Forums - Gaming Discussion - The old adage that Xbox 360 Exclusives Sell So Much Better than Playstation 3 Exclusives is a Myth!

I said more than likely. Given the OP and his disregard for Kinect, yet he includes the ps3 bundles. It's kid of laughable.

just something to argue about. by the end of this gen. PS3 exclusive total will have out sold that of 360 exclusives by a fair margin.


Haha what? Is LBP Karting going to suddenly sell 10 million?

ha ha ha ha. yea, a cold day in hell!!! PS3 still has a few exclusives coming out (i think 6), and games like UC1-3, infamous1-2, and GT5 continue to re-enter the top 40 sales charts.

the gaps in 360 multi-platform dominated games are in decline.you know, the little things. and the fact that PS3 games have long sexy legs.

Let's not forget those other 360 games that got boosts from being bundled like Halo 3, Fable, and Forza as already mentioned.



I think the main reason this gets brought up is because Sony has more "flops" or niche titkes than MS.

MS focuses on turning a few big franchises into blockbusters while Sony pumps out more titles with varying levels of success. Both have multiple big exclusives though



When you have to make a bunch of provisos to prove your point you really don't have a point. So when the entire Sony library becomes available via Gaikai should I make a thread about how much Sony sucks because they can't sell a single exclusive? That Sony is the most useless 1st party ever because their exclusive sales in the current generation exclusive sales were approaching zero?





Tease.

Looking at the early 360 releases, MS tested the waters funding niche exclusives early on and stuck with what made sales and moved systems, which is probably smart business.

I don't understand why kinect adventures is being removed from the equation. For every kinect adventures bundle sold with a 360, some random ps3 exclusive is being bundled with a ps3.

Yeah, right after the supposedly huge ip Alan Wake fails to sell anything at all and it's demonstrated that as a whole Gears, Fable, and even Forza dramatically underperform.

It's being removed because much like "Wii Sports" it's a game that has little value to the true 360 gamer and that has only sold as well as it has due to bundling.  If Kinect Adventures hadn't been bundled with Kinect, the odds are it would have sold less than "Otogi" "Voodoo Vince" or "Blinx:  The Time Sweeper" on the original Xbox.  Just like if "Wii Sports" hadn't originally been bundled with Wii, it never would have sold 5 million copies.  If it makes folks feel better, I have no problem with "Sports Champions" being removed as well.

Gears dramatically underperforms? What?
