You haven't sounded like an objective person in this thread. I was seriously getting quite embarrassed for you.

who are you to be embarrassed for me? I am being positive about a console I have enjoyed since launch if everybody wants to poo poo it I couldn't care less...because at the end of the day I have a 360, PS3, PC and a Wii so I win no matter what

Because Core gamers had to wait for 10 months for 1 game.

I didn't know the year was over? Is it 2012 already?

chikenfriedrice

So what other exclusives are coming out this year?

Forza 4 another AAA...Halo Anniversary and I'm sure some Kinect titles and of course superior multiplat experiences

Don't you mean inferior multiplat experiences? I strongly believe that Battlefield 3, MW3, Skyrim, Arkham City and other multiplats will be VASTLY superior on PC, like always.

What? You make no sense whatsoever. You dont even own a 360 and you never did, you're obviously are jealous. You make no sense, you were all hating on gears of war 3 on the hype thread and now you think it's a good game? Also, Uncharted 3 will be a great game like Gears of war 3 but GOW3 wil be far better.

[QUOTE="chikenfriedrice"]

then how come the 360 is outselling the PS3?

chikenfriedrice

It isn't... There's a difference in having 3.3 million more units sold in 6 years than the other has in 5 years, and outselling the other guy. PS3 has outsold 360 pretty consistently ever since it launched.

I think a company looks at the final number of units sold and as of now MS has sold more...pretty simple

And you would be wrong. Sorry, go take some business classes. They'll spew out total sales, because that is good PR, and having a large installbase is important for software sales, but when the difference between them is only about 5%, there are more important factors to software sales than install-base... like actually releasing software. As far as actual units of hardware though, and this is true of ANY goods in any industry, the business cares more about what is selling this fiscal quarter/year than what sold 5 years ago. Sales from this year drive this years profits. Sales from last year drove last years profits. Companies, and the stock holders behind them, care about this year's profits, not last year's profits. If we both have hot dog stands, my financial backers don't care a lick that I sold more hot dogs before your stand opened. They care about me selling more hot dogs than you each month.

So far this year, there has been only 1 exclusive available for 360 owners without a kinect (which is the vast majority of 360 owners). And while people buy consoles to play multiplats too, multiplats don't actually give a reason to buy one particular console over another.

not fine with you? what do you care it doesn't matter what MS does you will hate

chikenfriedrice

but it's the truth. What did they cater to us as far as core exclusives go during this year?

It has been a slow year no doubt and I can blame that on the release of Kinect but ppl act like they never released exclusives for core gamers...but we will still get 2 exclusives that are AAA and some Kinect titles that hopefully will be good....I am saying this month could be a sign of good things to come

You completely didn't answer my question. What have they released in the past year for the core gamer aside from gears?

You guys are pathetic...crying over this. The fact is, if you like Halo/ Gears (like I do), then the 360 is better. If you like Uncharted, killzone, resistance, you'll think the PS3 is better. Magescrew

I'm not crying. I can't cry. Klingons have no tear ducts. :|

So they release a "casual" oriented game and a "core" oriented game within a reasonable window... and suddenly they prove they can cater to both audiences?

Sounds like a one-time lucky strike.

Wrong , if your product is not out there's no competition , if there's no competition there's no winner.Now if you only said that m$ made more money by selling current gen consoles than sony did , then you'd be right , overall sales doesn't mean eff , you can't even make a graphic with a single axis.Without mention that your point of view almost completely ignores the current situation of a console on the market, wii is a fine example.

Yeah, but more total, or more this year? Which is more important? Assuming the spreadsheet is up to date, there's 42 A+ multiplats so far in 2011 on 360, and 40 on PS3. At the same time, there's 2 A+ exclusives so far in 2011 on 360, and 9 on PS3. And to be honest, the fact that around a dozen of the A+ 360 multiplats on the spreadsheet are also on PS3, but don't count as PS3 games, means I wouldn't be surprised if one or both of those extra two 2011 multiplats are on PS3 also anyway (I didn't go through and compare the lists, just counted). So yeah... more exclusives and more games, at least as far as year-to-year.

