so wait you are including ps3/pc and 360/pc?

No. Read the rules in the thread and the point I'm trying to make. It's all in the OP. The point is to show that contrary to popular belief, the 360 actually has a lot of true one platform exclusives.

 

 

yeah thats what i thought but i got confused and wanted to make sure.

wasnt fable 2 recently announced heading to pc?

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.

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?

 

I don't think I can. I didn't want to make any assumptions when doing this, just criteria I obtain from other places. If I seperate into genres, I would only do it based on another site's criteria like IGN, not my own since it would be assuming where some should be placed.

@Ninja-What would be quality? Where would I stop on the Metacritic?

 

Quality is entirely in the eye of the beholder but if we want to lean towards objectivity we might say that some things are clearly more quality than others Jay Z vs Soulja Boy for example , but in truth there is no such thing as subjective.

I'd probably rely on metacritic purley because there isn't a better way of comparing quality , that's not to say that metacritic is a good method in the first place.

The source is very questionable. If it's legitimate, more sites will pick the story up and I'll change Fable II to blue until it's PC release.

@Onyx

If there is no NA retail disc for SIREN then I would put it in the PSN list. I have seen SIREN in UK retail shops but only very rarely.

Yeah but where do I stop? 70? 60? 50? Quality on the Metacritic scale is 75 but there are a lot of gaming favorites below that. It looks to me that there isn't anything anybody has vouched for below 60. If I do this is that a good place to end?

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

In whose opinion, fanboy, yours? No thanks.

 

What does being a fanboy have to do with that ? . If I say console X has a better variety of games than console Y then I might mean one of two things.

A. Console X has comparable variety whilst maintaing a good or hight standard of quality.

B.Console X has a distinct advantage in the variety of games availible.

But since i'd assume everyone knows the 360 beats the PS3 in pure variety i'd imagine anyone whos said something alone the lines of the above statement would mean something along the lines of A.

It's not a multiplatform title until you have a choice what to buy it for. Right now you have no choice. You can play it on 360 or you can not play it. When the PS3 version comes out, it'll become a multiplatform title. Simple as that. Let it go.

@tombi-I'll remove SIREN and put it on the PSN list

@jesus-Thanks for the confirmation on Fable II.

When you say quality are you talking about "quality" are you reffering to high end graphics , quality writting , impressive soundtrack or simply how fun the game is to play ?

The prior can be compared more scientifcaly than the latter , if your basicaly trying to compare how fun 360 exclusives are in comparison to how enjoyable PS3 exclusives are then you've taken on a challenge I believe you won't succesfully be able to complete.
