....a multiplatorm game that scores a 95 on gamerankings/metacritic or an system exclusive that scores 85 on gamerankings/metacritic?



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

For A system... An exclusive at 85+. Because a multiplatform 95+ game will do nothing for a specific platform to boost sales!

Exclusives, aways.



 

 

 

 

 

Exclusive, because they are what differentiate consoles at the end of the day



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

That depends. Personally, I don't think either means a flying fart. Look at games like Wii Sports, Wii Play etc. Look at threir scores. Then look at their sales.

Exclusives, no matter the rating. You think the bad reviews for Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Wii Fit have hurt Nintendo any?



which would you guys rather have?

I'd rather have a 95 rating game no matter what system it's on than a 85 rating one. To me, it's all about gameplay. Who cares bout the platform.
