Seriously what happend guys? It seems that the two big next gen consoles (360 and PS3) have atleast 80% of the same games as the other. Devil May Cry 4, a game coming from a series that was exclusive to the PS2 a few years ago, now on 360. That was just one big title others like Call of Duty 4, Skate, The Elder Scrolls 4, Lost Planet, The Orange Box, all of those seeped onto bothe consoles (as well as PC too). What happened to the days when you enjoyed your console and bragged to your friends that yours was better for this game or that game ,hmm? It seems that Third Party Developers don't understand the ease they are putting into when people want to choose a new console. You might buy a PS3 for Ratchet and Clank or Heavenly Sword or a 360 for Halo 3, Gears of War, or Bioshock, but the majority of games are multiplatform to say the most (although the 360's console only status is higher). I didn't even talk about PC games yet, but the fact that major console games are on the PC is really a good thing. Who agrees with me or wants to let out there need to adress this fact?
It makes the decision harder, because there's only less than fifteen exclusives that are REALLY worth getting. But hell, they want to make money, so why not put it on every platform? Everyone can enjoy it that way.
nowadays, games cost huge amounts of money to make, and if the game doesnt sell enough copies your losing money.
If the game is multi platform then it will sell more.
the only reason games like gow, halo and mgs are exclusive to certain consoles is that they just own so much they will sell over 1 million copies.

But why wouldn't they port it over and make more money? I mean, from a business standpoint, I don't really see the point of it. If God of War was on all three platforms last generation, they would more than likely just make more money.
the wii is the only one you can count on getting exclusive games its been this way since last gen 80 percent of xbox and ps2 games are third party there for they wont be exclusive to a system unless sony or ms pays big bucks for them to do so
look at all 360 and ps3 exclusives they are made only by ms and sony or their 2nd party devs , nintendo doesnt need to shell out big bucks because every one likes wii quite frankly and since wii doesnt focus on expensive graphics third party makes profit day one , another plus is they already know gamecubes architecture ,, where as all ps3 and 360 games have to be done from scratch ,, and is more harder and more expensive on them to do so , this is why they can not put many games on only one of the other consoles, there are less ps3 and 360 owners then wii owners, so its smart for them to put 80-90 percent of their software on 2 or all platforms, it gives them a broader audience to go from
In case you haven't noticed... we're moving closer to the one console future... its gonna happen... colmusterd28
Theres nothing wrong with that. This has been the most expensive gen for me. Better if its sooner than later. I think nin will always be seperate, ps3/360 might as well be the same console.

if the big 3 joined forces and all released the same console with the same specs and only looks were the difference, i bet fanboys would still find something to argue about. i hope there is a one console future, then we can all just enjoy gaming wthout the sillyness
This is why I dont understand why people say PS3 has NO games? Both main systems get nearly the same games. Like always...every gen...You cant lose with either system PS3 or 360..
The Wii probably has the most exclusive games because lots of developers don't think the Wii will be compatible with their game which hurts for the Wii because they miss out on a lot of great games. (Assassin's Creed. COD4 ect.) So they just put it on the PS3 and 360 instead. But Nintendo has the most first party games which helps a lot in the exclusives.
