But as others have noted.

 

PS3 isnt PS2.

 

Its better,but much smaller exclusive game selection.

O.o PS2 had a shit load of multiplats, while Xbox had so many envious exclusives >.< (I wanted to play Jade Empire, Fable I, KOTOR, etc)

Yes, PS3 isn't PS2, but it has a much bigger exclusive game selection than it's predecessor. If you're talking about the Wii/360 line up, that's subjective, but all 3 have some big titles this year and next year Q1!

Is this a joke? The PS2 dominated the exclusive market last generation, without question.

By the the mid to end of it, GTA became multiplat, and if we're talking about 2009, FFXIII is exclusive to PS3 in Japan.

GTA went multiplat..... and? Why does one series suddenly make the hundreds of other exclusive suddenly moot?

I don't think a lot of those "hundred" exclusives were system sellers...

O.o

I'm sorry, but I bought a PS2 for Final Fantasy. The other games were just gravy. Quite frankly, I would be happier if GTA suddenly ceased to exist.

San Andreas on Xbox...???

And again, I don't think those "hundreds" of exclusives were system sellers.

Did you mean this?

You are telling me the system had GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas a full year to two years before the Xbox, God of War, GT, Metal Gear Solid 3 and a slew of other sick games (SOCOM trilogy) which went on to sell several million - gets own3d by KZ2, LBP, Uncharted, MGS4 and a few others?

Man, you must haven't taken your meds today. Seriously, the PS3 isn't the PS2, nor will it be. You know why the PS2 is still around? Price - a killer lineup of games that folks want - and lack of BC on the PS3.

The PS2's exclusive lineup is what fueled its success. The Wii proves that games are what moves hardware. The 360 also proves that.

 



What, son, what? New York, New York!!!

Well, maybe I wanted to play a lot of stuff on the Xbox, and was pissed that the PS2 was inferior hardware wise (and hence why I bought a PS3).

 

>.<

 

God I was so annoyed that Splinter Cell in PS2 was so gimped.

Wasnt the PS2 in very short supply (clearing the channel) before the PS2 slim launched.  Yes Sony has been clearing the channel of the PS3 as well, but the PS3 has never been in demand like the PS2 was.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
