AAG Feature: Can 360 Exclusives combat Value of PS3 Slim

With all the talk about the PS3 Slim and the Xbox 360's price drop, All Age Gaming takes a look at the value of money of the consoles now and whether the 360 has the quality exclusives it needs to stop potential console buyers swaying towards the PS3.

[Tinted Eyes]

Definitely not.The actual exclusives on xbox is a very small list.

But the games they call "console exclusives" A.K.A not on ps3 might be............................ .Probably not though. :)

[ATY]

Microsoft is in the same position they were last gen with the Xbox and exclusive games. They only have three first party studios. Almost everything else are PC ports trying to be passed off as exclusives.

Now with the outdated Xbox 360 hardware anyone with even an average computer with a 100 dollar graphics card can play better versions of games Microsoft continues to try to call 'exclusives'. Higher resolution, better framerate, better graphics compared to the Xbox 360 versions.

The disparity between Sony or Nintendo and Microsoft in exclusive first party developers is staggering.

Sony has about 20
Nintendo has about 10
and Microsoft has only 3. And they've been closing them down at a fairly consistent rate over the past few years.

That's three times the exclusive content for Nintendo.
Over six times the exclusive content for Sony.

And to compound that both Sony and Nintendo have the total support for Japan for a huge amount of exclusive games.

[coolirisGB]

Forza 3
Left 4 Dead 2
Halo odst
Ninety-Nine Nights II
Crackdown 2
Splinter Cell
Alan Wake
Halo Reach
Mass Effect 2

Will keep me busy for exclusives I'm sure the games that are revealed at games shows will hurt my pocket even more.

Games on PS3 are GOW3 and? well I can't think of anything else maybe Uncharted 2 of 2009 .

[ATY]

Left 4 Dead 2 - has a PC version with better graphics - don't need to waste money on a 360 to play it

Splinter Cell - has a PC version with better graphics - don't need to waste money on a 360 to play it

Mass Effect 2 - has a PC version with better graphics - don't need to waste money on a 360 to play it

Alan Wake - will have a PC version with better graphics - don't need to waste money on a 360 to play it

So, yeah Halo and Forza. Again. Just like last gen.

[Tinted Eyes]

Sorry people the title is called xbox 360 exclusives, no multiplats.

[FlipMode]

LOL @ cool listing multiplats to beef up the list

And I love how he lists games like 99nights but doesnt list a game like ratchet and clank or demon souls for ps3. ;)

[josuttis]

"The actual exclusives on xbox is a very small list"

One just has to look at Microsoft's actions over the past couple of years to see that they have given up trying to compete with Sony:

1. They've closed down about 5 first party studios

2. They've let long time Microsoft third party exclusive studios go off to be bought out by big multiplatform publishers, instead of buying them or doing what it takes to retain them as exclusive developers

3. They've made it clear there isn't going to be new Xbox hardware

4. They've jumped on the motion control bandwagon finally

Those are not the actions of a company that has any intention of trying to compete with Sony. Everything they've done in the recent years makes it obvious they are throwing in the towel on the traditional console market and leaving it to Sony and instead now going after Nintendo and the Wii.

The insane disparity in the quality and amount of hardware Sony is able to manufacture and sell at 299 compared to how much less Microsoft has to offer for the same price makes is obvious that after eight years of trying to compete with Sony, Microsoft has realized that it is pointless. They don't have the console design and manufacturing skills necessary. Paying for a giant first party lineup of developers when they don't see a future for themselves in the console market is something Microsoft clearly recognized a few years ago.

Perhaps Microsoft will start to buy small casual mini-game type developers for their EyeToy style motion control stuff. Or they may just be using the motion control stuff to try to give the 360 an extra year or so of sales before pulling out of the console market.

[pcn88]

^ agree, good thoughtful comment

[deadreckoning666]

Depends on the person's personal preference. If the person likes Halo and L4D, he/she ill buy an Xbox. If the person prefers Uncharted or Killzone then he/she ill get a PS3. Not very difficult if ya ask me.

@Saaking- Why are u preaching about everythg the PS3 is capable of? Like we don't know already. We're talking about exclusive games.

[JonnyBigBoss]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who understands that they aren't truly "exclusive". Everyone seems to think gaming PCs are expensive or insurmountable amounts of work, but it's the exact opposite. Mine's less than $325, has more power than a 360 and can do a lot more. It is also more reliable and requires no yearly fees.

[lowcarb]

Exclusives or not these are still console exclusives where talking about. I don't get where all this doom and gloom 360 nonsense is coming from since the mention of ps3 slim. 360 still offers more games as well as software and services only growing stronger into next year. Every body is entitled to their own opinion but attacking people that prefer 360 is just plain stupid. You guys better hope NPD shows PS3 ahead for a few months because if not we will be back to square 1 of your little desperate over hyping ps3 junk. Every two months a few ps3 multi account users get on n4g since it's free like craigs list and try to build up this hype only to be shut down again and again. Lets just wait and see what happens rather then running around talking so much mess.

[Sarcasm]

"Mine's less than $325, has more power than a 360 and can do a lot more. It is also more reliable and requires no yearly fees. "

I don't know about that. My "old" 8800GTS was already $250 when I bought it.

But yeah, TECHNICALLY anything on the PC is multiplatform. That includes PS3 games like DC Universe, The Agency, Free Realms etc. cause it's also on the PC.

True exclusives is Uncharted 2, Gran Turismo, God of War III etc. etc. where you cannot and will not be able to play those games anywhere else except the PS3.

[Cyrax_87]

Nice lowcarb, it's good to see a true gamer like you every now and then, hyping sales and worshipping NPD instead of games. We need more people like you here.

[lowcarb]

Thats a dumb comment. Quit whining and grow up already. NPD will give us a closer look at whats really going on rather than sitting here reading these silly childish comments. If any of you were gamers you would quickly see that 360 and it's games go toe to toe with what Sony has to offer even out stripping them in quality and quantity.

edit below flame: Quit switching account silly old man. You cyrax and probably the rest of you are nothing more than multiple accont low lifes that sit here every day trying to prove nothing. Your argument is weak and agreeing with yourself doesn't make it any stronger. The only sad thing here is the fact that I'm siting here wasting my time responding or commenting on this sad site for gaming news with no moderation.

[Christopher]

While Microsoft doesn't have the quantity of exclusives, and it's up to opinion on quality, it does have a few solid gems that sell extremely well.

Halo 3 sales are better than any PS3 game alone. PS3's best selling exclusive isn't the best selling game on the system, Metal Gear Solid 4. Infamous, the most recent exclusive, still hasn't sold more than a million after months of opportunity by others.

The biggest market for sales is in the U.S. and Microsoft's exclusives sell very well there.

Perhaps things will change with an possible increase in PS3 sales from now till the end of the year (honestly, people, please by PS3 exclusives, it's sad those so few have played most of them), but right now Microsoft has no issue churning out games that millions of people will buy.

