Forums - Gaming - X360 outselling PS3 despite having fewer exclusive games

X360 has only had 3 big exclusive* games (Halo 3, Gears of War 2 and Fable 2) in three and a half years. PS3 has had 15 big exclusive* titles that have not reduced the sales gap on X360.

*Exclusive to that system only and not on PC.

PS3 only has Gran Turismo 5 left as being a game that could change things a little but it will not be enough. God of War 3  will sell well but it is no system seller. Even a PS3 price cut in late 2009 could not turn around a 10 million+ sales deficit.

Third party support>> First party support.

360 has much better third party support than PS3. X360 gets more DLC than PS3 for multi-platform games. Multi-platform games sell much better on X360 than PS3 due to X360 larger install base in the western world. Last generation PS2 had all those extra third party exclusive titles that gave it the unbeatable edge over its competitor XBox and GameCube. Now the third party developers are putting  games on other platforms: XBox 360 and Wii due to the change in market shares from last generation. Strong third party support gives X360 edge over PS3.

Someone made this exact same thread a couple days ago, look that one up mate.

Anyone know the final cost of Halo 3 with advertising and development? Pretty sure it was enough for pay for a couple first PS3 titles.



 

yup ms fans just wanna rub it in!!



Being a cricket fan is much simpler and more fun

Of course...Pricing has nothing to do with it right?



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

Not sure why MS fans are proud though, fewer games sell more.....they proud that they have less games to play as long as the games sell more. :/

LBP consisted of 37 employees, I doubt the development cost of that game came close to one like Fable 2. GeOW 2 I can say yes, that is a monster and only cost something like $18 million to make. Halo 3 was advertised like nothing I have seen before, easily enough to pay for the development of a game like Uncharted.

More games which sell less or less games which sell more with costs being close thanks to advertising? yeah.....no

Whats your point?  

 

It still made more money than 3, 4 or 5 first party exclusives by Sony (combined).  So the advertising must have worked well.  Maybe Sony should try and advertise a little.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Hahaha.. nice. Well, enjoy your three games. And ill enjoy my huge share of exclusives. As long as your in the lead right? So your basicly saying that the 360 has no games. Whatever happend to xbox having 600 games and the PS3 none? Hahaha mate.

 

Your winning. Congratz. Now go play your sales.



Maybe Sony should advertise more, don't know don't care just so long as the first party development continues. Sony probably are making money on each game especially when games like Uncharted cost $20 million to develop.



 

the OP should stop being a PS3 fanboy

the xbox 360 has much better games than it & has many more better exclusives than it!
