Should Xbox 360 owners start worrying?

The PS3 lineup has been great ever since the release of MGS4. Killzone 2 has just added icing on the cake. Now with upcoming anticipating titles on the horizen ( MAG, Uncharted 2, inFamous etc.), I'm a little concerned that the Xbox 360 is just going to rely on more multiplates, paying for more timed exclusives, and releasing more Halo spin offs for the duration of the year. My question is, should we be a little concerned?

First Xbox 360 owners=/= Xbox 360 fanboys

Second the 360 is doing just fine, Sorry to tell you that, but the 360 will do just fine.

This has been debated thousands of times it seems. So why create another thread?

No they shouldn't, they have a lot of multiplats this year, and it's just slow for exclusives (although they've had 4 to date, I believe, in 2009).

No... MS hasn't even released all their exclusives yet.. I'm pretty sure Sony's unvieled everything they pretty much have for 09

Lol, fanboys act like multiplats dont work without an exclusive beside it lol. All those multiplats and a $200 model console is enough to bring casuals over to the 360 side. Not to mention the vast array of previous titles and exclusives that are dirt cheap now. MS know what they are doing, look at their history, they have some very smart business people running that division, we only need to look at the short time they have been in the gaming market to see that. They will have the exlusives this year. They just dont want to give sony an advantage. Why would you give the company with the biggest brand name, the company you risked your reliability to beat to the market to minimize the effects of the brand name, and the top dog the last 2 generations, any kind of advantage?? Thats exactly what Sony did, they announce all their games, and gives MS time to plan in the background. So MS beat them to the market while they were unprepared, and the rest is history. The same mistake was made by fanboys in 2007, 2008, and still are doing it now, yet MS had the exclusives, the timed exclusives, and the MULTIPLAT SALES on their side, it will be no different this year. ;)

I'm sure Microsoft has something up their sleeve.

Wish we had a program to not allow duplicate threads.

How are titles for another platform a reason to worry? I fail to see any logic in this thread.

There's still about 25-30 games on the 360 I haven't even played yet, that I want to try out sometime.

No. Xbox owners have nothing to worry about.

The Xbox 360 already has more quality exclusives than the PS3 so far this year. :?Stevo_the_gamer

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]The Xbox 360 already has more quality exclusives than the PS3 so far this year. :?-Snooze-

Too bad more does not equal better and the best exclusives have been on PS3. Sony chose to invest in first party development, Microsoft chose to invest in third party. It paid off for MS early on, now it's paying off for Sony. Longterm Sony has the better strategy and PS3 will have the better games. At some point as the PS3 user base continues to grow it will become too expensive for MS to continue paying for exclusives timed or not.EmperorSupreme

Not really. The worst case secnario is that they only get multiplats for the rest of this year and Bioshock 2, Max Payne 3 and Modern Warfare 2 etc, should all be great.Floppy_Jim

[QUOTE="EmperorSupreme"][QUOTE="-Snooze-"] This. It seems unless the exclusive is a gray shooter it don't count :(navyguy21

yea but sony first parties share resources and if a development studio like GG makes an engine like they did then they share it with any first party dev from sony to ease the costs of producing their own engines like what unreal does with their engines

PC gamers should start worrying the most, I heard PC gaming is going to die in '10.

stupid question, why do we care which sells more? Both consoles are great and it just depends on what exclusives you like, personally I'm selling my 360 tommorrow for a ps3 because metal gear solid4 and killzone are just too good to pass up, and gears of war and halo just never meant much to me. nhl0994

[QUOTE="navyguy21"] Buying an exclusive is cheaper than developing the game yourself. You have to factor is not only the budget of the game, which alone is more than buying a game, but also devs salaries, building upkeep, taxes, and all the jazz that comes along with running a business, or development studio. Also, buying is much safer, it allows you to "cherry pick" games to ensure success, or profitablility. When developing a new IP, you dont know if the game will succeed or not, which is why we see repeats, and rehashes all the time.navyguy21

yea but sony first parties share resources and if a development studio like GG makes an engine like they did then they share it with any first party dev from sony to ease the costs of producing their own engines like what unreal does with their engines

actually i didnt say that unreal engine is cheaper, but i think thats more about how much royalties unreal wants from w/e company is using their code, besides no matter if you buy the game or you make the game you still have to front the costs of development and take the hit if sales are not up there, in fact i dont think it would have made a difference if MS bought a game like TLAD expansion or they made it themselves if they could, they still pay for its production

now to be back on topic, unless sony sells the ps3's like they are wii's MS has nothing to worry about at all

i thought this was another rrod thread

Yup, I guess 2nd place isn't as bad as 3rd :P

Ahhh well.

I own both, so I sleep like the dead.

Um, sorry for not specifying by replacing 360 with "both." :|

[QUOTE="navyguy21"] so is the PS3 :lol: you make it seem like PS3 is in first and 360 is third, and getting beat by the Wii :lol:navyguy21

I understood what they meant, I think you just saw what you wanted.

If the PS3 is in last place to the 360, logically if the Wii outsold the 360, it would also be outselling the PS3.

That wasn't hard.

don't pay attention to what this originally said, what i meant was everything is rosy and awesome and great for the PS3....heh i get reported for splashing the cold water of truth in peoples faces everytime im on here so maybe i should just lie and keep my account intact.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what I said?

As far as games go, I wouldn't be worried unless E3 doesn't have much to show. PS3 is where it's at right now, unless you're the type that only cares about sales and not the games :P.

I'm pretty sure I have seen a thread with this exact title before. To answer your question, there is no need for 360 owners to be worried about what games the PS3 may or may not get, unless they are 360 fanboys. That is another story.
