Sony hasn't published anything incredibly big yet in the generation. Theres no point getting uptight about a remark on twitter about stuff we already know.


i'll take Sony's great offerings (great varied exclusives) over Microsoft's (only 3 exclusives) any day of the week.  i'm sure people can figure out which 3 i'm talking about.


What great offerings are those? Sony makes great rental games but at least those few Microsoft games have replayability and local multiplayer so therefore are worth owning. I would take one game to keep over 12 games which are only good for rentals.



Tease.

Gears of War and Halo 3 both have excellent local play. IMO its not worth owning, GOW3, Heavy Rain, RFOM 1/2, R C 1/2, MGS4, UC1/2 etc. Play them once and send them back. Once you've burnt through the story they give little incentive to play them again.



Tease.

Uhm...Uncharted 2 has a multi-player, and I've logged in 200 hours on it. What about Killzone 2, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, and inFamous. Sure, InFamous had only a story to it, but it was fun playing through it making different karma decisions. And MGS4 has a multiplayer as well with a skill tree....

i get plenty of replay value out of my exclusives i buy on ps3, but i can't say the same about my 360.  oh and multiplayer isn't my whole gaming life as i love single player more, but the few multiplayers i do like i'd rather play with my friends on psn for free.

also like i said i love variety in my games and the ps3 gives me that; all the 360 gives me is shooter after shooter after shooter.  thank god for Alan Wake but unfortunately it looks like 360 gamers didnt want it because it wasn't a shooter.

hahahahahahaha yea like i said i'd rather take the variety of those games from developers i love over the 3 exclusives (in this case the 2 you named here).   sorry dude i don't limit myself to just shooters especially one i don't like (halo), and another while pretty good (gears) with a crappy online (gears2)

man i tell ya if it wasnt for mass effect, splinter cell, and alan wake i wouldn't have even touched my 360 this year. while on my ps3 this year i've played Heavy Rain, GoW3, 3D Dot, RDR, Star Ocean Inter, ModNation, Dante's Inferno, Final Fantasy 13, WKC, Lost Planet 2, GTA Liberty City Stories, MLB10 The Show.  notice how among this list i have 6 exclusives from different genres?  that's right variety the very thing i was talking about.  so you go ahead and play your same 2 games over and over while i'll go on playing my variety of games.

YAWN!

Assumption is the mother of all... Anyway I play games which have great replayability. You don't get that from Sony. How many shooters has Sony bought out with decent local play? 0. With a console which defines itself as the central media centre for the main TV in the house why would I want to keep anything which cannot be played more than one person at once? My PC is a personal item and theres no expectation for local play which makes single player only games OK. My console is attached to a TV in a room which sees a lot of use. How can I even play a single player console game again if they are so lame as to be ultra violent, single player, no pick up and play?

Sure you can argue that Sony has some coop games but when Nintendo Wii is on that same TV why bother with Mod Nation when I can have Mario Kart, why bother with LBP when I have NSMB Wii? Why bother with God of War when I have Super Smash Bros Brawl? What else is left? Graphics? My HTPC crushes the PS3 in outright performance. My gaming PC is night and day vs my HTPC. Gameplay? I have a huge selection of games I already own on my PC which are outright as good as if not better than everything Sony has ever released this generation.

 

i get plenty of replay value out of my exclusives i buy on ps3, but i can't say the same about my 360.  oh and multiplayer isn't my whole gaming life as i love single player more, but the few multiplayers i do like i'd rather play with my friends on psn for free.

Theres more to gaming beyond the Xbox 360 and PS3. I suggest you explore the alternatives or you'll be forever saddled with low expectations if you define your experiences by what Sony offers you.

"Microsoft says Halo 3 has outsold a ton of Sony games via NPD"

Well, a game, including the box, is about 0.2 lbs. A ton is 2,000 lbs. So 2,000 divided by 0.2lbs equals 10,000 games. So yes, Halo has sold more than 10,000 Sony games.

i dont like mario kart or brawl, i do like NMBW wii but i haven't even finished it yet.  you seem to be a pc elitist to me so the only game(s) your probably playing are MW2, BFBC2 as you say you dont like single player.  to me that seems limited.  there are just time where i don't want to play with other people and a great single player experience is more rewarding them so regular old multiplayer. 

actually what makes this so called pc gaming better than console gaming? all 3rd party games are multiplatform and they play the exact same way across all platforms.  to me unique gaming experience are more important than just multiplayer and single player games bring that to the table for me.

oh and please enlightment to more gaming beyond ps3 and 360.  also please tell me what your playing that gives you such a great experience on PC or 360.
