Has The PS3 Already Won The Exclusive Battle?

Early in this generation, those who disliked Sony and had little to no faith in the PlayStation 3, derided the company for losing third-party exclusives. Along with complaints of an exorbitant price and a typically mediocre launch software lineup, this was one of those legitimate complaints that most avid PlayStation followers simply didn't want to acknowledge. It was true: Sony lost Grand Theft Auto, Devil May Cry, and most recently, Final Fantasy. ...and yet, here we sit, less than two and a half years later, and it seems as if the PS3 has - by far and away - the best and most promising exclusive lineup of software.

[original seed]

Its always a matter of preference.

[ape007]

ps3 delever in all fronts

kz2 alone worth buying a ps3 for

mgs 4 is fantastic

ps3 has much more to offer

2 things I want to sony to do to make ps3 more than perfect

1-3rd party devs use its potential,instead of your typical "xbox 360 port" and use blu-ray space to increase their worlds.

2-sony we want a true groundbreaking FW updates in the very near future(E3 time).hope 2.7 turns true

other than that ps3 is all around amazing\must buy system

ps3 ftw

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

The only real battle is sales. Yes, there I said it. Sales is the driving factor behind support to the detriment of gamers.

PS3 might have some mighty upcoming first party exclusives, but if they don't sell well enough, it won't get the strong support from third party publishers. Although, it doesn't matter anymore as PS3's install base is large enough to continue to support it.

[will11]

Press Agree if you think the PS3 Won. Press Disagree if you think the Xbox 360 won... plz bubble up if you vote

[pswi60]

and maybe someday God of War 12 and Killzone 9 will be multiplat

but the fact is that PlayStation owners get the best exclusives and the same multiplats as Xbox RIGHT NOW. LBP, MGS4, KZ2, and many others are only available on ps3.

if you want UE3 games and multiplats with 1-2 frames per second better during menus or slightly less aliasing when you pause the game and take a ruler to your tv, then you don't need a ps3.

but if you want the best games money can buy, with a free online social community, user generated game content, and next gen first and third person shooters, then what are you waiting for? Killzone 2 is out right now, and it is Epic people....EPIC!!!

[soxfan2005]

The one genre where the PS3 doesn't deliver as far as exclusives while the 360 does is racing - which is, by far, my favorite genre. Here's a rundown:

360 has Forza 2 - the ONLY complete current generation driving sim. While Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is a good game (and has AMAZING graphics), it's 6 tracks and 70+ cars cannot compete with Forza 2's 35 tracks and 300+ cars. Plus, Forza 2 is still a very good looking game, and also runs at 60FPS.

360 has Project Gotham Racing 3 and 4. These games perfectly blend arcade racing with sim aspects. While PGR3 is really just an upgrade of PGR2, PGR4 is a true sequel, adding new cars, bikes, tracks, weather effects, and career mode. PGR4 is, in my opinion, the best looking racer on 360, and is very close graphically to GT5P - even though it came out a year earlier.

360 also has Burnout Revenge, the best of the Burnout series. While this is not really an exclusive because a backwards compatible PS3 can play the PS2 version, doing so would mean you would have to settle for last-gen graphics. The 360 has it's own graphically enhanced version.

360 has Race Pro - the only current generation racing sim. I do not have an opinion on this game because I have not played it yet.

PS3 does have Motorstorm 1 and 2, which are great games. (I've only played part 1). But, Motorstorm is off-road racing, and off road racers are not as popular as games with real tracks and cars.

Looking ahead, I see no racers on the PS3's release schedule. The full version of GT5 would seem to be at least 18 months away, while Forza 3 will probably be out this year.

As I said before, racing is my favorite genre, and I ultimately chose to buy a 360 because of its racers. I don't think I am alone either - racing is a huge genre, and 360 simply has the best exclusive racing games. This is probably a factor when it comes to sales of the consoles. You have to remember, to a new buyer of a PS3 or 360, ALL games are new, regardless of when they were released. The current crop of games is just as important of a factor as upcoming releases.

[XLiveGamer]

That's the thing this fans don't understand.

Its all about preference you may have a good amount of exclusive but the question is ¿Everybody its going to like them? of course not.

I am really tired of the same bull5h!t of "oohh PS3 have a lot of exclusive this year" Exclusives sell consoles to those that like the game get it?

Kamikaze135 posted a big list of PS3 exclusives but how many of them are really good games? There's a lot of them that you don't own or are just future release. ¿Do i care about them? ¿What? ¿Now i am a hater because i don't like them or i am not interested on them?

You cant say that the exclusives the PS3 have make the console win over Xbox 360 already.

Its the entire world buying a PS3 for Killzone 2 or MGS4?

Hey PS3 fans disagree all you want but that don't change the reality.

lol... to get a lot of disagrees all you need to do its post: I don't like Killzone 2 or I don't like the PS3. lol

Original Seed have a lot of disagrees and i really want to know why?

What? ¿PS3 turns you into a dictator?

[ps3d0]

I agree with XLixe. Funny thing to me is how ps3fanboy try to make every signle ps3 exclusive game out to be a AAA game and one of the greatest games ever made even if the game is only midcore or out right bad. I seriously dont see 360 owner doing that. Look at Kameo that game is amazing might not AAA but its definitly an A game. Yet no one ever gives it the slightest bit of credit. Now look at Yakuza 3 a so called AAA game but has anyone on here even played a Yakuza game before or hell even heard of it before people started hyping Yakuza 3 as a AAA game ?

[ape007]

I was talking about the ps3

the 360 is a must buy system,all these exclusives,199$ and the best online service

I prefere the ps3 a bit more(that's me)

I respect any other opinion

gears of war 2 and left 4 dead are awesome

to me,it would suck if I don't have a 360

and it would suck more if I don't have a ps3

perfect balance

everyone have his balance

kz2 made that "more"

choice is yours :)

ps360 FTUW,"u stands for ultimate" LOL

[original seed]

and i have 27 disagrees and counting.

XliveGamer, Some people on here will never understand. They dont get it.

I used to have 10 bubbles (Not that i care) But then i start talking straight over a couple of weeks and im down by half.

IT IS A MATTER OF PrEFERENCE. I enjoy

Fable
Mass Effect
Halo
Gears
Splinter Cell
Dead Rising
Left for Dead
Viva Pinata
Forza
GTA Exclusives
Fallout Exclusives

Its my preference. Its that simple. However, I also bought a PS3 for MGS4.

Im sure some of you enjoy

LBP
MGS4
Uncharted
Resistance
Killzone

[ape007]

splinter cell convection looks to be super amazing

ubisoft montrial is developing it,the same team that developed sc:chaos theory which was one of the greatest games of all time and the 2nd greatest game after halo 1 on xbox 1 imho

I WANT CONVECTION NOW

ALSO ALAN WAKE!!!!

remedy,I trust you,max payen 1 and specially 2 were amazing,I want AW to totally blow me away

happy times and I understand what you said,I didn't disagree(this place is full of sony die hard fanboys honstly)

have bubbles :)

[Why dis]

Agreed...

I mean come on where are we again?(N4G) "psxextreme.com" saying this isn't surprising.

[Le Idiotce]

They have already conquered!!!

Where are the MS first party exclusives in 2008? Banjo Kazooie people. Banjo flopzooie was MSs only first party title.

In 2009, they have failo wars and halo expansion as first party titles.

Thats it! In 2 years time, they dont have a thing to brag about.

Has Sony already won in the first party exclusives? Sony has already destroyed MSs first party studios people!

Bungie has abandoned ship
PGR is no more
Ensembles has closed down
Rare is being restructured.

ITS OVER LONG AGO.

[SL1M DADDY]

At the third party exclusives that "could have been" on the PS3 only and comparing them with the exclusives that are only on PS3, you can see that the quality of the games is far different. Aside from Haze and Lair (I actually liked Lair), each of the heavy hitters in Sony exclusive line is as good as or better than any of the games that might have been exclusive but went multiplatform.

[Agent VX]

Sorry to disappoint, but the PC has this category all sown up.

Only console exclusives I am excited about is Forza 3, GT5 and sort of GOW 3. That's about it!!!

