Sony because they have a healthy balance of successful IP's and new IP's and they make good hardware innovations too, and in the past 5 years, they have been beating MS in online service as well.

With nintendo we have to put up with the same predictable range of games each generation and MS buy their exclusives so we would hardly notice if they vanished since the games from third party developers would still be made but for another platform.


Didn't know Fable, Project Gotham, Forza, Project Sylpheed, Infinite Undiscovery, Dead Rising, Alan Wake, Ninja Blade, Battleblock Theater, Shadow Complex, Super Meat Boy, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Kameo, Viva Piñata, Crackdown, Cromehounds, Bullet Witch, Onechanbara, Culdcept Saga, Deathsmiles, Akai Katana, Dodonpachi Revolution, The Dishwasher, The Gunstringer, Ninety-Nine Nights, Raskulls, 'Splosion Man and Too Human, among others, were bought by MS.

Oh man, what I learn everyday.

lol what a puney list... even then some of them like dead rising and super meat boy are not made by microsoft, im not gonna bother checking the entire list.

The fact that you automatically interpreted my comment as "MS bought every single one of their exclusives they have" and went on the defense shows how it is an issue.

im not saying its completely wrong to pay for exclusives, but if thats the default strategy for a company, then I would hardly call them essential for console gaming which is the purpose of this thread.

In that sense, Sony is much more essential because it employs the most AAA studios and more importantly, many of those studios are allowed a large degree of freedom... and a lot of the third party exclusives it does get is because MS didnt show interest in the game (same reason PS3 lost out on super meat boy, because of lack of interest shown)


How don't you expect to automatically interpret your comment as "MS bought every single one of their exclusives they have" if the next thing you say is "so we would hardly notice if the vanished [...]"?

Do you realize Dead Rising 3 wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Microsoft, right?

And most third party Ps3 gets it's because brand reknown, not because MS didn't show interest in the game (seriously, other than these new-age indies, and ocassionally the successful AAA game like Heavy Rain, when did MS not show interest in games?). There's no real reason as to why can't Ni No Kuni be on 360, for example. It's just the devs choose the japanese machine to release it. Simple as that.
