I think it is the cows 'getting back' at the lems after the Lems bashed the PS3 for having no exclusives for a year. I'm sure it will swing back and smack the cows in the face, like it did with the Lems.

I actually wanted a intelligent discussion on predicting 360 exclusives here for a while, but I thought it would just get bogged down in the flood of "t3h x360 is diez" threads.

It's been that way since the beginning of SW. Attack, retaliation, damage control, deflection, etc.[QUOTE="SynisterGamer"]I agree we should put on ban on "no Xbox exclusive" threads...Wow these threads are really getting out of hand.

Same here, I own everything but a gaming PC and a PSP.

Given up? When have they ever been about exclusives? Their business plan since they first launched the Xbox has basically been a combination or two things:
1) Bringing PC hardware to the livingroom for non-PC gamers and easily being able to port back and for between PC.
2) Saying, "Hey! Why buy the PS when we have most of the same games but with better graphics?!"
Since they've entered the market, MS has offered some quality exclusives...there is no doubt about that. However, their attitude and marketing and business plan has been all about doing everything they can to get the biggest PS games on their console so they can say, "See! We have it too! Metal Gear? Silent Hill? GTA? We even have Forza for all you GT fans out there!" But then they also buy timed exclusivity for other games so they can pretend like they are the only console to offer those games.
You do know games get mostly announced at E3, right, and it's not E3 yet...
mitu123
Mostly they come out at E3, mostly..
No, and no. 1. Microsoft has not given up on exclusives just because they haven't announced new ones in a while. 2. Sony will not drop the price of the PS3 because they are hurting financially, and their assets couldn't take another hit from a price drop.DrinkDuffAgreed. The cows are on the prowl since GDC. LOL For some reason they all expected GDC to suddenly be the event to announce vide games... hahahaha MOO

not true. the ps3 launched with exclusives and always had exclusives. lems, like myself, bashed the cows for not having anything worth buying/playing until mgs 4 came out. that's two years of ----- games, not one.
cows seem to be on a rampage about the 360's 2009 lineup. you'd think lemmings would actually be more worried about thislawlessxlemmings have common sense and rationale..cows jump the gun on ..everything...

there's really nothing to worry about. ms's big hit titles come out in the fall/holiday season and they don't announce them until e3. since it would only be a few months away, all they have to do is put out one or two commercials for the game to keep the hype up so that the consumers will buy the game. if they take sony's approach, that is announce games years before they launch, the hype would die down over time and the consumer may not care all that much. also, the game could turn out to be a huge flop. just look at lair. announced in june 2005, launched in 2007, was critically panned and had poor sales.
the only time ms would announce a game a year before launch would be for sequels that were to be expected in the first place. like halo 3.
in short, most of ms's titles come out in the fall and they announce them a few months earlier at e3.

No matter how much lemmings bash, brag, and post game rating reviews, the fact still remains, X360 did not win a console war.

ok. i'll give you the fact that the xbox never one a gen. that's indisputable. but it's actually worse to go from being number one, selling over 100 million units in one generation, to being in last place with an over priced console in the next generation.
how can you say that lems praise AAA games that don't translate to sales? halo 3, and gears 1 &2 would like to say hello. as would few others like ME and gta 4 which sold more on the 360 than the ps3.
cows and sheep bash others. true. i'll give you that. but cows this gen have become so delusional that they would hype anything and everything ranging from firmware upgrades, the standard features that should've been in place since the beginning but were left out because sony refused to pay the company they stole the invention from despite the fact a judge ruled them to (read: left out rumble because sony didn't want to pay immersion for it), to over hyping games that are clearly going to be failures (lair, heavenly sword, motorstorm, etc.) the sheep can't hype anything or be proud of anything because nintendo took their money and told them to wait in the rain for a hardcore oriented title only just to give them abysmal shovelware. when the sheep ask where's mario and zelda, nintendo's response is "well we have wii music. that has mario in it. who was the other guy you mentioned?"
the xbox 360 may not come out in first place this gen. in fact, it's pretty much guaranteed nintendo will to everyone's dismay. but at least they won't be in last place like sony.

Lemming hyped everything too. As a matter of fact, lemmings hyped the most games during the PS2 era. it's funny that what you see cows nowadays are the same action and reaction XBox was, and XBox was in 2nd place.One of the most lame post the lemmings did, which by all standards, the lowest ever from any post from other fanboys like cows and sheeps, is to say that buying XBox and X360, are patriotic, or don't buy Japanese.
Another low for lemmings, which was not done by either cows or sheeps, is the games vs sales threads. The thread was created (even endorsed by some moderator) to discredit Wii's success and to limit lemmings insecurities. It's so low that lemmings forgot the difference between subjective and objective. You can throw some of the worst tantrums of cows and sheeps, but remember, it is neither of these fanboy who started the havoc thread about games vs sales. It is lemmings who created that thread that almost change the rules in the forum on how we judge a console (with the help of a moderator). Fortunately, with the help of other voice of majority of gamers, on the second voting, the rule that games>sales was overturned. Ironically, that voting thread happened when Wii outsold X360 worldwide. We all bashed here and there, but cows and sheep never, ever, change the rules like the lemmings attempted (which almost succeed).

i wasn't around for the highlighted.
if i remember correctly, it was the cows that tried to changed the rules about what scores to use regarding games. they were the ones that introduced the idea of using meta critc and game ranking to try to say that their hyped games that flopped on gs are not flops at all, but that overall they were doing well and fell within their hype. also, cows tried to change the rule by creating polls saying that ign scores should be used and not gs scores because "teh lemmspot iz teh biazed".
as for the patriotic thing, let's not forget the petitions that were created by cows after dmc4, ff13 and re5 were announced for the 360. the cows even went so far as to say they want people to boycott capcom and not buy dmc4 because they weren't being loyal to the sony franchise. fact is all fanboys say and do incredibly stupid things. this gen, the cows win by far in most outrages fanboyisms.
Hmm, let's look at Teh_Cell's last 4 threads:
"Microsoft has given up on exclusives", "How did Microsoft mange to screw up 2009 so badly?", "Has Microsoft give up" and "Xbox in big trouble" (found through posting history). Now, I'm no genius, but you are just pushing to be noticed with ill concieved threads, opinions and variety. Just stop, before you lose any respect PS3FanAddict might have for you.

what a lie, the ps3 had alot of solid exclusives before mgs4, uncharted, ratchet and clank, warhawk, heavenly sword, ninja gaiden sigma, resistance, motorstorm, these were not AAA here but alot of those were AAA on other sites, not to mention all the multiplats that were out. which is what 360 owners will be saying this year, i have all 3 consoles so it doesnt matter to me who has the best exclusives, just pointing out your biased lie.
