Something still baffles me when fans speak of PS3 exclusives...

[QUOTE="LovePotionNo9"]If they like the games, I'm guessing that they feel they don't need sales to tell them that the game is good. And as such they probably feel as though they have minds of their own and don't have to follow the hive mind.OhSnapitz

Obviously a milion isn't a lot. And the sales of PS3 exclusives make the games worse because they just do. I cringe every time i play a PS3 exclusive that has sold less than a million knowing it would be so much better if it had sold a few more copies. /S

Someone said earlier in this thread about PS3 gamers having too many choices to choose from. you know whats funny? I can't choose between all of these exclusives. Should i buy GOW? Jak and Daxter? Ratchet and Clank? Sly Cooper Killzone series? Resistence series? Should I try LBP? Or maybe I should give Starhawk another chance. Journey looks decent for a Digital game. I heard Demon's souls was great. Twisted Metal is supposedly a lot of fun. I tried Infamous at my friends and it was a lot of fun and i'd like to buy it.

Honestly, I can't decide from all of these exclusives. When i had my 360 All i could choose from was Halo, Fable and Gears for action games. yay, three series and i didn't even like Halo 3 and any of the Gears games.

i like how theres not a single lone multiplat that only has (PS3) in brackets :lol:....soo many games on ps3 its called even distribution....if you add up total sales of all games on a system, you will then know ps3 exclusives destroy the nothing thats on the 360.PinnacleGamingP

I don't think it works like that, considering most multiplats sell better on 360...

I don't really understand this post, but then again I don't really understand the logic behind any of your posts.

Hint: You have to be an actual core gamer to care about exclusives, and the core gamer is a dying breed.

You are being replaced by a slower, dumber and less savvy consumer and you enter this era of piss and crap with cheers and the sound of clapping. The same reason the gaming industry gets away with charging you for online, day 1 DLC, "episodic content" and "Premium game service".. You answered the question in your own OP. Take a look at the biggest selling game and now you know who is playing on the consoles.

The console gamer market got so split that we don't see anywhere near the variety of games we did when there was a clear game console that catered to the core base as well as casuals. It made developers actually have to try to come up with innovative or special software. Now, you just choose a platform and piss all over your customers for as much money as possible. and it's not like you're going to see any of the gaming publications say a peep about it when companies are willing to throw money out the window to promote peripherals and such.

[QUOTE="Miketheman83"][QUOTE="campzor"] please list a ps3 exclusive which has an 8 hour campaign with no multiplayer... besides uncharted 1 , god of war 3 and the ratchet and clank games.. ill be waitingcampzor

just because you named them doesn't mean he shouldn't add them to his list

also, you both forgot heavenly sword

PS3 owners don't usually buy a lot of games to beging with. Even multiplats fall short on the PS3 on sales and it's not because everyone has an xbox they just don't like games as much as the xbox players. They do sell just not like xbox games. I my self never bought a Killzone or infamous or grand turismo for example. But i did get Metal Gear 4, heavy rain and little big planet.

I've said it once.. xbox players really really really love games... you can easily satisfy them with almost anything. and Wii owners most of the time don't even finish their Mario game they just buy it and leave it in the corner to have something to play on the Wii when they feel like playing it or have someone to play with.

Thread proves that 360 and Wii are for casuals and brogamers.. Just sayin'

what im saying is, you dont see one single multiplat with only PS3 in the bracket, so who says multiplats sell better than the ps3 exclusives on a single system?? No one can.

^This is what developers do to cater to the 360 audience. U mad.. 'bro?

You say hipster, I say gamer. After all, I had an Atari 2600. What was your first game machine, an N64? http://youtu.be/o8uyNV5vK_I Shewgenja

Well, you do have to consider that Sony has no freaking clue on how to market their games. Why? Because it doesn't exist.

Maybe, maybe not. If you go on Wikipedia and check out the sales of PS3 by regions, you would see that Europe (16M) accounts for more PS3s than US (13.5M). Granted those numbers are from 2010, but the overall pattern I believe should probably be the same even in 2012.

I never said that it was the "weakest region." I was merely questioning your point that America was PS3's strongest region.

your comparing multplats which are sold on more then one platform to exclusives which are only on one platform? please go before you make a fool of yourself

infinite884

Since this is NPD you should also take into consideration how many 360s and ps3s are out there in america. 360 exclusives sell better in america because the install base is far larger.exiledsnake

Perhaps but as for 360 exclusives selling better overall? Its a myth that people continue to keep alive.

Why do all people talk about 360 exclusives like everyone of them is Halo? GT5 sold more than all 3 Gears of Wars games. Halo isn't the only 360 exclusive. Kameo, Saints Row, Dead Rising and other former exclusive franchises didn't sell nearly the amount Halo games did. Fable & Alan Wake didn't either. Uncharted 2 sold more than both those games. Really its no different than PS3. Not all PS3 exclusives sold like GT5 and not all 360 exclusives sell like Halo