Oh, and @coolirisGB: Really? You're going to list mostly PC-available games, Ninetynine Nights 2, and Halo 3.5 as support for the 360 and then only bring up God of War? That's the oldest and lamest way to try and put down the PS3, which has been pumping out more exclusives in the last year and has more planned for release in the next year as well. And, it's not like you could honestly overlook Uncharted 2, could you? I mean, how many 'Game of [Event]' awards does it need to win before people actually recognize it as a game that should be celebrated and their developers should be shown the gratitude for putting a quality game out at such a level, regardless of the platform it's on.

[FlameBaitGod]

@cgoodno u sure about infamous sales ? http://www.thesimexchange.c...

[josuttis]

cgoodno is most likely getting his 'sales numbers' from that joke vgchartz fake sales numbers site.

[Poopface the 2nd]

I will buy any game on 360 or ps3 that interest me. If one console doesnt do the trick then I think both will.

[coolirisGB]

The only thing left for PS3 this year is uncharted 2. The only thing that interests me in 2010 on PS3 is GOW 3 do you guys understand?

LOL why do fanboys make a big deal out of games being on both Microsoft's platforms? lol They're not on PS3 and the 360 doesn't compete with Games For Windows(PC) lpol.

[TheBand1t]

Uncharted 2.

Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time.

Demon's Souls.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.

I believe this month we've gotten an expansion to Wipeout HD, Fury.

Earlier this year, we had Killzone 2, MLB '09 The Show and inFamous. How is Ninja Blade and Halo Wars treating you?

Next year is God of War 3, White Knight Chronicles, Gran Turismo 5 (if it does not release this year), Resistance 3 (if you follow Insomniac's release scheduling.), M.A.G, and Heavy Rain.

lol don't even try and think Uncharted 2 is the only thing we've got this holiday season, Why Dis. Just don't.

[coolirisGB]

@1.6

I would have added "arcade games" in my list I see you need them to fluff up the PS3 list, even though my list had games coming soon and later on lol. I see you posted some PS3 games that released in 2009 already that have flopped.

[Pistolero]

The argument that because a game is on the 360 as well as the PC it isn't an exclusive in the battle between the 360 and the PS3 is the stupidest, lamest argument ever. The battle is between the PS3 and 360...most people who game on consoles have no interest in the PC....of course there is some overlap...just like there is with the Wii...but for the most part the Wii and the PC are different markets.

You ps3 fans are truly delusional....nobody else thinks like you...none of the game magazines agree with you....they understand full well the importance of console exclusives. All most gamers care about is "what games can I play on the PS3 that I can't play on the 360" or "what games on the 360 can I play that I can't play on the PS3". The 360 has more than enough games to go head to head with the PS3....in fact, the PS3 still has a much smaller library of games than the 360...people don't just stop caring about games a month after they come out...people care about the whole library of games that they can pick from. I have both consoles and there are games for both consoles that I plan to get next year....the 360 has a very strong 2010 lineup and that is only considering the games that have been announced so far.

[ATY]

"The argument that because a game is on the 360 as well as the PC"

LOL!

Yes, the fact that anyone with a PC can play better versions of almost everything on the Xbox 360 on their existing PCs or at worst with a 100 dollar graphics card upgrade than going out and spending 300 dollars + 50 dollar a year online fees for the most noisy and unreliable console ever made is a 'bad argument'.

Yeah right.

[Pistolero]

Was that supposed to be an argument?

To build even a half decent gaming PC you need to spend at least $500....but that is beside the point...it's obvious that most of you guys who pretend to have gaming rigs, really don't...so let's just drop the act, ok? All those games you guys pretend to get on the PC continue to sell far far better on the 360 and continue to outsell most of the exclusives on the PS3...so it is a weak argument and everybody knows it.

[ThanatosDMC]

We should consider that all SquarEnix games will be multiplat. FF14 was announced as multiplat after Sony announced that it was exclusive.

[raztad]

@Pistolero

Bro, xbox's visuals are comparable to a medium spec PC's. You dont need the ultimate rig to run the equivalent game on PC. Not to mention that games like L4D2 are powered by the old Source engine.

What I'm saying is that my laptop can run xbox's "exclusives" at least as good as your xbox and probably at better resolutions.

[SaberEdge]

That's not really true. A while back I was seriously looking into building a gaming rig, but after going on a lot of PC tech sites and talking to PC gamers most of them told me that I would need to spend around 500 or 600 dollars to build a decent rig that can run games equal or better than the 360 and PS3.

In fact, a lot of them recommended that I spend more, upwards of a thousand dollars. At that point I thought 'nah, I have always done my gaming on consoles and I am just going to stick with consoles'. So I kind of let that idea go.

I know for a fact that even if my laptop could accept a graphics card (it can't) the whole setup would run games very, very poorly.

I love both of my consoles. If a game I want is on the PS3, but not on the 360, I get it on the PS3. If a game I want is on the 360, but not on the PS3, I get it for the 360. It's really pretty simple.

[PS3is4D]

I would like to make a couple of valid points to these bats. The 1st & 2nd party developers of Sony are all "console-based developers." The 1st and 2nd party developers with the exception of some 3rd party developers are all "well-known PC/Mac developers." Bioware, Bethseda, Epic, Bungie, Valve etc, ALL STARTED on the PC/Mac. It wouldn't make sense for these developers to ignore their "primary fanbase." That's like saying LittleBigPlanet is both on the PS3 & PSP which makes it multiplatform yet the handheld market doesn't compete with the console market. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out, same thing applies to the XBox 360 & PC.

The PC market doesn't compete with the console market. Yet these bats who get offended like to call the exclusives on the Xbox 360 & PC, as multi-platform and claim that the PC version is superior when they themselves make these delusional statements with their netbooks.

Lets observe some facts from Metacritic:

Xbox 360: Mass Effect (2007) 91
PC: Mass Effect (2008) 89

Xbox 360: Gears of War (2006) 94
PC: Gears of War (2007) 87

Xbox 360: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent (2006) 85
PC: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent (2006) 80
PS3: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent (2007) 78

Xbox 360: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (2006) 94
PC: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (2006) 94
PS3: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (2007) 93

Xbox 360: Bioshock (2007) 96
PC: Bioshock (2007) 96
PS3: Bioshock (2008) 94

Xbox 360: Left 4 Dead (2008) 89
PC: Left 4 Dead (2008) 89

From this tiny sample out of the dictionary of timed and or exclusives that I'm currently working on. The Xbox 360 gets games a year ahead of both the PC & PS3 and also rates higher, thus making the Xbox 360 the superior version.

Before you PS3 only bats accuse the Xbox 360 of having no exclusives, you'll have exclamation marks exclusively over your heads when I'm done with my comparisons.

