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

If they U3 was more popular than Gears 3 it would have sold more. But it didn't, so it must not be.meetroid8

[QUOTE="BattlefieldFan1"][QUOTE="Miketheman83"] How is something more popular, yet it sold less? That makes no sense whatsoever.meetroid8

Dude.. just stop..

Casual garbage games that are 99.9% cut scenes and 0% gameplay dont sell anything

The only place sales matter and whether or not a game is exclusive is here on SW. Other than that it's meaningless.

[QUOTE="meetroid8"][QUOTE="BattlefieldFan1"] I can understand lems have poor logic, so I'll forgive you this time and explain it again. You guys have a lot of money lying around because there are no exclusive games for the 360. So if any mediocre garbage comes out, you go out in droves to buy it. The PS3 users already bought a lot of exclusives before U3 came out, and thus a lot of them don't have a lot of cash laying around to spend.OhSnapitz

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

PAL360

Well, 360 seems to be the best console for casuals and core gamers. It gets all core games like Skyrim, Dark Souls, Mass Effects, The Witcher 2 (according to some, the most hardcore game on consoles), etc; and Kinect, which already has many A and AA exclusive games available.

The truth is that what sells big in the US market and the 360 as well as wii is casual garbage and brogamer dreck. Hell, the CoD crowd infiltrated PS3 Nirvana when Sony cut out functionality of the console to get the price in line to the mass market. All of gaming is suffering for it... Well, except on PC.

..or devs & publishers found logic in releasing said titles to multiple platforms.. That doesn't take away from their "core-ness"..

You guys are notoriously conservative in your tastes. It's part of the reason why people are capping on it so much nowadays. Hooray sales, I'll give you that. However, quality has gone out the window.

Oh, just another thread from an idiot who thinks sales = quality.

[QUOTE="Shewgenja"] Elder Scrolls is a PC series, essentially. Dark Souls is the sequel to a PS3 exclusive, lol @ Mass Effect (read my previous post in this thread as to why, and add extra lolsauce when 3 becomes the "fastest selling title in the franchise") and the Witcher is also a PC-based title. I mean seriously, don't tout the 360 as the champion of the core gamer just because it can have everyone elses leftovers, or at least come up with better examples. Convinced, I am not.

[QUOTE="exiledsnake"]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.delta3074

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

Yea xbox doesnt need halo pfft it was one of the only decent launch titles.

EXCLUSIVES PFFT who needs em? CONSOLES

[QUOTE="BattlefieldFan1"][QUOTE="Shewgenja"] No, but what I *am* saying is that those franchises were more or less started on other platforms that *do* cater to the core gamer before being brought over to 360-ville. The lone exception to the rule in that list being Mass Effect.. Which even it's own fanbase is chomping at the bit at for becoming too casual and having a linear ending.

Why do you equate a System Wars mentality with US/worldwide sales?

I know, it sucks. I literally can't enjoy a game unless it sells 20 million copies. I have so many games that I bought just laying around. I refuse to even take the plastic wrap off of them before they sell at least 15 million.

I tried playing games before when they didn't sell 15 million plus, and I thought I was having fun, but I went to look at the sales charts and it reminded me that I was in fact not having fun, because the game I was playing didn't sell a certain amount.

Unfortunately, I probably won't ever end up playing a lot of the games I own, because unless they sell 15 million or more, they're just not going to be fun games.

Well, I can't speak for all PS3 fans obviously, but I own/have owned UC1 and 2, Killzone 3, Demon's Souls, MGS4, Infamous, Valkyria Chronicles, LBP, and all three Resistance games. I plan on picking up GT5 XL Edition and UC3 also.

I mean, if you're going to own a PS3, at least use it correctly...

The 360 dominates in the USA because of patriotism. Of course the console with more units in the USA will have more software sales.BattlefieldFan1
