Playstation 3 has best exclusives

The Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 each have important titles, but which one has better exclusives? Both can lay claim to a fair share of AAA games, but one definitely has the edge over the other. So which lineup is stronger? Which one will give you more bang for your hard earned dollar? Let's start by taking a look at the biggest exclusives for each console.

The only 360 exclusive in that list I actually have to admit I would really like on the PS3 is Fable 2. But that is the only game. I don't want to buy a new console that gets old too quick with a big failure rate and expensive online play. So I guess I'll survive without Fable 2 with the massive PS3 exclusive lineup available right now and the upcoming. Nothing, I mean nothing can surpase the PS3 exclusive lineup.

allthough i do agree that sofar sony has the better upcoming portoflio of exclusives.

BUT

i wouldnt call out ms as the looser as long as E³ isnt over. ms showed pretty much nothing last year the chances that they come up with several new games is much likely.

couse sofar nintendo has the worst exclusive, they may have tons of em (wiimote bound) but most of them are really really bad.

1.7 - Sony definitely has the best exclusives this year.
I think it is extremely unlikely that microsoft has many big games, they might have 2 or 3 decent ones though there is no way Microsoft could have kept any BIG games hidden this long, and certainly not as many as Sony have already announced/will announce.

Guys. Look through my comments and you'll see that I've always been slightly critical of Xbox, and slightly more supportive of PS3.

But this article made me a bit sick inside. Yes, I should have been happy that there was a "pro-PS3" article, but this is not the way to do it.

1. Author says Xbox exclusives are all the same, PS3's have more variety - dear author, don't set an artificially small pool of games, and don't just focus on explaining the PS3 side of things. A Gears experience is very different from a Left4Dead experience.

2. Author says Sony's casual games are much "fresher", better than Xbox's - dear author, you forgot to mention how SingStar has lousy support in the US, how Buzz is not exactly for everyone. Remember a little thing called the Wii?

3. Author says that PS3's capabilities (Blu-ray space, "obvious power") make it better than the Xbox - dear author, not all developers can or want to take advantage of that, and it is too easy to dismiss the Xbox as technically inferior. It's not that simple a debate.

Please. To all blog writers, or pseudo-journalists. If you can't keep yourself distanced, and can't see things objectively, you will reveal your bias simply through the stuff you write.

1.16 - Joy, the only reason you'd get disagrees is because you are bringing up multiplatform titles.
In a conversation of exclusives.
360 has good games, but not more exclusives. Let me know when Ps3 sales has anything to do with having more quality AAA titles being released and planned to release in the future. No 360 owners bought Lips or Banjo, thats for sure. But does it matter? Nope because rare is still going to pump out titles.

One day you'll understand that games are selling fine, minus 30 million dollar ad campaigns with full cgi commercials running 247. I think Jaffe said it best when talking about PS3 exclusives/working with them. Sure you can make a multiplat that will sell better, but you're going to have a better exclusive product/challenge. And that trickles down to gameplay experiences. You want to talk sales, but you want to ignore the fact that the PS3 still has a higher attach ratio, which used to be important around here until sony started leading.

I'm sure 360 owners enjoy DLC in lieu of any actual games, just like im sure you are going to enjoy paying to unlock more content that is already shipped on the dvd disc in the future. I'd imagine that if the 360 did release a variety multitude of titles, you wouldn't have the starvation factor of nothing to play, so why not buy X. We will never know though.

PS3 owners enjoy those same good games as well, and second to none exclusives. Which is what gaming was about a few years ago.

edit:

joy,

There is no such thing as "buh buh exclusive to console" You dont see PS3 folk running around yelling about the Agency being a console "Exclusive"!, nor is anyone on the Ps3 fence every trying to reinvent the definition of 1 to 2.Which has been the term for years. Pc owners dont say "oo we've got all these exclusive to Pc games" either, and you know that.

