The results are shocking – well maybe not so much.

PS3 Exclusives – 13 (14 – 1 : Cancelled)

XBox 360 Exclusives – 22

Non-Exclusive Games – 18 (20 – 2 : Oblivion Editions)

However, lets remove the list of TBA/Q? 200? games and CrossEdge, which is JP only. Now the results are even more telling. This means games with a definite release date by end of this year.

PS3 Exclusives – 2

XBox 360 Exclusives – 12

Non-Exclusive Games – 8 (10 – 2 : Oblivion Editions)

"BTW, of the Non-Exclusive Games, Oblivion is listed thrice so I have reduced the number by 2. FF13 VS is currently a PS3 exclusive. How many people want to bet that the big news at E3 next year will be that FF13 VS is coming to XBox 360? Also worth noting is that many of the Non-Exclusive games were released much later on the PS3, some as long as a year later."

"No wonder XBox 360 is outselling the PS3 even in Japan… Japan is traditionally an RPG market and even has its own genre – JRPG 🙂 From an RPG gamer perspective, its perfectly clear which console you should be buying :)." (Wow I feel good having bought the wrong one!)
