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.

How bout actually prove Sony's achilles heel is marketing lol. Excuses is all you have. But i love pointing out the flaws in your argument so here we go. First off you say Halo and Gears have alot of air time, which doesnt make a difference lol, you make it sound as if games need alot of air time to sell super well. Gears and Halo do have alot of air time (which you cant prove either) but Mario and Pokemon still outsell them so what exactly is Sony's excuse. Whats so different about Sony's marketing now compared to the past lol. Not much, its just you cant get over the fact that nobody wants their games. Its not a lack of marketing its a lack of appeal. Do some research, Sony bundles way more different games then Ninty, its just Sonys tend to fail. The rest of your post is just full of how much i love Sony so no need to even respond. "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 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." Wow this is why you cant come up with good responses. You love Sony so much you dont want to see the truth of how they cant make a decent selling game to save their lives, just ask the Vita and its dire situation.

Your bias blinds you. Sony cant make a decent selling game? Of course they can. Most people don't even know about InFamous, Mod Nation Racers, Starhawk and the like. Most PS3 exclusives sell over an extended period of time. All the games you've ignored have sold more than decent which are over 1-7 million in copies including third parties which on both the 360 and PS3 are the highest. The smartest bundle Sony has ever used was in the creation of the Motorstorm bundle during the PS3 launch. New IP, new game....easiest way to endear people to your product. The problem is they should've started with Uncharted

What do third parties have to do with our discussion? Wow please stop just grasping for straws and actually tell me what a decent selling game is. Sony has one game that can reach 7 million why even include that one franchise, its called an outliner. 99% of Sony's games cant even crack 4 million lol. How about this, if Sony's games sell decent then Cod, GTA, Mario, Pokemon, etc must be godly to you. That was a horrible bundle, nobody wants Motorstorm like the rest of Sony's exclusives. Sony should bundle games people want, not just bundle just to bundle. You can expose a turd all you want, at the end of the day it will still sell like a turd.