Being a multi-console owner is a sad thing when I visit sites like N4G.

[Rhythmattic]

PS3is4D

A earlier release with higher (non platform comparable) scores makes the 360 version Superior?

A game is a game. 1month, 6 months,1Yr into its life... Sh1te.... I still play older titles because I love them... Call me a repeat offender.

If the "I played it before you did" makes you happy, good for you.

To me, a first realease on a specific platform dont mean didly squat.

[PshycoNinja]

Listen I bought a 360 last week ( it was my birthday and I already have a PS3 and a high end PC ) and you know the only exclusive game that interested me? Gears of War, thats it. I dont care for L4D, I dont care about Forza, I dont care about Fable, I dont care about Halo, and I dont care for Mass Effect. Yet while I was on Amazon.com, I was looking at all the games I still want to buy for the PS3 that I haven't gotten yet, LBP, Uncharted, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword and all the games that will be coming out for the PS3.

The only future exclusive for the 360 that i'm remotely interested in is Splinter Cell: Conviction. Basicly, there was only two games that convinced me to get a 360, which is sad. Ussualy a system has to have 4-5 games that I want before I get it. The only other reason why I bought a 360 is because I write for a site and I must be as unbias as possible and if I was to write about the 360 and what games I play on it, I have to play 360 games first dont I?

So my main point is dont act like the 360 has all these great exclusives when the fact of the matter is, is that the PS3 has the great exclusives that will be coming out till the end of this generation.

[Syronicus]

Hopefully you all don't miss out ont he great games coming this season while arguing the fact that all three platforms have great games coming. PC, PS3 and 360 have some good games. As for me though, I have only time for PC and PS3 but that doesn't mean that the 360 is going to do poorly. And as for the NPD argument, try living outside of the North American borders. Some folks have such short sightedness.

[Christopher]

Infamous numbers I was using including only North America. There's no solid numbers for the whole world.

And, honestly, if you disagree with my statements above, you're really in denial. Halo 3 is the best selling exclusive this generation, followed by Gears of War. ODST is primed to be a big seller as well.

Things are definitely capable of change with the newly priced PS3 on the market, though. But, only time will tell.

The funny thing is a lot of you people who disagreed with me are likely doing it because it isn't Pro PS3. If you check my post history, you'll know I play my PS3 except for Mass Effect on the 360 and I'm a huge supporter of what Sony has done this generation.

Oh, and please don't post SimExchange numbers as real. Honestly, do you guys not read what that data is? From the site:

"The PREDICTIONS on this page are based on trading data on the simExchange video game prediction market and not that of an individual analyst or survey. Studies show that prediction markets can forecast the future better than any expert."

This is the site that predicts a sales of 72 million PS3s worldwide. That's more than 3x its current consoles sold...

[lowcarb]

And the same could be said about PS3. For me the only game that even interests me is GOW3 and Last guardian. PS3 just doesn't have the games as far as I'm concerned but that's just my opinion get it?

[Real Gambler]

But the best of all was:

LOWCARB: "attacking people that prefer 360 is just plain stupid." Then next sentence, just after: "your little desperate over hyping ps3 junk."

So I guess attacking the PS3 is ok : )

Two sentences, back to back... 1.12 if you're interested!

[raztad]

@SaberEdge

Not sure if that "not true" was about my comment but no need for lies. My laptop (Radeon HD3650, 3Gigs, Core Duo2x 2.53) runs games as good as xbox at the same resolution. I did several tests with Batman:AA. I'm sure as hell I can play L4D, ME, Conviction. In fact right now I'm playing Gears of War and I will get L4D1 and ME real soon.

To build a PC just for gaming purposes is overkilling, IMO, but nowadays any decent PC with a decent graphic card will get you good enough visuals if you are happy with xbox's.

[lowcarb]

I'm not calling the PS3 junk and clearly didn't type my comment correctly. It should have went with your desperate little PS3 over hyping. Good catch but wrong call. Honestly I can't believe I even typed that and can see why I got so many disagrees now.

[Poopface the 2nd]

how much did your laptop cost you? surely more than 200$. Fact of the matter is if you want to build a PC that can play games like MW 2 or AC 2, you cant for less than a 200$ arcade 360. You might be able to upgrade your existing computer for 200$, but most people dont care or know how to upgrade their computers and taht computer must have cost something. Many would just by a video game box because its simple and a game you put in will always work for your consoles specs. I like PC gaming but Its easy to see that console gaming is more comfortable and simpler.

[Mr Bean Laden]

there's no value in a RRoD flopbox, especially when the exclusives are on DVD 9, and PS3 multiplat games are getting there own versions because there's no room to place on the content DVD 9 for the flopbox

[Mr Bean Laden]

the power ranger with the nerf gun is not mighty enough to stand up to the raw awesomeness of the PS3 slim-FACTUAL

[Dutch Boogie]

Meh it all comes down to personal preference. the ps3 has a strong line up of AAA exclusives that range and apeal to more people because of the overall diversity and quality within them. the xbox360 also has it's fare share but the ps3 narrowly edges it out.

Now when you factor in reliability then it's a no brainer. the ps3 takes the cake. one thing is for sure, the holiday season it gonna be very exciting this year. the price barrier seems to be on the same mark so now it all comes down to brand attraction.

[Saaking]

PS3 offers: Both Bluray and DVD, PS1 game BC, built in wifi, free online, reliability and most importantly TRUE exclusives.

360 offers; Paid online, expensive add-ons, only DVD, not that many exclusives, disk scratching, E74, RROD, etc.

In fact, I'd go as far to say that the 360 is just a really, really bad PC. You can get most "exclusives" on PC.

[Peter North]

What exclusives.

[Saaking]

Exactly. It seems bots can only list multiplats. Here, this is what you guys got

Halo Expansion and Flopza (poor man's GT5).

Try telling me that's not the definition of pathetic.

[Pistolero]

You guys are delusional.

[umair_s51]

NO

[Lou Ferrigno]

HAHA HeaterBoX+Exclusives? Yeah right sucka's.

Unless the delusional idiots want a heaterboX for the EXCLUSIVE 54% EPIC FAIL w/Exclusive Downloadable Ebooks on how to repair your RRoD for $15,BUT ONLY EXCLUSIVE TO GOLD $50 PAYING MEMBERS.

[Saaking]

The 360 has no exclusives. Betabots have been waiting all year for MS to deliver but still nothing. The only full game they're getting this year is Flopza. That is why TRUE gamers choose PlayStation.

[Saaking]

MS has truly done wrong by relying on their wallets and third party games. Their biggest exclusive next year are ME2 and SCC, both third party games with chances of coming to PS3. Sony has been right all along, third party exclusive are a rarity and MS should have focused on 1st party instead of trying to buy their way into the industry.