For my PC, there is the new Company of Heroes, Empire: Total War (GOTY 2009), the new World in Conflict: Soviet Assault (Game will be unplayable on 360/PS3), Grand Ages: Rome, Heroes Over Europe, Hearts of Iron III and Storm of War: Battle of Britain just to name a few.

[You Already Know]

I'm wondering why you stated a fact and 36 people hit disagree...

[callahan09]

Sox Fan: I'm a racing fan, too, and I've had plenty of good experiences on the PS3. I think Ridge Racer 7 was amazing, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue was really great (still the best graphics & controls in a racing game, in my opinion), Ferrari was a good game, and if you're a real racing game vet you'll love it (casual racing game fans may not because it's very, very difficult), and of course Motorstorm Pacific Rift is just great (I know it's not the kind of racing you're probably in to, but for me, it's my favorite racing game this generation so far). Then there's the multiplatform games (Burnout Paradise, woo!) With a full version of GT5 coming sometime in 2010 most likely, I'm willing to say that if you are a racing game fan and only buy a PS3, you'll still have a great time now and especially in the future. The 360 has a lot of good racing games too, no doubt, but I don't think it's a blow-out victory by any means... PS3 owning racing fans have a lot to play.

[You Already Know]

you said it's all about preference and then question how many PS3 exclusives that were mentioned are good games...and then act like it's only KZ2 and MGS4...

you sort of contradicted yourself...

either that or you just really muddied up your point...

[Mainman]

In my oppinion, whoever has Metal Gear Solid on his system exclusively has won by defealt (I am a major MGS fan). In this case it is the PS3.

[Elven6]

One good year and already the PS3 fansites are calling it a win? At least wait till the Xbox 720, PS4, etc before looking back and say, "Hey who really brought to the table" or at the most the end of this year. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for titles like Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2 (I'm a sucker for stuff that deals with the past :p), etc

Its already been confirmed Rare is coming out with 4 new projects this year, I assume the two new Ensemble studios will have something to unveil this year as well, not sure what platform but interesting none the less. Don't forget Smith & Tinker which is as of now a Microsoft second party studio and hard at work since 07 on ex FASA franchises.

[soxfan2005]

@callahan

You're right - Ridge Racer 7 is a great game. I like Ridge Racer 6 for 360 (I think they are basically the same game). I forgot about PS3 Ferrari - I've wanted to play that game. I hope it comes out for 360 this year. I loved the F355 game for Dreamcast too - now that was REALLY hardcore.

[Danja]

dude how could you forget "WipeOut HD"...this game is pure awesomeness ...

btw Motorstorm 2 is the best Off Road Racer ever....IMO

and one thing...Burnout 3 still remains the best in the series IMO ..XD

[Argento-Nox]

@1.19 Elven6

Enlighten me again, what exactly has Rare put out this gen that can be considered good, even compared to their old classics? 4 games coming from Rare doesn't mean much these days considering they're in the middle of re-structuring, which rarely is a good sign.

[Arnon]

I own:

Xbox 360:

Gears of War 1 & 2
Fable 2
Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Castle Crashers
Portal: Still Alive
Left 4 Dead
Ninja Gaiden 2
Aces of The Galaxy
Braid
and some others

PS3:

Little Big Planet
Killzone 2
Metal Gear Solid 4
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm
Flower
Pixel Junk: Monsters
Flower
Noby Noby Boy
WipEout HD

Every single one of these exclusives that I have bought are amazing. I actually have never NOT enjoyed an exclusive game. All my multi-platform titles go to the 360. And this is being unbiased in the least way possible. The only reason I own more games on my 360 is because I've had it longer. I choose my 360 because of Xbox LIVE. But that doesn't mean I don't play my PS3 on a regular basis.

The point I'm trying to get across.. is that both consoles cannot "win" anything. It's all about preference. And you would be depriving yourself to miss out on either one of the console's games.

[ThanatosDMC]

Here we go again with "exclusives" a lot of those mentioned above can be bought on steam and actually plays better on PC/laptops.

GTA exclusives
Fallout exclusives

Wow, just wow... DLC and it's being counted as a whole game? GTA is game full of games. The DLC should have been included in first place just like Fallout "expansions"... but that's my opinion.

Also, please play the games first before you start bashing them. Fable is not that good, btw. Though i was enticed by the mini game of forging swords. That was cool and innovative.

Banjo Kazooie <--- HA!

Dead Rising on the 360 is by far is the most enjoyable game for me compared to most games.

[sonysuks]

sony fans are delusional
anything to keep there spirits high, even if they have to lye to each other. thats the type of people sony attracts. there is way more xbox 360 owners and fans right now and this site you see is full of the fans that can't let go of a loss, you have been outsold since the sony launch by 2,000,000 units. xbox 360 exclusives have sold ten times better.

yet sony fans out of desperate measure have them self a big stroke fest at n4g. it's just a bunch mindless stroking going on in here.

Sony has lost the f=ing battle, get over it and stop stroking your sony friend of with delusional wins, when the numbers clearly show a loser.
in the end the wallet determines a winner and loser.

Wii is the real winner

[StephanieBBB]

@original seed

It's funny how every game you enjoy is a 360 exclusive? :S
I mean you should be able to enjoy games for what they are but that seemes not to be the case. To me it doesn't matter if a game is on the 360, ps3 or wii. If someone has put thier heart and soul in to it and made it top notch then im buying it. If they slack and release unfinished piece of crap then they can go and shove a roll of quarters up thier A-hole because I'm not buying it.

@XLiveGamer

Nope not everyone is going to like a specific console's exclusives but do you know what? Thats the beauty of having multiple consoles on the market because we as gamers get more games and alot of more options. The only problem is that in the end we are gonna get so spoiled that developers will have to be developing games for 3-4 years just so the quality standard is as high as everyone expects. If it doesn't hold up then thier game will not sell well and that will hurt the market more than anything else.

[Arnon]

Why do I get the feeling you just contradicted yourself. You state "Don't bash a game until you play it", but then you say "Banjo-Kazooie - HA!"

Banjo-Kazooie 1 on the XBLA is just as good as the one from N64.. except with more stuff in it.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is DAMN fun. And it's extremely underrated.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

@^

How did he contradict himself? Maybe he played it and did not like it. Ever thought of that?

@sonysuks

Do you think anybody is going to take you seriously with a name like "sonysuks" as your username? The only delusional fanboy in here is you. You have it set in stone to hate Sony.

Xbox fanboys on this site have very weak logic.

[Kamikaze135]

This year the PS3 gets:

[Rock Bottom]

I'm almost sure War Devil and L.A. Noire wont see light this year, still, GoD3, KZ2 and Uncharted 2 are more than enough to beat that poor 360 line up.

In hope for Alan Wake to show up before 2010.

[yanikins111]

why

pretty sure gt5 was confirmed for around xmas, and heavy rain for about july.....

[Why dis]

You could be right some of those games have different info every few months even more so with PS3 titles.

I do know about 3 or 4 big PS3 games PS3 fans put on their lists have been pushed back

So I get to add these to my list above.

Gears 2
Fable 2
Left 4 Dead

I guess the so called exclusive battle doesn't matter because consumers vote with their wallets lol.

[original seed]

You have to remember that Microsoft doesn't show its hand early like Sony. They always keep things hush hush. Until E3 rolls about then we will see what they have in store.

[ps92117]

k, lost planet, mass efffect, ferrari project(lol already on ps3), test drive are not 360 exclusives, they are multiplats. and almost every game after age of conan( repeated twice) and age of conan are ports of an old pc title. Again you included some arcade, if you want to talk psn then tell me. As for the rest, which one of those are anticipated AW, splinter or OSDT, lol. admit fuking defeat bich and move on.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

@ original seed u dont think sony has a lot of secrets they only making known games that people know will come out why surprpise people about it

[HoofHearted]

Almost half those 360 games are multiplat that you listed or not confirmed exclusive for the 360.

Nice try though!

[Sonyslave3]

no no only thing ps3 is wining is being third place

[PirateThom]

Sony could scrap the PS3 and never sell another console and it wouldn't matter. The games are the important thing and it's delivered... and it's going to keep delivering.

