Forums - Gaming - Do we buy exclusive games on our console of choice even if we don't want them?

most of my games are multiplatform

I don't. Uncharted 2 didn't appeal to me enough to buy Uncharted 3, for example. I gave LBP and one of the Ratchet & Clank games a chance because I got them for really cheap during Christmas but I probably won't buy another from either series. When I was a Nintendo fan with the NES and SNES I didn't like Mario games at all--I own three, but they were all either included or bought super cheap used with a bunch of other games.

That's why it always puzzles me when someone does the "Playstation fans don't support Playstation exclusives" garbage. I know they mean it as an insult but to me that's like saying I'm not a fanboy. It's a compliment, if anything.



I just buy the ones I want. sometimes I just give in on others say about a game.



Nope. I only buy the games I want. Don't care if it is an exclusive or not. I own a 360, but don't like any exclusives for it except Halo 4. I'm saving to buy a PS3, because I love the exclusives. Multiplats I'll buy on the 360.



I mainly buy multiplats and very few exclusives. Not that Xbox exclusives don't interest me or that they're not enough, but I don't have time to play that many games. In fact, I only own Halo games and a couple other exclusives. Many people here complain that PS3 gets way more exclusives than the 360, but I don't find this a problem at all. I haven't even played some of the biggest exclusives for the 360 like Gears or Forza before. Some of my friends who own PS3's always use that point that Xbox hardly gets exclusives, but the games that Sony releases don't interest me either with the exception of a few like Unchartered. Overall, I'm happy with the amount and quality of Xbox exclusives and don't just buy them for the sake of them being exclusives.

i dont do that. i just buy the games that i want. for example im a sony fan and i HATE infamous, i just hated the first one, and i got it for free after the sony hack in 2011.
though i must admit that exclusives catch my eye more than multiplats, i check out exclusives more in a way. but i would never chose one over a multiplat if the exclusive interests me less

im pretty sure everybody has more multiplatform games than exlusives but here on the site users tend to ignore multiplats as much as they can



No. Starhawk sales are proof of this.

You mean except the Nintendo fans. 

We are an evil bunch.

I think a lot of Nintendo-fans feel obligated to buy games