[Pistolero]

Where do you think Sony got all of those studios?....yes, that's right, they bought them. They bought their way into the industry....no different.

[iceman06]

It was a bit different than "Buying their way into the industry." Playstation made such an impact with the original that companies were basically throwing themselves at Sony...to be exclusive developers. They were the popular kid in school and everybody wanted to hang out with them. With that came a LOT of money!!! MS, on the other hand, were NOT quite at that status and threw money at major devs to secure exclusives. This has NOW become the NEW model for how devs deliver exclusives. That is unfortunate!!!

[NaiNaiNai]

still playing my 360, and I sold my ps3 1 week after I bought it. stop hating, get a 360, its much better.

wanna know why. OVER HYPED. people on this site kept saying it was amazing, it was great, killzone 2 was about to come out, I loved killzone 1, MGS4 was out, I loved the entire MGS series. motorstorm looked great because of the offroad experience.

I bought the ps3, played it for awhile and I was really let down, it was a big disapointment, played the beta for killzone 2 you all seem to love it, I've played so many shooters it felt generic, I didn't need a cover system that got in my way. as for motorstorm after I owned it and played it for a few hours it got old and stale , MGS4 was the worst game in the entire series IMO, I dont care what you think this is me, so SFTU. I played it got threw a bunch of bosses but it did not feel like a MGS experience. not to mention the fact I got tired of playing then walking threw a door and BOOM cutscene, *and don't try and tell me it doesn't, 1 1/2 min load screan after beating the octo, and you move threw a door, and BAM another cutscene, it did this multiple times, I said no more* the only thing, and I mean the only thing I enjoyed on my ps3 was LBP, but it was so damn laggy online that wasn't even fun. and I don't have cheap net either.

but oh no I'm the one whos wrong, only your opinion counts and that opinion is the ps3 is best and the 360 sucks, you guys are such hypocrits, Im not joking when I say I sold my ps3. go back and look threw my posts you will find were I bought the ps3. I ended up selling it for a NDS, which I sold later for a new rock band 2 drum set. T_T but ohhh god no. HES LYING HE MUST BE PS3 IS TA 1337s.

and you all call me a fanboy. look in the damn mirror.

[Saaking]

Who in their right minds sells a machine one week after buying it. That's just stupid and I doubt you actually ever owned a PS3. I bash the 360 yet I haven't sold it. That's be stupid as they'd probably give no more than 10 bucks for it.

[Cyrax_87]

The only thing that seems better is a few online functions the PS3 doesn't have, which is definately not worth paying $50 a year for. MS only have 2 decent games coming out this year, being Forza 3 and an expansion pack of a 2 year old game, both of which 360 fans have had to wait nearly a whole year for..

[Saaking]

It's all about the cross game chat! I'd pay hundreds just for that, hell yea!

[CernaML]

I'm being honest here. The only good thing about the 360 is Live (almost typed love lol). However, I don't think it's worth the subscription fee. I can barely afford my Road Runner connection. Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, a friend of mine lost his subscription and stopped playing with his 360 for almost 2 months. The end.

Excuse my bluntness but apparently bashing one system or the other is the only way to get accepted here.

[Saaking]

Well you are kind of in the open zone, so if you're looking for a civilized discussion I suggest you go to the gamerzone. Brainless bots roam here and they're stupidity is terrible.

[NaiNaiNai]

CernaML if you want bubbles and to be accepted here, bash the 360, even the most retarded statements, even some made by saaking in the game zone get bubbles. I've seen people post RRoD in the game zone and get upwards of 70 agrees in heated debates and not get removed by the mod. But if someone mentioned anything, and I mean anything bad about the ps3 you end up with bubbles like mine and your comment removed from the game zone, no matter how much facts, or links you post. get used to it, this site is full of hypocritical sony fanboys.

just look at Mr.North. no matter what he says its a 360 insult yet he still has all those bubbles.

[Saaking]

boo hoo, bots love acting like the victims. The reason you guys get so many disagrees is because you say nothing but lies. You actually try to convince people the failbox is better. And if PS3 fans are the majority how do morons like Pizzagaki and Mart have so many bubbles?

[FlipMode]

You got bubbles like yours because you troll nainai.

And there are 360 guys who have bubbles like Saaking also because they don't troll like you do, stop acting like a victim.

[NaiNaiNai]

OMFG are you kidding, look at peter north.

Saaking post comments like this in EVERY forza 3 article

"Poor bot, jealous? Modnation Racers has more customization and better graphics than flopza. "

and he still has those bubbles. this site is over run with them, its pathetic. they get away with what ever they want.

so don't tell me they don't troll. peter north trolls more then I have in the entire year I've been here in the past 2 weeks. yet he gets all those bubbles.

go look in a forza 3 thread. then go look in a GT5 thread. you will see maybe 1 or 2 360 owners in the GT5 thread. and then about a good 20+ ps3 owners trashing forza 3.

don't tell me that its getting really old and really fast how you guys say crap like. "don't pretend your the victim". when clearly I am, I post facts behind my crap. I posted pictures of GT1-5 and Forza 3 showing forza threw was on par with GT5P and nothing like GT1-4, yet I got negatives and everyone one of the following comments was Trashing forza 3, IN A FORZA story.

get it. I'm done enjoy the site, I don't need this crap from pathetic ass blinded fools.

good day.

*have fun saaking, you now have less of a fight to make to spread your complete ignorance on people here. ENJOY IT*

[Saaking]

So you're leaving? I guess another bot bites the dust. Bye bye, and thank you for your time.

[HarukoHex]

this is pathetic, you all say nainainai trolls, yet look at some of the comments saaking makes.

"PS3 offers: Both Bluray and DVD, PS1 game BC, built in wifi, free online, reliability and most importantly TRUE exclusives.

360 offers; Paid online, expensive add-ons, only DVD, not that many exclusives, disk scratching, E74, RROD, etc.

In fact, I'd go as far to say that the 360 is just a really, really bad PC. You can get most "exclusives" on PC."

this was in the game zone. THIS IS TROLLING.

yet he had agrees on the comment, he has all those bubbles. majority of your bubbles have nothing to do with trolling or not. its how you troll. if you praise the ps3 and bash the 360 you get bubbles, no matter how you troll it, but if you do it the other way around there taken away, and people just call you a troll.

again like nainainai said go look at peter north. that is complete trolling in and out of the the game zone and he still has all those bubbles.

are you all really that blind and conceded.

its kind of pathetic.

[Arnon]

Saaking is just a chickenshit pile of trash. He spends more time on N4G than the console he keeps trying to tell people to buy. It's ok Saaking, we know nobody likes you. You really don't have to keep trying to convince us. Oh, by the way, you should post your uninformative, biased comments on your website. That way, nobody will visit it, thus saving them the time of not looking at shoddy biased news.

