| Onyxmeth said: You and I are on different pages right now, which is funny because I can tell you think exactly like I do. Multiplatforms games are just as good as exclusives are. Most of the time, I think they're better. My favorite game from 2008 was Burnout Paradise. I get what you're saying that there is too much emphasis put on exclusives like nothing else in this world matters. I agree, and I've pointed it out in the past with how flawed that thinking is. What I was talking about though is that if you're considering two consoles, let's say the 360 and PS3, and you know you're buying one, looking at the titles they share doesn't matter. Regardless of which you buy, you know you have access to that sector of games. You need to look at the titles they don't share to see which is the better buy software wise and in that case only the exclusives do matter. |
I am not sure there is much disagreement, maybe a bit of a different focus.
What I do see exclusives doing is ending up potentially being a tiebreaker, all things being equal, INCLUDING PRICE. And this is provided that the title is good and in a genre that matters. Well, in the case of niche titles, the last Katamri ending up only on the 360 did matter some. Titles going multiple platform will end up causing someone to take pause and decide they won't buy the other console just to get a certain game. And it goes on.
I guess what I originally wrote was more of flaws in the reasoning why the exclusives argument can break down.
