I think that graph will only get a bigger difference. The PS3 and 360 cater towards the same group and they do usually get the same games for the most part. If not right away they'll get them both over time. Most games for the Wii couldn't be brough over to the PS3 or 360 due to the control method and it would have to use a new engine supporting HD and all that. So I think we are going to see a lot of multi games and then Wii games. Sony and MS will only have thier own devs making the exclusives and have to pay out for 3rd party exclusives.

This is all in the short term run. Maybe 2-3 years down we'll start getting all them exclusives back again, but right now each is fighting for a nice instal base.

HOME, LBP, Singstar, and the God of War trilogy's last installment will impact the PS3? (I know they didn't want to include downloadable content, but these are big, except for GOW3 ~ this game will be mighty mighty sick). =]

Anyway good showing from all involved imo.

Bring my bubbles back guys. We've got some booty hurt fangirls waiting in the lurch to drop IED's on peoples bubbles. Let's go!

wii has the most coz wii games dont take years to make like the 360 and ps3 games.

GodofPeace6114d ago

These are just confirmed exclusives. we'll see more from all sides of the competition. However yes the Wii is very easy to develop for because people just creates mini-games

ChickeyCantor6114d ago (Edited 6114d ago )

So easy development equals mini-games?
The Wii is just more simple then the other two, and its no wonder its almost using the same GCN structure, and lots of devs are already known with it.

If the PS3 and xbox360 get something( like a tool) that makes game development easier doesnt mean there is only going to be mini games.

Edit:
you talk like if there are only mini games.

GodofPeace6114d ago

You can't tell me with a straight face that the majority of the games coming out of for the Wii are collection of mini-games,party games and non=games like Wii Fit

ChickeyCantor6114d ago

"Satoru Iwata thinks this could push the Wii to even greater sales heights than the PS2.(currently sitting at 120 million sold worldwide and counting). If that happens, expect to see more exclusives that will appeal to a segment of gamer (the so-called “hardcore gamer”) that might currently feel neglected by the Wii."

Not sure about the 120 but i agree about the games.
There will be games for everyone.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