[xaviertooth]

@nai

bye loser!

we don't act like that when you and your fellow xbots cram this site like hell. every hour there are ps3 bashing articles and you troll and post hate like there is no tomorrow.

now ps3 has all the momentum and you cannot accept that fact?

once again bye loser!

[Pistolero]

Give me a break....Saaking is the biggest loser, piece of trash fanboy troll on this site and he has all those bubbles....don't even try to pretend this site is balanced because we all know that is a load of bullsh!t. You can be the biggest troll in the world, but as long as you are bashing the 360 and praising the PS3 you will get bubbles on this site.

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

your all hypocrite fanboys calling each other out there problem solved . on topic in honesty no the 360 exclusives don't match the value i'm not dissing the library truth be told i'd buy a 360 for Dead Rising and L4D and maybe Gears but really your comparing games that you play the campaign mode once or twice and spend the rest of your time on MP for a couple days until you fed up or it's not as fun anymore between a system that you can store music, pictures , videos , movies , explore the web ,watch blu ray movies and play games that you play the campaign mode once or twice and spend the rest of your time on MP for a couple days until you fed up or it's not as fun anymore so no the 360 exclusives don't value as much as a PS3 slim mainly because there useless without an Xbox

[wxer]

@NaiNaiNai

you are such big hypocrite
you call every one else a fanboy
yet you forget yourself
i see you almost trolling at every PS3 write

GTFO of here
and close the door on your way out

[Kushan]

The PS3 has always had the "better value" argument going for it. The slim is certainly a lot cheaper so the value is more apparent, but the 360 has done all right so far, despite its "value" not being as good.
I'm sitting on the fence for this one, I think Microsoft are seeing just how consumers really react by pitching the elite at the same price as the PS3. Who knows what consumers will do in the end?
We live in interesting times.

[Saaking]

They'll go for the PS3. There's been a $199 360 sku for a LONG time. Introducing a MORE expensive sku obviously won't do much.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

it could help... like gears 1 and 2? anyone?

plenty of good bargain games now for sure...

only problem is they've been out quite a long time, but they are new to the new comers...

Same can be said for PS3 Slim and their greatest hits like Resistance, MGS4, Uncharted, etc.

Great consoles for cheap with some of their best exclusives cheap to match!

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

blind people are trying to use the computer... accidentally hitting the disagree button...

but then how do the blind on this site have the most bubbles?

[JYstiq808]

@NaiNaiNai

On your real account now trying to spew your propaganda?

[NaiNaiNai]

Everyone here knows what account I use. Its this one. And theres a few people around here who knows some secrets.

but ant no way in hell I would be xbox360elite. dudes a moron, and not even a funny one.

*heres the funny part, If I had multiple accounts, you think I would be sitting here in the open zone with 4 bubbles, how bright are you?*

[ginsunuva]

I DON'T NEED AN XBOX TO PLAY GEARS OF WAR, MASS EFFECT,L4D, OR SPLINTER CELL!!!!

And ODST + Flopza 3 = well...um...flop.

[The Tour Man]

Winter is approaching so you looking for a heater then 360 is the choice for you. just dont leave it on for over an hour or else you might be counted as the 54.2% and/or it will blow up.

[Lou Ferrigno]

i Think its FinAlLy Time for someone to hand over the dictionary to Micro$haft so they can look up the word "EXCLUSIVE" when deciding on making games.

[BubbleSniper]

can you hear that

its the sound of another fLOP

[The Tour Man]

NaiNaiNai is just butt hurt because he's a shemale and realised that the 360 was a heater/microwave/atomic waste. Dont worry you have Gay Tony to look forward to.

[PandemicPrawn0]

It's all a matter of preference.

I have enjoyed most of the 360 exclusives to date, but won't get bent out of shape if someone else finds them lacking in a certain department.

[butterfinger]

more Arcade units than any of their other SKUs this entire time, so I'm not sure that their "price drop" will have a dramatic effect in comparison to the PS3's price cut. They are offering more value, but all it really is is a larger HDD. That being said, MS has been winning the battle against Sony this gen with their games and Live which will not change. MS has established many new franchises that are now synonymous with the XBOX360 (whether you fanboys that claim to have these amazing PCs like to admit) such as Gears, Mass Effect, and Left 4 Dead, and they have all sold millions of copies on the XBOX360. XBOX Live is also a thriving community where as the PSN is kind of stagnant and can make you feel as though you are the only person online. My answer to this article is that, yes, the 360's game library can definitely compete with the value of the PS3 slim, and Microsoft has definitely succeeded this gen even if they come in third place in the end. Sony still has their biggest games yet to release this gen (GOW and GT), and they haven't established their great new franchises as well as MS has (Uncharted, LBP, and Resistance all did well, but those games deserve to be best sellers among all platforms). At this point, MS is holding steady with their strategy and succeeding, but Sony is definitely continuing to pick up speed.

[HDgamer]

You're delusional. The wii has outsold the 360 and ps3 by 3:1

[butterfinger]

did I dispute that fact?

[butterfinger]

so MANY valid points to back up all of your disagrees! Ah, there is nothing better than this magnificent, intelligent debate we are having.

[cmrbe]

The only thing I agree with is xboxlive is a big advantage for MS. However this is mostly in western countries where online gaming is really popular. In the end I don't agree that it is enough. MS lack of exclusives will ultimatley see them in 3rd place when this gen is done. Lets not forget that in the end people buy gaming console for the gaming content avaliable on them. The problem with MS 3rd party strategy this gen is that most if not all of them are on the PS3 as well. Some are still exclusive to the ps. What this means is that sooner rather than later there will be more games on the PS3 than on the x360. Not only that there will be more variety and quality games on the ps3 due mainly to sonys stellar 1st and 2nd party.

[butterfinger]

So, you are saying, as usual, that we just need to continue to wait for Sony to blow MS out of the water? The PS3 is going on 3 years old now, and they still can't come up with an exclusive that can stand toe to toe with MS heavy hitters Halo 3 and Gears of War 1 or 2. MGS4 is my favorite game this gen, but it still didn't garner the type of sales that you and your pals hoped for. I'm wondering if there will be a point this gen in which those of you that make excuse after excuse for Sony will finally concede that the XBOX360 is beating them each month in the largest territory due to the quality games and overall experience. Price has a lot to do with it, but Sony hasn't released any games that can compete with Halo or Gears in terms of popularity. They NEED Gran Turismo ASAP, and expect GT5 to sell WAY more copies than GOW3.

[cmrbe]

Sony doesn't need games to go toe to toe with Halo or gears. The PS never needed a game to go toe to toe with Halo last gen or Mario since the beginning to win. I don't get why you don't see this yet. The strength of the PS brand has always been the variety and quality of its games collection. Sure there are bolters like GT but GT alone would have never won Sony previous console wars. The PS3 is only less than 3 years old. It will go on to sell another 7 years at least. In the end it will sell at least 100 million. The x360 will not last long because of its hardware and support. Down the line when more and more people have HD sets. Blu-ray will become a big factor in gaming. 3rd party devs will find it hard not to use the PS3 technical advantage like blu-ray and standard HD later on in this console lifecycle.

