Forums - Gaming Discussion - Is it just me or is the 360 low on exclusives in 2011 vs the PS3?

It seems like that's the case almost every year (Although 360 usually has 2 or 3 games to list).   I'm sure the 360 will pickup some games as the year goes on so I wouldn't be worried just yet.

....But this is something that I have felt for several years now will really cripple the 360.  They just don't have enough first party studio's. I've felt for this entire generation they are relying primarily on

(Gears sequel/Halo IP game/ Forza sequel / Fable / Third Party Exclusive). 

This lack of first party studios becomes even more astounding when you think about the Kinect.  They better pray that Kinect garners a ton of third party support, otherwise they are going to have a hard time pushing a concept that's never really been done before and proving that it works and works well.

What happens when what happened to Sony (Losing almost all third party exclusivity) happens to Microsoft?   I mean we're already seeing Bioshock/Mass Effect/Portal/etc big time games jump ship over to Sony.   I think Sony will clearly out produce MS in this regard because they have the ability to pump out several IPs per year with their sheer amount of First Party.

 

I guess to sum it up,  MS is notorious a 'last minute' surprise type of company (Especially this early in the year)  where as Sony announces their games  5 years before they hit the market (See GT5 :P)....So there is some time for MS to announce a beefier lineup, but overall I think we will start to see this more and more and tilt in favor of the PS3.  (Especially if we've seen the last Halo / Gears ) this generation.

heheheheheh yea yea so true man...like Alan wake which was done in 3 months....oh no wait

anywho yea its true..by this time last year we knew of Reach didn't we? and Fable? Splinter cell? Crackdown2? I know MS fans would like to this MS is huge on surprised but E3 is done...GC is done...and we do not know more than 2 games that's for next year....also it's not like Sony doesn't keep surprises either...LBP2 was announced and such this year and they have a huge line up of possible exclusives that can be announced at next E3 too..like UC3

so yeah imho it's not looking too good for 360 fans.....even some of my most hardcore 360 fans are annoyed by this

oh and btw...you missed Forza Kinect..

Oh don't get me wrong.  Sony is all across the map.  They surprise you (Uncharted 2, etc)  / keep you waiting in agony (GT5/GoWIII).  I just believe from what we've seen MS has announced games in general, closer to release than Sony.  I mean we've known about GT5/Last Guardian/Agent/Versus/etc for quite sometime now and atleast in the case of GT5....It's finally going to be released.

With that being said,  that was kind of my point. The 360 is relying on too many third party exclusives (Which may not be exclusive anymore or development might shift focus to another game, etc)  so they really don't have even a choice on when these games hit their system.   Sony on the other hand can have all their studios pumping out game after game as well as the typical third party installments.

I think interesting days are ahead for PS3 owners.  I've always felt the PS3 has had the best exclusive lineup on the market and the further this generation fleshes out, the PS3's lineup just keeps growing and growing (Over the Wii and 360s).  It's looking like it has staying power. 

It might/(probably won't) not win this generation in gross hardware sales but I really believe the PS3 will have fully made itself felt by the end of the gen.     And that is surely a surprising thing after hitting the market like a rock like it did.

this thread is full of damage control...as the end of 2010 doesn't look promising for ps3 in comparison with x360 you are focusing on 2011.

Ok, that's fine but just remember to put into the equation that none of those exclusives is on par with GT5 that will be released in november ...those might be good/great game indeed but surely,even combined, don't have the same hype surrounding GT5 (=if you expect those games to move the market towards PS3 you are going to be disappointed: to the majority of the people that are still waiting to buy their console those titles mean nothing)

Um no. Nomura received massive backlash from FF fans for even entertaining the idea of a multiplat versus.

isnt mass effect 3 rumored for 2011? or maybe it was 2012.. anyways there will most likely be a new left4dead

I fully expect both to be released on PS3 as well, considering Mass Effect jumped to PS3 and so did L4D's developer, Valve.

Anyway, I expect MS to announce something. Things aren't looking too well for them though, Kinect seems to be their main focus. But then again, them focusing on Kinect which isn't even ready yet could mean they aren't just ready to show anything yet, only when we're closer to Kinect's release of even after its release.



Gears of War 3
Codename Kingdoms
Forza 4
Milo & Kate
Left 4 Dead 3
Project Gotham Racing 5
Dawn of Fantasy
Too Human Trilogy part 2
Kingdom Under Fire II

This could potentially slay any other lineup in 2011.

What damage control do you speak of? The PS3 and 360 have both had great lineups this year. The 360's lineup this year has more playability. Still, this doesn't leave the PS3 any weaker at all. Exclusives give luster to a specific brands  value. If they do not have this, they might as well kiss the highest possible sales for that year goodbye. This is not damage control. As I've said...2011 is going to be abnormally dominant on Sony's part with Microsoft taking hit after hit from the hardcore standpoint. They might gain casuals, but when the chips fall on the hardcore games (which the PS3 will obviously have next year) even some 360 and Wii owners might increase PS3 sales. The whole point of this is that I am worried for Microsofts hardcore sales next year.

Gears and Forza are the only really good  games in that lineup.  Sorry but the list sucks
