Does the 360 have any real exclusives?

Considering that the PS2 still had exclusives as late as 2007 (God of War 2, its own versions Singstar & Buzz, etc.), I think that taking release rate, and quality-over-time is really much more important than "count".

The X360 was hotter than the PS2 in 2007 because it was just that -- hot. Upcoming. The awesomeness was getting released, all fresh and new, and it was good stuff, to boot. If you want to map a console's performance, in terms of exclusivity, you have to consider time and growth/recession, plain and simple.

Otherwise, who cares about any console, but the PS2? It has a truckload of games rated well on metacritic... guess what those games would be rated now, if they came out on the 360 or PS3? Even the 2005 exclusives for the 360 are pathetic compared to just last year. Their metacritic rating is near meaningless -- heck many of the low scored ones were even criticized for looking too much like PS2 titles.

A simple snapshot tells no meaningful story, in this regard.

Do you have some way to measure whatever it is you're talking about?

The same argument could be made for early PS3 games, but I counted them too. If you want everything to be wrapped in a nice little bow of statistics, then that can't happen, unless someone actually knows how to do it and what to look for. This was merely to bust a myth and regardless of whether anyone thinks those games are good or deserving, the myth has been busted. I really don't care what else anyone takes from this thread. That was my only point.