The problem with people like you is that you take things at face value. People see the PS3 at 3rd place in this console race sofar and immidately think that it is the end without taking alot of factors into account. Sony dosen't work that way.They march at their own tune.They are not reactionary like MS. Sony has a plan right from the start and their goal has always been to make sure that the PS3 will be supported for ten years and for it to sell at least 100 million units. Everything else is secondary like who is on top or bottom at which time frame and what not etc etc. MS knows they can't survive long competing directly with Sony. Thats why they are going after the wii market to sustain its console for a longer period. I doubt it will work.

[butterfinger]

You prove your blind fanboyism time and time again. I understand exactly what is going on with each console (since I own all 3), and you are so full of sh!t it isn't funny. The PS2 didn't have heavy hitters that drove console sales? I guess we'll just forget that GT and GTAIII were HUGE system sellers along with the Final Fantasy series. However, you really showed how stupid you are when you "guaranteed" that the PS3 will sell 100m this gen. It is not even close to being in line with how the PS2 at the same point in it's cycle, and the competition is MUCH more fierce with Nintendo actually showing up this gen. The PS3 can barely manage 23 million in 3 years, but you think it will hit 77 million over the next seven years? Not to mention the PS3 is about to hit it's prime over the next 2-3 years, and we will see sharply declining sales when the next PlayStation, XBOX, or Nintendo is released. You keep it up, though. One day, Sony will send you a very nice email thanking you for all the spin that you spread across the internet for them for free.

[KingKionic]

Obviously microsoft are going to bundle halo and forza 3 .

Definitely help them push consoles.

I think this holiday season Sony and ms will be head to head in sales

[butterfinger]

GT5 to win this holiday. MS will sell more copies of COD:MW2, and they will squeak out a win. Uncharted 2 is not the mega-blockbuster that can push Sony over the top, and not to mention it is releasing to early. MS will be sitting pretty with MW2 and L4D2 a week later.

[raztad]

Head to head is a possible scenario in NA. Japan and EU are in Sony's pocket even BEFORE the price cut/slim launch.

[butterfinger]

Sony wins narrowly in EU, and Japan is barely a blip compared to the other 2 regions. Everyone knows (including Sony) that you have to win NA to win the war. That would explain why Microsoft has put everything they could into making their home country happy.

[KingKionic]

I did notice the first modern warefare sold over 7 million on xbox360

If the trend continues it will sell 9 million.

You are right about modern warefare 2

I just think Sony ll be close to ms this holiday

[raztad]

@butter

Sony WON EU narrowly BEFORE the price cut. Price Cut + Slimmer PS3 will be a game changer in EU. Not doubts about it. Japan wont look so small when FFXIII is released.

NA will be Sony's as well, IMO, but I concede you that NA is where MS is gonna fight harder.

[butterfinger]

are so pathetic. Nainainai is right on many counts, but you are all too stupid/terrified/too busy bubbling each other in the asses to admit it. It's funny how you all complain about MS' costs and how they screw people out of money, but you all own these amazing PCs that can play all of the 360's "exclusives" at much better quality than the 360 could. I guess it makes more sense to spend thousands of dollars on a PC as opposed to getting a 360 for $300 + $50/year for Live. LMAO. The fear in all of you is the funniest thing on this entire site. I can't WAIT for the NPD results this month, because I doubt any of you will show your pathetic multiple accounts. It will be another XBOT chest thumping session wtth all of you PS3 fankids crying in the corner.

[FlipMode]

Thousands on a PC? What are you on about? Know before you talk.

*edit
OK ill play along I am a huge troll, and it costs 3 grand for a gaming rig stupid droids!

Better?

[butterfinger]

want to run a quality gaming rig, then you would want to spend thousands on your PC, yes. Perhaps you should do less trolling and more googling. Then again, you're just a troll on a website that humps a video game console all day long.

Also, flipmode, how many accounts is this for you now? I'm guessing at least 3, but who cares? You're just like the rest of the trash around here.

You are a huge troll, and anyone in here with a brain can see that with a quick check at your past comments. Oh, and how much did your PC cost? Was it less than $299.99 + $49.99? Can you run any of the XBOX360 "multiplats" (as little children like yourself like to say) on a decent setting? I guess arguing about the exact dollar amount of a quality gaming PC is an easier fight to win than actually pointing out the 360 is a hell of a lot cheaper regardless. Go ask your mom how much she paid for that PC, seriously.

[HarukoHex]

Flip Mod my brother spent spent close to 2 grand in the past year building a new game rig, and just last month bought another video card to replace his "old" on from 6 months ago, PC gaming costs thousands of dollars more if your gona play the best, If you can't play it at max settings the game might as well be exclusive to the 360.

know before you speak.

Flip mod, and you say nainainai trolls.

[FlipMode]

You two are hilarious.

[butterfinger]

the type of reply one would expect from a child that doesn't know how to win an argument. Go on now, keep trying to fit your d!ck in that PS3, I'm sure you're close.

[Tinted Eyes]

Amazing..... a troll calling someone else a huge troll.......

[FlipMode]

LOL win an argument? Why the hell would I argue with someone that you need to spend thousands to play a 360 game when you clearly dont?

And why would I carry a conversation on with a person talking about sticking d1cks in gaming consoles?

[HarukoHex]

so flip mod now that you lost the argument your spinning it around. XD ROFL just like the multi-account troll you are.

[butterfinger]

That's how this works harukohex. He confuses himself, because he is so busy signing in and out of accounts and bubbling/agreeing with himself that he can't figure out what he is even talking about anymore. He's just another waste of space that can't afford to own multiple consoles, so he has to defend whichever one he saved his milk money for.

Lol. Tinted Eyes, you want to talk about someone trolling? That is TRULY amazing! In response to the idea that some of the N4G users have low standards, Tinted Eyes replied: "Tinted Eyes - 3 hours ago
PM
Track
Ignore
4.1 -
Like most xbox owners. "

Right, you're not a troll at all.

[FlipMode]

Oh I'm loving this, now I lost the argument now according to these two even though you dont need thousands to run a 360 game - I'm loving the spins please keep em coming. ;)

[butterfinger]

you're loving it. I'm loving it as well! I really get a kick out of watching you talk to yourself on here and just hope that one of your fanboy butt-buddies rushes in to save you. What an adorable little boy, you are! Maybe one day you will be old enough to get a job and buy your own video games. Hang in there, buddy!

Hmm... Isn't it weird that Tinted and Flip have made nearly the same number of comments (not many) on N4G, and have almost the same number of people tracking them (5 and 6), and joined less than a month apart? I guess I'm betting on you having 6 accounts now. XD Is that you, Nasim?

