Forums - Sales Discussion - Why do X360 exclusives sell more than PS3 exclusives?

This tread is obviously rigged to make the 360 look better, cause the fact of the mater is a lot of 360 "exclusives" aren't exclusive at all. Many people can own a decent PC and a ps3 may never need an xbox. That's the whole point of having exclusives, Something you can't get anywhere else. Let's Do a top 50 with Real Exclusives and see how that looks.

These threads are always terrible and end up in the same stupid arguments. Let the OP define exclusives in his terms. Then, if you don't like it create a similar thread with your terms. Don't turn these threads into an argument over something so stupid.

A clear example of why these forums are getting dull.



You gotta love this community sometimes. Another day the same old bullshit. This sites software tracking is known to be highly inaccurate. That isn't to say it is useless. It just means that you have to treat it like a generality. You can curve it up or down by upwards of fifty percent of the numbers given. Most of the problem is that the data doesn't get corrected past a couple months out, and small sales later in a games life are rarely tracked if at all.

Which doesn't really matter when it comes to what is being discussed, because those differences balance out, and do not change the net outcome. Which is the 360 sells more software then the PS3. Which is in fact pretty easy to understand when you think about it. The console is more dominant in North America. Where more games for the consoles are sold then either of the other two regions. Plus North Americans seem to be far less scatter shot about what they buy then other markets.

That doesn't give Sony a out by any stretch of the imagination though. Doing poorly isn't any kind of a justification for doing poorly. That is like a murderer justifying his crimes by saying he is a murderer. It isn't a excuse at all, and any attempt to try to pass it off as one is mildly retarded to say the least. Back on topic. Sony failing to do well in North America has cost them a lot in the way of software sales. Which has cut into their bottom line. If Sony had a choice they would gladly dump half their European customers to get the same number of customers in North America.

Nitpicking doesn't change the situation at all. No matter how many substitutions you call on the original poster to make the outcome will not change at all. Microsoft is thumping on Sony when it comes to software. You might as well accept that. Doing otherwise just seems petty or anal. There is a logic in picking your fights, and this is a fight that Sony fans never win. You can't even force a stalemate.

The original poster knows what he is doing. This is a classic bait and switch tactic. That leaves you encircled, and without any way to escape. He can substitute those two games at any time, and that basically leaves you without any weapons to use. All your going to end up doing is committing suicide, and he is going to enjoy himself as he makes you squirm like a worm on a hook. I have seen this happen dozens of times now.

Why do people still fall for this trap. I have seen it used dozens of times, and you would think after six years of getting slaughtered on this one. Most Sony fans should be able to recite the arguments verbatim. It is so easy he really should be ashamed of himself. As for those throwing down the gauntlet have you even heard of the word gullible. Make him work a bit for his victories.

Sure they become facts when you change the definition of what an exclusive is.

What do you wish to discuss? You just listed numbers without really stressing a point.


I just showed the facts, which are the bare bones of discussion. I was hoping that the community would then discuss these sales, but instead they got into arguments about the definition of exclusive and other pointless shit. Smh



Late but:

Dude, Halo 3 sold 18m didnt it?


Not according to VGChartz it didn't. I think MS said it sold 15m though...


Wikipedia said 18m but if you base your numbers on Vgchartz, then its cool. 

Well you have to remember that microsoft would be 100% aware of how many digital sales of Halo3 came from their games on demand service whereas vgchartz only tracks phsical copies of games sold never digital so that is why Microsofts number would be so much higher than that tracked here, it's not that either is incorrect just that vg chartz doesn't deal in digital sales.

I agree with you MBP btw on having the games which are on the PC and Xbox on here since you did a bit of rewriting to state that it's just right up if you only owned a Ps3 and Xbox those are the games you are talking about, but having Kinect adventures on there is a bit iffy by my standards, it's handy that it is tracked on here as a way of seeing how many kinect bars sold, but that is all that number is, a good deal of those sensor bars were purchased to be used on the PC which means those copies of Kinect adventures went in a bin probably, it would be the same as if a dualshock3 was listed as a ps3 exclusive, people didn't go out to buy it, they just got it free with something else.

Good sales don't equal good games. Kinect Adventures speaks for itself.

I've had a lot of fun playing it with the family.  Bunch of adults jumping around looking stupid is fun.  Good is subjective.
