I'm curious myself. How did the 360 manage to rack up massive sales despite a lack of "exclusives"??? Anybody care to give an explanation minus the fanboyish tone?

And where is the lack of 360 exclusives BTW ?

This year they had Bastion, Halo CE, Forza 4, Gears 3, Trenhced, Half MInute Hero, Gunstringer, Rise of NIghtmares etc

And those were actually good to amazing games, not 7.5/10 ones like Infamous 2

Witcher 2 is not an exclusive, it is also on xbox 360

Dark Souls performance is much better on 360

loosingENDS

Lies and BS again, W2 will be on ps3 and Ds is equal on both platforms.

360 has nothin but kinect shovelware like fable journey.

MS has given up its all kinect titles.

[QUOTE="loosingENDS"]best exclusives (Gears 3, Halo CE, Bastion, Forza etc) and the best version of the best multipltform games like SKyrim, Crysis 1-2, Dark SOuls etc

loosingENDS

Best exclusives? :lol: Those would go to The Witcher 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Uncharted 3 and Shogun 2 is also candidate.
Best versions? :lol: Nope again, Skyrim on PC, Bastion on PC (might I add with FREE DLC), Crysis 1 ánd 2 best played on PC and Dark Souls best played on PS3 with being lead platform and all.

But keep trying :lol:

Witcher 2 is not an exclusive, it is also on xbox 360

Gears 3 = 9.5 >>>>>>>>>> Uncharted 3, Shogun 2 and LBP2

Skyrim best version is on 360, best controls and PS3 version is unplayable

Dark Souls performance is much better on 360 and visuals too, PS3 is weaker harwdare, so it makes no difference if it was the lead, it still runs and looks best on 360

If Skyrim is unplayable on the PS3 how did I manage to get the platinum on it and beat it completely like a week ago? I finished it the day the patch came out for it actually

It is simple, it actually has tons of exclusives and the best version of the biggest multipltforms

Plus the quality of its exlusives if throught the roof, PS3 had zero 9.5/10 games like Gears 3 for example

A full year head start, relatively cheap (in comparison to PS3), and it did have "system seller" exclusives earlier on, just not anymore.

Ooooh boy, let's all pull up the metacritic shall we?
Uncharted 3 : 92/100
Gears of War 3 : 91/100

By your analogy, Uncharted 3 > Gears of Bore 3. For stuff and giggles, let's throw in LittleBigPlanet 2: 92/100.
Yes even LPB2 > Gears of Bore 3. And yes I know Witcher 2 is announced for the 360, but untill that game is released it stays exclusive to the PC for THIS year. And you're wrong, console peasants like you can only dream of PC-quality/fidelity with games like Skyrim.

Because everything changes. Exclusives were once the most important thing, now, obviously not. It still sells and people play games whether exclusive or not on it. Never understood why it matters to some. Don't buy it, but hating on it says more about haters then it does about the console.

Because 360 users let them get away with releasing so little exclusives since 2009, Microsoft knows they can get away with it without Sales taking hits. Plus they put a lot of Money in to Kinect and they're going to push it.

Since 2008 :P

Why does a lack of exclusives matter to a new buyer when the backlog is quite substantial?

I'm referrring to the just recently concluded holiday sales. It seems to contradict the notion that the 360 is in bad shape.

Unless Gears 3, Halo CE, Forza etc somehow dont count

Strange, because 2010 was one of the best years for 360, with Fable 3, Halo Reach, Mass Effect 2, Limbo, Alan Wake etc

This year they had Bastion, Halo CE, Forza 4, Gears 3, Trenhced, Half MInute Hero, Gunstringer, Rise of NIghtmares etc

And those were actually good to amazing games, not 7.5/10 ones like Infamous 2

Did people stop caring about multiplats? Seriously. If there isn't anything exclusive that is coming out, I switch around with mutiplats and give my consoles equal love. Not that hard. A console shouldn't revolve around exclusives only if so then your collection is small.

Halo CE is not an exclusive. If that counts than so can all the HD collections that were released on PS3 this year.

You bash Infamous 2 for a 7.5 yet you praise Fable 3 even though it got the same score. Mass Effect 2 isn't a exclusive, Limbo was a timed exclusive. That leaves only Halo Reach and Alan Wake

I really hope you're on MS's payroll. Surely someone wouldn't humiliate themselves for free

But you said The Witcher 2 wasn't an exlcusive becuase its coming to 360 next year. You're side stepping and self contradictions are quite humorous
