The 360 sort of fails at delivering truly exclusive experiences.

Just curious, why did you buy a 360 if you don't even like it? Why buy a system that you think fails? Why would you waste money? I mean you claim to own all systems but you don't like the 360, which there's nothing wrong with not liking a product, but it still doesn't make sense to buy a product you don't like.

There is a difference between not liking a system and hating one, I dislike 360 becasue it doesn't suit me. You however seem to hate it. I do hate MS however, they treat custmomers like crap and try to nickel and dime them on every single thing.

[QUOTE="PinnacleGamingP"][QUOTE="Another48hours"] But Europe and Japan are only 2 and the others are 4, and if you divide Euro and *** from the 4 it's still 2. So that means it's paralayzed, meaning that those 4 are world wide. Also, you have to cut the Japanese body count for the natural disaters, so it's really only 1 1/2Another48hours

Not what I asked. PS3 is selling fster based on shipped numbers, however the 360 is still in the lead with more sales (or shipped units).

Not last year. ;)

no ps3 sold more world wide units

MS announced in their quarterly report that the 360 had shipped 66 million consoles (as of Jan 2012). I believe Sony's last reported numbers (Around Oct/Nov of last year) were 55.5 million units.

Feel free to update them then. I'll wait.

Sony has yet to finish their Q4 IIRC.

Lol, 48 hours is always going on and on about how I don't have a 360.

Maybe if he says it enough times, it will disappear.

[QUOTE="arkephonic"]

[QUOTE="cloudff7tm"]Everybody knows that already. MS can't really compete with Nintendo and Sony when it comes to exclusive experiences. I have enjoyed quite a bit of exclusives on 360, but Wii and PS3 do a better job when it comes to exclusives. I do think the 360 is a great console regardless though, and I dont regret buying one. Everybody is looking for different things or are in different situations, ya know. So if the 360 isnt doing it for you thats fine. Just get rid of it if you have one or avoid it if you dont.Another48hours

I actually like the 360 quite a bit. I have around 40 games for it, and I don't sell games or consoles anymore, so I'm stuck with the 360 for the long haul whether I like it or not.

I'm just pointing out that it doesn't really have anything to differentiate itself.

Micrsoft will keep going with this business modeal as long as people keep buying 360s. They proved exclusives do not equal everything,

Dang, look how clean and unused my 360 looks. It's because I've had a sheet on top of it for the last year preventing dust build up. LOL!

no those figures are off.

Multiple sources are reporting statements made by MS and Sony in their quarterly reports (i.e. reports released to shareholders).

Here's one from MS directly. Link.

Here's a link from Sony. My numbers were outdated, as they released their report in February 2012. Link. Sony is currently sitting at 62 million shipped units.

microsoft direct? do you think that adds any credibility? try a neutral source, one thats not advertising kinect and one thats not from microsoft.

PinnacleGamingP

That's Microsoft's website. You do realize they can't release falsified records, right? It's against the law.

You're trying to troll, but just coming off looking ridiculously dimwitted.

----

Just to add insult to injury, 66-62 million = 4 million. MS is in the lead by 4 million shipped units. Ouch.

Their most critically acclaimed exclusives are a third person shooter (Gears of War), a first person shooter (Halo), and a racing game (Forza).

FPS the most overused genre this generation. Third person shooters are everywhere. Racing games are pretty generic. It just seems like you can get a great first person shooting experience anywhere, and there are so many great third person shooters out there, and lots of good racing games.

With PC, you have RTS games, MMO's, and tons of other exclusives that you just can't get anywhere else, not even similar experiences. There's nothing else out there like Metal Gear Solid 4, or Uncharted with the platforming, puzzles and 3rd person shooting combination with the verticality. Games like LittleBigPlanet differentiate themselves from everything else, as do games like Heavy Rain. Games like Skyward Sword and Super Mario Galaxy are unlike anything else out there, multi-plat or exclusive.

It just seems like the critically acclaimed exclusives on PC, PS3 and Wii offer experiences you can't get anywhere else, while the critically acclaimed exclusives on 360 are very generic, and the experiences are very similar to tons of exclusives on competing platforms as well as many multi-platform games. They don't even have the dialog like a Metal Gear Solid 4 to differentiate themselves.

I know that Kinect is unique, but it sure isn't critically acclaimed.

arkephonic

it is just not possible.

you do like 4 anti 360 threads everyday so unless a 360 sexually assaulted your mom and then goes to your school and brags about it there is no way anyone could be so nutty about a game console.

And I would counter that exclusives were not MS's focus in this generation, as evidenced by literally every business choice they made. And it seems like it worked for them.SpruceCaboose

They kinda were, considering the GTAIV episodes and Alan Wake fiasco.
