Why Do PS3 owners not buy exclusives

Right, because if you don't like every PS3 exclusive you're automatically an Xbox 360 fanboy?

I won't make the list here because I don't want to derail the thread, but sure, I'll make one for the 360 exclusives I've played and message you.  Also, please do not call people fanboys.

I wouldn't say that you're a 360 fanboy.  I just remember back over a year ago when I was more active here on how "anti-Sony" you were.  Even when you got your PS3 you weren't even happy about it and hated it at first. So no, you wouldn't be a fanboy of any specific system if you ask me my opinion.   You've just were conditioned so much to hate everything Sony.  Time will get you to change your tune eventually when the really great IP's come out that are right down your alley.

But there is no rule that says that everyone who doesn't like a certain exclusive is a fanboy for another system.   Myself, I didn't care much for MGS4 and ended up trading it in (with a couple other games) for Rock Band 2.   LBP is a neat game, but it's good only in short bursts for me. 

I bought Socom and the only good thing out of that was the headset.  Of course, I haven't tried it since they came out with the new patch, so maybe it will be a bit better now.

MAG... now that is a damn good game from what I have played in the Beta.  It really gave me the feeling of the old Socom, but with a hell of a lot more chaos going on.  Shame that they made it so easy to track down where the enemies are at.  Especially when I'm sniping and have a good spot to pick off a ton of baddies.

Uncharted 2, was in the beta for that as well and honestly, from what I've seen this game blows the first Uncharted out of the water.   And that is saying something because I absolutely loved Uncharted and thought it was the best single player game I've played in many years.  I will be buying this.  (Once I find work again, being laid off sucks).

I buy exclusives.   And I will continue to buy exclusives that I like.   I won't buy any exclusive just because it's an exclusive.  It has to be a genre I like, and if I'm interested I may rent it first and if I really like it after that, I'll buy the game.
