Here is this month's list of newly announced exclusives: http://www.gamingtarget.com/article.php?artid=725 PS3: 3 new exclusive titles announced
360: 5 new exclusive titles announced
Wii: 37 new exclusive titles announced That's an enormous swing: given that the PS3 and Wii had nearly identical totals of exclusives when they were launched, the Wii now has 2.5 times as many. |
2.5x as many - as launch exclusives, you mean. Going by your numbers, the Wii is getting 7.4x more exclusives than the 360, and 12.3x the number of exculsives compared to the PS3; combining both the PS3 and 360 you still get 4.6x the number os exclusives. |
That's some cute math, but completely disregards the games that are just on the 360 and PS3 as I've said. |
There. I've highlighted the relevant points to facilitate your reading comprehension. I specifically stated that "going by your (Bodhesatva's) numbers..." What you posted afterwards is kind of hard for me to take into account, becuse unfortunately I lack the clairvoyant skills to preempt what you will say in the future. And yes, I have an innate ability to make numbers look cuddly and gorgeous. Thanks for the compliment. |
You are still ignoring all the games announced for the 360 and PS3 that will not be on the Wii. You can not "combine" the PS3 and 360 exclusives and get 4.6 times the exclusives for the Wii because you aren't including the games that are on both the PS3 and 360, such as the many I named above. |
I am not ignoring ANYTHING. I was simply REFERRING to Bodhesatva's numbers. You have an issue with that? Bring it up with Bodhesatva. Not me. From HIS NUMBERS, my CUTE math is as SOUND AND ACCURATE as math can possibly be. |
"combining both the PS3 and 360 you still get 4.6x the number of exclusives" because you do not include the games that are on the 360 and PS3 that are still "exclusive" from the Wii. |
You can't do that. I've already explained why repeatedly. Here we go:
1) You cannot make a "Wii vs. every other platform in the world" scenario. Obviously, Microsoft and Sony will not agree to this -- the simplest examples are Grand Theft Auto IV and the timed exclusivity of UT3. Is GTA coming to both platforms? Sure. But Microsoft paid millions to establish exclusive content. Similarly, Sony sent engineers to Epic to help optimize the UE3 engine for the PS3: both companies are fighting tooth and nail for these multi-platform titles.
2) The combination of 360/PC/PS3 clearly casts the PS3 in a more favorable light than it deserves. It easily has the least exclusive titles, the lowest install base, and the lowest number of quality exclusives both available and in production. As I've said, you've used this technique repeatedly, trying to latch the PS3 on to the 360. The 360 has twice the number of exclusives and nearly three times the install base.
One last time, for emphasis: you cannot convince me that Sony and Microsoft would be happy to combine the PC, 360 and PS3 platforms just so they could reasonably compete against Nintendo.