[Tinted Eyes]

If you call that trolling, then dude you are the biggest one on this site.

[Tinted Eyes]

yeah dude you caught me I am nasim and flipmode and every other ps3 faboy on this site your so clever/S

[butterfinger]

Kid, I've been on this site A LOT longer than you have, so please don't pretend to know me or my habits unless you have taken a long hard look at my past comments. I take great pleasure out of making sad little fanboys like yourself and all of your little friends upset.

I didn't have to "catch" you, you make it obvious when you express yourself in the exact same tone on every account and use the same abbreviations that most people don't use. How many accounts did it take until you felt important?

Well, off to bed my little PS3 friends! If you need a reply, feel free to PM me, but I won't be logging back on for another 12 hours or so. It was so nice getting to know you!

[Tinted Eyes]

Your boring now, but I find it so suspicious you're talking so much about multi accounts.

[butterfinger]

Hit me up when you change back into your gorilla suit.

[Tinted Eyes]

lol yeah go ahead anyways I'm tired too

Flipmode out, OOPS! ya caught me!

[BubbleSniper]

wall of text = check

no one cares = check

pointing it out = check

still not caring = check

[butterfinger]

ANOTHER one of your accounts. You are possibly the most pathetic fanboy on this entire site, and it's easy to pick out your stupid accounts and patterns. I guess you really can't take losing, BubbleSniper aka FlipMode aka Tinted Eyes aka many others.... XD

[clintos59]

You & cooliris are delusional. Wasnt it 360 fanboys claiming ownage that the 360 had a better lineup of exclusives coming this year only to get rejected with Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake & Splinter Cell Conviction all getting a 2010 release?

U also said the 360 has the same quality of games as the ps3 but I fail to see how when the ps3 has already dished out 3 AAA Quality Exclusives already while the 360 is struggling to deliver even 1 this late in 2009. If anyone needs to check them selves, its u and your delusional boyfriend cooliris.

[KingKionic]

Xbox360 had slow year for exsculsives....

Next year looks better though.

No one should deny ps3 having a better yea for exsculsives.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

from December on... it's going to turn into a massive bloodbath for both!

[PirateThom]

08?

The year the PS3 had Metal Gear Solid 4, LittleBigPlanet (both of which split GOTY awards between them), Valkyria Chronicles and Resistance 2 while 360 had Ninja Gaiden II, Tales of Vesperia (both of which are now coming to PS3 in expanded forms), Fable II and Gears of War 2?

No, I'd say PS3 took 08 as well.

[clintos59]

I totally agree.

IWentBrokeForGaming

I fail to see how the 360 had a better year last year in games especially seeing that LBP swept almost every award including GOTY08 & not to mention MGS4 which most reliable sites gave it a perfect score including IGN who even went as far as to say,"MGS4 will go down as one of the greatest games of all time". So tell me how u figure?

Edit: PirateThom u beat me to it lol.

[Pistolero]

Oh please, pirate tom and clintos...it's not like you would admit the 360 had a better year anyway...so what's the point?

I have both consoles and I liked the 360's lineup in 2008 better than the PS3's...and it seems lots of gamers agreed with me, considering the success of those 360 games compared to the PS3 games....this year the PS3 has had a better year so far.

[PirateThom]

You shouldn't assume things.

A lot of gamers disagree with the 360 having a better line up in 2008. Hell, even the media, who usually back Microsoft to the hilt had MGS4 or LBP as their GOTY and it was a pretty even split, Gears 2 won nothing, Fable 2 won a questionable GOTY from XPlay (announced the same day Molyneux was visiting them).

The 360's 2007 line up, though, that was a different story. It was Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank and Warhawk against Halo 3, Mass Effect, BioShock, Forza 2, PGR4.

2006 - 360
2007 - 260
2008 - PS3
2009 - PS3

I'm sorry if that's unacceptable to you.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

as most of Sonys big hitters are appearing next year as well!

it's all competative!

This year I easily bought more titles for my PS3, I can admit. With the latest being Batman:Arkham Asylum

Im definatley going to finish off the year with Uncharted 2 and L4D 2 as well. Can't think of anything else I truely want this year!

[josephayal]

THE XBOX 360 HAVE EXCLUSIVES???? I THING NOT

[bunfighterii]

Typical N4G flamebait.

There was absolutely no news in this half assed article attempt.

[albert_275]

Sony won this year, but Microsoft has a chance next year.

My prediction is that they're going to blow out everything they have holiday 2010 with:

Halo Reach
Gears of War 3
Fable 3
Natal plus some cruddy launch titles (but with head tracking! yay!)

They're the best (and i guess only true) exclusives on the platform, and coming out all at once will really give people a reason to buy a 360.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

But that's just more of the same. The 360 already has two Gears of War games, two Halo games (by then), and a Fable game. Microsoft will have to do better than that if they want to attract more potential 360 owners.

[tripewire]

The 360 has exclusives now?

Forza 3....
And?

Once Halo 3 hits PC thats about it.

[Pistolero]

Alan Wake, Halo Reach, Fable 2, Fable 3, Gears of War 2, Halo 3, Crackdown, Crackdown 2, Halo 3 ODST, Forza 2 and Forza 3 are a few 360 exclusives (released or announced) that can only be played on the 360.

In the grand scheme of things though...most console gamers couldn't care less if a game can also be played on the PC...all they care about is whether they can play that game on their console.

[hakis86]

Hahaha

on-topic: It seems like a lot of articles focuses only on the exclusives. Lets say all the games a buyer knows he wants when buying a console is mostly multiplat. What makes him choose between the PS3 or 360 then?

[SixAmpFuze]

a bunch of tools i swear i hate u all

[PandemicPrawn0]

The guts of the question being asked is, can good software trump good hardware?

In my opinion yes it can I can only speak from experience with the 360 as I do not own a PS3 but the Halo, Gears of War, and Fable series have been very lucrative for Microsoft.

As long as MS continue to build on these franchises with the likes of Crackdown, Forza and Viva Pinata I believe they can hold up pretty well.

Also What are they doing with some of there old IP's from Xbox 1

Crimson Skies?
Brute Force?
Sudeki?
Voodoo Vince?

All these IP's can fill the gaps in the shooter heavy Xbox portfolio.

[kickerz]

hmmmm he suggests that the xbox arcade is out of the question.. but i seriously beg to differ..its really cheap!! and if your not really into online gaming.. you could just pick up an arcade unit and maybe a memory stick and your sorted!! cheap as chips mate. I know alot of people want online gaming (including me) but theres still are fair few people that dont care about it and the arcade model is perfect for them...thats my 2 bob.. have a good day :)

[Double Toasted]

...coming out for the PS3 the rest of '09 are...
Demon Souls
Uncharted 2.

