on your opponents. Mines, shields and even some sort of electric attack sound to be in at the moment.

It also seems that Bizarre has revamped its collision technology, allowing for cars to crumple and damaged to reflect the impacts of these attacks. The game will take place in, or at least be based on, major cities like San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo and more.

[Lord Vader]

Yeah ~ just look at their sales numbers...

LOL

[Cyrax_87]

I own all the PS3 titles listed in this article as well =D

edit: @ Lord Vader, lmao, you 360 fanboys crack me up. Now resorting to sales as the last desperate act to flame. What's even funnier is every PS3 game on that list except VC has sold well over a million at least anyways.

[Seraphemz]

I saw this analogy the other day and I liked it.

Go into a store that only sells snickers and snickers is going to sell through the roof...

Go into a store that has milky way, snickers and 3 musketeers and now the sales are all across the board.

In case some people dont get it.. the first store is 360.

Also...by 360 fan logic... Wii Fit is the best game EVER...

[cmrbe]

It will only get better for the PS3. The majority of true heavy hitters still havent arrived yet.

[aldesko]

I'm glad Crackdown was included on the 360's list.. and VC on the PS3's. Both those games are underrated IMO.

MGS4 - 3 hours gameplay 95 hours cut scenes
Uncharted - Looks pretty but short repetative boring and very easy
Rfom: Good game, bad graphics
R2: Not as good as the first one
LBP: You either love it or hate it
Killzone 2: Beautiful to look at, not bad game play but too overhyped
Valkyria Chronicles - Best game on ps3, loving it big time
Rachet and clank - Alot of fun

So far the ps3 has proved very disapointing

[Mr Products]

As owner of both consoles, I must admit that I am very worried for Sony. You could technically state that the PS3 does indeed have the best exclusives, however, are they really that great? Personally I don't think they have anything on the last generation and are not for me. This generation has been a tough one for Sony no doubt but I really believe that they have lost a lot more than they thought by so many of their key franchises (or franchises related to Sony) going to 360.

Since owning a psone and ps2 in the past, I bought my PS3 for Tekken, Devil May Cry, Pro Evo, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, GTA, God of War, GT5 and MGS. Now it is correct that all of those are on the PS3, but they are also (barring GoW and MGS, GT5) on the 360.

Now it is fact, deny it all you want, that multi-platform games look better on the 360. Yes the gap has closed, but the 360 still has the edge due to its better online play, they may have secured exclusive DLC and there is always no install times for games (some PS3 titles have to). So in relation to my original point, with all these big franchises on the 360, add on top of that their strong library of exclusives (gears of war, halo, fable and the like are not poor games by any means!) then all you are left with on the PS3 are its new exclusives such as resistance, lbp, uncharted. For a lot of people these games just don't cut it. Uncharted was fantastic don't get me wrong, but LBP? No, personally it was damn poor.

What about previous PS2 titles that have been released as a sequel on the PS3, killzone 2? This for me summed up Sony this generation. Graphically, top class though very linear (it is an FPS so). Story? Innovation? Epic fails on those departments. No advertising. Poor Sales. Stick in MGS4 and you can see what is possible on a blu-ray, the graphics, gameplay, story. Nothing has come close to this and this was an early title!!!! Believe me I am as big a Sony fanboy as any of you guys, but one thing I ain't is blind, and I can see PS3's failings as clear as day. But lets be fair, the power of the PS3 lets me discuss this with you guys through a 16 player chat room....yay. Titles like MAG, Ratchet & Clank, Heavy Rain, inFamous, GoWIII. If that is a killer line-up for 2009...it's going to be a long year, only God Of War will be of any interest to me. Sort it Sony, your ruining all your hard work.

[Crazay]

I can't say that I necessarily agree with this. The list posed is good for both systems but the level of quality is really subjective to users. I really don't think I'd put Ratchet and Clank in the upper echelon of AAA titles. Crackdown was a decent game but AAA? I'm not so sure.

[j0ltspidah88]

Wow, was this article written by Sony Executives, im all for some good competition but really, that was just over the top ridiculous.

[dogmeat eater]

get a life.

[nchizimbi]

I totally disagree with the article...it's just another excuse to start a flame battle on the web.

[HarukoHex]

if that was true, then they would have sold more then the 360 by now, as well, i wouldn't have sold my ps3 so what is this. A MATTER OF OPINION, not news, god this site has gotten pathetic, overrun with ps3 fans and there multi (5x) accounts.
-hex-

[maverick1191]
