Everyone knows that PS3 and Xbox360 have no exclusives.

r215025d ago

My god...ps and xbox fans uniting together to disagree with you :O

saladthieves5025d ago

Was about time these A vs B articles resumed showing up.

ShinMaster5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

a) They're counting games playable on PC.
b) They're counting timed "exclusives" or games simply released at different times.
d) They're counting versions of the same games already released on the PS2/GC/XB.

[edit]
They did -__-

Actually is a good reading, PS3 exclusives quality is top notch.

But adding kinect/move titles to the mix... its kinda lame, IMO

Gazondaily5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

Wow good article. It seems like both consoles have really got an even spread over the years in terms of exclusives and quality. The fanboys on here almost fooled me into thinking that one console doesn't have any games at all.

InactiveUser5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

This article's results were padded by sales; like that makes an exclusive good or not. They make it look like the PS3 and 360 are neck and neck in terms of exclusives.

"When it is all said and done it looks pretty even." My @ss it does.

360 won:
* "Had most exclusives in the year" (padded by Kinect, Arcade, and 30-40% rated games)
* "Had the highest total exclusive sales in the year" (sales #s)
* "Had the bestselling game in the year" (sales #s)
* "Had the highest top 10 sales average in the year" (sales #s)

PS3 won:
* "Had the best game in the year" (quality)
* "Had the highest overall critic rating average in the year" (quality)
* "Had the highest overall sales average in the year (sales #s)
* "Had the highest top 10 critic rating average in the year" (quality)

So PS3 won all quality categories and a sales category.

360 only won 3 sales categories and the 'most exclusives' category padded by poor games and multiplats (PC/360 or other combo; not 'True Exclusives').

@EeJLP
I just checked out http://factsvsfanboys.com/ and that site it so biased toward the PS3 its funny.

That site does everything it can to exclude top 360 games for reasons like "well Live Arcade games are basically HD PS1 games" but they include PS2 HD remakes in the list. It makes me LMAO that someone would buy that domain and take the time to keep it running just to spew their "anti 360" propaganda.

Fanboys trip me out man I swear.

mewhy325024d ago

Wow. I knew this one would stir up the bees. Look, if you love Xbox great, if you love ps3 great, or pc great. Competition among the manufacturers is good for us. Oh sheer numbers both had lots of exclusives. I'm not sure why so many n4g members get so torn up about this?

ShinMaster5024d ago

Funny, but that's not the same thing.
Those you mentioned are all exclusive PlayStation IPs released exclusively on PlayStation platforms. See the difference?

I probably still wouldn't count them though (if that makes you feel any better).

I'm sorry but didn't this article fail the first time it was submitted...and then failed again the second time

Guess third time is the charm

@EVILDEAD360

Well if other flamebait articles fail then this one should of aswell. It's only fair, just because you add Metacritic and VG chartz info dosen't make it any less flamebait.

Anyway this will will end up a hot topic, people will argue then get bubbled down. Same story...differn't aticle.

EVILDEAD3605025d ago

It's interesting that they fail this article when this guy seeemed to do alot of work..

We have seen plenty Metacric articles, sales articles, and a billion flamebait exclusives articles on N4G.com that make it through with flying colors with some of the laziest research ever.

Many of them are flamebait from the title to what's beyond. But, THIS particuliar one failing is interesting indeed.

It's literally the combination of VG chartz and Metacritic..but done year by year.

I give the author props for originality..as many site will literally copy and paste one VG chart and milk it every week.

The only thing that should be noted is you can compare year by year but these reflect lifetime sales of titles and not what they did that particuliar year.

Christopher5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

Originally it failed because it lacked a lot of the elements that are there now. It got approved now because the author went back and improved on the article.

Edit: Just FYI, I respect you guys whether your agree with me or not. Just remember to discuss the topic at hand and not the fans behind the platforms.

EVILDEAD3605025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

@ cgoodno

Then there you have it..guess the guy got it right this time and there is no 'interest' behind it at all. I stand corrected ..because this one is actually a pretty good stroll down memory land of this gen

@ Mike

That's the point..The flame passes with flying colors..some of it is from you know the Kotakus and the IGNs as well as the no name fanblog sites..I just gave the guy a little props for doing a lot more work than even the big boys and the flame N4G standards like CVG and that 'fake' Xbox site.

At the end of the day, I guess that's what brings in the hits..you now got the 'Official' console sites joining in as well..

Honestly whats there to argue..you either love or hate VG Chartz and it's the same for Metacritic..this guy laid em' both out there..so it's DEFINATELY going to get a strong reaction

But, what can't be argued is whether the games were released or not.

Anon19745025d ago

A bit of a thought provoking piece with one huge, glaring flaw. For sales data it uses VGChartz. VGChartz, the fan site run by the Neogaf user Ioi who was banned from those forums for posting bogus sales numbers back in the day, is notorious for getting their software sales wrong. Often when software data is made available by the developers themselves, we've seen VGChartz numbers off by more than 100%.

But as a fan site, there's no one out there to hold VGChartz to account for inaccuracies with their data, and as software sales are rarely made public - how can you even verify the data they present? All we do know is that when data is made available, actual numbers from devs and VGChartz are usually miles apart.

I applaud this piece for trying, but VGChartz simply isn't a reliable source and shouldn't be taken seriously. There's a reason no one in the industry looks at them. Microsoft's Greenburg once even mocked them via twitter. "LOL'ing at sales reports from VGChartz, why do people release info as official when there is no source or science behind the #s?"

What's sad is the site makes the bold claim "GC Spotlight is one of the few places you can go where only cold hard facts are used." I admire what they're trying to do, but you might want to rethink what you classify as "facts".

avengers19785024d ago

For me PS3 has the best exclusives, and that's why I'm always playstation first... 360 Has good ones too, Lost Odyssey was/is one of my all time fav rpg's, Gears is good. Playstation seems to have more, and usually comes out with a steady flow of new exclusives... that really hit a wide range of gamers.

Persistantthug5024d ago

It's just a year-by-year list with metacritic scores and sales data, but yeah, these kind of topics tend to be flame bait. The article also leaves out downloadable exclusives such as Journey and Bastion, etc.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle25d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7734d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga34d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199233d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga33d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman33d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger33d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box34d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion33d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7234d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7533d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit33d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14934d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7734d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
