When it comes to retail releases, PS3 exclusives beat the 360 in: 1) Average score (PS3: 93.33, Xbox 360: 92.00 ) 2) Better graphics 3) Better sounds 4) Higher standards--the games tend to be newer therefore are graded using newer, tougher standards. 40% of Xbox 360's AAA exclusives are released 2007 or earlier. All PS3 AAA exclusives are released 2008 or later. 5) Variety--Xbox 360 are all shooters and racing. PS3 has shooters, adventure, platforming, user-generated contents 6) Quantity. PS3 has 6 AAAs. Xbox 360 only has 5. PS3:

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Metascore: 96 Release Date: Oct 13, 2009

LittleBigPlanet Metascore: 95 Release Date: Oct 27, 2008

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Metascore: 94 Release Date: Jun 12, 2008

God of War III Metascore: 92 Release Date: Mar 16, 2010

LittleBigPlanet 2 Metascore: 92 Release Date: Jan 18, 2011

Killzone 2 Metascore: 91 Release Date: Feb 27, 2009

Average score 93.33

Xbox 360

Halo 3 Metascore: 94 Release Date: Sep 25, 2007

Gears of War 2 Metascore: 93 Release Date: Nov 7, 2008

Forza Motorsport 3 Metascore: 92 Release Date: Oct 27, 2009

Halo: Reach Metascore: 91 Release Date: Sep 14, 2010

Forza Motorsport 2 Metascore: 90 Release Date: May 29, 2007

92.003

Note: I just removed Gears of War from Xbox 360's list. Thus, the 360's average score is even lower now.

That 1.0 difference must make the games - on average- so much damn better. Seriously, enjoy both.

I think the fact that its that small of a difference tells me that you're experiencing buyers remorse and have to defend it...

It's not just the .1 difference. It's also graphics, sounds, tougher standards, variety. They all make a very convincing case that PS3's exclusives are much better than 360's. Just sayin'.

Tougher standards? All those Playstation exclusive reviewers are reviewing PS3 games at a higher standard than 360 games?

Slightly better graphics will only make a case for some, and slightly better sounds ill only make a case for those the the ability to take advantage of that (i.e. a higher end surround sound et).

I won't touch on higher standard, nor variety, as it's been debated hundreds of times before.

Yes, definitely. As each year passes, reviewers use tougher and tougher standards to grade a game. Therefore, newer releases are judged tougher than earlier releases.

Or even a set standard, or is it determined at a whim, TC? It all seems a little subjective, though no doubt some games may set higher standards.

No, you don't get what I'm saying.

Playstation exclusive reviewers don't review 360 games whatsoever, and exclusive reviewers often times make up a huge percentage of reviews for each game that comes out.

You're essentially comparing a review from OXM with one from Playstation Magazine, and so on and so forth. The standards Playstation Magazine has in place for reviewing games will never EVER have an impact on the scores of 360 games.

Just stick to comparing Gamespot scores. One site, one set of standards across the board.

Whoa..did UC2 actually rate higher than MGS4? When did that happen?

Oh, and I would understand if it was a 10% difference, but 1% is like 10 reviewers saying that the overall game is better.

I was curious. I wanted to see which console has a higher average exclusive score. The list are short because those are all the retail (not downloadable games) that score AAA on Metacritic.

This. And I'm think one of the MLB The Show games is averaged above 90% as well, adding to the variety

Yeah, go figure. It can be the difference between an AAA and an AA. My point is, no matter how you measure it, if you are a gamer, the PS3 exclusives are better than 360 exclusives in just about every way, not just that 1% difference.

This makes the PS3 better than the 360 in terms of quantity. Also, the 360's average score is now lower as well. Further proof that the PS3 is much better than the 360 for AAA exclusives.

If that's the case, let's not talk about graphics alone. Or exclusives alone. Multiplats alone. Or sales alone. Or anything alone. We should talk about everything at once. Then every topic should be exactly the same because we should bring up every thing that matters in one topic. I was just curious about AAA titles and decided to do a little research on my own, and it so happens that PS3 AAA exclusives are clearly better than the 360's. Some people might not like it, but it's the truth.

1) The PS3 percentage is better by 1.33%... that's not even large even to be a margin of error :? 2) & 3) Where the **** are you getting these from? 4) LOLOLOLOL so I guess games from then dont count? Standards change bro, but not so drastically over 3 years as to make the previous games irrelevant. Cows only say this because the PS3 had NO GAMES until like 2008 5) User-generated content? Forza has that. Halo has that. 6) OMG! 1 more AAA than the 360? Stop the presses! PS3 isn't last anymore, it just won the race!! BTW, I just noticed you're a level 1 :| Why did I even bother?

AAA exclusives are not small samples. They are responsible for a large percentage of sales. They also pushes the most boundaries in terms of graphics and gameplay. The they act as great differentiators among consoles.

Buddy there's only five/six games! Are you honestly telling me that people ONLY buy AAA exclusives over the life of a console? And they are not responsible for a large percentage of sales except for Halo and Gears (not sure about PS3), most console sales are due to multiplats. Which, btw, are the only FAIR and somewhat REASONABLE way to compare consoles. Since *exclusive on 360* is always going to play towards that crowd and the consoles strenght while *exclusive on PS3* will also do the same thing

I agree over all the ps3 has a more diverse exclusive line up than 360. Halo and gears are the only 360 exclusives I really really liked. The rest of my 360 games are multiplats. But the 1 percent difference isn't that much. But if the 360 had the higher percentage 1 percent would be a huge difference and 360 fanboys would have a field day. However, I think fanboyism in general is stupid as hell.

if you look at AA and up games, there's just as much variety on the 360 as there is on the ps3.

The difference is like 1%. And since when did the PS3 have tougher standards? You sound like you're making stuff up.

AAA exclusives are not small samples. They are responsible for a large percentage of sales. They also pushes the most boundaries in terms of graphics and gameplay. The they act as great differentiators among consoles.

oh yes they are small samples. very small samples. if you include AA games you will see.

I agree that there are more AAs than AAA tittles. I disagree that they are very small samples. But AAAs have a much bigger impact when it comes to gaming choices. One Bill Gates has more financial impact than a thousand you's and me's.

Okay...why not include both console's full exclusive libraries?
