I don't get it.  There was a thread for true exclusives and there's this thread for console exclusives.  Those with a problem with this thread can go there.  Those with a problem with that thread can come here.

Indeed. To me, the console exclusive titles should be considered, because they usually had quite an impact specifically for the console they were on (like Gears of War & Fable III).

I have nothing against true exclusives (after all, an exclusive is an exclusive), but in this case, I wanted 360/PC games to be considered for Microsoft's end.

Yeah I've never really understood the confusion with a console exclusive.  The PC isn't a console, I'm sorry.  Sure it plays games but its in a totally seperate generation and in terms of user base and architecture and such its quite different as well.  A console exclusive is an exclusive at the end of the day because the PS3 and 360 are competing with each other but not with the PC.  Neither MS or Sony view PC as a competitor due to the big differences between them and odds are people who are deciding which console to buy look at the "console exclusive" games as TRUE exclusives as well.  Especially the casual gamer who has no idea if its on the PC.  They'll just walk into their local gamestore, look at the shelves for the two differenct consoles and decide which one has games they prefer the other doesn't.

And the VAST majority of gamers are "casual gamers".  Trust me I've worked in game retail for years and well over 50% of the user base of both the PS3 and 360 would be labeled as a "casual gamer" by most of the users on here.

I assume this is about software sales and not the impact these "console exclusives" had a console, so there is no point including them. Why don't you just make a thread for the impacts "exclusives" had on hardware. This is a comparison of software that is found exclusively on a platform, not the impacts on a console. I have no problem with this thread, other than the ignoring of the wii, because, as D21lewis said, there is a thread for actual exclusives. Lastly, I think you guys may need a new term for what you call "console exclusives" because the true meaning of it is when a game is available on consoles, and not the pc.

cgi this is a cool thread in concept but its stupid that you count the pc games as exclusives, they are not. i have never owned an xbox, yet i have owned and beat L4D

u should make another thread comparring exclusives.

im not trying to be mean, but merely suggesting you should do this


Either way PS3 still loses. Get over it.

Don't mean to be offensive, but I'm not exactly someone with a lack of creativity when making threads. A quick history check would do you some good.

And really, I only made this thread at the request of reasonable poster(s) that felt yours lacked some of what it was going after - tracking exclusive game titles. The point of this thread was to eliminate unreasonable stipulations as to what belonged on the list and what didn't.

Okay sorry I never knew that and I know my last comment was a bit harsh. I wasn't in a good state of mind so i took out my anger on you. But i think you might want to move out Kinect adventures and sports champions.

Alrighty guys, the OP should be accurate. I added DoA 4 but didn't add Call of Duty 2 because it was also on PS2.

The Call of Duty 2 that was on 360 is a completely different game than Call of Duty: Big Red One that was on PS2.  Different campaigns, different developers, etc.

Splinter Cell Double Agent was completely different on the PS3/360 than it was on Xbox or PS2, but none of them would count as exclusives.

Haha CoD2 Big Red One is a spin-off to the Call of Duty series before Activision let Treyarch officially work on Call of Duty 3.

Think of FF Versus XIII. It wouldn't be exclusive either since it's on the 360 under the name of FFXIII.

I think with Kinect Adventures costing $150 its sales are pretty impressive and should stay.

What is useless about it? There is already another thread comparing PS3 and 360 exclusives with the ones he wants taken out. No need to create a third. His comment useless.



LBP is for the psp too :P
