I have both a 360 and a DS and I love them both. I've been trying to decide whether to get a Wii or PS3 and it seems like overall, PS3 has the most robust package. And there are many great games out already. Problem is, many of them I already have for 360, such as R6 Vegas and Oblivion. What concerns me about PS3 is the lack of exclusives (thus basically reasons to buy one). I love Resistance and like Motorstorm, but outside of that there really isn't anything out that has caught my eye or that I don't already own. And it seems like Sony is losing all their exclusives (Armored Core, Assassins Creed, DMC4, and possibly MGS4). Being a 360 gamer, you'd think I was happy, but as a former Sony fan in the PS1 and PS2 days, I find all of this pretty troubling.

I really want to get a PS3, but the lack of exclusive titles is seriously holding me back. Then again, I'm a bit out of the loop on which games are/aren't exclusive these days.

Can anyone give me some examples of exclusives that I can look forward to if I buy a PS3?

MGS4 is sticking with Sony...360 fanboys just had nothing to say when price job was announced.

Socom is staying with Sony
Gran Turismo is staying with Sony
Assassin's Creed will look better with Sony
Grand Theft Auto 4 will have better features with Sony

I think that's enough reason. ANd while you're at it, toss out that DS and buy a PSP. Good luck

Oh and for exlusives? -> Heavenly Sword, GoW, R&C, GT, SOCOM, and there is talk of an exlcusive made by Epic (GeOW)

all I can say is exclusives are definitely coming chief, but if you're happy with 360 you don't need PS3 (aka the most awesome-est console ever)

you seem to have been suckered into the no exclusives myth. right now there are not that many but in the next 4-5 months there are going to be quite a few such as lair, heavenly sword, ratchet and clank, mgs4 (i dont know how many times they have to say that its for ps3 only), gran turismo 5, etc.

I say get the PS3, but If you are very worried about exclusives, watch E3 and dont worry since the sequels of the best games last gen will be aroun in a year or two, so you can play GoW 3, Shadow of a Colossus 2 and many more+ already anounced exclusives like Uncharted, Lair, Heavenly Sword and MGS. Also if you never had a PS2, you can get AWSOME games for just like 5 dlrs if you can stand the outdated gfx, such as MGS2-3 Shadow of a Colossus and many more.

Plus the Wii really lacks 3rd party games, and most are horrible and Mini Games compiñations. Only 1st Party games are worth it.

Heavenly Sword
Lair
Uncharted Drakes Fortune
Ratchet & Clank: Future Tools of Destruction
Killzone 2
MGS4
Final Fantasy XIII (and Versus)
Little Big Planet
Home
Haze (by the looks of it, it has to be an exclusive, the game website only has the PS/ps3 logo ...)
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Folklore

and Eventually ...
God of War 3 (CAN NOT WAIT)
Gran Turismo 5 !

and i'm sure you should wait like 5 more days till E3 is over, because i'm sure we're gonna get a bunch of new exclusives, and not mock ups of the same old game (speaking about ninty, but mock ups can and usually are fun, but sometimes repetitive)

and rumble i'm sure is coming, if not already confirmed,

I bought a 360 when Gears of War came out & I just bought a PS3 on Friday. (I plan on getting Best Buy to price match it to the new price next week.) I bought the PS3 more for a Blu-ray player right now, but I'm looking forward to some of the upcoming PS3 games. I have Motorstorm & Lemmings so far & both are fun for me. I'm happy being a PS360 owner, although your mileage may vary.

Dont do it. You have a 360, there is no need to get a ps3 for a few exclusive titles, and we'll see how long those still stay exclusive. Personally, I see this price drop as a big warning sign that Sony is heading for trouble

The ps3 forum is typically for PS3 users...not trolls.

See...PS3 users are civil and wealthy enough to afford the PS3...trolls have to live under bridges and beg for petty cash to buy their 360s and Wiis

just wait till your absolutely sure u want one of them which ever it is games will come and since u enjoy yoru 360 and ds u can wait there may even be another price drop. im sure a game will come for one of those system where youll be like i need that console just wait it out.

the lesson of the week is good things come to those who wait lol. just wait until your sure don't buy a console based on games that haven't come out already you don't know if they'll be good or bad.

either way its your decision and yours alone.

If the decision is between PS3 and Wii. I would go for the Ps3 when the price cut comes (in a few days). :) If you had ps1 and ps2 then the games that the ps3 will be bringing won't dissapoint you at all.

why dontpeople ever talk about the 360 exclusive losses whena 360 game is lost they act as if it was never exclusive but when the ps3 loses one they say " OH BOY THE PS3 SUCKS"

but yeah if you like the games that are coming out on the ps3 then id say make your final decision after this week when e3 is over
