I felt so compelled to swear in this post, but the mods will be on my back so I'm going to hold it back, lol. I hate when people make huge lists of exclusives comparing consoles like it's a huge factor. It's like all fanboys and people with no common sense do this and it's so annoying. I think it's a poor way of showing off what a console truely has to offer. In additon it's extremely stupid and almost completely irrelevant if your goal is to look for the most enjoyable and best games.
Look, I understand that doing the whole numbers thing makes a console look like it has more to offer, but does it really? I'm going to talk about the 360 because this console clearly has more exclusive games. Xbox 360 owners (I'm one myself), I know for a fact that there are better FPS's than Perfect Dark Zero. There is no denying that. So, if someone wanted to buy an Xbox 360 today and they wanted the best of the best: why the heck would they want to buy Perfect Dark Zero? There are clearly games superior on all levels in single player and multiplayer AND replayability for Xbox 360.
Let's not stop there. Can anyone explain to me why the hellthey would want to buy Ninja Blade, if there is a higher quality game like Ninja Gaiden 2. Don't give me this "the more games the better" nonsense. With the higher quality games that come out these days, you get so much replay value out of them. Also, once you play a high quality title, it's just not fun to play a title that's not up to par. Usually the people I know have a variety of high quality titles that are typically the same ones rather than random AAE's.
You guys need to understand that people buy 360s usually go for the Halos and Gears, not these other games. It's about quality more than anything. If there are two games for similar genres, I don't see why it's such a big advantage to have like 4-5 different games for that same genre when 1-2 stand out and are clearly the ones worth playing. There is certainly variety between FPSs, but not enough to justify picking simply good shooters when there are great ones.
Do you see now why it can dumb to compare the consoles by number of exclusives? Infact, a lot of the time multiplatforms generally end up being better games than the exclusives (more so with the Xbox 360). I just see the exclusive numbers game as such a lame argument. You buy a console primarily for the quality of games (multiplatform/exclusives) it has to offer and your preference of franchise games.