If you're too blind to see that, then you're not a gamer.

[sonysuks]

anything to keep there spirits high, even if they have to lye to each other. thats the type of people sony attracts. there is way more xbox 360 owners and fans right now and this site you see is full of the fans that can't let go of a loss, you have been outsold since the sony launch by 2,000,000 units. xbox 360 exclusives have sold ten times better.

[n to the b]

"Sony could scrap the PS3 and never sell another console and it wouldn't matter. The games are the important thing and it's delivered... and it's going to keep delivering."

that doesn't even make any sense!

[Major_Tom]

How did that not make sense?

If PS3 went the way of the Dreamcast it would probably be immortalized.

Look at how many awesome games Dreamcast has, and now look how many awesome games PS3 has.

It would be the same if Xbox 360 faded, they would all be immortalized because of the games.

Sales are this manipulation of thought, they just try to provoke people into thinking sales some how matter to a gamer.

If you're a real gamer, why would sales matter? They haven't so far. Console sales have never stopped producing awesome games.

I'm off to play Killzone 2. Happy gaming.

[swiftshot93]

but then you also have Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, and God of War 3.

[Acquiesc3]

Definitely agreed. The next Team ICO game was the biggest factor why I decided to buy a ps3.

[TrueStoryGuy]

Can't wait for Team Ico's new game... and I say that without really seeing anything offered by them, but that's from my complete confidence from their two previous great games:
Ico
&
Shadow Of The Colossus.

[Zeus Lee]

I really don't think you should use Metal Gear Solid 4,a third party franchise that is not a Playstation exclusive,as the story pic.

[Kamikaze135]

Because it's on the ipod touch? Does that even count? lol

[caffman]

MGS has been on a shedload of consoles

[Zeus Lee]

Also the fact that the series is owned by Konami and not Sony,meaning they can put any Metal Gear game on any platform they see fit.

Don't be surprised if MGS4 is made for the Wii =)

[xlx-russ_92]

Big Fat LOL

[Kamikaze135]

You're right, but I made a nice long list of the 2009 exclusives. That should more than be enough to convince anybody that the PS3 will be taking 2009. Still, both systems will get great games. Yes...both...I find it really hard to consider the Wii a system. Feels more like a plug and play toy from the 90's.

[tee_bag242]

RE:Zeus Lee

"Don't be surprised if MGS4 is made for the Wii =)"

Nah mate... nah

[xlx-russ_92]

i'd rather see mgs on 360 then stupid wii.

ps3 fanboys what ever make yall happy

[PirateThom]

Microsoft fanboys, whatever makes you happy... :-/

[mynd]

"As far as I can tell, the Xbox 360 has the Gears series and that's about it. "

Hmm, clearly this article is coming form someone who took the time to research his article in depth....

What a waste of time and effort on everyone's part this article is.

[EvilCackle]

It's the usual preaching to the choir.

[Le Idiotce]

360 has Gears and thats about it. And Gears 3 is not even exclusive anymore.

Anyone can name all the "exclusives" 360 is getting, but the reality is that 99% of that list will consist of games that people who loves videogames will not even bother looking at.

And only delusional fanboys will claim otherwise.

[mynd]

@ 6.2, you prove, that you have no interest in games. Well done.
Go Sony, Go Sony, it's your birthday..grow up.
The 360 has good games, the PS3 has good games.
The only people "winning", dont care about you, they just want your money.

[dimitry21]

THE PS3 DONT EVEN HAVE ANY RPG I WISH IT DID

[mynd]

Or a decent racing game...oh it's coming...but we wait....

[BaSeBaLlKiD721]

decent racing game???

helloooo?????? motorstorm ring a bell??? gran turismo 5 prologue???

[soxfan2005]

@7.2

See my comment at 1.5

[Kamikaze135]

Oh please. I beg to differ. In my opinion, Wipeout HD is the best racing game in the current gen.

[mynd]

You know what I mean, car racing, with damage and goes brrr. brrr vroom. In a car. Based on a real car.
Oh, why the hell am I bothering. Next you'll be telling me Lair was a flight sim.

[INehalemEXI]

VC, Folklore, Demon Souls , etc theres a slow trickle at this point but there coming. Yeah and GT5P is awesome. Though its just a taste of whats to come.

[Why dis]

LOL at the PS3 fanboys in the gamer zone listing all known PS3 exclusives for 2009 and 2010 and posting a lazy biased list for the 360.

[SonySoldierEternaL]

lol @ you always having more disagrees than agrees

and don't give me that biased crap

[n to the b]

lol thanks for proving sonysuks's point (see above)!

[EvilCackle]

You know who won this epic console battle between Xbox 360 and PS3 that everyone hypes up?

The Wii.

[v1c1ous]

# sony 1st party studios: 17
# sony 2nd party studios: 14

# microsoft 1st party studios: 5 (3 actively for 360 only)
# microsoft 2nd party studios: 2

of course microsoft has to fight tooth and nail to get exclusive content from 3rd parties. they have no choice.

[Zeus Lee]

Disagree all you want,you'll remember my comment once Kojimas translator drops the megaton.

[Kamikaze135]

Even IF Metal Gear Solid 4 goes to the 360, so what? There are still about 30+ PS3 exclusives coming in 2009 (not even counting PSN games). I love my 360, but even I can admit that 2009 just isn't the year for the 360. It's lost it's mojo, lol.

[ThePlaystationFour]

Yes

[TrueStoryGuy]

Is this what we're coming to already? The PS3 is already behind both the Wii and the 360 and they're calling the PS3 the winner? I love the PS3 just as much as anyone else, but this is a ridiculous claim.

Talk to me after Heavy Rain, MAG, Uncharted 2 and Quantum Theory get released. Then, maybe, if the PS3 is pulling ahead of the 360 and Wii will we claim "victor".

[PirateThom]

Not talking about sales, talking about exclusive games.

[dktxx2]

Sales don't equal quality. The wii is a prime example of that.

[EvilCackle]

And the article's trying to make the point that exclusives -> sales. To quote:

"When MGS4 launched, there was a huge PS3 sales spike. When Gears 2 launched, there was a huge 360 sales spike. Therefore, there's no doubt that exclusives will continue to play a very large role in the hardware sales success of both competing companies. And as far as I can tell, Sony may have this one sewn up already"

His point is that the PS3 is going to have more exclusives and thus will ultimately pull ahead in sales. So TrueStory's actually correct to talk about sales here.

[ThePlaystationFour]

The article basically talking about "Exclusives". Not Sales.

[TrueStoryGuy]

It would appear that my half-assed comment has some holes in it. To clarify, what I meant to say was after those PS3 exclusive releases (MAG, Quantum Theory, Heavy Rain) then the PS3 would have a better chance of "winning".

Hope this clarifies things.

[Why dis]

This year the PS3 gets:

Blah Blah Blah You'll be lucky if 75% of those PS3 games see the light of day in 2009 and part of 2010.

[Obama]

Isn't it ironic that sonyslaves and Why Dis are dissing the release date of ps3 games while failing to acknowledge that more than half of the games that Why Dis listed are no where to be seen, not even a cg trailer lol?

[Why dis]

I'm sure whatever this loser has said, can be applied to the PS3 fanboy lists or the PS3 fanboys themselvs.

[ps92117]

@5.3 hmm really, so how many of those 360 games do you think will make it in 2010 lol do you think half of those will make it 2010, cause I doubt it? As for not seeing light, lol only one of those has not been showend to public, unlike yours and again some of those that you listed are'nt even exclusives so what in the hell are you talking about, budy shut the hell up you are pushing my buttons and like I said if any 360 fan dares challenge ps3 exclusives I will seriously duplicate every leter with a exclusive.

[Obama]

What I have said is fact. Look at the ps3 exclusive list you have made; we have seen all their footages one way or the other. Now look at the 360 exclusive list; where are halo chronicles, killer instinct 2, blue dragon 2, 2 days to vegas, prey 2 etc? They are nowhere to be seen and you don't even know if they will be coming in 09.

