The PS3 gets praise for getting so many exclusives, but it should be noted most of them aren't particularly great and have modest sales. Some of their IPs have even seen a sharp decline.
Ultimately, the 360 has Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable, and Kinect. I personally think that outweighs Sony's line up which is why 360 is still going strong. |
I'm not a fan of shooters, racers, and motion controlled games so the PS3 will have more going for me than the Xbox 360. But in terms on catering to the masses in general, the titles you mention will outweigh the PS3's line up. In fact, Alan Wake and Fable appeal FAR more to me than the other titles you mentioned, but they are nowhere near as financially successful than the titles you mentioned. So sales in not the issue here.

There are more good 360 exclusives than the ones I mentioned, but I was more so focusing on titles that push hardware.
Eitherway, the 360 library as a whole has plenty of variety. The exclusives account for a small fraction of overall sales on both HD platforms.

The first three years of the 360's life had variety and then it all went down hill after that. It all changed as soon as the third party games they were getting were no longer seen as exclusives and they were stuck fending for themselves. They rode out the deals they made this gen and cashed in on Gears of War. It was the same games from that point forward. Shooter, shooter, shooter. I'm also hearing they want another shooter thats like Uncharted 3. Awesome Microsoft, way to think for yourself. :)

The cancellation of "Cry On" was the turning point for me with the Xbox. At that point, I knew that MS was going in a different direction than my tastes. Even third party-wise, PS3 has more that appeals to me when you consider Valkyria, Yakuza, Tales of Graces, Xillia (hopefully), Ni No Kuni, etc.
