However, what I'm saying is, a bit of the Playstation's exclusives are platform defining regardless of genre. GOW is platform defining in the hack & slash/action genre, Gran Turismo is platform defining in the racing genre, LBP is platform defining in the platformer/2d side scroller genre, Final Fantasy (is - Versus XIII/was - FFXIII) platform defining in the RPG genre, MGS is platform defining in the stealth action genre. See where I'm going here, just like Halo/Gears are platform defining in the Shooter genre and Mario Kart is platform defining in the racing genre as well as Super Mario Bros being platform defining in the platforming genre.

Your statement was that Twisted Metal will help PS3 differentiate itself from the others. All those games I mentioned, regardless of genre, help differentiate their respective consoles which was my original point, hence sales being high for each, and/or system sellers, making them platform defining titles. I hope that clears up any confusion.

You're just talking about different games. Every game in existence that isn't an actual carbon copy waiting for a lawsuit matches your criteria. His point was that Twisted Metal is different enough from all other current games to warrant it's own attention as an individual. Most of the games you mentioned are merely the best but have considerable competition from other series that are vastly similiar to them.

You also keep saying "platform defining" at the end of every example when RV never said anything about that. He said, and I quote "I thought they should have came out with this game on the PS3 much sooner since it helps differentiate the PS3 gaming catalog from other consoles."How does Gran Turismo differentiate the PS3 from other consoles when the 360 has Forza Motorsport? It's the exact same kind of game. Ditto for God of War and Ninja Gaiden/Ninja Blade. God of War isn't even unique on it's own console and has both Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Heavenly Sword as similiar experiences. Stealth action isn't even a genre, and MGS is a third person shooter. There are plenty of them across all the consoles. It's gameplay mechanics are rediculously similiar to quite a few games currently on the market. Those are all games located in saturated genres, and that was his point. Twisted Metal along with LBP, may have slight similarities to other games of the past, but they are far too unique in this consle generation and help the console stand out because no one else has anything like it.