[Le Idiotce]

or not even worth glancing at for 2 seconds.

The reality is that you utterly fail in trying to convince us that the 360 line up is on equal footing with the PS3.

Its not even on equal footing with the wii line up. Let alone the PS3 line up.

You are utter failure. The reality is that no true gamer will honestly look at 2days in vegas and say "WOOOHHH MUST HAVEE!!!!". Youre an pathetic xbot in denial living in fantasy land. It doesnt matter because reality will catch up with you soon enough. Just like how your dad got fired the other week.

[dustgavin]

Why dis has had plenty of time to bash Ps3 games because he barely has anything to play on 360. Well....loads of DLC and excusives that are scoring in the 80's - 70's. Meanwhile, the rest of us are playing Killzone 2.

[Jerk120]

Do you know why they're not worth glancing at for two seconds? BECAUSE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PLAY THEM.

There'd be absolutely no point whether you glance at them or not.

And your idiot ass does not include everyone.

As of right now the Ps3 hasn't much a lineup to begin with. Its only apparently worthy (yet I know it sucks but anyway) release this year is Killzone 2 which is supposed to last until what? Q4? And here you are CELEBRATING as if they've thrown you 20 AAA games like Killzone 2 in the exact same month leaving us in overkill..

Look, Microsoft doesn't need to put much effort here to turn the tables and you can bet your Pro-Sony ass that they will. It's only a matter of time and the year has only begun. You honestly think they're going to IDLE their asses? You don't know Microsoft.

Ofcourse.. that's if they haven't turned the tables already.

As for ''NO TRU GAMAH GON LOOK DIS GAEM N BLAH BLAH BLAH''

That's not ''the reality'', that's your reality and your reality is non-existent. The reality is that people (''true gamaz'') WILL, without a doubt, find that game worthy of a buy or worthy of attention after seeing a few of its screenshots. People buy bad games as people buy good games, people bought Haze, people bought Too Human. Oh and, retard, did you know that some people were actually excited over the new 50 cent game and that people actually bought it? I'm not saying that this ''Vegas'' game will be bad. But the point I'm making here is that whether it's bad or good or whether YOU think it sucks or whether YOU think it looks appealing or not or not doesn't mean that there will be nobody that will glance at the game, get horny over it and eventually buy it.

And as for, ''the reality will catch up with you soon enough!''

Just like Ps3 is catching up to the 360? Oh wait, you must've been misinformed..

You see, Sony, Ps3, they're still miles behind and will be for a very long time.

But, it's okay, you can still dream.

In ''reality''.

[Le Idiotce]

Because your logic is simply flawed and too stupid to be even remotely accurate.

Because not every game thats being released is simply Triple A merely because it happen to be "exclusive" for one console.

Those shiat games like 2 days in vegas, velvet assassin and whats more may appeal to some gamers and Im sure they are fun to play with when you have the time to absord the mechanics, but to the vast majority of gamers, they are absolute shiat.

To mention those games in the same category as KZ2 or MGS, is a pure joke of epic proportions and do nothing more but highlight how pathetic you xbots have become lately.

How pathetic indeed.
99% of the games on the 360 are multi platform. And history proves it. Mass effect, Left4dead, Fable, Bioshock, Lost Planet all are multi platform.

The other 4% arent worth looking at. Have fun playing "mega mouse on rampage" while we enjoy Killzone 2. Lmao not even worth debating, you bots have sunk to a new low and still defending your console hysterically.

[nightelfmohawk]

First of all, Lost Planet 2 is not confirmed to be exclusive for the 360. Capcom refused to confirm when asked that specifically.

Secondly, you left out the Team ICO project for PS3. :)

[Arnon]

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost & Damned - 90/100 Metacritic

Killzone 2 - 91/100 Metacritic

What does it tell you that DLC scored as high as Killzone 2?

[ps92117]

When it comes to exclusives ps3 will and has won. There is no way in foking hell MS is gona pull the games needed to compete in 09, as for 2010 lol there is one little game on the ps3 which is all they need, hint not versus or MAG or GOW3 or QT or a possible ICO no it is just the best selling ps franchise ever. 2011 and beyond lol should mean exclusives after exclusives for ps3.

I belive that if bd does overtake dvd, then ps3 will duplicate ps 1 & 2 sales and that will only mean more and more exclusives.

[fuzion17c]

Is that the exclusive you're commenting about?

[ps92117]

lol really.

what is the best selling ps2 game of all time?

[Slinger420]

I personally wish I could own Gears of War 1&2, Left4Dead along with MGS4 and Killzone 2 but I just feel like I can't rely on the 360. I owned one previously but sold it because I needed some cash and I felt like it would break soon anyway.

[Unicron]

Why is everything a battle? And how does one determine a "winner" in such a subjective situation?

Each system has great exclusives. Each gamer has different tastes. The only winner is the gamer who enjoys the games and doesn't fall for more of this media crap.

All the media keeps on doing is proving how pathetic they are.

[XDF]

Dude, can we wait for GDC and E3. Now that KZ2 is out, I expect no less than 10 articles a day saying PS3 has such better games.

Common, we know games like a New Perfect Dark, Killer Instinct, Mass Effect, Lost Planet 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, APB, Crackdown 2, Forza 3, Halo 4, Gears of War 3, Alan Wake, Lion Head 2 new projects, Bungie new projects, and many others are coming and just waiting to be comfirmed.

I own both consoles so I can care less which system has more games but in the first half of the year I will be enjoying Halo Wars, Star Ocean 4, Lost and Damned, Ninja Blade. Those are some great exclusives there.

Oh, before I get slammed, I just bought KZ2 today and it is out of this world. Be a gamer not a console hater.

[ps92117]

lol everybody knows you are a 360 fanboy, stop trying to act neutral.

[dustgavin]

B-but the avatar shows shows he is neutral! Just look at it!

Surrrre.

[Argento-Nox]

@SDF

You've been giving this spiel about being a gamer for a while now, just like other 360 fanboys who obviously see that things currently aren't in 360's favor. Starting a comment with "Sony fanboys" isn't exactly being neutral if you ask me.

Your list is full of holes as well, seeing as Splinter cell, crackdown 2, Lost Planets 2 and ME2 aren't confirmed exclusives yet. Would it even matter if all those titles were 360 exclusives? Would all those publishers be stupid to continue ignoring the growing PS3 fanbase? There will be a point where putting titles multiplatform will outweigh MS's checkbook, that's why MS is going all inane about exclusive DLC.

Mentioning projects by Lion Head and Bungie that none of us know about is completely pointless and redundant. That's like saying Sony studio's have 20 games being made. That doesn't tell me it's going to be Lair or Killzone 2 quality.

SO4 looks decent, DLC doesn't mean jack IMO, Halo wars would be better on PC and Ninja Blade looks to be a lesser Ninja Gaiden. It's funny you tell everyone to wait for 360 titles, yet wasn't that PS3's fatal flaw to begin with, you know, the Delaystation?

[xbollox]

the ps3 exclusive lineup demolishes the competition, it's not even a fight, it's a massacre

[infekt]

Totally agreed. Them 360 exclusives can remain exclusives. They are mediocre at best. I mean, seriously? Comparing GT with Forza is such an epic joke. GT5 is King, all others have been, and will always be peasants. And what is with this list of game you guys listed for the 360? I've never heard of some of these. Were they that good that they have sequels? Lol. Please. Epic jokes..

[sonysuks]

OK, then why why are you still being outsold and your exclusive sales can't match that of xbox 360 exclusive sales.

[Arnon]

Forza Motorsport has actually scored higher than most Gran Turismo games.. not to mention it was in Popular Science Magazine for being the best and most realisitic racing game ever made.

[PotNoodle]

It is the main reason i prefer my PS3, the games - sure PSN is a bit disappointing in some parts compared to live but it is the games i love.

I think microsoft have tried really hard to get the gamers on their side (With the exception of the hardware failures) - they have brought online gaming on consoles forward and seem to make sure everything is out on time - microsoft have put a whole lot of effort in this generation so i praise them for that.

However, sony's first and second party studios just do it for me - so many exclusive games from the developers that made me a "Playstation fanboy" for so many years.

