Somewhat misleading. These are all "big" franchises, but not necessarily the biggest, especially God of War. Certainly Halo, Mario (and several iterations of it), Dragon Quest are bigger franchises that some of those listed. Of those that are listed, GTA and RE are available on other systems. I think a rather fair assessment of exclusives can be found here:
http://www.gamingtarget.com/article.php?artid=7064 Note that this only looks at console exclusives (PC and handhelds are not considered). Significant titles (either for strong reviews, or strong franchise history) are in green. IN summation: 360: 44 released exclusives (33 green), 47 unreleased (12 green) PS3:8 released (3 green), 36 unreleased (11 green) Wii: 21 released (5 green), 55 unreleased (14 green) Understand that the unreleased games will have fewer "green" titles as new franchises have not had a chance to earn strong reviews (like Motorstorm and Gears of War). |
I just want to point out. Driver 5
Killzone
NBA 08
SingStarPS3
The Getaway 3 Are un-released, and should be green, by their standards. EDIT: And the PS3 isnt about old franchises. It's about the new ones! |
Which is why they showed 5 minutes of MGS4 footage at their press conference....I think every console brings new franchises. The problem is that it is impossible to say with any certainty whether a game will be a success prior to its actual release (Daikatana anyone?). Something like this is a simple guide, not immutable law. You have to use your own judgement.As for the franchises you listed, they were only "greening" franchises noted for high quality and strong sales. Whatever their criteria for reaching those benchmarks, I am guessing those franchises don't meet them. However, if you are a fan of Singstar, obviously the list will be even better in your eyes. OTOH, if you have no interest in Final Fantasy, the list will be somewhat diminished. And this is, of course, true for all 3 systems.
