I say put them on both because for different regions there are completely different circumstances. For Europe Warhawk is a PSN only game and has been for a long time. In the US though you can go into a shop and still buy it on the greatest hits line. On the flip side in Europe you can walk into a store and buy Siren, but in the US Siren is a PSN only game. But you still haven't addressed my main concern which is how do I tally the lists correctly and not double count those games? Let's say it looks like this(made up numbers) Retail Downloadable However five games on the retail list are SOCOM, Warhawk, GT5 Prologue, Siren and Quest for Booty and those same five games are respresented on the other list so the PS3 is being represented incorrectly on one list, but you don't know which one of course. It'll be getting credit for 10 games when in actuality there are only 5.

Away from that these lists on a technicality are pretty much right, but when talking about exclusives nobody cares about a lot of listed games. I mean who would say "Yeah the 360 is great, it's the only console with MotoGP 06" or "Yeah the PS3 is great it has Motorstorm". There have been sequals since for both, and it isn't like it is a story based or even story heavy game or anything, when a new one is release the old may as well turn to dust. Yeah but I decided my opinion would only degrade any integrity I was trying to give the list by adding it with the data. It's impossible to say what should and should not be dropped. Most people would go for the sequels but then there are others that do enjoy earlier games. I know people that still play Gran Turismo 3 and there has been 1 1/2 sequels since then. Likewise there is a quality issue, the Wii probably has more exclusives than the 360 and PS3 combined, but who really cares when most of them no one has any interest in. I see the problems with what to list or not though. I addressed the quality issue in the only way I could without inserting my opinion, which was seperating it by a review source. I used Metacritic because it's popular here and because they have good search tools to work with. As I said on a technicality when people talk of exclusives you are right, but what people say and what they mean are two different things, and this list doesn't really do much for the argument they mean. No one cares about about Kengo: Legend of the 9 or Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire. When people really talked about this I know exactly what they meant. They were talking about the ongoing pissing contest they love to participate in against rival platforms. Most of the people bitching about it didn't even have a gaming PC to play those games on so it was an irrelevant point for them to make. Most of the time it was mentioned it was done with an agenda. Nice list anyway, but I think it fails to achieve what was intended. |
