Gaming Irresponsibly's F.P. takes a lighthearted look at why it seems that the few Xbox exclusives sell better than Ps3's library.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
GL compiles a list of some of the most mind-blowing video game narrative twists in recent memory, from The Last of Us to Outer Wilds
With articles like these cant you tag the games mentioned so that we can know ahead of time if there’s a spoiler to avoid?
Not clicking on your article otherwise.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
I still don't understand why ps3 peps doens't buy ps3 exclusives like xbox guys do!
I mean we have a lot of exclusives,but how can't we have one exclusive game with 10+ million sales????
360 exclusives sell more because they appeal to the mass 360 audience, PS3 gamers are very varied, where as 360 are mainly FPS/Action gamers. that's why you looks at the main selling franchises on 360 they will be the FPS games.
I especially don't agree with the 3rd point in this post, halo's story is shorter than most ps3 exclusives but yes it does have one of the best multiplayers you can get this gen.
overall I think its because the PS3 offers more verity in exclusives than 360, not trying to start a flame war here but just look at the line-ups
PS3's attach rate is higher than the Xbox 360's or more or less has parity with the 360's. Meaning, the install base does by games, it's just there people with only PS3's still have far more choice than people with 360's so the sales of exclusive games are much more spread out. Of course Gears 3 for example is gonna sell millions. Not just because it's Gears, but because 360 only gamers have been starved of an exclusive title for over 9 months.
I strongly believe that the xbox live ecosystem is a big contributor towards the sales of games especially exclusives on the xbox.
2 years ago when i was playing Gears 2 all the time on xbl with mates at uni, i had a guy on my friends list who joined my party chat and was asking us if Gears 2 was any good because he noticed that i played the game alot.My party session waas full so we were all telling him how cooll the game was and why we all play it constantly.
A week later, he had bought gears, finished the campaign and now joined us to tryout the multiplayer and he absolutely loved it even if he was getting his ass kicked. A couple of days later, i now noticed he was in a party playiong Gears 2. I joined his party and 1 of the guys in the party was a guy on his friends list that he used to play FIFA with that he had now convinced to buy Gears 2.
This cohesive and connected nature of XBl makes it that youare constantly getting games recommended to you by people on your friends list.
Another big factor is that Microsoft puts xbl spotlight directly in your face with ads for big titles and believe me you can not escape it.
I got Touchlight thrown in my face so much that i invited a guy on my friends list that i saw from his profile had finished spotlight and asked him how good the game was. He gave it an A+ so i bought it when Microsoftwere heavily promoting their half price deal on the game and i absolutely love it.
I believe if SOny can make PSN alot more social, then game sales can increase by at lease 10%. Word of mouth online is a big factor.
