Not sure why you disagree. Last year 360 was down 29% and it had Halo.

Last year PS3 was down 20% and it had nothing.  You think it drops another 35% based on what?

PS3 had 28 exclusives in 2012. It only had "nothing" because the PS3 gamers decided to make nothing of it.

You have a list of those exclusives, so we can determine how significant they were?  The only one I can think of that would have pushed any HW was PSABR. Were most PSN titles ?

The list I had compared to Halo 4 were all retail.

Some games could have been a hit if the gamers just bought them more. Starhawk, Twisted Metal come to mind. LBP Karting and especially Battle Royale could have been elevated to something greater then what they were. Its not like Smash Brothers had a massive budget yet its a beloved franchise, same with mario kart. The games IMO were worthy, its the gamers that let them down.

Beta for PSABR turned me off. It isn't satisfying to hit something in that game. But yeh, could have been a hit.

LBP Karting, never really heard anything about it. Sounds too similar to ModNation Racers.

Twisted Metal is a franchise they tried to revive from ps1 era. Come on...no chance at success.

Games were not worthy, none of those were destined to be big sellers. PSABR maybe "somewhat successful", certainly not comparable to a Halo at all, not even comparable to an Uncharted. Sales reflect that. 

Compare those games to 2013 - Ni No Kuni, The Last of Us, The Last Guardian, Beyond: Two Souls, Puppeteer, Until Dawn, Agent(?)

Then non-exclusives like GTA V, Crisis 3, Watch Dogs.

It's gonna be a huge year in comparison.

Sony had nothing?? Weird because I recall a crappy redesign. Then a sales boost with the 12gb Ps3.
