Valkyria Chronicles is already out in Japan, so I didn't consider it (although I suppose it's fair as someone from NA). FFXIII Versus definitely counts, though.

Not that the 360 has significantly better third party exclusives, though. Most of what they have is just extra stuff like Fallout exclusive DLC.

And no, Gears of War, Mass Effect and Ninja Gaiden II are not third party games, folks.

I'll name off real titles, not vaporware.

BlazBlue
Heavy Rain
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm
Valkyria Chronicles
Disgaea 3
Yakuza: Kenzan
Way of the Samurai 3
L.A. Noire
Nobi Noby Boy
Final Fantasy Versus XIII

Out of those I have a good feeling BlazBlue, Heavy Rain, Valkyria Chronicles, Nobi Nobi Boy and L.A. Noire will go multiplatform. Naruto I have confidence will sit still as exclusive and I have a 50/50 feeling on Disgaea 3, Way of the Samurai 3, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and Yakuza: Kenzan

 

They really do not seem to pay for exclusives . Personally I think their First/Second party lineup compares favorably with the third-party exclusives MS gets but its true the PS3 has almost no third-party exclusives left.

But again for two systems with similar userbases and very similar capabilities (esp. almost level GPUs) keeping a game exclusive simply doesn't make economic sense. Its more of a waste of money. I don't know how much MS pays for Gears/Mass Effects/Fable etc. must be a pretty penny if not a rather handsome dollar.

(On the other hand Sony of course looses money in not porting its games for the 360, money not earned is the same as money spent)

360 Third Party Exclusives

Dance Dance Revolution Universe 3
Guilty Gear 2 Overture
Infinite Undiscovery
Mobile Ops: The One Year War
Naruto: The Broken Bond
Race Pro
Spectral Force 3
Tales of Vesperia
You're In the Movies
Zoids Assault
Battlestations-Pacific
Star Ocean: The Last Hope

Battlestations: Pacific will most likely go multi, and I give 50/50 for Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery and Star Ocean. Everything else I think is staying put.

 

Don't you guys know that 360 has no exclusives. Since most go to pc, they should not be considered exclusive. LOL.

I just thought I would help you out and add the smilie at the end of your statement. You seem to have forgotten it.

 

Just to further emphasize the point that SSJ and I were making (in slightly different ways), observe NPD's top 10 games for the PS3 and 360 last month:

360                                                PS3                                                          
Ninja Gaiden II                              Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Grand Theft Auto IV                       Grand Theft Auto IV
Battlefield: Bad Company              Battlefield: Bad Company
Lego Indiana Jones: TOA               Lego Indiana Jones: TOA
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare     Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Grid                                                Grid
The Bourne Conspiracy                  The Bourne Conspiracy
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith                  Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
Rock Band                                      Gran Turismo: Prologue

 

 

These are nearly identical systems with nearly identical target demographics. The only real difference are the few exclusives.

I'm so surprised (sarcasm)

3rd party exclusives are DEAD to me

hmm it could happen
