The 360 has very few 3rd party exclusives, nearly all the non-Microsoft-published bestsellers were ported to the PS3 (minus that Zombie game from Valve, but that company is run by a pigheaded ex-Microsoft employee). The PS3 has more 3rd party exclusives lined up than the 360.

The 360 actually has more third party exclusives than the PS3 does Mike. A lot more actually.

 

 

Mainly some old ones (mainly from before the PS3's release) which didn't sell much. All the top 360 3rd party published games have been ported to the PS3. Not Call of Duty 2 (not that this is really an exclusive at all, it was designed and published as a multi-platform game) for example, but would there be a point to do so today?

Actually when we did the math I believe both consoles had about the same amount of retail third party exclusives when you didn't count anything before November 2006.

I'm not sure why sales are a relevant factor in this conversation. Obviously all large scale third party titles would be better off multiplatform, so discussing sales just seems to be a futile point. The smaller scale games are the ones that will continue to be exclusive sometimes, so we should concentrate on trying not to disclude them just because they don't sell very well.
