The only place Xbox beats Playstation in terms of quality games is the download sector. where PSN gets the Pixeljunk stuff and Fat Princess, Xbox Live gets LIMBO...wait, that was just released on PSN. then there's Braid...wait, that was too. What about Super Meat Boy?....right, that's on PC. Oh, I know, Shadow Complex!

But seriously, XBLA has some phenomenal games, where PSN has some good ones too, but not nearly as many and not quite as good.

When it comes to Retail, I just can't argue against the PS3, sorry guys. sure, not one of them sell through the roof, but that's not for lack of quality, it's because Sony has admitted they "won't put forth the [aggressive] marketing Microsoft does." they don't go on campaigns to promote their games, and have always been advocates of "make good games, they will buy."


You wanna go that route? I could list the games that were all PS3 exclusives at one point, that the 360 ended up getting day and date of the release. Otherwise, stop pronouncing your opinion as if it's an absolute fact.


sure, let's go that route...wait, nevermind, you completely missed the point.  I was joking, which is why I followed it up with "but seriously, it has some awesome games, more than the PS3".  I just did the math earlier today and lemme see some downloads the PS3 has (And feel free to correct me, I didn't take it from a proper list, I made it myself):

Wipeout HD Fury
Flower
PixelJunk Shooter
Joe Danger (?)
Critter Crunch (??)
Shatter (Also on PC)
Super Stardust HD
PixelJunk Shooter 2
PixelJunk Monsters
Everyday Shooter
Trine (Also on PC)
Echocrome (Not sure if counts, due to it also being on PSP)
PixelJunk Eden
Fat PRincess
Echochrome ii
Soldner-X2 Final Prototype (???)
ZEN Pinball

See what I mean?  Pretty much the PixelJunk series, Flower, and Fat Princess.  Not a bad list, but nothing spectacular either. Xbox, on the other hand, has quite a few more great games for download: 

Super Meat Boy (Also on PC)
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2
Shadow Complex
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved
Trials HD
Pinball FX 2
Splosion Man
ms Splosion Man
Bomberman Live
The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom (?)
Defense Grid: Awakening (??)
The Dishwasher
The Dishwasher 2: Vampire Smile
Snoopy Flying Ace (!!)
ilomilo
Darwinia+
Toy Soldiers(!?)
Cloning Clyde (???)
Rocket Riot (?!)
Chime (?!?)

(the ? and ! are just there to show I have never heard of them before) 

There's the Splosion Man series, Geometry Wars, Super Meat Boy, Shadow Complex, The Dishwasher series, and ilomilo...those are a great set of games, not to mention the system also used to have LIMBO and Braid as exclusives...they later went to PS3 but they're still 360 games in my eyes.  

I REALLY don't want to have to copy and paste my entire findings...over 100 retail exclusives with a combined review score average of 80 or more.  Wii has the most with 38, followed closely by PS3 with 36, and only 27 retail exclusives from 360. That gives the PS3 the overall best list of games, since it has the most highly-ranked exclusives (36 retail and 17 downloads) and shares the largest number of multiplatform games with the 360.  

Here are some stats: 

PS3
36 retail
17 downloads
53 total
Also shares most of its library with the 360

360
27 retail
18 downloads
45 total
also shares most of it's library with the PS3

Wii
38 retail
2 downloads (disappointing, I thought it had more!) 
40 total
Only shares a few games with PS3 and 360 (namely the Rock Band/Guitar Hero games) 

This means that, objectively, when it comes to high ranking exclusives, the PS3 has the most by a fairly wide margin, with a nice balance between having the second most retail games followed by the second most downloads, resulting in the overall highest number since the 360 is a bit lacking in retail games and the wii is severly lacking in quality downloads. 

I got my data from Gamerankings, I only included games that had an 80% average score or higher.  I contemplated taking out remakes and compilations as well, but I felt if there was enough effort put into it, it counted (like the God of War, Sly, and Metroid Prime collections, the Resident Evil 4 and Okami Remakes, and the upcoming Team Ico collection (not yet added).  Downloads of old games like Symphony of the Night do not count.)  

buuuut I don't even know why I bothered saying all this, I guarantee someone will just tell me I'm biased even though I used hard, irrefutable numbers.