[HarukoHex]

Ps3-
LBP
MGS4
KZ2
GoW3
GT5
WKC
RS2 *and 1*
Yakuza 3
Uncharted

so on.

360-
Fable 2
GeoW2
Halo 3
Froza 3
Star Ocean
Ninja Blade
Mass Effect 2

also heres a nice little boster. XD
http://boardsus.playstation...
it seemed there were some PS3 fans who really really wanted star ocean. that has to suck.

*edit* sorry i don't know alot of games on both systems, so I went ahead and added them kk. :)

[zoneofenders]

wow holy crap no resistance? no uncharted? holy crap!
and how about yakuza3?

[Darkshader]

To all the xbox 360 games that you've listed. The one that is worth buying is Star Ocean 4, Alan Wake and Mass Effect 2 for 2009/2010.

[anubis12]

i own both consoles....i say no...plus its your preference....

plus mass effect 2 is 360 only..game over...

and killzone 2 was just another shooter with pretty graphics and weird online ,but it was good...

gran turismo....where is it???? been waiting longer than too human

mgs4......4 movies and a horrible online....

socom....horrible online

.................so basically killzone , uncharted series, and god of war......FF and GT....but how long will those take?

[anubis12]

why am i pathetic ,because i own both consoles and prefer my gaming on the 360....and i have a opinion...all i hear are are ps3 fanboys crying and saying its the best console out there and screaming about games that are out next next year....

games today worth playing on ps3.....flower, uncharted, resistance, killzone....GTp and socom were a fu*king joke , and thats pretty sad for a console being out for 2 years plus being out two years and they add pointless crap like life with PlayStation and home instead on working on the psn friend issues is the stupidest thing i have ever seen.

but hey multi platforms and online play is better on the 360...

pretty much bought ps3 for blu-ray killzone uncharted god of war...thats it.......and as far as any fps halo and cod are still on top

[Obama]

The FACT is that the 360 line sucks this year in comparison to the ps3. Why does the 360 get so many crap exclusives like velvet assassin and blue dragon btw?

[dustgavin]

Because Wii and Ps3 don't want them.

[FFXI101]

We know we own the better system and we are having a great time while they own a $hitty system.

They don't really hate Sony, they hate M$ and themselves. You know why? cause they spend $299-399 to buy a system now they see PS3 is doing better everyday, they wanna jump to Sony's ship and they can't. Cause their system doesn't worth $hit when they want to trade it in or sell it on ebay(they'll get $60-90 outta of it for trade in and maybe $120-180 online)Now they are stuck with it, and they don't want to admit that they were wrong. So they take it out on people who owns PS3.

Anyway, the break time is over, back to KILLZONE 2!!

[BMS84]

Besides Alan Wake , i don't see any good exclusives coming tyo the 360 in the first 1.5 year , and FF13 Versus is a PS3 exclusive worldwide , not Japan only. FF13 will be released in Japan only for a copuple of months and than the 360 version follows.

[anubis12]

ill have to start another account soon :) .....for stating my opinions....hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps Microsoft has titles hiding in the dark , if you think that the 360 will have no exclusives this year lol you are horribly wrong.

BELOW

buggy online games - like psn
poor game engines instead of to the metal engines - because killzone???
scratched discs -- REALLY LOL AHHAHA mabey you should take care of your games........

i work a gamestop part time and do you know how many morons come in with FUC*ed up ps3 games.....ALOT dont think that the disc are perfect........

ps give your ps3 a hug for me

[ApocalypseShadow]

the reason gamers **BUY** certain consoles is because of exclusive games you can't play anywhere else.you BUY nintendo hardware to play nintendo games.you don't buy nintendo hardware to play ubisoft,activision,midway or any other third parties games.it helps that they are there,but i won't miss most of them if they are not top quality.

did anyone buy dreamcast for hudson games?did you buy it for trearch?h#ll no.you bought it for jet grind radio.you bought it for shenmue.you bought it for skies of arcadia.and you knew that you could not play those games anywhere else.including **PC**

sony investing in themselves was a win for sony fans and ps3.360 fans had a good laugh as we all waited for the exclusives.but who's laughing now?ps3 fans now have the top rated games on their system.the awards are not going to 360 games anymore.mgs4 won.little big planet won.uncharted won.motorstorm won.

psn downloads like flower are winning.castle crashers might have been fun.but where are the awards?waiting for top shelf quality and exclusives has paid off.and continues to pay off.killzone2 is winning not just on graphics,but physics,particle effects,animation,objects onscreen,etc.fans of ps3 told the haters that ps3 will eventually cath up because of sony's hard work.

ps3 gamers are now waiting for uncharted 2.they are waiting for heavy rain.they are waiting for GT5.they are waiting for mlb09.while all the other products are talked about and put to pasture like wii fit,mario galaxy,forza2,ninja gaiden 2,sony's games are talked about continously because they are of higher caliber.

having third parties is fine.but look at what has happened to most of them.i loved DMC.but not having hideki kamiya making dmc4 meant i wasn't willing to buy it.not having shinji makimi making resident evil 5 means i won't be buying the game.and the demo was poor.and the game has lost all horror all together.

even gta4 without good dev time and one of the creators of gta who went on to make crackdown just made gta4 shallow compared to what you could do in san andreas.i hope 360 fans now understand that having the most games doesn't mean you are getting the **HIGHEST QUALITY** you could have gotten from the devs that are exclusive to 360.especially when i can play **BETTER** versions of 360 games on PC.

doesn't mean your games aren't fun.but microsoft is not giving you the best if the best is being released for another platform.when gears came out on PC,PC gamers got more.when they got any once 360 exclusive on PC,they got more.and it wasn't just graphics.

now that you 360 fans have to wait for alan wake,halo3 expansion,forza3,etc,you should push and expect microsoft to give you the best they can give you.but going by what they have already given you,which is RROD,buggy online games,poor game engines instead of to the metal engines,scratched discs,etc.it's highly unlikey.

nintendo fans expect top shelf from nintendo themselves.sony fans expect top shelf from sony because sony is pushing hard.not like untold legend days.we're talking **genre defining games**but i'm wondering if 360 fans truely expect top shelf exclusives?or are they just satisfied with halo and gears sales,attachment rates and useless numbers?because microsoft has invested in marketing,hype and the closing of it's dev doors than the best you could have gotten.

apocalypse............

[dustgavin]

Well said! Bubbles for the wise person.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

100% correct

[labwarrior]

Since it gets 10x the exlcusive RPGs than PS3

[dustgavin]

360 has nothing on Alan Wake. It was running on a PC for that footage.

[labwarrior]

That is 100% confirmed too, check google for more, information is a powerfull thing

[devilhunterx]

lol hey its the fable 2 fanboy from GT.

[free3sixty]

SOny always had more exclusives but this doesnt change the fact, that they lost the BIGGEST ones. This also doesnt change the fact that their exclusives sell like dogsh!t.

[Magic_The_Celt]

Hell Yes

Killzone 2 is the best FPS i have ever played in my life, i own Halo 3 too on the 360 but that looks like a 6/10 PS2 game compared to killzone 2 holy sh*t.. and im not just talking about graphics

MGS4 is THE best game i have ever played, period.

LittleBigPlanet is the most innovative game this gen and has the highest review score for an exlusive this gen

Uncharted drakes fortune is one of my favorite games and pushed the bounderies of graphical limits and body animation, Uncharted 2 is set to do the same

Wow.. i mean i have a few 360 favorites, Gears 2, Fable II, but 360 exlusives are NOTHING compared to the almighty PS3 library.

Dream on microsoft, you cant win.

[Arnon]

How long did it take you to come up with a list of good things for those games? rofl.

Killzone 2 the best FPS? Not really. And I guarantee you that you would say it was a piece of sh*t if it was a 360 exclusive. Nothing about this game is "amazing". Except for graphics.. And even then, it's only the lighting that looks nice. Anyone with an unbiased mindset would tell you that the textures on this game are absolute sh*t.

Little Big Planet - Fun as hell.. Creating worlds is a pain in the ass and has a bunch of bugs in it. I've had to delete 3 of my worlds before because of them.

