I'm curious to see which ones of those end up on ps3, there are always a few, hell even mass effect 2 is coming to ps3, I was thinking about getting a 360, but it just doesn't seem to have any games of its own, anyways here's hoping the games I end up wanting end up on ps3, otherwise I'm going to have to buy a gaming pc

Lol PS3 owners are so lucky that many of 360's exclusives are timed. I hope PS3 3rd party games go multiplatform. Specifically FFXII Versus. I mean FFXIII went multiplatform almost last minute, there is hope.

Very few games announced to be exclusive end up on 360 and never after launch (except for one that added cross dash or something to the end of it's name and sold poorly on both), FFXIII is pretty much the only one I can think of, alot of games that were assumed exclusives because of the series but ended up getting paid off by MS or just going with the flow either way, but yeah MS seems to be putting its money into buying timed exclusives rather then making it, and I feel really bad for anyone that bought their system for those games, I mean Sony was forced to make exclusives and they get the timed good ones so I pretty much got the best of both worlds at this point 

 

  • Tekken 6
  • Quantom Theory 
  • LA Noire
  • Assassin's Creed
  • Final Fantasy

Ah post like this one makes it obvious how some people are trying to forget how small Xbox and how big PS2 was. When I bought a Xbox 360 in 2005 I never expected to play games like Final Fantasy. I bought the console because of Live, Halo and Fable. MS announced Resident Evil, GTA, Final Fantasy and Tekken to be on the Xbox 360 some time later.

And no, MS did not pay them to be on the Xbox 360. As a publisher / developer it would be just stupid to focus on the console with the smallest userbase. You can't create a 20 mio USD game and just ignore a 45 million userbase. Publishers / developers WANT to have their games on the Xbox 360. Just like they want to have it on PS3. It is that simple. This shows how big the Xbox 360 has become and how the PS3 declined. With a market share like last gen, we wouldn't even talk about it. Hell, there wouldn't be something like VGC, because sales would have been as boring as hell.

MS might have paid for GTA IV DLC, true. But so did Sony for MoH / Dead Space Limited Editions. Somehow MS is always moneyhatting something and Sony gets 3rd party exclusive stuff "because they have such a good relationship". Fanboy logic amazes me.

I don't think MS paid for all of them but I know MS paid for some of them to be ported and if you don't think so you are just naive, and almost all the timed exclusives (they wouldn't be exactly 1 year later every time if they didn't would of been simultaneous release) as for MS getting a lot bigger in the gaming industry yes they have but what have they brought to it, paying for online, acheivements/trophies(fun but not major), the worst failrate in a system ever, companies are going to put less into making quality machines from now on, nickel and dime point system for online purchases, timed exclusive after timed exclusive(ie paying a dev to keep me from playing a game for a year) and as far as games go, crackdown and gears of war and the only good ones and crackdown probably still would of existed, so I don't know what your so proud about MS has done alot bad and hasn't even come out with it's own games, thinking about it makes me kinda sad actually
