PS3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii: Which Has the Best Exclusives?

Unigamesity writes: "Let's not forget about the console wars! There are sale charts, there are fanboys slamming other fanboys' data, there are all sorts of ways to 'decide' the winner of the console wars… One of them is, of course, checking the exclusive games and that's exactly what we're planning to do now. So, the battle is on: PS3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii – which console has the best exclusives?"

1 - Exclusives should not be compared. Because they're not on the same console.
One exclusive is orientated to a certain crowd while the other isn't.

Mario games are clearly for the Wii Audience.

Gears of War and other Big strong, coming in and Kicking your A$$ type of games are for the Xbox Audience.

Metal Gear Solid and other similar exclusives are for the thinkers, and people who've grown up with certain franchises. Also people who expect the unexpected. This is for the PlayStation Audience.

Even if you were to compare both it would be easy to see ps3 has the best upcoming exclusives. Though i believe the 360 will have it's fair share, i also believe the ps3 has it beat hands down. Just my opinion.

Yeah, I enjoy good games with lot of strategic gameplay and lots of cutscenes. MGS4 and VC for the win. I'm still waiting for White Knight Chronicles and FFVs.XIII.

1.3 - No shocker here.
As much as I loved the 360 games of last year, the PS3 had the best scoring games this year and regardless of scores, the games that came to the PS3 were my all time favorites. LBP beats out all of the titles released this year for me and no matter the system it is on, it is the game for me.

LOL it isn't really possible to say which one right now. It would be a lot easier if all systems where supported better. This is clearly opinion.

"In order to decide the winners, I went to Metacritic"

Thank you...

Which exclusives are better? It's heavily based on personal preferences. It's obvious that fanboys will like games from their console, some gamers will go above it and like the games that were truly appealing to them etc.
And yet again, metacritic. This isn't worthy, all the author have done was copying numbers and titles, and writing few own arguments.

That was poorly done..this has been done in several articles and it does not add up to that

Where's Left 4 Dead? The game has a 90 avg on Meta....ther's no excuse about being in pc because if it was that ..then he should have added PC games to the list..its obviously about console games and won't even add that game? pfff

Left4Dead is not an Xbox360 exclusive.

You can play that game on a Sony VAIO computer. Mwa haha.

The add PC gaming to the list to make it right...if its only about consoles ..then add left 4 dead

3.3 - Why?
We couldn't put L4D as a PC exclusive either.

An exclusive game is a game that is only on ONE gaming
platform, left 4 dead is available on two gaming platforms.

And before you put me down as a jealous fanboy, check my gamercard in my profile - i own and love the game on 360.

The author is referring to console exclusives. As he mentioned below that mobile phones weren't consoles. If he added pc, and mobile phones, he would have to add PSP and DS. There are so many gaming platforms out there. Plus, the title says WIIvsPS3vs360 exclusives. So they can ONLY be on those three.

Wow, I though the Title said: "Which has the better Exclusives"

Exclusive Definition: not divided or shared with others.

If a game is "Exclusive" It can ONLY be played on that Platform no?

What you are saying is "its Exclusive, but its also on PC" which is a contradiction to the word Exclusive.

My argument is that the game should not even be in the Exclusive list if it isnt an Exclusive at all.

I don't care which system gets picked as "teh winrar", these articles are pointless and only serve as hit generators and fanboy magnets.

Reported as unnecessary.

You might not care but the people who haven't bought a next-gen console yet (or ones who want to sell their console for a different one) may find this helpful in seeing that the PS3 has better exclusives.

Saying one console has better exclusives is subjective to the person who is judging them. Bob Dole agrees with your statement of the PS3 having better exclusives, but there's lots of people that would disagree with us. Everyone's best bet is to get both consoles and skip out on the Wii. :)

this is such a pointless article, its like asking if the which console caters for casual gamers between the wii and ps3. Obviously ps3 has better exclusives.

But the PS3 has more and better exclusives. But what do you expect? Sony has more in house devs than Nintendo and Microsoft combined.

10 - Don't worry about exclusives
Can't see the point. If i just bought exclusives on any of the consoles, i wouldn't have many games to play.The games i like are mostly out each year like Fifa,Madden ,COD and the likes, so i wouldn't buy a console for an exclusive game.Gta and RE5 and games like those are all great games, and i play them all on the 360 as at this moment in time it's still the best console for mutiformats, especially for the multiplayer side

11 - Better Exclusives...
Should not be based on metacritic, or any other review sites. It should be based on your own preferences. Thus IMO the PS3 had the best exclusives for 08 and from the looks of it 09 as well.

360 fans just cannot except the fact that the best games are on PS3. I have every single one of the games listed for the PS3 and still p;ay them all the time. Like I said, SONY keep bringing the games that TRUE gamers love and want to play, M$ will just copy you. Nintendo will continue to produce their fun old gaming feel games that people have loved for years.

19 - I hope this adds a little value to the Gamer Zone
As a gamer I'm compelled to play games I find enjoyable. To debate which console had the "Best exclusive" is all a matter of a persons opinion. This opinion you'll either agree or disagree with depending on your gaming tastes.

The only comparison I really can think of that could be factual is which had more exclusives which is not opinionated but factul numbers, but in the long run who cares about numbers as long as you get the games you personally want to play and the benefit of enjoyment from the system(s) you own.

20 - It's really moot....
Since Fable 2 and Gears of War 2 will most likely end up on PC as well.

It might take a year or so, but eventually PC owners will be able to enjoy those games as well, making them not exclusives. Sorry, but if you can get any game for two systems, it's not an exclusive.

very by the books look at which console is better. Kinda uninspired and proves little. I'm still laughing that the wii beat xbox for exclusives score. still this article proves little to nothing and i could care less.
