"I would ask you to go and look at some of your data, just to compare first party performance over the course of this lifecycle, because I think our first party performance in terms of quality bars and units per title this shift has been superior to our competition’s."

 

edit: Addressing the 2nd only, the first is covered as best as quality can be objectively covered in the OP itself

PS3 1st party
# Titles 82
Total sales 81.17 M
Units/title 0.99M

360 1st party
# Titles 56
Total sales 102.85 M
Units/title 1.83 M

Wii 1st party
# Titles 76
Total sales 341.35 M
Units/title 4.49 M

Sorry bud, not even close

How exactly did you get those numbers because I know VGchartz undertracks alot of ps3 software, and 360 had a year head start so yea MS is just full of bs



Yes, you can expect the CFO to say nothing different, but i have a feeling that, say, Nintendo would never say "our online is superior to our competitors," when asked a question about their online play.

I agree with Doobie-wop on this one. He could have given a positive answer that doesn't sound like an outright lie



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Well of course MS is going to say that about their own games...



@ Mr Khan

The only thing that could possibly considered a lie in what he said is that they outsell all the other 1st parties. Ninty has that one in the bag.

Quality is entirely subjective. I've had more fun with the 360's 1st party than any other and I own all 3 consoles. But there's going to be many who disagree with me. People are, as always, overreacting. The thing is people can run around with all these "list wars" all they want but that doesn't neccessarily mean anything. Like to me I'll take Halo alone over 10 PS3 or Nintendo titles, but that just cause its my favoirte franchise.

Basically its gonna be different to every person.

he just should have said it was beter then sonys

after all, no ps3 exclusive can touch the sales of Halo or gears

Yeah, if only GT5 could touch the sales of gea...

That guy has been banned over 20 times from Gametrailers so dont bother arguing with him.

Exactly.



quality is of course subjective, but he can't be serious sales wise, can he?

Yes, but "our online is superior to our competitors- Nintendo" is a subjective value statement, but would still be considered a disingenuous comment on its face

You could pare that down to subjectivity with a few caveats, or even a few word tweaks, but as it stands, no. Subjective statements can be wrong

It's all about the blockbusters really. Nintendo was their only true competition in that regard, but they've been inconsistant over the last 2 years.

MS just knows how to make blockbusters, year after year after year.


I'd have thought that Galaxy 2, Other M, Kirby's Epic Yarn, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wii Fit Plus, Wii Party etc. released and developed by Nintendo for Wii in the past 24 months were received better than Halo:Reach, Kinect Adventures and Forza 3...I don't know my MS games BTW. I'll happily say otherwise if proven true, but I doubt it As for this year, they both have 1- Gears 3 and SS, as well as a couple lesser titles (Kinect for MS, Wii Play Motion, Xenoblade for Wii). Is it as strong as '08? Not really (but 3rd party was good last year), but it still beats Microsoft's.

MS Have Gears, Halo and Forza this Holiday, all sell above 4 mill and all likely to rate 90+

Not that i think MS has the best exclusives and first party (I rank them at the bottom, just happen to be my faovurites in there though thankfully) but ..

2009/2010
SMG2 - 96
Kirby - 86
Wii Party - 68
NSMB - 87
DK Country - 87
Metroid Other M - 79
Wii Play Motion - 58
Wii Fit Plus - 80
Wii Sports Resort - 80

2009/2010
Reach - 91
Forza 3 - 92
Fable 3 - 80
ODST - 83
Alan Wake - 83
Halo Wars - 82
Crackdown 2 - 70
Kinect Adventures - 61
Kinect Sports - 73

Probably missed a fair few out


Alan Wake and Crackdown were developed by MS? There you go I suppose.