The 360 has these games that aren't coming to the PS3 that are coming in '09...
Forza 3
Raiden 4
Halo ODST
L4D2
Darkest of Days
Tropico 3
Risen

[butterfinger]

Ratchet and Clank is coming out as well, and I GUARANTEE it will be the biggest system seller this gen. It could possibly sell 5 million copies, and me and all of my PS3 friends on N4G are going to finally be victorious. No more hiding everytime the NPD results come around for us!

[Double Toasted]

I...I'm detecting sarcasm good sir.

[Nexy]

The fascinating thing is that SONY fans spend hours on the internet trying to 'prove' that 360 gaming library this year is less impressive than that of PS3.

And when it comes to actually buying games 360 has always been winning hands down and is very likely to win this year as well.

It looks like Xbox 360 fans buy and enjoy their games and do not waste time to prove anything. At the same time PS3 fans just spend way too much time trying to convince themselves that PS3 has better games. Their sense of insecurity about their own console of choice is amazing.

You really believe Uncharted 2 or MAG are better than ODST or Forza 3? OK, that's your choice. Buy your games and stop wasting time writing BS on the internet because you will never convince those who think otherwise.

[Midgard228]

halo odst? 3hour long campaign and 3 new multiplayer maps? is it really worh 60? was barley worth 30. i luv halo, i even have a halo 360 but im not gonna fall for that crap

[Double Toasted]

my green 360 is turning brown and i have no reason to turn it on so please give me a reason, help is welcomed

[Double Toasted]

so you'll have to find your own reasons for turning on your 360...

[Midgard228]

if u cant think of anything else its because u dont have anything to look forward to either. ur arguement is blank,

see i wanna play my xbox but MS needs to show more than a copy cat price drop. price drop didnt help me i already have one.

i want games! wheres my dead or alive 5! my DOA: Code Chronus.....team ninja is why i got an xbox :( not no dumb beach volley ball and a XBOX ONLY tag on NG2 which comes out on ps3 this month with way more stuff.....grrrr

[IDetonation]

Nahh. Your a fanboy. Dont act like your not.
:]

3/4 the Ps3 games you mentioned arent even worth renting.
Good job.

I'll just play DCU online on my PC along with the Agency. I think Sony fans need to learn the meaning of "exclusive". If it's on PC, it's NOT exclusive. Oh, the nerve!

[Rowsdower]

if you want both consoles then do what you have to in order to get both consoles. if it does not matter to you that you own either a ps3 or 360 but not both, then what is the problem? Who are these people who get all crazy about one console over the other, its stupid. Buying one does not mean you are locked into some exclusivity agreement, and if this is about something philosophical then you are a fool. Video Games are about fun. Where is the fun in all of this? "Can 360 exclusives combat Value of PS3 Slim" Combat Value? If you cant see how stupid this has gotten then you are lost.

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

What exclusives?

[Rowsdower]

what is the point? does your catty remark make you feel good about yourself? I would really like some insight into the mind of someone who cant help but throw in their two cents worth of negativity into a futile argument where nothing is gained or won. If sony outsells the 360 and moves on to 2nd place do you get a prize, or if the 360 stays in the same spot and the ps3 does not overtake it do you just stop talking? or does it not matter in the end and you will find something to b*tch about no matter what happens.

I am sorry to jump on you, I dont know you, but I am getting sick of this BS on N4G.

if ur sick of it why are you here commenting? just use it for news and thats it, dont waste ur time with commenting against something that can never stop. We as humans are prideful beings that hate to think what they own is less superior than anothers.

whether its console wars, racism, religion even what food taste better orwhat girl is hotter, people will always argue. so if u wanna remove one of those things from ur list, just stop commenting on peoples arguements.

thats all have a good day :)

I wonder why people still brag about Infamous and oppose it to Halo Wars... Infamous is great, but I mean...it did barely better than Halo Wars on metacritic (84 vs 82), sold less, and lots of better 3rd person multiplat games were released during the last year on consoles (Dead Space, RE5, Red Faction, Batman AA...) , while no better RTS than halo wars were released on consoles. So Brag all you want about KZ2, but opposing infamous to halo wars is just retarded considering I'd rather have the best title in a genre as an exclusive than the 5th best in another genre, even if it's got slightly better reviews...
Oppose it to Ninja Blade if you want, but Halo Wars is just as much a great game as Infamous is.

Flash Games have more exclusive.

Halo odst -Xbox360
Ninety-Nine Nights II - Xbox360
Crackdown 2 -Xbox360

Mass Effect 2 -Xbox360/PC

Only 7 games on that list that i am interested to play them and own them. FORZA3(to own), HALO ODST(to own), SPLINTER CELL(to own and then trade), ALAN WAKE(to own on PC), HALO REACH(to own) and MASS EFFECT(to own on PC)

so yeah some of them are coming for PC too but the thing is not everybody likes the games you like and another things is that >>>I<<< like MANY OTHERS dont give a FnCK about those PS3 OVERHYPED AND OVERRATED SO CALLED "AAA" EXCLUSIVES.

The article is another boring ploy to try to devalue the 360 as a system. It won't work. You notice they have to talk about games like God of War 3 that are literally 8 months or more away. Plus they will stay away from the subject of Multi-plats because that historically has favored the 360.

On subject:

Name one exclusive on the PS3 that will outsell HALO:ODST. You can't unless you want to lie to yourself.

If you own an Xbox right now you are in for one of the best years as a gamer period. The Sony articles leave out the other games (multi-plats/exclusive DLC) that make it onto the system for a reason..they are what millions of Xbox owners will be completely satisfied with all the way through 2009.

This what Xbox gamers will be spending their money on this year

Right now we have the brilliant Shadow Complex. Many Xbox gamers are currently splitting time between Madden and Batman. But if you look at the WHOLE picture and not just a handful of exclusives you see why Xbox gamers arent going no where in 2009.

As for the shooters in the bunch, we all know the 360 is the goto system for Live and the 360 controller. (Which is why COD:MW2 has only demoed their game on the 360.)

Gran turismo will sell grea for the PS3, but Forza 3 will be a massive seller for 360 owners in it's own right.

The point is if the decision made has been the 360, those games will be immensely happy for the rest of 2009. Slim will sell early because of the new design and Blu-Ray. But, the mass migration from 360 owners won't happen in 2009 and 2010 is going to be the 360's best selling year ever.

38 million by the 1st quarter 2010 and 50 million at the end of 2010. What are they going to write about then?

Well.. Even if a game is published by MS, if its both on PC and 360... MS loses anyways.. True 360 exclusives in general I mean. MS will never win if they keep releasing their exlusives on PC (But they do get a lot of money in return). MS has to make it 360 exclusive from the get-go and not cancel the PC version 4-5 years after all that hype (e.g. Alan Wake).

Also, MS has to secure more first party developers. The amount they have right now is laughable.
