MS Will most likely struggle for exclusives in 2011.

I can tell you right now that the 360 will have a hard time competing with the PS3's 1st Party exclusives in 2011.Nonstop-Madness

You are kidding right? Twisted metal? What a joke! that game hadnt sucked that bad since the last time it sucked. If i want to play that I just turn my car around in Forza.

MS claim they are starting to fund more exclusives. We all know they have the money to do so, if MS have one thing it's money.

I would much prefer they built there first party, but i can see them paying for exclusives ala ME1, Gears etc. In the short term this is OK, but for long term not so much.

Also ... I wouldnt mind a NEW PGR from Turn10

They don't need exclusives, seriously. They're great for petty comparisons on the internet, but in the real world when your 'box has every third party developer you could ever ask for behind it Microsoft simply have no need to be investing in making their own games. Ninja-Hippo

In reality a console needs third party support to succeed, but it needs exclusives to differentiate itself from other consoles and show what the system can do.

Sony has all the third party support as well as an impressive list of exclusives.

Nintendo has a lot of great exclusives, I'm not sure how the third party support is on the Wii in terms of quality.

If the best games on PS3 are exclusives, the 360 has the same multiplats as the ps3, and the best games on 360 are the multiplats, then the ps3 has better games than the 360.

They will probably buy two timed exclusive DLC or timed exclusive release multiplatform games to go alongside GeoW3.

That's my guess.

the 360 has the same multiplats as the ps3,Pug-Nasty

Hopefully Kinect fails. Nothing but shovelware will become of it, and hopefully MS will go back to funding good games.

Just pointing that there are more factors than exclusives vs multiplats, not saying one system is better than the other.IronBass

That's assuming the 360's best games are infact shared with the PS3 ... Which imo they're not.

Mass effect, Gears, Forza aren't on the PS3 and in my opinion are the three best series on the Xbox, 2 of which are multiplat.

The PS3's best games, KZ2, Demons Souls, inFamous, GT are all exclusive though.

;3 I like that sig.killab2oo5

you forgot about the modern classic:

Kinect Fourz

I'm fine with PC/360 games:)

lol the only ones who hate kinect are the gamers found on this forum. the majority of the world would probably look at kinect and see something special. kinect has the potential to breakout into something big, and for MS to put effort into that is no wonder. As long as ME3, GeoW 3, and others come out on the 360 i dont care if MS focuses on the kinect or not

Look at 2009? Forza 3, ODST, Episodes from Liberty City, Race Pro, Stoked, Star Ocean IV, Ninja Blade, Halo Wars, Raiden Fighter Aces, Magna Carta 2, 'Splosion Man, and Shadow Complex. That was a bit more than just 3.Stevo_the_gamer

That's true. I mean your point, not the best games argument, as I haven't played them so I have no opinion on them in relation to the rest of the 360s library.

I was more or less verbalizing an observation where ps3 owners typically cite exclusives as the best games this gen, while 360 owners often say the MPs are better this gen.

For me, ME2 and other 360/PC multiplats that aren't on the ps3 don't make me want to buy a 360, but rather a better PC. Not just for those games of course, but rather because my laptop sucks.

We'll see when we get there.

For a console that's been struggling with "exclusives" (as defined by the SW meta game...which of course represents real life) the 360 somehow manages to be a profitable in the black business unit for MS. Weird. Can that be said for everyone?

What is Rare bringing out this year? o.O Kinect Sports is hardly a 'game' ¬_¬
