Comparing Exclusive Titles on the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network

Gaming Target's "Exclusive Arms Race" expands on its mission of comparing and contrasting the console exclusives on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii to also include the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.

Overall, the XBLA has nearly triple the number of exclusives as the PSN (61 to 22). The XBLA also has ten times the number of "AAA" exclusive downloadable games (20 to the PSN's 2).

Metascores for each title, a list of upcoming downloadable games for each service and a mini-update to the exclusive list for retail releases is also included.

Tell em, how long the 360 been out?Thats is right lonegr than the PS3,of corse they will have more exclusive games on there arcade.This is really stupid, and AAA is in the eyes of the people not score.

KingJFS6070d ago

But don't the people (i.e. the reviewers) create the score, which then creates the AAA status?

If the reviews don't matter, then what makes a AAA game?

jujunogo6070d ago

how the hell can you compare both when the 360 is almost 2 years old and ps3 isnt even 1 yet this forum was set up for 360 owners to destroy the ps3 fanboy sh#t.....and i own both 360 and ps3 but this isnt even a fair comparison

SwiderMan6070d ago (Edited 6070d ago )

When Sony's Head marketing guy says "Whereas our competition takes a bunch of old content and catalogs content from previous generations and offers that in a download fashion, our development organization are making games specifically for PS3."

Okay, so Sony's making original PS3 games and slamming the competition for reissuing old games. But the graph at the bottom of the article clearly shows that that's a Sony lie. IMO, good article.

HardKnockKid246070d ago

The 360 has only been on the market 1 year longer than the PS3, yet people would make it seem that its been there for 5 years. the PS3 is almost 1 and the 360 is almost 2, i'd understand double the exclusives but triple mean people prefer releasing on the 360. and 20 to 2 good games on 360 versus PS3 shouldnt be explained by the PS3 is 1 and the 360 is 2. OMG hate PS3 Fanboys, OMG hate 360 Fanboys!!! You guys are like the retarded siblings that everyone hates and considers a burden but has to love at the same time because their family. Get a life

Mr Marbles6069d ago

this is not stupid, the PS3 is supposed to be superior in everyway, you fanboys say it and Sony said it, now that it has been proven once again that that is a lie, you guys want to make excuses again. At launch the PS3 was supposed to blow the 360 away in every way, this is just one more way in which that has not and will not happen.

ALMIGHTYPS36070d ago

PSN is still in its infancy and it is also FREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

beast6070d ago (Edited 6070d ago )

Why are Xbox360 games consider Exclusive even though 80% of them are also on PC.

If thats the case than all PS2 exclusives which u can play on PS3 should also be consider exlusive. And since you can play them on ps3 should be added to its library as exclusive.

@3.1 Hello ...PS2 sony so it should be sony exclusive. So i am playing Bioshock on Vista on my VAIO. The list was 360 exclusive not MS. And lot of those games can be played on MAC anyway.

BloodySinner6070d ago

Hello? Remember something called Windows? It's a Microsoft product. So it's exclusive to Microsoft.

DrPirate6070d ago

hey idiot face, I use Steam to play my games, not windows. Valve gets my money. PC gaming is Steam's territory now.

InMyOpinion6070d ago

Console exclusive. I don't really mind if the game is on PC as well. As long as it's a good game I'm happy to be able to play it on my 360.

BLaZiN PRopHeT6070d ago

wow almost all of sony's PSN game were created by them while MS are from other companies interesting.

DrWan6070d ago (Edited 6070d ago )

If that is indeed true, the future is actually brither for Sony, because now that the PS3 is out, and these mini game takes 9 months to 1 year to make, we should see a steady stream of these games coming on the PSN as well as the xbox 360. Unless MS starts to make more exclusive then it will definately fall behind as company go multiplatform, i am not just talking about online.

remember some Sony official said, "Nintendo rely too much on first party all they are doing is recycling old franchise like Mario, zelda, and such" "Microsoft on the other hand rely too much on third party", and "I think we {Sony} are just striking the right balance".

While a year later, i think this quote do not necessarily apply to Nintendo as much as it did before, it definately still holds true. The worldwide studios for Sony i think it's bigger than both MS and nintendo combine and now 3rd parties are making the switch in ports and exclusive (Haze) and Rockstar (un-annouce games), i think PS3 is pretty save to securing more than 33% of the market this generation. Currently has 17% ish. i think. Nintendo and Xbox currently holding about 41%

calling all car took 9 months to create i think.

Douchebaggery6070d ago

the ps3 is evil nobody wanna to touch it

BLaZiN PRopHeT6070d ago

@4.1 if this is true then idk about the future for sony. i could understand if they had more 3rd party titles but they have 1 up coming. they dont have very much 3rd party support. itll change but who knows. the list is only for announced titles. so we have 2 wait and see.

DrWan6070d ago

I whole heartedly agree with you. Sony does need more than MGS and FF13 support, which will sell at least 4-5 million units combined, thse two games, for sure. i think FF13 will break 2 million in Japan alone.

If sony is in the same place it was one year ago, i would be very concern, becuase no exclusives from 3rd party, but now one year later we are seeing tremendous improvement to the situation.

last xmas, i think the only exclusive was Resistance, and that is a 2nd party game, so pretty much, u can consider it 1st party.

But however, this xmas, we have Haze (ubi) and UT (epic), both exclusive to the PS3 this xmas (some maybe timed) coming to PS3. Things are looking up for the PS3, and of course Sony still have a good stream of the 1st parties coming in with Uncharted, Rachet, soon Heavenly Sword coming as well. This xmas is better than last year's xmas for Sony, and the 2008 xmas will be better than the 2007 xmas no doubt with the GTA IV, FF, MGS already out by then, 2008 with its pricing around 400 or less (predicting the price)< i dont see why PS2 owners won't be converting then.

The battle will truely take a turning tide then, this xmas, i see Sony and Xbox going head to head, neck to neck. I think in the US, xbox will be able to sell a few hundred more consoles, but everywhere else in the world would be dominated by Sony.

Obviously i am excluding Wii, this generation, Wii will be owned by most families. It will be Wii + one more HD console for most people. But however there will be some hardcore Wii fan with only Wii.

jackdoe6070d ago

76% and higher are triple a? WTF? The two PS3 AAA titles are 80 and above. A lot of the AAA 360 titles are 76%! WTF? And I think that the Wii's VC beats all of them.

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_Brazil2d ago

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

isarai2d 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

CrimsonWing691d 19h 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.

solideagle1d 18h 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_Mal1d 17h ago

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

DaReapa1d 16h ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal1d 14h 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

boing11d 16h ago (Edited 1d 16h ago )

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.

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II - PC Wore it Better

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.

dadavis19922d ago

Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.

Michiel19891d 18h ago

there is a client made by modders and it also works online.

kevco331d 18h ago

Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.

Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
