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

A lot of these 360 timed exclusives were early games that were released in 2006-2007 when the PS3 was very expensive and it's fate was unsure. Games like Lost Planet, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion were launched only when the PS3 was a couple months old, it would have been very difficult to make these game multi-platoform from day 1, and if PS3 did turn out to be a complete failure, then they would developers waste their time working with PS3' complex cell processors?

Very few modern 3rd party games go multiplatform. The only 2 I can think of are FFXIII and ME2, so thats 1 for PS3 and 360. This timed exclusive thing only applied to old 360 games, mainly because the PS3's fate was unsure, and developing for it was hard.

You can list examples of MS buying timed exclusives, or limited edition bundles, but Sony does the same. Madden NFL 2011, Dead Space, Black Ops, Medal of Honor, Dead Rising 2, etc. Almost every new game now has some limted edition special only available on one console because Sony or MS paid for it to be that way. This isn't a 1 sided thing, stop making it look like one.

As for the rest, your just getting insulting, and thats not called for.

Online Play, Acheivements/Trophies, Arcade Games, Home Button, the option to buy the console without a hard-drive, allowing to have save games on USB's, HD gaming. Microsoft did it all first, yes at first reliability was terrible, but HDMI models only showed a 2.5% failure rate (compare that to PS3's 1.2% and Nintendo's 0.2%), and I'm sure the Slim models are better.

You know before MS, Sony first made unreliable consoles? I never had a broken Nintendo or Sega, or have met anyone who has. Both my PS1 and PS2 broke around the time a successor console came in. Coincidence, or planed obselence?

Please leave insults out of this, neither the PS3 nor the 360 are perfect. You know before this generation, a post $300 console was just crazy. $400 on the 360, okay, but $600 on the PS3? Common..