Uncharted - Amazing graphics. Clunky Controls. 7 hour story. No replayability. No multiplayer. $59.95.

This is coming from someone who is even investing more time into his PS3 than his 360.

[Leio]

Won??? Its a luxury for Microsoft and Ninendo they barely out up a fight lol..

[Sin-CityGamer]

If you have articles stating "MGS4 might come to the 360" or "KZ2 is also possible on Microsoft's console" or maybe other hate news about PS3's capability to produce quality exclusives... then yea... you get my point... envy and jealousy go hand in hand... since other 'consoles' want our exclusives...

[Belasco]

Envy and jealousy are the same thing.

[Ko_Uraki]

The exclusive battle maybe, but still not the exclusive war ;)

[00000000000000000001]

The way most of you figure exclusive is a joke! If you can't play it on a PS3, then for me it's a 360 exclusive. I buy more games for my 360 than my PS3 so, NO!

[farhad2k8]

Deifenetly, I don't see many exclusives coming for 360 which will make me pull out the old elite from under my bed.
Even lost planet 2 might become multi-plat?
Sony have like over 5 AAA games coming out including M.A.G which I think will be the only game to stand a chance against KZ2's multiplayer IMO.

[mynd]

Check back in 6 months and tells us if the urge to get the elite out has came back (hint, it will have).

[XLiveGamer]

25- Farhad2k8 - "Sony have like over 5 AAA games coming out including M.A.G which I think will be the only game to stand a chance against KZ2's multiplayer IMO"

ok its your opinion but comparing that to the knowledge i have... lol against Killzone lol

If that happen then ARMA 2 & OF2 eat both alive lol!

[whatis]

The following is a list of all of the games that have been released so far this gen, that I think are worthy of mentioning.

In other words, the games that I am interested in (not counting multi-plats or handhelds).

Halo 3
Halo Wars
Gears of War 2
Forza Motorsport 2
Fable 2
Braid

vs.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Metal Gear Solid IV: Guns of the Patriots
Wipeout HD
Littlebigplanet
Killzone 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Valkyria Chronicles
Pixeljunk Monsters
Flower
Gran Turismo 5: Prologue

vs.

Mario Party 8
Super Mario Galaxy
Metroid Prime 3

vs.

Crysis: Warhead

So if it were up to me, I would have to give the award to the PS3 when it comes to the amount of good exclusives games at the moment.

From what I've heard about each platforms upcoming lineup though, it looks like it the PS3 will probably be remaining in front from here on out too.

[Energy-HL]

This topic has turned into a ps3 vs 360 war again. As i am aware wii has exclusives as well?
PC anyone? Even this topic post in psextreme has not touched on any other exlusives besides ps3 and 360.

Also let me just remind every one that a game on 360 as well as PC is not an 360 exclusive.

"The way most of you figure exclusive is a joke! If you can't play it on a PS3, then for me it's a 360 exclusive. I buy more games for my 360 than my PS3 so, NO!"

If your gonna play it like that look at all the ps2 games that are exclusive that can be played on ps3. Does that mean its an ps3 exlusive? erm no...

[Snatcher]

If you like Halo, Gears Of War, go for the 360.

If you like MGS4, Littlebigplanet, Killzone 2, go for the PS3.

If you like a game machine that sucks and lacks games, go for the Wii.

[XLiveGamer]

on PS3:
None because i dont own a PS3 right but for now i have my eyes on Ninja Gaiden Zigma & Grand Turismo 5.

on X360:
Bioshock(Multi)
Fable 2 (xclus)
MASS EFFECT (xclus) FAVORITE
Gears of War 1 & 2 (xclus)-I don't like the reg. multiplayer but i like Horde
NINJA GAIDEN 2 (xclus) FAVORITE GAME SERIES SINCE NES
Mirrors Edge (Multi) I love it
Halo 3 (xclus)
Lost Odyssey (xclus) Awesome RPG title
Blue Dragon (xclus) Great Title
Lost Planet (Multi)
Dead or Alive 4 (xclus) Love this series since the beginning
Street Fighter 4 (Multi) Love this series since the 1st arcade
Splinter Cell: Double Agent (Multi)
Forza 2 (xclus)
Ace Combat 6 (xclus) I like the series since the beginning

So which PS3 exclusive have made me buy a PS3 now? I don't buy a console just for 1 game.

Do i like God of War, MGS, Killzone etc. ? No its all about preference. I am not one of those that buy something because the majority of the world its buying it.

To the PS3 fans: I am also an owner of a PSOne and PS2 and that i have been gaming since the days of Atari. Most of this PS3 fans are just kids that never played the good old consoles and they don't realize that the games that have made PS3 what it is today are multiplatform since the early days

I am gaming since my dad console ATARI

[Belasco]

and it may seem a bit insane, but I loathe sony fanboys. Ever since the Ps2. I just cant put a finger on any one thing. Maybe its the lists of games they post in hopes of converting someone, like a desperate Jehovas Witness or something. Or perhaps that they abbreviate Microsoft as M$. Theres also the hippocracy of touting the "power" of the Ps3, and that it makes 360 games look like Wii titles, when last gen they were all games>graphics when the Xbox was clearly better.
I come to this site often, and over the months it truly has become a tribe of Sony trolls all agreeing with eachother ganging up on users like Why Dis. This is not PSXextreme, folks. Its truly sad that I have let the Sony fans taint the brand for me forever.

[thewhoopimen]

well... the same finger can be pointed anywhere Belasco. Look at PC heads, mac heads, xbots, wiiers, whatever. You can always elect to use your head instead of your heart.

That being said, you shouldn't be defending Why Dis, this guy has been a flaming xbot troll and has been making incredulous statements ever since I joined. he has absolutely no credibility whatsoever in the statement that he's made. I find him just as bad or worse then fanatic ps3 fanboys. It isn't his first account and won't be his last.

[Argento-Nox]

@Belasco

You obviously weren't here when the hordes of 360 fanboys were complaining about 360 ports to PS3, the whole Halo and GeOW fiasco every time it comes out, the 360 exclusives, PS3 games going multi-platform and the delaystation comments. Quite frankly, I've seen fanboys on all sides being stupid/redundant/idiots etc. I don't think it's fair to single out only Sony fanboys.

[tonywood24]

I'm a Playstaion 3 fan, but lets keep this in perspective. Although I believe that that PS3 has a better exclusive line up, the Xbox 360 is "smashing" right now. (Gears 1&2, Halo 3, GTA DLC, Fable 2, and Star Ocean are selling like hotcakes.)

Now, I am quite sure that LBP, MGS4, Drakes, and Killzon2 will do a lot better....when the PS3 price comes down. (LBP is outstanding and will fly off shelves once the $299 PS3 comes out) I know that sale numbers don't make up the quality games, however...we should table this argument until the Spring/Summer.

[princejb134]

your super wrong

"Funny thing to me is how ps3fanboy try to make every signle ps3 exclusive game out to be a AAA game and one of the greatest games ever made even if the game is only midcore or out right bad."

your assuming every single ps3 fanboy thinks ps3 exclusive a AAA, well i prefer the ps3 far more than the xb360, so i guess that makes me a fanboy rite, i assumed Haze was gonna be a flop, gt5 prologue was a flop, lair a flop, socom flop
oh and guess what i think heavy rain is gonna fail also

your trying to talk for everyone out there but you can't,
yes xb360 has a fair amount of great games out there, but those are titles that dont interest me at all, except for gears

[ps3_pwns]

x360 games are the same as the original xbox type of games. Why didnt you all buy the original xbox? you guys bought the ps2 instead and loved it. now all of a sudden you guys try to downplay what you love because you couldn't get the system. x360 only plays pc port games and that is all. a pc and ps3 is all u need. if you look at x360 line up it goes zombies, zombies, space shooter, zombies, space shooter, rpg shooter, shooter, and mediocre rpgs. ps2 rpg persona 4 whooped all there butts. valkyria chonicles for ps3 did as well and dont try to get all technical because then mass effect and fall out are shooters and not rpgs then.

