new thread, replaces this one, includes xbox games: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=128625
this is a list of all playstation exclusives. for it to be included on the list. it has to have either a Gameranking or Metacritic score above 80. i included the ign score as well, but a game will not be on the list if it has >80 ign score but not metacritic/gamerankings.
i also left off casual/party games, or just arcady type games, also no psn only games. (so a game like Singstar is not on the list, and neither is some download only game). also no move only games. This list is mostly AAA and AA titles only.
what makes it exclusive?:
-not on any other system
-only on a PlayStation
- different enough from its psp, ps2 counterparts (so games like MLB: The Show count)
if you think that i missed any games please tell me and i will add it.

the PS3 exclusive list didnt start off with a bang, though some games just missed the cut (like Ridge Racer). but it has been a tour de Force for several years now.
so as you can see with the scores, ign seems to score game slighlty higher. especially earlier in this gen. early in the ps3 life cycle ign ranked the ps3 games fairly high in comparison to others, but interesting enough lately that does not seem to be the case. you might be able to see a trend starting in late 2010, ign started rating games either very close to the gameranking and metacritic score, or below it. that is especially evident in 2011
