I'd have Mass Effect up there rather than Crackdown but the rest I agree with.

technically speaking, games like mass effect, gears of war 1, left 4 dead, etc. aren't exclusives because they're also on pc.

ninja gaiden 2 was overhyped but never really made something and will eventually go multi plat, fable 2 and gears 2 will be released on the pc. crackdown wasn't even good. halo 3's the only good game that'll remain exclusive so far :P

Ninja Gaiden 2 was built from the ground up on the 360 and is utilized ONLY for it.. so I don't think so.

Gears of War 2 seems to have no plans to go to PC.

If Fable 2 goes PC, it's going to be a graphics powerhouse.. as it does a lot of things that can take a toll on an outdated PC.

Crackdown is amazing.

What is it with you anti-MSFT people and wanting their games? That or just downplaying every single one of them that comes out? Is it possible to report people for stupidity?

Fable 2 will probably be on PC, I don't think Gears of War 2 will, Crackdown was really fun except the shooting is kind of weak, but still it's a great game, and I haven't played Ninja Gaiden 2 yet ... BUT, I do think it'll hit the PS3. They already have the Sigma engine for the PS3, they can just make the adaptation of NG2 for the Sigma engine on PS3, and I believe they will because of a lot of evidence coming out of Tecmo since Itagaki left.

5.4 - to no-spin, PS2 came out almost 10 years ago what does it have to do with this gen? Take the NO out of your name please. jejejeje
The Wii does not have really have anything to do with what the person said above me.

But to answer your question...

Wii is for casuals anyway, that's why it is leading all and also being from Nintendo is a couple of reasons why.

Wii is a gaming console just like the Ps3 and Xbox 360.

Banjo koozie is for casuals just like little big planet is
What you think the arcade system is for Hardcore with games like Kung Fu panda and Lego Indiana Jones please don't leave out the Wii because you don't like it and the ps2 is still selling even though its last gen

Of course Halo 3 is number one. It's the reason I (and I suspect many others) got a 360. However, my list is a little different.

1. Halo 3
2. Gears of War 1 (console exclusive)
3. Gears of War 2
4. Mass Effect (console exclusive)
5. Left for Dead (console exclusive)

After I finally get Fable 2, I am sure it will be up there.

I didn't like Crackdown at all and Ninja Gaiden II just felt like a rehash of the first.

i'd say remove fable 2 and put in left 4 dead.. but i'm after looking at the list again, it seems they chose only games published by Microft Game Studios

wow . . . I completely forgot about Huxley. And OMFGWTFBBQSAUSE at Mass Effect 2. Can't wait.

And I still don't understand this infatuation with Alan Wake that everyone seems to have . . . I mean, we haven't even SEEN anything.

People, stop putting Huxley in the "aniticipated" list. The game's been in open beta since June and, reportedly, is awful. This game may not even see the light of day. Think "Hellgate: London" yet somehow even more broken and fundamentally flawed.

ME2 and Alan Wake, however... pure gold.

But on a more serious note, the PS3 exclusive library simply trounces the 360. All of a sudden this past year PS3 has seen a plethora of real, genuine article AAA quality exclusive games. And the Xbox gets... Ninja Gaiden II. And Fable 2. Meh.

What does the PS3 get? MGS4, LBP, Killzone 2, Wipeout HD. That's 2:1 (if you count NG2 as AAA and in the same league). And that's in the past 12 months (I have KZ2 at home waiting for me, so it counts ;), what's left for this year? Heavy Rain (I'm a tad wary of this one) and God of War III (FFXIII is also only on PS3 for this year). It's starting to look a little one-sided here. Now I'm not starting an argument about whether or not they're technically possible on the 360. They're simply not on it, and never likely will be. That's the reality. Microsoft needs to pull the finger out quick, screw exclusive DLC, they need full blown AAA exclusive games and some new IPs.

12 - you know 360's going to get good games in the future
360's capable of running nice looking games it just takes persistent game developers to grant that wish.

here's something to read (for all those gamers who like to read some tech news on both ps3 and 360). it's interesting.

how is it for fanboys?

it's from a registered submitter from MIRROR'S EDGE.COM, the creator of ME gives his lectures here as well, i also put "for all those gamers who like to read some tech news on both ps3 and 360" basically it's for people who are enlightened to read technical info.

13 - Crackdown? LOL
I don't know which console exclusives are the best on 360. I would say Gears and Halo, but that's too predictable, and frankly I'm not a fan of those two. I loved Bioshock, Lost Planet and Dead Rising but they're no longer exclusive. I don't know if I can count Mass Effect because it may not be console exclusive anymore, but include it just in case.

Obviously the following games are discarded: Too Human, Infinite Undiscovery, Two Worlds, Bulletwitch, vampire rain (formerly exclusive). I can't consider the 360 JRPGs since some of them have already been ported (Eternal Sonata is good), but others have been meh.

I personally loved Lost Odyssey, Fable 2, Blue Dragon, Ninja Gaiden 2, Condemned 1, GRAW 1 and Cromehounds which are not on PS3 or Wii but I doubt many consider these the best 360 exclusives. The 360 does have good games but as far as the system sellers go (like Halo 3 or Gears) I'm not a big fan. I guess I must be a niche gamer.

Haven't bought L4D and I don't know if I'll get Halo Wars yet. The (exclusive) game I'm most looking forward to is Alan Wake, I think that's the only game on 360 that is really pushing the envelope in terms of originality at least in terms of the storyline.

I wish Microsoft had more 1st party studios and that Rare released KI3 already.

Edit:

Below, yeah me too. I buy mostly multiplatform games on 360 because they either perform better in some cases, have achievements and/or extra DLC (except for fighting games, PS3 is my way to go there). On Ps3 I'm looking forward mostly for the platform exclusives, while on 360 I am looking forward to multiplatform games like Borderlands and Prototype, because I doubt that they'll make a decent PS3 port. Then again now that Home and Trophies are mandatory, I might rethink my position.

I just wish 3rd parties treated the PS3 better by using its features like extra blu-ray space, extra-CPU power, HDD (for good use, unlike the DMC4 install), Home and trophies.

I understand for sure. I own more PS3 exclusives than 360 exclusives. Oh, and bubbles for you.

However, I LOVE me some Halo and Gears.

19 - Lost Oddysey??
Am I the only person who thinks that's missing? That was an amazing game. I still don't know how people think Crackdown was that great of a game.It was fun, sure. But nothing that great. And I STILL don't see what the big deal about Halo is. 1,2 or 3. Especially with Mass Effect out there.

21 - As a 360 owner, 3 of these titles are just pathetic being called the top exclusives for the 360
Fable 2,Ninja gaiden 2 and Crackdown were shallow and not impressive at all (every game for their merits,fable with a lame story and half game of bugs,ninja gaiden with retarded story and a letdown to a solid first title and crackdown was a nice tech demo of what you could do in the city but it had no replay value or any depth to it besides the shallow elements of the abilities that you unlock),without going over my head,Gears2 and Halo3 are a make or brake games but even the mighty halo hasent changed alot from halo2,atleast for the casual halo player like myself,Sony was always the exclusives brand but now when money is a huge deal,microsoft is "stealing" their titles,but even the exclusives by sony dosent seem something interesting atall ,sure drakes fortune is a solid title,but its not a system mover,same for killzone,and i would be surprized to see god-of-war3 will do anything aswell,its about content and community intergration rather than exclusives anymore,even with the exclusives DLC that come to the 360 for most of the time.
