Agreed with bolded, disagree with italicized/underlined. It's like saying that Call of Duty mw/ bo is better than Mass Effect/Forza 3 etc. They buy the game because of hype or many other possible reasons.

I absolutely despise FPS (always get dizzy when I play them), but still bought Killzone 2 and 3 because some friends of mine like them (plus they were really cheap). It's a reason to invite them over and then play Tekken 6

People buy the games they think give them the most bang for their buck and most of the bestselling multiplatform games aren't one-hit-wonders, so it's safe to say that these games do hold high value for PS3 owners. Five years after launch, there's a pattern of consistency and it shows that exclusives aren't the prefered choice of the average PS3 owner.

A breakdown of the top 50 in five steps:

 

• Top 10 (7 multiplatform/3 exclusives)
• Top 20 (14/6)
• Top 30 (19/11)
• Top 40 (26/14)
• Top 50 (32/18)

I didn't account for bundled games, so this breakdown favors exclusive games.

People obviously don't really care whether the game they purchase is exclusive or not. They just look for the best games, period.

 

It seems that we're talking about two differetn things. I argue that Call fo Duty games are not the best in quality, while you argue that they are the best in value. Since Man-bear-pig doesn't specify what kind of "best" he refers to, I guess we're both right in a way.

Also, @underlined. Not necessarily. There are so many ps3 exlusives that it's hard to argue that the average ps3 owner doesn't care about ps3 exclusives.

E.g. Say I bought a ps3 for infamous, but don't like Uncharted 2 or Killzone 2. A friend got a ps3 for Heavenly Sword and Gow, but couldn't care less about Demon's Souls. The sales seem to be widespread, hence the number of ps3 million sellers vs wii ones, despite the huge lead of the latter in hardware sales.
