Most of those Playstation exclusives are dead weight and don't carry any selling power for software or hardware. We all saw Socom,warhawk, motorstorm do nothing. Only nintendo exclusives today are strong. Nothing can compare to pokemon,mario,zelda,kirby,wario, or even wii fit. Microsoft has halo and fable that carries weight. But Xbox does have much much more third party exclusives.

Did Microsoft release its hidden 2009 exclusive catalog to this guy?  Compare announced exclusive titles between the platforms and you will see a problem with this article.  Ninja Gaiden 2 was released in 2008, it is not a 2009 exclusive.

Microsoft biggest 2 exlcusive franchises are Halo and Gears of War.  Gears of War is owned/controlled by Epic and it is all but certain to go multiplatform in future installments. 

I agree that Sony was able to stockpile franchises over the last 15 years, but just look at this generation.  Sony has developed new IP that will have sequels for years to come, Motorstorm, Resistance, Uncharted, and inFamous.  What new franchises have MS given us, Too Human?

In terms of exclusive titles, 2006 and 2007 were clearly in MS's favor, and so it should be since it is an older platform.  But you could make a strong argument that 2008 is in Sony's favor, at least a tie.  GT5p/MGS4/Resistance 2/Motorstorm 2 compared to Fable 2/Gears of War 2/L4D (MS only controls 1 of these franchises.

In terms of announced 2009 titles, Sony's catalog looks to be far superior to MS's.  We will see how the year shapes up, but either MS has become very good at concealing its game release schedule or they are going to let the success of 2009 ride on exclusive DLC releases.

MS has decided to focus less on first party exclusives, well Sony and Nintendo continue to. They are trying to use third party exclusives I am not sure its the best strategy but it is a different direction

@tacoboy

Gran Turismo is bigger than any exclusive Microsoft has

You dig out everything don't you man. VG-money, money money, wot!
love it man...

i think that the article should of mentioned that the 360 has hundreds more exclusive games than the ps3 does.

The title says PS3 has no exclusives, but the guy praises the strength of Sony's franchises? WTF?
He should praise the franchises, but he doesn't mention the PS3's lack of exclusives which he points out in the title?

My conclusion =

PS3 has exclusives AND a lot of 1st party franchises
360 has exclusives, DLC and a few (few, but awesome) 1st party franchises

lol.....I try to dig out many things

It isn't really that hard if you know where to go...

@darthdevidem01

I think people are just reading your thread title and then posting. :(

The article actually has a point, but that is to be expected since Sony has been in the business longer.

MS doesn't own Gears of War.
