Gaming Target has updated their monthly look at the battle of the console exclusives. The Xbox 360 continues to lead with 91 exclusives, with the Wii in second with 76 and the PS3 in last with 44. The list now includes publisher information, release dates and Metascores.
They have also spoken with Crossbeam Studios, the enigmatic developers of Wii-exclusives Orb and Thorn. The developer has stated for the record that both games are still on track but Thorn may appear on the Xbox 360 as well.
Companies, particularly public companies like Microsoft, need to grow.
i mean its pretty simple, they spent close to 30 billion in acquiring activision, they thought they'd make it bk no problem, and that didnt happen.
its just shit that because of MS's miscalculation alot of people lost their jobs.
They are going to use AI for a large portion of the game development process. Upper management need bonuses and the shareholders need more money. So, people will lose their jobs.
They shouldn't have bought any studios. Some is okay...but they went on a shopping spree...stupid
The better question is why did Microsoft buy publishers for a service they were subsidizing they knew couldn't support.
And why are so many websites trying to make people feel sorry for Microsoft instead of truly criticizing the fact they are closing studios and killing jobs that would have been fine if Microsoft themselves hadn't gotten involved.
Quit feeling sorry for Microsoft and start feeling sorry for the industry and the all the gamers who are actually losing out.
THIS IS MICROSOFTS FAULT.
The first thing that happens after any major acquisition or merger is a consolidation of the whole new portfolio, which includes cutting any excess, bloat or portfolios that don't fit the larger MO of the big boy. So far, it's been par for the course with Microsoft and that's why gamers have been so against this acquisition. Tango Gameworks is the beginning. You think Microsoft wants to pay to keep small timers like Ninja Theory in business?
There is absolutely zero evidence to suggest that Microsoft will improve any of these studios, but plenty to suggest that they will get rid of what they don't need and hold onto the IP. The real agenda of the acquisition was always to acquire The Elder Scrolls, Diablo, Fallout, Call of Duty, Candy Crush etc. that will create millions in passive revenue stream for Microsoft regardless of where the games release. Microsoft simply wants their cut.
Because of Games Pass Microsoft has no interest in investing in new IP which is risky and requires creative talent they can neither nurture nor manage. Game Pass has also not grown in the way Microsoft expected it to, even post acquisitions. Therefore the logical thing to do, without serious money makers to release, is to cut as much cost as possible.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
The only reason I'm approving this is because a lot of other "list" of exclusives have come to light and this one seems to be at least realistic since it seems most of this, if not all, are confirmed.
The most accurate exclusives list out there.
Xbox 360 has the better RELEASED Exclusives but the PS3 has the better UNRELEASED Exclusives and the Wii well i don't think they should even really be compared its a different type of console then PS3 and 360. Thats my opinion for games that i like.
Edit: To the people that disagreed with me how can you disagree are you going to tell me what games i like lol? I swear sometimes people disagree just to disagree lol.
Xbox 360 Titles that are multiplatform...please remove:
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles (It has been announced for PS3 by Pete Hines)
- Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of World War II (PS3 title too)
- Eternal Sonata (PS3 too)
- Two Worlds (Coming to PS3, confirmed by Topware's CEO)
PS3 titles missing:
- 2 Days 2 Vegas ( Will be PS3 exclusive)
- Brave Arms
- Chain Limit
- Cipher Complex
- Fury
- Metro 2033
- Motorstorm 2 (I have confirmation from GDC from the developers if needed)
- Ninja Gaiden Sigma
- Redwood Falls
- Soul Calibur IV
As you can see their list is bias.
Plus the "released" of course shows Xbox 360 with more titles cause its been out a year longer.
Here we go, list wars are such a bore.
Yet lets see if we can get through this thread in an orderly fashion.
Only one game was enough to make me buy a PS3 and that was Heavenly Sword, if it was on the 360 thats where I would have gone, But on the bright side I can play a good amount of those 360 games on my PC and the rest on my Bro's 360.
Good time for gamers, good time for fan boys, good times all around.
Anyway I expect 200 posts by tomorrow don't let me down N4G :D
Wow and some one disagrees?, mind saying what u disagree to? heh heh at least u didnt take my last few bubbles by accident lol
@POG your right I dont think 2 days 2 Vegas is exclusive to anyone.
