This is the biggest story nobody's talking about. The Xbox360 is in a serious drought. It won't top the Wii drought of '08, but people also don't take the Wii as seriously as they take the Xbox.
There hasn't been a big 360 game in my eyes in quite a long time. Which is why I passed on buying one today. I'll still get one eventually, but it currently lacks the "wow" factor.
Halo 3 ODST. Yes, its another Halo game. No, it isn't boring because you don't like it. I like the Halo series, and its one of the main reasons I bought a 360. Getting half of the PS3's exclusives made multiplat was just a bonus.
I can do the same thing anyway. PS3 has no worthwhile exclusives coming out. GoW3? GoW 1 & 2 are the same, nothing new except a graphics update. Uncharted 2? Boring. What I'm trying to say is everyone has opinions, but no one else cares.

I suppose that argument would work if you ignore the four AAAE games Sony already has out this year compared to the Xbox360's zero.

I'm surprised it's not a bigger deal.
Probably because the library is already great and there are pleanty of good multiplats. Its not liek the Gamecube which had basically nothing between Nintendo games.

You seem quick to ignore the fact the past 3 Halo games have all been AAAE's, yet ODST is just nonesense. :roll:

Hard not to consider the most overrated franchise ever to have existed nonsense.

the ps3 has 2 AAAEs this year...not four.
I count PSN/XBL/WW games. I haven't really heard a logical argument against counting downloadable games, so I count them. Also, MLB The Show is exclusive (being on a Sony handheld hardly counts as multi-platform..

/facepalm. Opinion doesn't equal fact, your argument is just falling to pieces. Halo's multiplayer, in my opinion, is second to none as for as console games go. Nothing about it is over rated.
Edit: As a side note, everything that becomes main stream becomes over rated to the hardcore kids.
But not really, though. I don't think it's that hard to compare. If the Xbox360 had comprable downloable games, it would show up in the stats. Including them is better than ignoring them.

i'm not talking downloadable vs downloadable. i'm talking downloadable vs. standard retail games. we've never counted them.
microsoft makes an operating system for the pc. the pc is not a microsoft platform. please don't start this again.
CaseyWegner
Does it matter if the game is only playable on the Windows operating system?
no. the pc is not a microsoft platform.
agreed, MS did the operating system for the dreamcast (windows CE) did that make the DC a MS console? no it didn't, the dreamcast is a SEGA console, and a damn good one at that.
[QUOTE="shawn7324"] Does it matter if the game is only playable on the Windows operating system?
shawn7324
no. the pc is not a microsoft platform.
No the PC isn't, but a game could be labeled exclusive to the Microsoft operating system correct? I can play literally hundreds of Windows games on Linux through the use of programs like WINE, Cedega, and CrossOver. It's not perfect, and not every game works. But I was just playing Diablo II and Halo on my Linux box the other day. And newer games like WoW and many Steam games work, too.

So I guess if someone rigged it up so that they could play their PS3 exclusive game on their PC then that works out the same way as what your stating right?
Microsoft has a huge interest in the PC market, while the PC itself is not a microsoft console, microsoft does benefit when it does well, so your both right, to a point. I still consider something exclusive to 360 if it shows up on PC because it wouldn't make alot of sense to shut out a part of your own business, it would be like Sony not making something for PSP that would make a ton of money and be super easy to do.
anyway, the ONLY game I am paying full price for this year when it comes out is Forza3. I played the hell out of the last one, and love it, I can't wait, only a few more months

how can it be exclusive to the 360 if you can play it on something that's not the 360?

:D I assume you agree with me about PS3 having 3 AAAEs insteade of 2 like you previously said since you didn't respond back? I wouldn't blame you if you didnt reply back but you shouldn't say things to mislead people when you are only supposed to be an unbias mediator on the board--you shouldn't let your personal prefrences persuade allow you to do unethcal things.
