Has Xbox 360 too few exlusives?

i don't want to get a hate storm, just a discussion. There haven't been too many exlusives for Xbox. XBLA is great and all, but i think they are lacking having more exclusives. I don't know if anyone agree's with me

PS3 does have way more exclusives but the only one I ever really cared about was MGS4.

Gears is all I truely need. I'm addicted to Gears 3 competitive multiplayer. Even after I get Judgement I know I will still be playing Gears 3 regularly.

Gears3 for life.

It depends what execlusives you perfer. I perfer 360 execlusives. They are more of my taste then a ps3.

They have a good amount of exclusives, they just need some new IPGranny_Spanked

But honestly, if you don't like like Halo, Gears and Forza then what's the point of having a 360. For me it's all about Forza and Gears. I still play both series everyday and can't get enough.

[QUOTE="The_Last_Ride"][QUOTE="Canon-Gatorade"] I don't see how they are lacking exclusives. Explain why you're thinking this?insane_metalist

[QUOTE="The_Last_Ride"] Well sure they got Halo, Forza and Gears, but they don't have really anything else. There are some good XBLA games. But not anything else at least in my opinion that are worth mentioningThe_Last_Ride

well i read somewhere i think it was either ign or game reactor said that 4 new franchises are soon to be in the work or are in the works.. so this is good news for xbox (next gen)

Last Gen it seemed like MS was really focused on 1st party development, trying new IP's and focusing more on games. This Gen it feels like they don't have many 1st party games other than the 3 franchises that sold well and focused less on games and more on an all around entertainment experience. I hope that MS looks back on what made the original Xbox so great and focus on those positives for the next console. I'd personally like to see a good Fable game instead of the last piece of garbage that was released, maybe an MMO that takes place before the first Fable.Lebowski__basic

I think there are too few that are worth playing.  Though, I think part of that is the fully westernization of the system, whereas Sony has both western and japanese exlusives, allowing for more variety.  That said, I'm playing Metro 2033 now and am liking it and plan to get Alan Wake soon (I'm new to Xbox, forgive me for just getting these games now).  Though, I still think Uncharted 2 and Demon's Souls are amongst the best current gen exclusives (well, Halo 4 is also very good, just a bit heavy on the button pressing).

[QUOTE="The_Last_Ride"][QUOTE="insane_metalist"]PC/360 (non ps3, nintendo games) - Left 4 Dead series, Alan Wake, Dead Rising, Ninja Gaiden 2, Perfect Dark Zero, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Kameo, PGR series, Crackdown series.

For system wars "360 has no games"

For normal people there's 10-15 games dropping every single month.

They definitely need more. Halo and Gears of War just aren't enough. 

I got games that arn't even opened, if MS had more exclusives that would just mean that I would have a few more games unopened! Really to many game is just as bad, it caused the crash back in the 1980s.

To be honest, the only exclusive that I play now is Alan Wake. I have zero interest in first person shooters or Gears. Hopefully, there will be more RPG's next gen. I'm still holding out for a Star Ocean 5. Before it went multiplatform, Mass Effect was my number one Xbox exclusive, and even though I could play it on PS3 now, I won't simply because all my saves are on 360 and I'm not restarting the entire franchise to switch over to a different system which would be pointless anyway. 

Microsoft needs more first-party titles. They charge for multiplayer access for multiplats (which is free on other platforms), and then they continue to only put out one game a year from their 3 big franchises - Halo, Gears, and Forza. Yes the 360 still has a lot of great multiplats, but when these new systems come out, Microsoft sure as hell better have some new IPs (that aren't Kinect) lined up.

PS3 does have way more exclusives but the only one I ever really cared about was MGS4.

Gears is all I truely need. I'm addicted to Gears 3 competitive multiplayer. Even after I get Judgement I know I will still be playing Gears 3 regularly.

Gears3 for life.

I think it really depends on which platform is the leading platform for third party developers. Generally the platform with the majority third party support, will have less 1st party games.  With the first Xbox, MS had to have a lot of first party IP's because Sony dominated in terms of third party support and they were just entering the market. This time around, it was the opposite to start off the generation. MS had the cheaper console, with the leading platform for developers, so Sony had to make up for it in first party IP's.

I think this is always going to be the case. If you have the majority of third party support, you don't want to dominate the charts with your own first party IP's. Gotta leave room for the third parties to make their money.

So to answer the question, they could have used one or two additional IP's, but by them stepping back, I think it also helped keep the 360 as the leading platform for third party developers. It's a matter of balance.

I don't agree because Nintendo had a strong 1st party for SNES and had strong 3rd party games. Sega had a strong 1st party during genesis and strong 3rd party games.

PS2 had very strong 1st party and also had the majority of games. You don't have to take one and not the other. M$ just is getting fat on the hog, the suits overpowered the creatives.

Xbox is just an odd apple in that they are overly reliant and don't develop IPs because they cost more than buying timed exclusive content.

The main reason I still turn on my 360 is because of Fable, it is my favorite series on the Xbox and I have loved all the games. Is there a little drought of exclusives compared to the PS3? Sure, but I play my 360 more because of the great XBLA games, more of my favorite exclusives, and a better interface.Granny_Spanked
