| numonex said: X360 has only had 3 big exclusive* games (Halo 3, Gears of War 2 and Fable 2) in three and a half years. PS3 has had 15 big exclusive* titles that have not reduced the sales gap on X360. *Exclusive to that system only and not on PC. PS3 only has Gran Turismo 5 left as being a game that could change things a little but it will not be enough. God of War 3 will sell well but it is no system seller. Even a PS3 price cut in late 2009 could not turn around a 10 million+ sales deficit. Third party support>> First party support. 360 has much better third party support than PS3. X360 gets more DLC than PS3 for multi-platform games. Multi-platform games sell much better on X360 than PS3 due to X360 larger install base in the western world. Last generation PS2 had all those extra third party exclusive titles that gave it the unbeatable edge over its competitor XBox and GameCube. Now the third party developers are putting games on other platforms: XBox 360 and Wii due to the change in market shares from last generation. Strong third party support gives X360 edge over PS3. |
The reason why your philosophy fails? The majority of people out there are not like us on the forums. PC/360 exclusives dont hurt 360 sales. Discluding them is the reason why it seems ilogical that the 360 wins in sales. The mainstream consumer wants a new system to play games on. At home they have a modest Vista media PC. They dont want to be playin hours of RPGs for example on the PC otherwise mum and kids cant use the internet. You only have to look at the sales of the games on PC and 360 to know that the to markets exist side by side, not competetively.
For a start you missed Forza 2 ( over 4 million sales )
But games like Mass Effect and Bioshock Timed exclusive helped sell 360 very well.
If by big exclusive you mean sales. Then the PS3 has certainly not got 15. I would say big exclusives have been MGS4, Uncharted and a few other games that got between 800,000 - 2 million sales.
Taking the 360 exclusives that sold the same sort of figures, you can really add the following:
BK N&B
Crackdown
Halo 3
Gears 1 & 2
PGR 3 & 4
Forza 2
Ninja Gaiden 2
Lost Odyssey
And I'm sure there are other exclusives on 360 that sold in the same region of the 15 PS3 exclusives you are considering big.