[IncredibleGames]

Sony May have a slight...very slight edge when it comes to exclusives, But a lot of those games will never find the light of day in a lot of peoples hands, mostly because the PS3 is priced at such a high price.

The PS3 is winning the exclusive battle, but they are losing the console war and unfortunately I don't think they will ever catch up.

[ismoketoomuch]

They will catch up.

In a couple of months there will be like around 10 absoultely must have titles to buy the system for. I'm positive there'll also be a price cut eventually and this together with exclusive titles will keep the system selling more and more over the next years.

I can't see the future that bright for x360.

[FFXI101]

I don't agree with you there, lots people keep saying 360 has bigger fan base and more people buying 360 than PS3, but consider PS3 came out year after 360 with the high price tag, it still sells well.

I don't know the number of 360(I'm sure is probably some where around 25-28mil unit sold) but PS3 is some where between 18-22mil or maybe more, and yet you said: "But a lot of those games will never find the light of day in a lot of peoples hands, mostly because the PS3 is priced at such a high price."

Now with the price cut on the way and with the great line up this year, Sony PS3 will only do better than last year and the gap between 360 PS3 is closer than you think.

[James Vanderbeek]

lbp, mgs4, uncharted, and killzone 2 whipe the floor with any 360 exclusive.

than add in god of war 3 and gran turismo and you have a knock out punch.. left hook upper cut.. KO biatches..

360 had its hay day.. thats when it was the only next gen console on the market. its sony's time now. i cant even think of one good game ms will release this year.. can you???? no multi plats.. ninja blade.. lol

[teto83]

"I was not even close"

xbox 360 a.k.a. one trick pony

[Cajun Chicken]

I think it has, personally. Nearly all my fav first party devs on the PS3 are either releasing or announcing a game on the system and all all a close knit network with engines and technology meaning we will get better and better games because of the shared technology and advice.

Unless MS has something really good this year its the PS3's year in video games, because ND, Insomniac, Santa Monica and third party developers willing to be published have games out over the next year, these developers have never let down in my view and have an established reputation.
That online charge for exclusive multiplayer games on XBL isn't looking so good now, so better get some great SP games and start sharing that technology so all games could have the same level of quality MS, DLC isn't your savior as you think it is.

[Rhezin]

If they got to know some of the repulsive and idiotic xbox owners on this site like Why Piss, Keele, sony sucks, and sony slave. I swear every time I see one of them post the most DUMBEST SH!T it makes me want to PUNCH their faces in.

[nothere413]

Just play the games...

[Allowen]

I think to garantee that Sony will have better chances to win an exclusive battle against Microsoft( like sell a game as much as Halo 3 did) they need to make a killer game like KZ2 that has a cooperative mode in split screen and online.

Just see the inc next uber game from Sony that will arrive for the ps3, uNCHARTED 2, NO doubt it will be amasing fun but it will not have a cooperative mode and that is really bad if you ask me.

I don't have an xbox360 but I can say that what helped a game such Gears of War to be a huge success if that the game do have a coop mode for the single game campaign.

So only then when Sony finnaly launchs an exclusive game with a real descent coop mod game( not Resistance 2 because the coop split screen and online sucks soo much, was a joke) that it will really start selling more games then the exclusives from the xbox360.

[NMC2007]

It's like I died and went straight to hell, I didn't get to pass go, hell, I didn't even go to jail, they just dropped me here, in hell aka N4PS3G.

Everytime I read the comment section of a popular subject, I take a Tylenol beforehand because I know it will be headache inducing content inside.

[Ven1000]

You seriously think 360 has better racing games? Puhlease. You bring up Forza 2. Gran Turismo 4 is a better racing game than Forza 2. You talk about Forza's tracks. It has a few tracks with a whole heap of configurations, so your track count goes down in my book. Even though GT4 has different configurations as well, it still has way more tracks. As far as graphics, F2 will have the edge but GT4 can also be played in HD 1080 mode if you have the PS2 component cables. When it all bowls down, GT4 had tons way more replay value than F2 had.

And then you bring up weak racing games like Project Gotham? Puhlease. Those games are forgettable. Hell, they even package PGR4 in Xbox Live renewal packs. My roommate brought back PGR4 when he renewed his XBL and I didn't even know there was a PGR4 because as I said, that game/series is forgettable. If you have to keep bouncing from racing game to racing game, it's clear they can't hold your interest for long.

Don't even bother try to compare anything to Gran Turismo 5. It will completely annihilate anything 360 racing has to offer. Yes, even your Forza 3 which nothing has been said about. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue STILL holds my interest more than those weak games you mentioned. You talk about GT5 still has months and months to release. You wanna know why take that long (and I call your "at least 18 months away" BS because no such word has been given)? It's because they CAN. Fans know how damn good GT series as a whole is, so there's no need to rush. It's such a good game they can wait years for it, unlike the Project Gothams where they turn them out like hotcakes. Forza and Forza 2 were two years apart and if F3 comes out this year, that's another 2 years. GT3 and GT4 were 4 years apart. GT5 will be 4 or 5 years depending if it comes out in 09 or not, and that's just fine with fans because they know GT delivers in an epic way.

Don't bother talking about Burnout games. I like how you went back to Burnout Revenge because it's on 360 and PS2 not PS3. Weaksauce. People play Burnout Paradise nowadays and it's on both, so don't try to select one out of the crop just so it suits your argument better (rolls eyes).

The fact of the matter is, GT series as a whole blows everything else away.

[ThatOneGuyThere]

ill take the 750+ cars and 50 tracks in GT4 any day. And the fact that he has to use GT Preview to compare to a list of 5 games says enough right there. lol.

[Snatcher]

Games that are exclusive: Halo 3, Fable 2, Gears of War 1 & 2, Forza MotorSport 2 & 3, Project Gotham Racing 3 & 4, Ninja Gaiden 2, Perfect Dark Zero, Naruto: Broken Bond, Dead Rising, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Crackdown, Viva Pinata, Halo Wars, Halo: Recon, Alan Wake and Dead Or Alive 4.

Games that are not on PS3, but 360 and PC: Mass Effect, Condemned 1, Left4Dead, Call of Duty 2, Ghost Recon Warfighter, Prey and Rainbow Six Vegas.

Arcade games: Braid, Geometry Wars 1 & 2, Portal: Still Alive, Rez HD, Castlevania: Symphony of the night, Soul Calibur, Doom, Ikaruga and Castle Crashers.

+ all the multiplatforms and DLC.
The Xbox 360 has games.

[princejb134]

ps3 does have rainbow six vegas

[N0-BULLSH1T]

Why does anyone think Microsoft has anything on the giant Sony.

Any game exclusively made for the PS3 is revolutionary, it cripples anything else.

[NateNater]

Sony won the exclusive battle back with its PS2. I believe, if it hasn't already taken the title for this gen, that PS3 is headed in the same direction.

[MrJack]

and it may seem a bit insane, but I loathe Xbox fanboys. I wasn't online last generation so I wasn't a PS2 fanboy, but when I got my PS3 I started visiting gaming sites, and the first thing I noticed, and notice to this day, is the amount of rubbish they talk, all I heard was rumors and lies "PS3 has no games" they screamed "PS3 is selling badly" and all that rubbish. Their hypocrisy in saying that PS3 has no games, and when PS3 has better line up they deny it, and flame whenever a PS3 game gets below 9/10, then claiming that Sales = Quality, and unless a PS3 exclusive sells 3 million copies its a "mega flopzorz"

Then they think that games like Gears and Halo are the best games of all time, some even believe that Gears even invented the cover system, despite many games using it years before, and dismiss Uncharted's more fluid and just better cover system and AI, some even saying they ripped off Gears, despite it only being released only 10 days later.

And when I mention PSN, they almost scoff at it,I don't blame them, Microsof'ts propaganda dept has done a good job with brainwashing them into believing it is a crappy, laggy service that "nobody plays" despite it having 3 million more users, and many games using actual dedicated service, something that wasn't even used for Gears 2.

Then they all gang up and rally behind behind their leaders, most of whom post nonsensical drivel and half truths to cover up the Xbox 360's failings.

