Forums - Microsoft - Is this X360 exclusive Fall 2009 lineup enough to battle Sony?

@Slimebeast : that's all you MS fanboys can play now, 'sales'. Is 'sales' a nice game ? I prefer Killzone 2, sorry. I'm a gamer, I don't care about sales. Do you work for Microsoft ? If not, then you shouldn't care that much about sales.

When you say Fable 2 Gears 2, I can add to LBP and MGS4 games like Motorstorm 2, Valkyria Chronicles, Disagea 3, GT5 prologue and tons of other exclusives, while you can't add anything on 360 as exclusives, so it's a nice spin, but no really.

2009 PS3 lineup is actually quite strong, from Infamous, to Yakuza 3, Killzone 2, God of war 3, Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2 and tons more. If you think that a Halo expansion pack and some DLC can compete with that, then there's nothing I can do for you.

@ali : no they can't think about that, that's too complicated for them as an idea.

@RAZ : ah ah of course they could stop with gaming, that's not at all their core business and they already lost billions on Xbox 1.

Sony have lost even more in a shorter space of time with less consoles and games sold.

They have nothing except Halo as franchise. Gears is from Epic and could go 3rd party.


So you're basically saying MGS doesn't count either?

And Forza is a dwarf compared as Gran Turismo as a franchise, it's the poor man's GT actually. Go watch sales numbers, GT franchise sold dozens of millions worldwide...

Living in the past much? Gran Turismo hasn't been relevant since 2004, it was Sonys last blockbuster. It's not surprising really, the last 2 Forza games outscored the last 2 Gran Turismos, and the last one out sold it. GT just isn't what it used to be, but then neither is Playstation.

MS can't buy GT and GoW since it's Sony owned, and that's too bad since they're the two biggest franchises.

Fable's a bigger franchise then god of war now, plus it's going to continue, god of war 3 is it, the end and Sony won't have anything.
Truth is Sony has a much bigger enemy than the 360 and the Wii; Redundancy.
Even Nintendo had multiple massive triple-A must have exclusives last gen on the Gamecube, Sony doesn't even have one. The markets a really brutal place, they need to start making more culturally relevant titles with blockbuster market value, then just bundling filler titles.

This isn't cute or funny anymore. Every year it's the same thing. The 360 has no games coming out and multiplat games don't count just like Call of Duty which sells the bulk of it's games on 360. Games shared with the PC don't count just like Left 4 Dead which had great sales on the 360. On the other hand the PS3 has had such exclusive blockbusters like: Heavenly Sword, Resistance 2, Warhawk, Little Big Planet, Motorstorm 2, etc...



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

 You do realize that the majority of the devs at Turn 10 used to work for Polyphony Digital right?

GT is still one of the biggest franchises in video gaming, but you're grasping at straws with GOW & MGS

Even Forza 2 has sold more than MGS4 and I wouldn't consider putting Forza up there on the top list

You are leaving out a few far bigger than those two, God of War especially, there's another GOW that would fit up there though in Gears which is a much MUCH bigger seller.
God of War was a critically acclaimed title, but not a big seller, in fact each release has sold less than the previous one

That's if you're only talking about exclusives too

Mario
Wii Series (Sports/Fit/WSR)
GTA
GT
Halo

CoD
Gears
Final Fantasy
Zelda

See, it's kinda spread over every console when you look at it properly

Did you just praise Left4Dead's sales then knock LittleBigPlanet's?  You do realize that LittleBigPlanet has higher lifetime sales than Left4Dead, right?

Turn 10 are based out of Redmond Washington.  Polyphony Digital is based out of Tokyo.  I've never heard of some mass exodus of developers from Polyphony Digital who then moved from Tokyo to Redmond to work for Microsoft.