Always seems to be the 360 side. Again, the only reason you'd get a disagree is because you're talking about multiplatform titles. One day exclusive might mean... multiplatform, but not today, and not in the past.

The whole ms still gets money argument is tired. Its obvious, but has nothing to do with justifying redefining multiplatform as exclusive. IGN doesn't call multiplats exclusive, neither does Gamespot, Times, but you're right. xboxkings.com does list Pc/360 titles as exclusive.

Can't have your cake and eat it too im afraid. your list has multiplatforms, simple as that. despite of what it does, or who may benefit, im playing L4d on my 5 year old PC still. And those sales dont seem to help Ms's game divisions that they have been shutting down.

@ sales talk and last year. Trolls will be trolls, are they the law that binds you? Since when is what they say poignant? Dont' get distracted by what naism said, and stick to the fact that you're listing multiple platform titles as exclusives to refute the story. One of these things has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Stick to what you're talking about and stop trying to hide behind other arguments. I told you why you'd get disagrees, simple as that.

-- and you're not even getting that many disagrees :)

1.19 - Joy,
none of this still has anything to do with your 360 list of exclusives.. including multiplatform titles. And I've commented already on why I brought up l4d.

Which is what you can't seem to get your head wrapped around. ;-). You cant speculate on what MS's bullet proof strategy is, neither can I. What I can do is point out that multiplatform isn't exclusive. which is the topic of the article. Sure you can pretend MS has some amazing strategy outside of starting early throwing out a few games and buying DLC.. but I'd say thats not the topic.

L4D is a multiplatform title. Not a "console exclusive" its not on the PS3. So when you compare Exclusives vs Exclusives, you cant really list multiplats. Which is why your list is not only old, but proving the point that the PS3 has better exclusives by all measurable industry standards as far as quality is concerned.

you're arguing about sales with no one. just fyi.

1.21 - joy, yes multiplatform titles are a big chunk of success for Ms, no one is denying that. O_O. But i cant let you try to pretend that is what your response was intending when i said "list games"
Ps3 has better exclusives. The 360 has less. You can try your hardest to spin that into something else, or change the subject into whether or not multiplatform games are financially successful, but I'm not going to go along with it. I commend your efforts, but you've just derailed into the typical response of, teh Saeellees! Same thing when graphical topics come up "buh buh teh core gameplay!" Yes, sales are important, and yes gameplay is important, but no one is arguing that one is of severely greater importance than the other, and thats the argument you're going after. The one no one made.

MS/360 Fans have created the made up title of "Exclusive to Pc and 360 and not on Ps3!" While the rest of the gaming world sticks to the normal titles for games. It needs to be addressed, especially when you try to debate my claim using multiplatform titles.

So again, if you think that the 360 has more exclusive titles. Feel free to list them.

1.23 - Such a subjective statement
I know a lot of 360 owners that would disagree.

I've shown these people MGS4, LBP, R2, KZ2, and Uncharted and all I got was a "meh....nothing looks better than Gears 2."

you're just not going to win this argument because so many are fanboys.

Why bother to convince fanboys when you obviously know its all for naught.

Just like JOY, no point in convincing him. His opinion is his alone like so many others out there. Here let me show you:

Halo 3 (Great online but mediocre campaign, brings nothing fresh to the genre)
Gears of War 1 & 2 (Really intense games, online was gimped a bit)
Left 4 Dead (Pretty fun, only if you have online though. Other than that there isn't much replay value)
Mass Effect (Solid Game)
Fable 2 (Found a lot of glitches and nothing changed from the first one to much)
Crackdown (neat game, nothing special though)
Forza2 (Was cool for awhile but it's just not my thing)

Metal Gear Solid 4 (one of my fav franchises of all time, the cutscenes blew me away, epic story, gameplay was phenomenal)
Killzone 2 (Awesome game, story was meh at best, unmatched graphics seen on any console. Online is addictive as hell and extremely well done.)
Little Big Planet (You wanted something fresh, here it is. Great game to play with friends online, endless hours of fun and always new levels to be played.)
Valkyria Chronicles (don't like jrpg's, just like I didn't list SO4 which alot of people liked on 360)
Uncharted (Fantastic game, totally blew Lara Croft out of the water. Graphics were best I've seen, story was intriguing, characters were very well done, and the gun fights and melee were extremely fun)
Ratchet and Clank (It's like playing a pixar movie, cept with guns. Just one of the funnest platformers I've played in a good while.)

