360 exclusives sell so well because they dont innovate and MS doesnt take risks.

The reason 360 exclusives sell so well is very simple and common sense.. They keep releasing sequels to games that have sold well in the past.. pure and simple, this is and always has been their business model. MS and 360 gamers like to brag that exclusives sell so well on the 360, well ofcourse they do. Lets look at the current game line up for the 360 that have sold really well.. Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST, Forza 2, Forza 3, Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, you see the pattern there?So the point is this. 360 exclusives sell so well because they dont innovate and dont take risks whatsoever. Their whole business model revolves around creating sequels that are guaranteed sells for them to a fanbase that will buy the games no matter what. If your a MS shareholder that would be great news for profits, but for the actual gaming community all it means is more sequels of games.So yea, ill give MS this much.. their exclusives do sell more than PS3 exclusives. But its because they dont innovate and dont take risks on making new innovative games whatsoever. Sony has proved that you can still have hardcore games and yet be innovative..look at PS3's lineup.. Uncharted 2, Demons souls, White Knight Chronicles, MAG, God Of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, The Last Guardian, Littlebigplanet, Modnation Racers, Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, Ratchet and Clank.. These are ALL PS3 exclusive from a wide wide range of genres. To the multiplayer shooter fests like MAG and Killzone 2, to the highly innovative fun Modnation Racers and LBP and then you have the adult oriented cinematic experirence of Heavy Rain and lastly you have the artsy action adventure game of The Last Guardian.Look at any exclusive on the 360 that doesnt include marines, aliens, guns or racing cars and they have all flopped in sales.. Lost Odyssey, the last remnant, Banjo, Viva Pinata etc.

Realistically, none of the big three really innovate. But if you wanna play it, Gears of War 1 was innovative when it came out with it's graphics and gameplay mechanics. Halo 1 was very innovative on a console. And they both sold very well. No need to try and find an excuse if games don't sell well. You should read your sig, it says you don't care about sales so why this thread?

I'm pretty sure there is a Heavenly Sword 2 in the works, Little Big Planet 2 and probably a sequel to Demons Souls.....why you ask? Because they sold well genius. Where did I ever say that the PS3 didn't have good IPs? I enjoy my PS3 exclusives, sequels or not, I just happen to think its common sense that sequels to good selling games will generally sell well on both the 360 and the PS3. Its common sense and both Sony and MS do this.

Cool,Sony tells you all their next games.....can I be your friend?You seem like a very important person with that knowledge!!!111!

No, I have enough friends, but thanks!
