Flamebait Friday Debate – Which HD Console Has The Best Exclusives?

I quite enjoyed Heavy Rain , Wipeout HD , Killzone 2 , the Motorstorms , the Uncharteds on Sony’s console but the only Microsoft game i’d like to play is Gears of War.

Mass Effect is not an exclusive, nor is Splinter Cell. Both are on PC. So the clear winner is: PS3 with MGS4, GOW3, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, Gran Turismo 5!

I agree with clericZA in the sense that i too own a ps3 and a xbox 360 (and a wii) and i can honestly say that i play more on my 360 than anything else. I’m not going to talk about hardware as that is not the topic in question. Exclusives are no good to the console manufacturers if they dont have decent sales right. Ps3 had an awesome 2009 and a good start to 2010 (God of war 3, heavy rain, etc.). God of war 3 was supposed to be Sony’s killer app for the ps3 to pull in massive game and console sales. Well according to n4g it sold over 1 million units worldwide during 1 week. Halo 3 on the other hand sold just under 4 million copies in the same time frame (www.vgcharts.com). Other examples – halo wars out sold killzone 2 at release,mass effect 2 (xbox 360 version) sold 1.5 million copies in the same time it took heavy rain to reach a million (www.vgchartz.com).My point is that if the ps3 has such awesome exclusives then why is nobody buying them? Uncharted 2 took 2 weeks to reach a million and infamous a good few months and these were big ps3 titles. Any ways, dont get me wrong i love my ps3 and mgs4, gow 3, ninja gaiden sigma 2,resistance 2, etc. but if you are talking exclusives you can’t dwell in the past you must see what’s ahead. Like i said 2009 was ps3’S year but 2010 brings us mass effect 2, splinter cell conviction, halo reach, fable 3,alan wake, project natal (way better than the sony move and uses less, sorry, no extra controllers)and gears of war 3 early 2011 on the xbox 360 ( i know that some the titles i mentioned are on pc but since you can’t play any of those titles on ps3 at the moment i consider them xbox 360 exclusives for this topic) whereas ps3 so far gave us god of war 3, heavy rain and later gt5 (whatever century it’s going to be released)and (to a lesser extent)yakuza 3 (which 5 people purchased, including me, in the west) and yakuza 4 (japan only for the moment) and of course playstation move (with the 20 controllers and the playstation eye needed) i can certainly say that their is a lot to look forward to on the xbox 360 over the ps3. As a side note i also find that the xbox 360 has a lot of exclusives from lesser known niche developers (whilst not the best quality software) that adds variety to the overall software selection (ben 10 vilgax attacks, metro 2033, risen, tropico 3, ace combat 6, divinity 2, earth defence force 2017, guilty gear 2 overture, magnacarta ii, samurai showdown sen, etc.

i think , MS have a bigger wallet than sony , thus MS bought all these developpers really nice suits and said make the game for 360 and we will give you a free pair of shoes to match….but when you look at the core of it , sony is a stronger brand in terms of quality , and thus sony and blu ray will reign king at the end of the war – and just for the kids – sony will still be making ps3 in 2017 – where as MS we release another rushed jobed – rumours have it its called ” xbox – RRod ”
excuse the pun
