In the gaming world, there has been a recent trend of a certain console manufacturers (who would remain namelss) fanboys that would claim that Halo 3's success is due to the fact that it's the greatest thing since Square ditched Nintendo's cartridge based platform to make games on C.D for Sony back in '95'.and constantly compare its sales without any incite to that of PS3 exclusive titles.   "With out any incite you say"

 

 

Halo 3 IS a very successful game, but what other 'AAA' exclusive titles on the Xbox 360 platform does it have to contend with. Gears i hear you scream, and for all you people who screamed Gears ... you're correct (and also stop shouting in the back while reading this) but apart from that what else is there, fable 2 and left 4 dead both did well,sales wise but they hardly set the gaming world alight... who's really talking about them now. the only thing that sparked any major interest in left 4 dead was the rumor of it coming to the PS3, apart from that the games pretty much yesterdays news as the position on the Xbox most played charts always shows.

 

 

if you had been counting, thats only two quality 'AAA' exclusives for the Xbox. Viva Pinata, Banjo kazooee: Nuts and Bolts, Too Human, Perfect Dark, Ninety-Nine Nights are all flops, or mediocre titles at best, and this is not fanboism, this is fact. i can't imagine most Xbox 360 owners are hankering for Kameo 2:deli of fate.

 

Now for the incite part:

 

So lets consider the amount of 'AAA' exclusive titles for the PS3 (for the sake of fanboys out there, we'll only list the ones that has sold over a million) we have MGS4, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, LBP, Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm, Killzone 2.

 

 

Now using incite if there are only 2 'AAA' exclusive titles on the Xbox , you can expect them to have a higher sales rate because of their fewer number, where compared to the PS3 and remember we are only talking about the million and above sellers, not all of the exclusive titles has a broader range of titles to choose from, so you can expect sales to be spread across different titles. Look at it this way, Killzone 2 has been released, and inFamous, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, God of War 3, White Knight Chronicles, and M.A.G are all coming exclusively to the PS3, This Year.

 

Now compare that (the quantity not the quality) to the 2 games that Microsoft is going to announce for the Xbox, this year at E3

OOO Please 360 fanboys answer politely do not be too mean, it is just an opinion.

DISCUSSSSSS

 

Ok rafi...Ok...I'll Admit it..Halo:Combat Evolved only sold around 8-9mil....Halo 2 sold about 10 mil and halo 3 did the same...So yeah..your right....Wait...No your not.....That's like me saying KillZone 2 did not sell cuz of the many ps3 exclusives that are around...Sarcastic much?



 



360 had alot of good exclusives around the time HALO3 released.



4 ≈ One

Psst. You misspelled insightful. ;)

This blog entry is SPOT ON. Halo is fun, but despite FPS being my favorite genre I never found the Halo series to be anything special. Fun? Definitely. Worthy of all of its fanboy hype and praise as one of the greatest things ever? Hardly.

The PS3 has a ton of excellent - outstanding exclusives either already released or forthcoming. Even though I want to someday buy a 360, it's pretty obvious that the only reason that Microsoft has spent a ton of cash getting some of the former Playstation exclusive titles to go mulitplatform is because their list of top tier exclusives is short.



Keep this in mind when reading what I type...

I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.
