I'm sorry but are you feigning ignorance here? Because certain games have certain similarities or are in the same genre, the two console's exclusives are somehow 'very much identical?' Please don't tell me this is real.

I'll ignore the first paragraph because it means nothing, unless you can convince me otherwise..

Over, what.... 95% of all games on PS360 are multiplat 3rd party titles and are identical.

Then you compare their first party titles.

Are they different games? Yes.

Are there games in each genre between the two companies that are comparable and overall similar? Yes.

To me, that means that the two consoles have nearly the same exact game library. Its not ignorant or wrong. Its just simple facts. PS360 are overall very much the same. Why do you think people have called them the "HD Twins" since 2006?


Microsoft does not have a flagship platformer, nor hack N slash, handfuls of flagships of platforming adventure titles, they do not have creation titles, They do not have intuative action adventure with their peripheral, They don't have a kart game .

Within their last surviving first party they have a shooter and a racer and they don't even know which genre their fable franchis is anymore...somewhere between action adventure and RPG, but now its a rails RPG or something.

It's not that Microsoft is the same as Sony. It's Sony has the genres Microsoft has and then some. 

95 percent of their games are not identical, their multiplat library is identical. Sony might be catching up in million sellers as a whole, but Sony has more successful exclusives and higher rated ones at that in percentage.  HD Twins doesn't refer to Microsoft and Sony's library but the fact that they are both Hi-Def gaming consoles unlike the Wii which has just above last gen graphics. I don't even think it hits 720p whereas the 360 and PS3 can be 720 natively but can be upscaled at 1080. Franchises like Uncharted, Killzone and God of War and GT5 on the PS3 thrive on 1080p though and are still unrivaled by the 360's exclusives in that department.
