Have PS3 exclusives started outperforming 360 exclusives?

At the start of this generation Sony decided to invest heavily in first party development. I doubt this is because they foresaw the failure of their 600 dollar monstrosity  but it is providing a huge benefit for them in the long term regardles.

It didn't really work out too well for them in the beginning, up until 2008 the only good exclusive on the console was Warhawk. But now we're starting to see the fruits of their labour. The PS3 had higher rated exclusives than the 360 this year by a fair margin.

When I look at PS3 exclusives  I see far more ambition than I see with 360 exclusives. Whether it's 256 players in MAG, jaw dropping graphics/animation/destructability in Killzone 2, user generated content in Little Big Planet or the unique cinematic touches in Heavy Rain. 

Upcoming exclusives for the PS3 include GT5, God of War 3, Infamous, MAG and Heavy Rain. Contrast that with the underwhelming exclusives coming to the 360 like Ninja Blade and the 5 hour long halo xpansion pack. 

Could 2009 be a repeat of 2008 exclusives wise? right now it looks like it

Theres such a small difference I never notice.

I see that Fallout 3 and GTA4 look better on my 360 than ps3.  Dead space looks better on the ps3. 

Likw I said, the deciding factor for me is online.  I get mutli plats for 360 so I can play online since I have like 30 firends that have a 360.  None of em have a ps3.

If they do I don't think it matters, the high profile PS3 exclusives take so long to make; 360 has had several games by the time they are released. For example Killzone 2 was announced before PS3 was even launched, in the time it took for that game to come out there has been two Gears of War titles.

Quality is better than quantity, but considering the time KZ2 and MGS4 was in development for perhaps they should scale back a bit and focus on getting more out?

To be fair it's a tiny picture and he's scowling in it

as for PS3 excliusives I'd have to give some fo the credit to Sony and the PS3 itself. It's often been said that the PS3 is apretty capable systsem it's just a pain in the ass to develop for. First/second party devs would have the advantage of the best tools and support and having no other option but to learn the system

and I think Sony have done an amazing job investing in New IP's and bringing back old ones. Warhawk was a awelcome blast from the past and uncharted, Resistance, LBP, Motorstorm etc are worthy additions to their library of first party games

Whether it's 256 players in MAG, jaw dropping graphics/animation/destructability in Killzone 2, user generated content in Little Big Planet or the unique cinematic touches in Heavy Rain.

User generated content in LBP and saw where that got them? Unique? cinematic touches in heavy rain? been done before in Indigo prophecy Heavy rain seems to be yet another time action event movie.
256 players in MAG whats basically an MMO and will fail to all the MMO flaws, As for Kill zone 2 its still not up to par with the Real Time Graphics :roll: of the 2005 video till it is im not interested.

In 2008 all you got was MGS4.  Sure, you got Resistance 2 and LBP, but apparently the games are average at best, and boring in the worst case (according to cow reports)...and the lackluster sales reflcect this.  Most cows, of course, will say that everything released on the PS3 is just sooooo awesome.

havent you heard?

9's are the new average today! :roll:

pfft.. UPDATE people! :P

im more hyped for Mass Effect 2 and Alan Wake then any PS3 exclusive

Sony didn't price the inital PS3 at $600 for fun, it was because the damn thing cost $850 to make. Wasn't the ps1 initially $300 when it first came out? The point is that it needs to break into the market before it could sell cheaper. People act like this is a phenomenon for some reason. When a new technology comes out, of course it's pricey.

As for exclusives, yes Sony is doing the right thing.  I always consider Sony a leader in gaming. Yea the 360 can make a few great games, but Sony keeps pushing for more.  It is a very smart thing to go with your inhouse devs because nowadays many third parties can't afford to just go one platform.

Lackluster sales? What exactly is lackluster? LBP is almost at a million at this point and it hasn't been a month yet. People act like LBP is suppose to sell millions like MGS4, Fable 2, and Gears 2. For one thing, all of those games mentioned are sequels and had enough time to establish themselves. Another thing is that LBP doesn't reach out to the casual as much as those games do.  It will sell more as time goes by.  Resistance 2 just came out in Europe which had higher sales for Resistance 1.

I know, I know...in the PS3 world, the worst a game sells, the better it is.  

  if all we got was mgs4, all you got was gears and which got rated higher? RIP PImpahighity21YoungRay20

Just because a game gets a high score does not automatically make it a fun game.  Hell, Bioshock is one of the most boring games I have ever played.  Fun games do well...word of mouth spreads.  Boring games don't sell that well...LBP seems to fall into this category.    

You guys are pounding your chests as you scream "GS Scores".  Fine, I guess you've got nothing better to do until Home comes out...but we all know those games are not that great since they had embarrassing sales.   I mean, they are not bad games, but they are nothing to write home about (regardless of the GS scores).