For the most part, the 360 has more multiplats because of PS2 multiplats from 2005-2007 that didn't make it to PS3 and games that actually ARE on PS3, but don't count in the spreadsheet because GS misses PS3 more than 360 when it only reviews one version. If 360's claim to more games revolves around games that I played on PS2 5-6 years ago, then that is a pretty weak claim.

Also the expression 'superior multiplat experience' should be banned of gamespot , except in PC case.

GameShtopper

The multiplatform experiences have been

PC > PS3 > Xbox 360

this whole year.

why? because 1 game released with extra content and 1 game released with a rehashed wii game as an added extra? i suppose that makes the the multiplat experience slightly better on ps3 but that's negated by the fact that most multiplats still run or look 'slightly' better on the 360

Releasing the same 3 games, Gears, Halo and Forza every so often isn't enough to satisfy the hardcore gaming crowd.

[QUOTE="call_of_duty_10"] Uhh,exclusives ARE the reason why people buy a particular console:|

If console A has 0 exclusives and console B has 5,isn't it logical to buy console B?You get to play more games.

ianuilliam

you get to play more exclusives...not necessarily more games. the 360 does have more total multiplats.

Yeah, but more total, or more this year? Which is more important? Assuming the spreadsheet is up to date, there's 42 A+ multiplats so far in 2011 on 360, and 40 on PS3. At the same time, there's 2 A+ exclusives so far in 2011 on 360, and 9 on PS3. And to be honest, the fact that around a dozen of the A+ 360 multiplats on the spreadsheet are also on PS3, but don't count as PS3 games, means I wouldn't be surprised if one or both of those extra two 2011 multiplats are on PS3 also anyway (I didn't go through and compare the lists, just counted).

i'm not detailing anything. it was just a flaw in his logic. system A has 0 exclusives but 20 games overall. system B has 5 exclusives but only 15 games overall. do you get to play more games with system B?

Crossel777
depends on who you are, i have been gameing since the zx spectrum days ,and i would say that niether console releases enough exclusives to keep hrdcore gamers happy all year round on there own, thankfully with so many brilliant multiplats being released both consoles have more than enough games to satisfy hardcore gamers, all exclusives really do is tip the choice between one console or the other for buyers but it is only one of many factors such as prefferd controller,price,online and such, i would rather the 360 because i prefer 3 of the 360's exclusive franchises to only 2 of the ps3's franchises and i prefer the controller, it's not about which console has the most exclusives it's about which console has the most exclusives that you personally like, to me the phrase hardcore gamer is anybody who plays games all the time whether they are wii gamers,Ps3 gamers, 360 gamers,DS gamers, i would consider Kinect gamers as hardcore gamers if they played kinect games all the time.

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"][QUOTE="chikenfriedrice"]

It has been a slow year no doubt and I can blame that on the release of Kinect but ppl act like they never released exclusives for core gamers...but we will still get 2 exclusives that are AAA and some Kinect titles that hopefully will be good....I am saying this month could be a sign of good things to come

chikenfriedrice

You completely didn't answer my question. What have they released in the past year for the core gamer aside from gears?

why should I answer a question you know the answer too? And they do have mutliplat games ya know?

Multiplat games are still available on other systems. But for the core gamers they have absolutely disappointed this year. Gears will be an after thought come next year. I mean the community will be there but this board won't talk about it as much. Ohh and look ANOTHER forza. MS has not done an original core IP AT all this year.

Except its more like A has 2 exclusives, but 44 games overall. And B has 9 exclusives, and 49 games overall, where A is 360 and B is PS3.

you are both right, but you are only right because you are restricting it to this year, if you are talking about the whole generation, which i am assuming casey is, then the 360 does indeed have more games for people to play but less exclusives unless you throw everything into the pot like XBLA and PSN games then the 360 not only has more games but has more exclusive games as well.

M$ has proven that I made the right choice in selling my 360. The only game I actually want to get for the 360 is gears 3 and that's only because I played the first two and I'm kind of curious to see how it ends.

It's not as simple as saying hey this is what gamers want so lets give it to them. They have to find a developer capable of providing their wants and needs.
