In terms of exclusives the Xbox has had a terrible year. Some franchise whoring with Halo Wars and ODST, no AAA exclusive yet. What a stinker

What happened to the PS3 in 2007?SergeAndKidIt was a new console in it's first year with a very bad sales problem. Exclusives (or games) for the PS3 was not a smart business move at the time, especially when a lot of the big multiplat companies were cancelling games left and right so that they could have some of the Wii pie.
Well you got splinter cell coming out next year and thats about it. There is a couple of really good ps3 exclusives and there would be nearly double of those this year or around in the next 6 months if MS had not stole them. So ps3 only has gran turismo and Uncharted 2 instead of being able to add Tekken 6 and FFXIII.
You can include demons souls if you want to but I'm not sure its as great of a game as reviewers are making it out to be. OH....I almost forgot you can include MAG in there if you want to. That game may really turn out to be something.
Mainly MS's biggest problem is that ps3 is droppoing in price making it harder for the 360 to compete with and MS has no creative exclusive video game developer talent by their side like Sony does at the moment.

What storm? The Multiplat storm? :P
Which usually sells way more on the 360It happens to every console, dont get excited about it lol.
Besides, the 360 will have Forza 3 and Halo, and already had Halo Wars which is an awesome game.
It's been pretty poor. Not much next year either interests mefenwickhotmailME2 and Crackdown 2 im already on the list for! OT, i dont really care, theres always something to play. i can get caught up on games i missed in the past (which is what im doing)
it is a great game, reviewers arent over praising it.[QUOTE="Sonwhy"]

He'll have to play it to decide that. I thought LBP was overated but everyone seems to think its amazing. The overated/just right praise reallly is a personal thing.

Thankfully, 360 has a great community making it easy to communicate with your friends.

Can you give me some details as to what makes it so great? First off how long is the game, does the game offer multiple story paths with different endings, can you change the characters clothing, how big is the game world, when you talk to people in the game how often do they have different things to say instead of just repeating themselves, how cool are the bosses, does the game switch from night to day, how good is the story in the game?
I could probably think of more questions but I really think its a game I should rent but I am curious about it but when it comes to rpgs I just have not really seen anything that is next gen so to speak of or else it would have everything I listed above and then some.

Last time I checked IGN gave ODST a 9.0 which makes it AAA status.... Just a thought.
Also everyone seems to get hit with a drought these days, which is no biggie since it gives you a chance to play through all your old games you have yet to beat or gives you time to play exclusives from other systems you own. Plus there was a slew of great multiplatform games this year with plenty more to come.
So the only way you are really screwed here is if you don't own any other system and play only exclusive games.

It looks to be a great game, that's all I can say as I've yet to play it, I'll come back & tell you once I do. I think PS3 wins in the exclusive department, but because of the 360's superior controller most other games are a better purchase on the 360. Most, because some games just were never meant to be on consoles.actually, the ps3 07 was better than the 360's 09 so far. The ps3 had 3 AAE's, while the 360 doesn't but of course we know with the games comming out starting tonight it WILL have some AA and AAA games. (not that any of that really matteres to me)[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Same thing which happened to the PS3 in 2007. Went through an exclusive drought.ermacness

1. First off how long is the game?
2. does the game offer multiple story paths with different endings
3. can you change the characters clothing?
4. how big is the game world,?
5. when you talk to people in the game how often do they have different things to say instead of just repeating themselves?
6. how cool are the bosses?
7. does the game switch from night to day?
8. how good is the story in the game?
I have made 3 characters in the game, i put 20 others into 2 of them, and my main character which is a knight, i have at lvl 187 and have spent 90 hours playing, I almost have the platinum trophy.
Same thing which happened to the PS3 in 2007. Went through an exclusive drought.Stevo_the_gamer
Thats wrong. PS3 hadquite a fewexclusives in 07, it was just going through a Gamespot AAA drought.
Heavenly Sword
Uncharted
MotorStorm
Folklore
Warhawk
Theres probably a few more that im just not remembering.
But the 360s 09 IMO is probably the worst year a consoles has had this gen. Next year things seem to look amazing but this year is just so meek. Especially compared to the other 3 systems.
every console has a trouble year with games it seems. wii, always.lol. ps3, 2007. and the 360 this year.and even still were getting odst and forza 3.which are plenty for me.considering this is definetly a multi-plat year. i mean, the only AAA exclusives(and i mean on metacritic) are killzone 2.we dont know about uc2 yet.but 2010 will definetly be an interesting year for all 3 consoles.especially the 360 with it getting mass effect 2, sc:conviction, alan wake, halo
:reach, crackdown 2, fable 3, natal, and most likely gears 3.and im sure some unannounced games.
I forgot Fable3 , the others are multi-plat. They aren't exclusives but they are not on the ps3 , that is what matters .[QUOTE="Miyuki-Chan"]

shutdown_202
Six exclusives.
Five of which were fall titles.
The Xbox 360 has had four AEs till now; with ODST, Forza 3, and GTAIV Episodes coming up -- I don't think it'll have much challenge overcoming PS3's dismal 2007.

Yea... just wait right? Don't you think someone could do the exact same thing you just did and call ODST, Forza 3, and that expansion fail titles?

Yes , but also the exclusive storm of 2010- Alan Wake , Crackdown 2 , Halo Reach , Fable 3 , Gears of War 3 , and NATAL games !God of War 3, MAG, White Knights Chronicles, Agent, LBP2, Heavy Rain, Gran Turismo 5, DC Universe Online, Tales of Visperia, Final Fantasy Versus 13, FF14 online, The Agency, The Last Guardian, Quantum Theory, Yakuza 3, and the WAND games! :o
If you mean GameSpot score, ODST already is an AAA.Well, theres still ODST and Forza. Hopefully one of the two reaches AAA.

Franchise whoring is releasing like 3 Resistance games in 2 years and releasing 9 R&C games in less than 7 years. Besides Halo 3:ODST scored AAA here at GS, Halo 3:ODST93soccerRFoM came out November 2006, Resistance 3 probably won't come out until November of 2010 at it's earliest, so that's actually 4 years not 2... and when did anyone talked about milking of franchises...?
