Based on the amount of games offered the PS3 is at this moment the gamers console. The Xbox 360 may have the most popular games, but the fewest exclusives and a has the longest exclusive droughts for the past three years. The Wii U is coming out so we can excuse the Wii while it bows out. The casual market was had been used up and moved onto the next gimmick in the Kinect a year earlier and it hurt the Wii. The Wii had a good four years on top, but as all casual things, it never lasts.

More exclusives =/= best games library. The Wii has the most exclusives. Why don't you consider that console to be the gamers consoleBe

Because its Ninty, even better why dont Sony gamers even support Sony games?


PS3 exclusives are selling fairly well. The problem with them is that they aren't household names like Zelda and Mario.  GOW, Uncharted, LBP, GT5 sold very well though. Its been a very good gen for known titles and new IP's on the Sony platform. There are plenty of games that deserve to sell better for sure, but then again I've spoken to a lot of gamers (mostly 360 owners who live near me) and they don't even know the majority of PS3 exclusives exist when you have a conversation. After you bring them up to date they are like "WTF really?" This is truly showing how great Nintendo and Microsofts marketing has been and how dreadfully poor Sonys has been this gen. This really needs to change or else it will hurt Sony worse than they are already hurting.

Selling fairly well compared to what? They arent household names for a reason. They are highly overhyped games without the sells to even back their hype up. Good for new ips my ass, Wiisports was a new ip and sold extremely high. Wii fit did as well, Mario was a new ip back in the day and so was Pokemon, both did very well. Sony's new ips cant even crack 5 million yet you claim they did well. Here's the problem, you guys are so quick to compare Sony and Ninty but dont want to compare them commercially. You guys are quick to point out reviews which are opinions of a single person, but dont ever want to bring up sells. You guys blame marketing but have no proof of Sony providing poor marketing. I see commercials for the PS3 alot and yet their games still sell no where near as well. Where is this proof of poor marketing by the way or is it just another excuse.


PS3 exclusives are far from overhyped. If you pay attention you know just as well as any that Sonys achilles heel is their marketing. Xbox 360 exclusives are the most hyped as far as commercialization in the west. Be my guest if you can show me a game that has had more air time than Halo and Gears this gen. Super Mario sold extremely well because it and Duck Hunt were bundled with the original SNES and continued to be bundled with the consoles. Eventually it stuck and could sell regardless of bundles or not. I dont know if they did but when Uncharted launched I never saw special edition PS3's with Uncharted, InFamous 2, GOW or anything like it during the launch of these games. Usually its a little after when they get their initial sales. Sonys exclusives are quality, you don't have to like them, but they are KNOWN for making quality titles that are highly rated and endorse high amounts of creativity. The only place Sony has fallen behind is in multiplayer experience. if you want to compete against Xbox exclusives which majorly depend on online gameplay Sony's exclusives must do the same on par with them. The only company STILL continuing to make great core and indy exclusives into 2014 without stopping is Sony. You don't have to like them...just deal with the existence of those truths.
