Forums - Microsoft - Does the 360 have any real exclusives?

Pretty much what I would expect from a console released with no competition a year beforehand.

Many of the lower-quality games are early releases, it seems (where just about every title was an exclusive). That makes sense, IMO.  Graphs showing quality and quantity of releases over time would be very cool  (say a "release" lasts for 1 full year, and the graph shows the sum of exclusives that are "shelf worthy" at any one time).

No competition? It had serious competition from the PS2. Furthermore the reason why the PS3 is picking up good games at a faster rate is largely due to the fact that the Xbox 360 paved the way for these multi-platform games before it was released.

 

If we're including the PS2, and re-doing the list as "Sony exclusives" rather than PS3 exclusives (which lack a years worth of competition with the 360)... that'd kinda be an uninteresting list, don't you think?  2005/2006 were great years for the PS2.

 

Im not including the PS2... All im saying is that the Xbox 360 established the HD userbase early. If it wasn't as large or the PS3/360 launched at the same time then the rates would be different. The PS3 launched into different market conditions to the Xbox 360 in a large part due to the sales the Xbox 360 had managed to eek together in that first year. Remember the reliability and supply issues? It was a terrible year.

 



Tease.

If I give you $60 can you go to Target and buy me the PS3 or PC version? If not then it's exclusive. Exclusive means available on one platform right? That's what I heard. When Last Remnant no longer is exclusive, it will leave the list.

@Barozi

Can you get me a link on that? I heard SIREN had a retail disc for PAL territories. I'll switch it to the PSN list if it's not true. Destroy All Humans will be removed when another version comes out. Hour of Victory is coming off.

 

 

Perhaps you could mark temporary exclusives as such, then, since you're trying to create the illusion of being unbiased.

Why are some people in this thread trying so hard to be annoying?

Just a suggestion... stop crying about people's biases and discuss the matter at hand...

Fair request. I'll incorporate it. Thanks.

Also I'm not trying to create any illusion of being unbiased. I own both consoles and I prefer my 360. There is my bias. If you have a problem with my criteria used being biased, then speak up, otherwise just let it go. My bias doesn't change what's written in my post. Anyone going through the exact same criteria would have come to the exact same conclusion I did.

There is no 'illusion' here - he already stated that as these games become available on other systems they will be removed.

This is presenting the facts for 'right now'. 

Onyx another popular belief is that the PS3 has a 'better variety of exclusives' - could you arrange the lists by genre?

Surely "better variety" would imply variety with quality as opposed to pure variety .

In whose opinion, fanboy, yours? No thanks.

If this is a comparison of exclusives its not fair to include the releases prior to the PS3 release.



Groucho on 26 January 2009

Honestly I think the 360 deserves to list its PC crossplats, as long as they are not also on the PS3, and the PS3 deserves the PSP/PS2 cross-plat games it gets as well.

IMO you have to factor in that the 360 is an easy platform to port to/from the PC, when trying to decide which console (PS3/360 only) is more worthwhile. I suppose you could argue that PCs are so commonplace, that this is less of a factor that it first seems, but I would argue that not many people own *gaming* PCs as capable as the 360, and thus, it should count fully.

I think this list will be not very useful without that inclusion.  I also think that, if you graph quality and quantity over time from release, the PS3 might look pretty impressive by comparison -- most of those 1st year titles aren't even available any longer.  Maybe you should just chop off that first low-quality year from the 360 all-together.

Or... lol nm.  I should make my own chart if I'm gonna complain about the integrity of yours, eh?

You forgot Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty. It has been released at retail in Europe.

Also, I can't believe Naruto: The Broken Bond is rated higher than Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm.

If we take 80% to be games worthy of purchase, then after 1 year extra on the market the 360 only has 3 more exclusives worth purchasing. Thats not exactly great.

 

Thats what online gameplay and better fighting system does for you. The J man doesnt like naruto the show but really loves the games.

A better fighting system? What game did you play?
