Right now, besides Splinter Cell Conviction, I can't think of any other MS games I'm looking forward to. Oh, Alan Wake.. that looks cool. What else is there?
On the PS3 side though.. Last Guardian and (pleasepleaseplease) a PSN 'ICO' and 'SOTC' are pumping me up. Also, GOW collecters.. GOW3 and Heavy Rain.
After that though? Who's gonna have what? And how longs it gonna take to get it?
Last I checked, Excitebike: World Ralley, Sin & Punishment 2, New SMB Wii, SMG 2 and Metroid: Other M are core Nintendo first and second-party titles coming out between November and Q1 2010. Plus, there's Zelda and Pikmin 3 confirmed to be in development as well. Nintendo's strategy has been offering a balanace of core and expanded audience titles just like what it has been doing on the DS.
Microsoft, you guys need some more first and second-party exclusives beyond Gears of War and Halo. How about something that's not an FPS for a change? By the way, I'm still waiting for Rare to prove its worthiness in this generation. With that said, I am looking forward to Alan Wake and Crack Down.
also, JimmynicricketSonyFanboy ftw!
Now that you point it out, that is a prett epic slate of upcoming exclusives from Nintendo. Someone can argue that a lot of the third party games have been awful, I'd still argue that the Wii has as many good games as either of the other consoles. I have a list of about 12 games I want to get when I get a Wii, and that's not shabby at all.
You're right, none of those games are "exclusives". But they ARE console exclusives. A lot of us can't afford to purchase and maintain a good gaming PC, so we have the choice between an Xbox 360 and PS3 for current-generation gaming. The cheapest gaming PC that can be bought or built comes in at about twice the cost of a 360 or PS3, which for me is unattainable. (My last "gaming" PC became obsolete when The Orange Box came out and I couldn't play it at anything above 10 FPS. I cried a little.)
I agree with that entire last paragraph -- Halo's all the 360's had recently, and I'm not interested in those at all. PS3, however, I've been playing new stuff non-stop.
Yep, they're exclusive to the Microsoft gaming platform, which the 360 is a part of.
When I think about exclusives, I take it to mean games that you are excluded from playing on certain consoles. You can't play Super Mario Galaxy on your 360, you can't play God of War on your Wii, and you can't play Lost Odyssey on your PS3.
What he fails to mention is that 90% of them are on the PS3 too! Plus all the awesome exclusive which just wouldn't work on an errorbox.
I can sacrifice gears and halo for the stack of sweet ps3 exclusives (real exclusives, not timed exclusives) in my bookcase.
I hate people who verbally construct 'sides' or 'teams' here, there is only one team here, and that is Gamers.
i want to know what incognito is doing right now.
just goes to show that the rampant fanboyism is actually something they're actively trying to encourage.
as far as I'm concerned, I've gotta agree with Jim. PS3 overtook the 360 this year in the games library dept. and it doesn't feel like it'll be looking in its rearview anytime soon. I'd just add an obscure little game called The Last Guardian to the ones Jim mentioned.
however jim you forgot a lot of 360 games, like gta dlcs, shadow complex and forza 3

teh bias
btw i find funny you mentioned infamous, i thought you hated it HAHA
in any case, i agree the ps3 is having a great year, atleast in my opinion

There's plenty of 360 users who acknowledge the ps3's catalog of great games without having to convince the people who willingly refuse to acknowledge it for reasons we don't need to go into.
Yea, some of us realize many 360 "exclusive" games, i.e. L4D2, ME2, etc, are in fact on another platform, but money is involved. Ideally, I'm pretty sure every single person would own a ps3 if they could afford one atm, if they enjoy good games. To say otherwise is delusional.
As a ps3 owner, I say let's just celebrate the fact that our system is kickin butt like we want it to and play some good 'ol next-gen games.
Here's to hoping the ps3-fanboy stigma is lifted.
However, as the article mentions, the PS3 has and will catch up. This christmas might be a good time to pick one up, but as an only console, I think the 360 catalog still has the upper hand.
