Exclusives don't matter as much as people say.

It would seem that exclusives are the be-all and end-all for any cow's argument. I'll concede that PS3 has more high quality exclusives than the 360, but I also don't think it matters that much. If 360 exclusives were as important as people make them out to be, why would the 360 beat the PS3 every month in the NPD's? I'll tell you why: Becuase you can't get the games on the PS3.

You may be able to get them on the PC, but that is a very niche market. "but world of warcraft has 11 million subs!" How many of those people are actually hardcore gamers who would play Mass Effect 2? Maybe 10% of WoW's subscriber base? Face it. 360 games on PC make very little difference when the average consumer is trying to decide between the 360 and PS3.

I seem to remember it was all that 360 fans could talk about in 06 and 07. PS3 fans were constantly criticized for bringing up multiplats and having no AAA exclusives. Turnabout is fair play.

I remember when the PS3 came out and it had next to no quality games, oh how the tables have turned!

Exclusives do matter it is what sets two identical consoles apart.

If the consoles played the same games why would you choose one console over the other.

That is why Exclusives are important it gives people an incentive to buy a console so they can play games they couldnt find on the other console.

fanboys only play exclusives. real gamers play multiplats too. real gamers win.

Ok, to you and most of the console scene it makes no difference, but I game on a PC and therefore any game that is on console/PC i will always go for the PC.

In my view the PS3 is the console to have because it has so many more games that I'm unable to play.

I agree with you TC, just because the 360 doesen't have as many quality exclusives as the PS3 doesen't matter much. You will hear fanboys say all games that are on the 360 are shared with the PC, but they fail to realize... It's not on the PS3. Which is a huge disadvantage.

consoles are too similar for exclusives to really matter, people just wanna play the latest and best game, and now its games like Call of Duty, exclusives are taking a back seat in gaming now

[QUOTE="Sooshy"]What are you talking about? 360 has tons of quality games like MAss Efftect 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction. It's just that they are on the PC, and my argument is that them being on the PC doesn't matter as much as people make it seem.Sooshy

Yes, I'm part of that niche market and proud to be. Why should i pay more for a lesser experience? From my perspective the PS3 has more games that appeal to me because the majority of games on the Xbox are available on the PC and or the PS3. Why does the PC always get shunned in these posts, what about the Wii? This is, after all, system wars, not console wars.

[QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"][QUOTE="Sooshy"]Not it wasn't. I was here, dude. It launched with Resistance, Untiold Legends, Full Auto II, and a few other exclusives. It was because all of the games were subpar.Sooshy

Realistically, they don't but reality is rarely taken into account here in System Wars so they'll continue to remain the Holy Grail of gaming around these parts.

[QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"][QUOTE="Sooshy"]That's what I'm saying. They weren't criticized for a lack of excluives, but for a lack of high quality exclusives. And the "PS3 still has no AAA exclusives" after MGS4 was either a joke thread or immensely stupid.Sooshy

[QUOTE="randomguy15"]

[QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"] Yeah but its also not only on the 360. Ragnarok1051

Bazooka_4ME

thats because its a sequal to one of the best games ever, but will have to see in a few weeks if the numbe moves to 2 million users online...right now it always says its around 1 mil.

cows and lems are a small group of the people who own the consoles, and Halo reach and GT5 are hyped but so is Call of duty black ops, Maifia 2, Dead Rising, Brinks, Batman, etc

[QUOTE="Sooshy"][QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"] Yes but that proves my point. It was the 360 fans who placed such a heavy emphasis on AAA exclusives this gen. Ragnarok1051

360 fans shouted at the top of their lungs form the beginning of the gen untill about MGS4's release that EXCLUSIVES WERE ALL THAT MATTERED. Now that they don't have any anymore they don't matter? Hmmmmmm.FriendlyGaimz

[QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"][QUOTE="randomguy15"]Ok, so before I edited that message I think my spacebar like failed a lot, so sorry about so many connecting words. But back on topic, Yes PS3 exclusives are not on the 360 but if you think about it only exclusive games to other consoles or handhelds are the only games the 360 doesen't have. All most all multiplats come to the 360. Plus theirs a few quality exclusives for the 360 too. 360/PC games do matter even if they are considered multiplat.

[QUOTE="randomguy15"]

[QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"] They matter as much as other multiplats. The PS3 gets its own exclusives and the majority of multiplats. 360 and PC games are not some special brand of multiplat. You still don't need a 360 to play them or a PC if you have the 360. Ragnarok1051

[QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"][QUOTE="Sooshy"]They were criticized for not having a single AAA game until like a year after launch.Sooshy

[QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"][QUOTE="randomguy15"]The PS3 doesen't get a lot of multiplats like Fable 3, or Splinter Cell Conviction, not to mention most multiplats are better on the 360. So I think multiplats matter just as much as exclusives. And it seems like some people just want to forget the 360 is getting exclusives too. Halo Reach and Alan Wake plus arcade games and that morphx game or whatever.
