He hasn't even played them, he doesn't like them based on the fact they didn't sell 5 million which is just plain stupid 

@edgeoflife  that might be true, but whatcha going to do??? his lost i guess. Some people are just like that they follow the masses and see whats "cool". Been like that forever dont think its going to change

Doesn't mean I'm going to hold my tongue or let it slide, especially not in my thread, a thread about ps3 exclusives, I'm going to tell him how stupid it is, if he doesn't listen that is his loss as well, hopefully someone else will

Look at it this way.....he'll have no variety and you'll be playing all the same games he'll be playing without doing it on the 360. 

repeat posting, my bad

It's not that I don't like them, they're probably all fun games, but they're not selling the high numbers that "franchise" games (Halo, Gears, anything Mario or Zelda, etc.) do.  My theory is that's why the 360 has sold about 4 million more systems and over 128 million more games.  Regardless of my opinion of ps3 exclusives, I think they need a few more that sell in the range of 6-10 million to also sell enough systems to close the gap with the 360.  That was my point, is that ps3 exclusives aren't very good from a sales standpoint and are a big reason the ps3 is selling way less overall and versus other consoles compared to the ps2 which completely dominated.

Really looking forward to Twisted Metal and Motorstorm Apocolypse. (Keep the exclusives roling Sony!)

The highest selling games on the 360 are all shooters and mainly supported in America. Top 3= Halo, COD and Gears. This is called group-think...and quality seems to only span one genre on that console, but they are the most fun in their genre across the board. Sony is closing the gap (a one year gap I might add). They could end this gen in second place if Microsoft doesn't clean their act up. Most of the people buying Kinect already have a 360 as people have been noticing. The numbers of Kinects sold and new 360's don't add up as well as it should. Most of the core 360 owners switched from Sony to Microsoft because at the time Microsoft had all the games. This is no longer the case and with the price down Sony is gaining in sales. This year prepare to witness most of the cores who own a 360 also own a PS3 side by side, because just like the 360 before they go where the diverse games and affordability go. The 360 and PS3's value will most likely be split like this: 

360: 

1. Superior premium online experience.

2. Not a bad system if multiplatforms and a couple exclusives are enough for you.

3. Still has COD: Black Ops DLC on timed exclusivity.

PS3:

1. Unfair advantage with the exclusives and game variety in 2011.

2. Growing installed base online. It's not Xbox Live but its still damn good. 

3. Most of the exclusive DLC is going to Sony as well in 2011 (developers are taking it away from Microsoft because they are noticing the shift change as well).

P.S.

Sony has already made comments regarding what you stated on exclusives making more money. If you notice, the sales are shared amongst the top 3 games I stated before (and possibly forza and Fable even though they aren't in their league) are very good, but Sony stated if all of their games sell well (which is a lot of games) this satisfies them. They could match Microsofts numbers and probably pass them without even trying. Also, large installed bases are growing for Sony's top games now. This is why I am stating a change is taking place and multiplatform developers are noticing.
