What gets even better is the Playstation fans that find out games like Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean, and others are exclusive to the Xbox 360 and comfort themselves every time by saying ".....But it'll come to PS3! Eventually!" - Even if they never do.
See, the issue is that we're not only getting all of these former Playstation exclusives, it's the fact that the Xbox has about 20 other exclusives like Mass Effect, Gears of War, Dead Rising, and so on that the Playstation doesn't have. You forget that there are tons of 3rd party IPs that never have seen the light on the Playstation 3. And why is it that the X360 has 15+ games that are rated above 90% on Metacritic/Gamerankings, while the Playstation 3 only has 5? If the Playstation 3 had the same games the X360 had, it'd be much closer to 15, but it's not.

Don't get me wrong...I'm not denying that the 360 benifits from a few great exclusives. My argument is this: People should get on deck with the fact that most of these third party IP's are going to start going multiplat now that the Wii is dominating both HD consoles.
Just take yourself back to how big of a deal was made about the FFXIII going multiplat...and Assassins Creed, Devil May Cry and GTAIV being released simultaniousley, and Resident Evil, and....the list keeps on going (fuck even Fatal Inertia was bown out of proportion)! I have not seen half as many threads that are about how PS3 got Lost Planet.. or Eternal Sonata, or Bioshock (the highest rated 360 exclusive based on Gamerankings and Metacritic).
I wish more people were like you and appreciated the 360 for true titles like Gears and Lost Oddyssey - titles which make the console what it is. Having a game release on the 360 when it is also releasing on another console is great because it gives more people the chance to play it...but it is nothing to be so fucking proud of. To me it makes the 360 fan base seem weak...just an oppinion.
IF you really don't get what I am trying to say...think about how little bragging we have heard from the Wii side of this story about Monster Hunter...and that went exclusive to Wii.
BTW I have no idea how you can mention Dead Rising in the same freaking sentence as Mass Effect and Gears of War.
