S.T.A.G.E. said:
Of course Playstation can stand up to the Xbox on its own, its called first party. Everyone says third party exclusives keep dwindling but as long as MS is in the gaming industry third party exclusives will continue to run rampant, especially at the beginning of the gen. These are the same tactics they used this gen for the first three years of the 360's lifespan. I bought all of those games too like the Condemned, Bioshock and others. You can't use the counter argument of exclusives in the same context as you do MS as far as PC exclusives are concerned such as Left 4 Dead 1 & 2, Kotor1 &2, Jade Empire, Alan Wake, Minecraft, Divinity, Witcher 2....yes I've played them all on the Xbox and Xbox 360 . MS popularized taking PC exclusives to make up for their inadequate first party for two generations now. They screwed Sony gamers out of Gears of War, and oh yeah...if Sony were to ever get a timed exclusive on them you're screwed because their policy doesn't allow for late games. |
Your history lesson about MS stills fails to acknowledge the strides they are obviously making in their own 1st party software. 3rd party exclusives/timed + their 1st party games are a winning strategy and sustainable, unlike 360s strategy
