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.

Say hello to Gran Turismo. Also motorstorm franchise sold over 4 million

The article mistakenly refers to Bioshock as an exclusive which it never was. Overall, I disagree with the conclusion drawn by this article.

ps3 has awesome exclusives growing day after day.
i dont care very much of xbox and his line-up, but to me it doesnt seem so special.

MS will build more franchises. Sony took 2 generations to clarify true exclusive franchises. By the end of the 360's lifetime it should have at least 6-7 top franchises that it can carry themselves to the 720 as moneymakers.

sony has better exclusives, CONFIRMED

Hundreds more? Name em O_o

OT: The best thing, IMO, is to build your own exclusive empire vs buying exclusives, but to each his own.

Rumble Masseuse, TV Calibration, No Frills Sudoku... need I go on?

Sony
MGS
Gran Turismo
God ov War
Killzone
Uncharted
LBP
Resistance
ICO games
= 8 big franchises

MS
Halo
Gears ov War
Fable
Forza
Mass Effect
= 5 big franchises

(smaller franchises like Ninja Gaiden, Ratcher and Clank, Viva Pinata, Motosperm, Project Gofam Racing, Hevenli sword and Banjo arent worth mention)

Timed Exclusives are on of the big things this gen.....companies make more money by getting paid for time exclusives and still releasing on multiple consoles in the future.



PREDICTIONS:
(Predicted on 5/31/11) END of 2011 Sales - Xbox 360 = 62M;  PS3 = 59M;  Wii = 97M
