Normally I'd hate to use the "PS3 users have so much choice and can't afford it" argument, but numbers don't lie.

This year on PS3, we've gotten the following retail exclusives:

LittleBigPlanet 2
ICO Collection
MLB 11: the Show
God of War: origins Collection
Killzone 3*
Resistance 3
inFamous 2
Disgaea 4
Yakuza 4
Prince of Persia Trilogy
Tomb Raider Trilogy
MotorStorm: Apocalypse
Socom 4

Plus we still have Ratchet and Clank: all 4 One, and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception on the horizon.


 


This is off topic and I apologize but I just have to say this.  I check out youtube fanboy videos and certain ones talk about how the PS3 had a major exclusive for every month of the year.  I've always wondered what those games were but I never really took the time to seek them out.  I consider myself an all around gamer.  I'll play FPS's (not my preferred genre but I play 'em), WRPG's, JRPG's, Racing, Puzzle, Party, Action Adventure (my favorite!), TPS's, Strategy, or what have you.  Just speaking for myself and myself alone, as an owner of a Wii, PS3, 360, DS, 3DS, and PSP, when it comes to having access to every game on the market and enough money to buy any game I want whenever I want it--that list is kinda.....meh.

Of this year's 2011 titles for PS3, I grabbed Little Big Planet 2 (great game!), No More Heroes (PS3 exclusive in the U.S.), Killzone 3 (traded it in after a couple of weeks), and that's it.  I'll definitely grab Uncharted 3 on day 1 and I'll eventually get God of War Origins Collection when it's incredibly cheap, though.  Again, I'll say that this is just my opinion but that list ain't all that.

Well I've picked up LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3, inFamous 2, Resistance 3, and the ICO collection, and they were all great so far.  I also have already Pre-ordered Drake and Ratchet and Clank due to their pedigree.  but the thing is, look at the variance in genres here: 

Platformer
Adventure
Sports
Action
Shooter
Shooter
Sandbox
JRPG
Sandbox
Adventure
Adventure
Racing
Shooter

again, pretty varied, but whatever.  Not posting in this thread anymore because evidently I'm a fanboy/troll every time I post.  

I figured I'd get quoted and I had already made up my mind not to respond to any posts but I will respond to yours.  There's nothing wrong with the list of games that you posted.  I don't think you're a fanboy, either.  I just watch a lot of youtube videos and some people list PS3 exclusives in an attempt to get a rise out of the 360 fanbase.  As one who walks the line between light and dark (how dramatic does THAT sound?  Pretty cool, eh?), I don't think either side has that much of an advantage over the other. 

It wasn't my intention to make you feel like you did anything wrong because you didn't.  You posted your thoughts/opinion and I responded with mine.  I made sure to say "In my opinion" as often as I could because I know that just because a game doesn't appeal to me, that doesn't mean that there aren't millions of people to whom said game will appeal.  At the same time, there are millions that would look at that list of games with apathy.  I'm one of those guys.  I'll end up with around 70-100 new games purchased between January 1st and December 31st, 2011 and not many of them will be PS3 exclusives.  The vast majority will be multi-platform which, from my particular point of view, offer more of what I like.  There's probably gamers out there that only care about the games you listed and will buy each and every one of them.  Who am I to judge?

Don't think I was attacking you and if I've quoted you in the past, don't take those personally, either (I don't remember if I did).  All I do is post my feelings and I don't hold back.  You shouldn't hold back, either.  If you don't post what you think, then what's the point?  Basically, what I'm saying is, I'm sorry if it seems like I'm against you.

See ya in the Chartz!