It is a shame, I used to see gaming as an innocent past time, but theie paranoia and neurosis has left it feeling tainted to me.

[ThatOneGuyThere]

exactly what i was thinking..

[Cheeky Gamer]

The N4G community showcases its PS3 bias once again.

Bravo people, bravo.

[MrJack]

Four xbox fanboys disagreed with me, within a minute of posting, you see they proved my point, they are so paranoid about KZ2, about its graphical and gameplay excellence, and about how well it is doing, that they have to come on to the PS3 boards, with the sole intention to flame anyone who has the courage to say anything anti 360, in a futile attempt to keep up the Xbox brainwashing, and try to hide the dissapointment that they feel deep down that they didn't wait the extra year and get the PS3 instead.

Of course, there are few Xbox fanboys that won't just phantom disagree, but will have the courage to speak out, Why Dis and Omega4 for example, I respect them more that the phantom disagreers, as while what they say may be rubbish, at least they have the courage to say it.

[GarandShooter]

'as while what they say may be rubbish, at least they have the courage to say it.'

Do you really believe an anonymous internet reply shows courage?

[Premonition]

I think what it comes down to is, sony will have their 1st party titles to keep them going in the end since thats what is proving their system to be pretty great and to show consumers what it can do. And since sony has pretty much a good amount of studios to develop their first party games, there shouldnt be any problems for PS3 owners.

[Meryl]

from my point of view there is simply no contest the ps3 has has the most quality exclusives this year, but as for hardware sales well lets just say it's still third, although not for long tho hehehehe, i give the xbox360 another year max , come the end of this year we are gonna see alot of ps2 users jump to one of the consoles, and that in the end will decide who get's second place, in my opinion ps3 deserves it as it is the better quality product afterall.
the tides are starting to turn on the wii gimmick trend in japan so lets all hope this continues and stirs up a heated contest between all three consoles

[ps92117]

soxfan.
don't you f###ing compare racing games to GT, what you are doing there is way beyond f###ing blind, you are being a dumba## ignorant hypocrite. I don't give a sh!t if you compare halo or GeOW2 with kz2, compare ps3 with 360, compare bd to dvd, you can compare christians to muslims, but when you f###ing compare GT to any other racing game you are crossing the god damn f###ing line, you are insulting GT as a series, you are spitting in GT loyalist faces.

don't you fing dare compare anything to GT, I can't tell you how mad I am after reading your comment, If we were talking face to face you would be in the floor struggling to survive after having said what you said.

"don't you f###ing compare racing games to GT, what you are doing there is way beyond f###ing blind, you are being a dumba## ignorant hypocrite"

Sorry but the ignorant is you

I like Gran Turismo series but there its no way GT (with out counting 5 because we dont know info about it) its better than Forza 1 & 2. I really love GT but also Forza but even those two games can't touch "Live for Speed" (Online Racing Simulator).

For me next gen its not about Graphics only its also about the most important thing in the game realism & simulation when you put that in a game then you put real challenge to the gameplay.

[mistajeff]

If a game comes out on a console AND pc, it's not exclusive to anything. Not trying to take sides here, but if a PS3 owner also has a PC, they have access to most of the games that the 360 has and the PS3 does not (a crappy port of Gears of War 1, Left 4 Dead, an AMAZING port of Mass Effect, and Bioshock at first). What I have to give PS3 credit for over the 360 is that you can ONLY get their best exclusives on the PS3.
Now, obviously it makes sense for Microsoft to want 360 games on Windows too, since it's more money for them. I just feel the PS3 has more true exclusives. And it's not like the 360 doesn't have any games that you can't get anywhere else, there's stuff like Halo 3 and Fable 2 and rumor has it that Gears 2 won't be getting a PC port. Let's not forget about PC in all of this as it provides an alternate way for people to buy certain games without buying a whole console. I know we all like to declare things CONSOLE exclusive or whatever, but just keep in mind that games like Left 4 Dead, the Agency, Prey, DC Universe Online, Mass Effect, Gears 1, Velvet Assassin, Huxley, and Alan Wake are not exclusives. Though, I guess you could say Alan Wake is a Microsoft Exclusive since I think Remedy's going through Microsoft Games Studios. Irregardless (regardless!), yeah.. just throwin that out there.

Also a million internet points to whoever gets my irregardless reference.

[Major_Tom]

While Sony is having a really good couple years with Exclusives, it's by no means done yet. This generation of consoles isn't even over yet.

[sarshelyam]

...and even I wouldn't be foolish to place Microsoft's First Party (and/or Exclusive) releases up against Sony's. There is something to be said for a lineup that includes such legacies as Ratchet & Clank (8 titles in the franchise and growing), Jak & Daxter (5 titles in the franchise and growing), God of War, Killzone, Resistance...man, they'd have a healthy lineup even if they trimmed some of those out.

When I look at my 360 collection of some 100 games and growing, I can pick out plenty of fun games, none of which are First Party OR Exclusive with the exception of Fable and Gears, possibly Mass Effect if it remains exclusive (though I doubt it). Everything else I have and enjoy on the system is Multi-console so it would be difficult to credit Microsoft with those games.

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

@GEC, you were owned last year so just shut the hell up!, personally i think the next R&C game owns the entire 360 lineup, i say this because the PS3 has games worth playing for years where as the 360 has games worth playing for just a few months

[-PINNER-]

I own a PS3 and I agree that Sony has, and has always had, the best exclusives from generation to generation. But to write this comparison and not bother listing the top 360 exclusives is lazy and unacceptable. You can't mention Flower as an exclusive and leave out Braid, how can you leave out Halo, how about Mass Effect, Fable, Forza, or PGR. Games like Blue Dragon, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Left 4 Dead. Now I've never owend an xbox or played any of those games, but I still know about them. And those are just off the top of my head. So please put a little effort into your stories if you expect anyone to think you're credible.

[sarshelyam]

...as someone pointed out, many of the exclusives you find on the 360 really aren't exclusive to the 360 Hardware at all, some can be found on the PC and are, for all intents and purposes, independent of one another.

Flower is indeed an exclusive that can only be found on the PlayStation 3's PSN. Braid can certainly be found on the XBL Marketplace, but it can also be purchased for the PC as well...much like Halo, Left 4 Dead, etc.

I think the overall goal of the article is that Sony isn't in the PC business so their in-house titles are truly exclusive for their platforms and nothing else. I'm not defending his stance, but I can surely agree with that perspective.

MS has a year over sony yet they half have the amount of quality exclusives whats up with that.

if anyone can name another i will be happy, and i mean great sellers or high rated.

sony also has the largest line-up, while yes MS is getting alot of multiplats that were ex sony exclusives they aren't justifying they can make as many good games. sony still gets exclusive final fantasy versus tho they lost ff13, lose some gain some, its a fact

and Pllllllllllleeeease if anyones gonna disagree then Pleeease back up your reason

[Cameron_aka_Cam]

Really as a Sony fan, I believe that the PS3 has a more varied line up of games to be excited for. Sony is quite skilled ,as shown by it's previous console, at providing a line up that is different. Games such as MGS4 and Ratchet make the line up exciting. My only problem with the 360 is that it seems to provide only a certain type of game and then tries to offer different types of games that don't quite live up. Still I love both consoles and enjoy seeing the competition between the two.

[Ven1000]

Can you honestly sit there and try to say that Forza 1 and 2 are better than the GT series? Seriously.... Get real.

Tracks - comparo

Not even close. GT series blows Forza series out of the water. Maybe this time Forza 3 can actually include the Circuit De La Sarthe this time. Ever heard of that before (rolls eyes). I don't need to go into this further

Cars - comparo

Again, not even close. There's just too many damn reasons why GT series blows this one out of the park

Graphics -

Forza 2 will edge out GT4 with graphics but not GT5 Prologue. So pre GT5P Forza can take that, but we're comparing 360 to PS2 at that point.

Simulation -

Both offer great simulation engines. I liked certain things better in both. Now that GT5P is back out, I don't play Forza 2 anymore. And don't even bother trying to call GT5P a glorified demo.

Replay value

GT series wins this one buy eleventy billion.
