7 of the 9 2010 Genre Award Winners are on 360. But the 360 lacks variety?

Just wondering how a system with the best Action/adventure, Sports, Driving, Shooter, Puzzle, Music & RPG of the year is still said to lack in variey. Seems like 360 has something for everyone. I have 'em all soI don't worry about whats on what. Just like to debunk false System Wars nonsense.

Edit:

And on this list PS3 has ZERO Exclusives and 360 has 2 (Limbo & Reach). So don't say its all about multiplats either.

And a system either has variety or it doesn't. The 360 does. Period.

Awards means nothing

When people say 360 lacks variety, they arew talking about exclusives. Gears 1,2,3,Halo 3, ODST,Reach, Forza 1,2,3.

I've never understood this about SW. The games are on 360. End of.

Because they mean exclusive wise.TintedEyes

systemwars doesnt care about multiplats..... well not as much as exclusives

Because every single one of those games, minus Halo (which is a shooter, the one genre where the Xbox 360 doesn't lack variety) is also on the PS3. Thus compared to that system, it does lack variety.

People use this logic because multiplats isn't a reason to purchase a 360 over a PS3, exclusives are. Meaning if that you'll be missing out on more quality games if you have a 360 only. People should just get both though, but if you can only have one, PS3 is the way to go.

Speaking of nonsense, I couldn't help but notice that exactly two of the Genre Award Winners are exclusive to the Xbox 360 ... and one of them is Halo: Reach. :lol:

Nice variety of multiplats, exclusives is where it matters

There is some weird belief that systems can only play exclusives around here... themyth01

No there isnt, exclusives are what set the consoles apart and MS dont offer much variety in genres with their exclusives. Multiplats can be played on either so how does that set them apart?

Doesn't matter, the fact is that PS3 has more that sets it apart from the rest. You only play games that are considered Game of the Year? Your library must be really slim then:?

Not just lack of variety in genre, but a lack of variety within one genre.

that's not the argument however. I am under the assumption that variety is being described versus the competition since absolutely nothing in SW exists without comparison. Sure I think the argument is stupid, but let's not confuse the issue vs whether its right or not. Variety (like everything)is judged vs competition in SW. We all know that.

don't you know? its system wars. multiplats don't matter here, for some reason.

I don't understand why you would waste time arguing semantics. Are you pleased with the exclusives MS is dishing out? I don't understand why Lems defend MS and the 360 at this point. I mean MS would rather spend 500 mil on ads then giving new and brilliant IPs. Why defend a company that does that? I love my 360 but I can't stand MS for following the path they have so far.

Are we allowed now to say Dachase, Tinted, and Ownmore are no longer ever allowed to talk about multiplats being good, pimp multiplats...etc? since they admit all that matter are exclusives?

And in that case If only exclusives matter...then the ps3's multiplats shouldn't be counted in lists? therefor the 360 wins by a giantlandside of good games exclusive and mutliplat?

They are talking about exclusives in SW regarding Wii, PS3, PC, and 360. Taken out of context like the OP, it doesn't make sense, but those other threads are referring to exclusives. You must also ask yourself the 7 of 9 games are multiplats right.

Bottomline, do we sit back and cruise on multiplats and hope and pray the console manufacture's barely churn out a game, if we are lucky, a few games a year? Or rather, should we speak up and hope that we see more from our console manufacturers? I don't want that, so I would rather fans speak up, and console manufacturer's listen.

Also it's nice to use gamespot's opinions on what they think is an award, but it's not going to go far in SW.

Well obviously to even have an argument you can't include mulitplats....cuz they're on every platform. lol

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"] Well, i know im gonna open a can of worms here, where are the PS3 exclusives?;)

Where are you getting that idea from? I can personally say, I'm on gs and do not care at all about their GOTY awards.

For the argument of "any such system lacks this" you have to only talk about exclusives, because any multiplat lends its variety to all the systems...

[QUOTE="hoosier7"][QUOTE="dsmccracken"] I thought that the 360 had more exclusives... has this changed? Let's be completely frank with each other, shall we? This is the gen of the multiplat, and NEITHER the 360 nor the PS3 is distinguishing itself and setting itself apart with a massive boatload of exclusives. Exclusives have become fewer and fewer. This has in fact concentrated the debate over those few piddly examples creating a false impression here in SW that exclusives still matter like they once did, or perhaps even matter more because they are so much less in number. This couldn't be further from the truth.dsmccracken

I would say the PC Wii has the best variety. Wii has tons of unique titles in niche genres like Zack & Wiki, but fails in one or two key areas such as serious racing, which is where the PC fills in. PC also has amazing variety but lacks in Platformers, Split Screen, and in other areas.Fried_Shrimp

When people say the 360 lacks variety, they are talking about exclusives.

What people need to realize is that the 360 do have a varied library, but most of the 360's "HIGHEST SCORING" genres are either FPS/TPS (shooters in general) and Racers, in which is the only areas that the 360 best the ps3 in. That's what people mean when they say that the 360 lacks variety in their exclusives, when compared to the ps3. While there are more multiplats this gen, there are some stand-out exclusives to be played that you won't find on other systems like Halo, LBP, DS, Infamous, Motorstorm, VC, MGS4 (these aren't 1st party, but their still exclusive), HR, GOW3, MNR, 3D Dot Heros,, and although UC does have heavy shooting mechanics, it does have a but of everything else and does offer an experience that isn't on the 360. Remember, Sony is mainly about exclusives this gen. Don't just say that exclusives are a thing of the past because your respected company doesn't hold them in 1st priority.

TC, you should know that it´s cool to hate the 360. When it comes to actual numbers and facts 360 allways delivers.