See what I did there. Opinions are what counts.

Why is the guy including Valkyre Profile and ignore the Mistwalker/NAMCO titles exclusive to the Xbox 360?

Why is he including Uncharted and ignoring titles from developer RARE, or Lost Planet which falls in a similar category?

Sure the PS3 has a solid first party line-up, but so does the Xbox 360. Also, this year is looking better in terms of variety. Alan Wake is a survival horror game, Splinter Cell is an stealth game and HALO ODST looks like it will be a tactital shooter instead of a FPS and I still see likely to have Forza 3 unveiled at this E3, an excellent racing game.

RARE is likely to release either a fighting game (Killer Instinct) or a FPS, and lets not forget Halo Wars, which is an RTS, something the PS3 library is currently thing of.

So, so far we have as exclusives:

RPGs, both Western and Japanese. (Mass Effect, Fable, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Start Ocean)
RTS (C&C Red Alert - timed - , Halo Wars)
Racing - Forza Motorsport, PGR
Fighting - Probably Killer Instinct 3
Shooters: Halo, Gears of War, Lost Planet
Karaoke: Lips
Kids/Others: Banjo Kazooie, Viva Piñata.
Stealth: Splinter Cell V
Survival: Alan Wake

I believe the Xbox 360 library has a lot of variety most of which are high profile titles. The problem is mainly that the highest selling games - hence the best known - tend to be shooters, but it doesn't mean that there are not other excellent titles in different genres.

I never intended to be right or wrong about anything. Just giving you my opinions on games just as you did.

Don't know why people take advice from others about some games that they didn't "feel" and not give it a chance at the very least. For instance Halo, I had a friend who never tried it out mainly due to his Sony loyalism, short end of the stick was that after a couple days of badgering him he ended up playing it, damn near starved himself.

Amazing eh? haha.

It's all a matter of taste and the experience taken out of it.

The article is clearly looking at the BEST exclusives on both consoles, not ALL the exclusives. This is why it doesn't include the RARE games (which are decent, but not for everyone). You've clearly never played Valkyria Chronicles (not Valkyre Profile) since it's nothing like ToV, any Mistwalker game, or any other PS3/360 game for that matter.

Honestly, it doesn't really matter what MS does at E3 because they're still competing with Sony - even without exclusives. Still have yet to see an NPD that doesn't list MS ahead. And let's not forget the 10 million console lead the 360 already has over PS3.

As for the article, here's a gem from the wordsmith: "Where I think the Playstation 3 really separates itself, however, is with its exclusive games that no one ever talks about."

Maybe they never talk about them because they're not very good.

You might want to start fact checking your google searches. I'll point out the most glaring error, and you can sort the rest out.

Prototype, which you have listed as a PS3 exclusive, is multi-plat, and has been multi-plat since the games inception.

that's right, it's for the people who can't afford a high end console, it's as simple as that, if you pay more, you get more.
i know i am a fanboy, but i have reasons to be one: i want the best console, and not one that breaks in 2 weeks, and where you have to say after half an hour of gaming: aah i have to stop gaming, or else the console gets too hot, and it will probably break!
i don't want a console that scratches discs!
i don't want a console that sounds like a friggin vacuum cleaner!
i want a reliable console with good exclusives!
reasons enough!
btw: i, and many other ps3 users, can name alot of reasons why the ps3 is the console to choose over the 360.
