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? |
Goodness gracious. I'm actually pretty stunned here, such a narrow minded thing to post. Oh well, I guess I'm guilty of it sometimes as well.
Let's start. 95% of all games are multiplat and identical. While 95% probably isn't correct, that's not the problem here. Are you saying that because 95% of books are generic shit, the other 5% ( a few tens of thousands, probably) show that books are not varied? Nah, that's stupid, how many books does one read out of the millions available? I'll take one or two thousand varied books at most thanks, that's enough for any human.
Same applies to this console's library. We are human. The average human that plays games will not be playing 30-50 games a year on just one console, they have other commitments and other consoles. That remaining 5% of 'uniqueness' is all that we need. You act as if we play 100% of those titles, or even 25% would be a stretch.
"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. "
Ok so you said 'to me', which is good, but I'm attacking this crazy point of view regardless.
1. Being in the same genre or having similar themes does in no way make the games equal. I mean I can't believe I'm explaining this. Trying to claim that every RPG is like every RPG or every TPS is like every TPS etc is just craaaaaaaaazy. People love and hate games in the same genre, because they're different. Justify this point, because I can't see how anybody can.
2. Thing is, there are a TON of experiences on my PS3 that I can't play on a 360. (Again, 'a ton' is relative to the amount of games I will play per year because I'm a human being, not relative to some number on a spreadsheet, because we're not robots.) Journey, flow, flower, heavy rain, yakuza, where is my heart, .detuned, motorstorm, LBP, folklore, linger in shadows, echochrome, NOBY NOBY BOY (whoo!), pixeljunk eden, tori-emaki, afrika, siren, valkyria chronicles and whatever the hell I'm missing. But I suppose I should stress again, almost every other exclusive game is unique enough too, as I mention above, this is just a list of experiences I do not find on the 360, and I'm sure that console can come up with another list too.
I think they're both called the HD twins because they both output HD resolutions. What's your point.
