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.


Rigged? I'm using hard facts. You can't rig facts.


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


I'm not gonna go over this again.

@your thread idea, go for it! 



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

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 lots of other shit too. Smh


Of course you're not going to get a discussion out of many people if you don't start a discussion. Simply presenting data isn't starting a discussion since it's already common knowledge. If you left a point or presented a question like "Why do 360 Exclusives sell more than PS3 Exclusives?" or "The main difference between 360 Gamers taste and PS3 Gamers taste" something like that, then you would at least give people the oppurtunity to discuss something. But you say "PS3 Exclusives Vs 360 Exclusives". What does that even mean? A Versus would suggest that one party hasn't already won. Obviously that's not the case with the 360 and PS3. By just presenting data, you're not going to get any members discussing anything. And so you're left with people arguing over other stuff.

Why not just let the thread die then instead having the same argument that has been had a few hundred times already?

Fable II should replace Fable III and Forza 2 replace Gears1


They are exclusive. PC doesnt count. Besides, using your logic LBP shouldnt be on the list either


Look at 360 list, looks at PC.

 

Looks at arcade games and Indy titles, looks at PC.

 

LOLZ @ PC doesn't count. Any excuse to suit an argument. Just like how mobile phones don't count, amiright?


*facepalm*

The console war is between PS3, Wii and X360. PC is a completely different thing. It's like comparing peas, broccoli and lettuce to a drum kit


PS3 = Peas
Wii = Broccoli
Xbox360 = Lettuce
PC = Cabbage

PS3 = peas

X360 = broccoli

Wii = lettuce

PC = pineapple


Nope. My example is better and far fitting due to the fact that the Xbox360 has alot of PC games that arent available on the PS3. Minecraft and Left 4 Dead 2 being prime examples.

People get Lettuce and Cabbage confused since they seem similar but are actually different.

Not to weigh into the stupidity of this, but who gets lettuce and cabbage confused?  They don't even look the same. 

Lettuce is extremely leafy (flower-like) with a consistent color.  Cabbage is a ball nested in a few leaves, with the unfolded leafs being dark green or purple and the ball being a lighter shade of green or purple.  They don't feel the same.  They don't smell the same.  They certainly don't look the same.

The only time they sort of look the same is at the grocery store where a lettuce head is balled up.  But walk into a field of lettuce and they look like green flowers growing out of the ground.  In fact, lettuce is of the same family as the sunflower where as cabbage is of the same family as kale, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.

By your definition, the Wii and the PC are more similar than the Xbox 360 and the PC. 


There's alot of people who get confused with lettuce and cabbage....trust me ;o

I know the differences between them.

Also the examples I provided were a variation of MBP's example, I only added the "Cabbage" part.


All this talk about vegetables reminds me of Dragon Ball Z :P (E.g. Broly = Broccoli ;o)

This thread isn't going to die. Might as well make something constructive out of it.

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



Kinect Adventures is an anomaly becuase it was bundled with hardware. Generally though, sales do equal quality, as consumers will only purchase games which they will enjoy

If it was constructive you'd have a point but this is just a pissing match.  All this thread will accomplish is some calories burned from typing and most likely a ban.

The thing i get from this thread :

PC +ps3 = awsome !!!


Why do you get that from the thread?

40% of the games in the OP can't be played if you only have a PC and PS3..

You're probably right. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

Perhaps you're right. I'll change the title to 'why do x360 exclusives sell more than ps3 exclusives' to see if that helps things
