In fact the whole post is kind of a joke lol, sony doesnt have any franchises which as powerful as Halo or Gears. Its most succesful franchise (first party) killzone, has sold around what fable 2 and crackdown did. lets not get delusions of grandeur here people

Again, Halo and Gears have sold so much because they're the only exclusives the 360 has. Fable II and Crackdown don't count, because Miss Piggy didn't mention them.

 

 

But her whole arguent is flawed. If what she said was true, things like lair should have sold bucketloads on the PS3 because at the time it was one of the only exclusives on the system... the point she is missing is that volume of exclusives is not correlated at all to the quality of the exclusives. Microsoft happens to have two high profile exclusives which, if multiplatform would sell just as well on the PS3. People dont buy games just because they're exclusives (if they do they're extremely sad and need to get over the whole system wars rubbish), they buy the games due to brand awareness or perceived quality. 

So what you're saying is that she left out a lot of 360 exclusives? And she also named a bunch of PS3 exclusives that only sold a lot because they were bundled and/or came out when the PS3 didn't have many exclusives? That's crazy! Why would someone bother to post such an inept article on VG Chartz, I wonder?
