Just wondering; there are 4 gears of war games on the xb360, 3 Uncharted games on the ps3 (+ 1 if the vita is included). Maybe I'm wrong? Just wondering because you said uncharted had more games than gears?

Funny no -$ony exclusives, though we all know Xbox is the premier games console with the best franchises

I'm pretty sure having only one big exclusive a year kind of narrows down most people's choices on what to buy.

When Uncharted 2 came out, so did Killzone 2, inFAMOUS, Demon's Souls, GT5 Prologue, and more. When Uncharted 2 came out, so did Killzone 3, inFAMOUS 2, LBP2, Resistance 3, and more. That kind of makes it hard to choose. I know I only chose Uncharted 2 and Demon's Souls in 2009 but I wanted more but couldn't afford them. I also only got inFAMOUS 2 and Uncharted 2 but wanted more and couldn't get them.

When Halo Reach came out, the only other games were Fable 3 and Crackdown 2, two games considered to be the worst in their series. When Halo 4 came out, the only other game to come out was Forza Horizon, and I guess you can say The Witcher 2. Halo was the biggest and mostly the only exclusive people bought in the years the games came out.

Halo 3 was crazy though, the lineup for that year was pretty good with Forza 2, PGR4, Crackdown, Lost Odyssey, and Guilty Gear 2, but it still sold like crazy.

You're a joke xbox had way more million dollar sellers across the board than ps3. Stop trolling boards and go buy some games.

@steve_ps - Technically there are 2 Uncharted games on the Vita. So you have uncharted 1-3 on the ps3, Then the Golden Abyss and Fight For Fortune on the Vita. So Uncharted has 5 games Vs The 4 Gears games.

@Zerotino

Didn't know about the card one. Regardless, this list doesn't seem to include mobile platforms so both vita games are irrelevant in that list.

Of course Gears and Halo is on there. When it comes to exclusives, that's about all you have with Microsoft. Everyone with an Xbox probably has at least one of those games from those two franchises.

That's the biggest complaint I have regarding Sony fans in general. They ask Sony for games and Sony obliges with a wide variety of exclusive games only for Sony fans to not buy them as much as they should. They go to Sony and say, "You know what would be great? I could have console quality performance only in a handheld!". Then Sony listens and they come out with the psp and the vita. And then vita promptly sells poorly and the psp did sell poorly until the monster hunter craze hit Japan and people discovered that a hacked psp is a damn good emulation machine.

Sony fans like to brag about their exclusives (for good reason) but they don't support Sony enough by buying them. Meanwhile Xbox has very few big exclusives by comparison but they almost always sell(abominations like gears judgment excepted) to the point where it takes multiple big money exclusives to match one halo for example. Nintendo is even better with Mario Kart Wii selling 33 million.

The point is Sony nor any other company has unlimited funds. If Sony puts out great content and it's not bought, it is only a matter of time before Sony stops making those games.

That's not really an excuse. I own a ps3 and bought every ps3 exclusive. There are some great games that deserve to be on that list, but it looks like most PlayStation gamers just don't buy very many games.

@voodoo

Sony's big hitters such as uncharted or GT or GOW sell just as well as MS big hitters. Sometimes one does a bit better than the other.

Off the top of my head Halo is about the only IP that consistently outpaces most of the Sony 1st party games averaging about 10 million on each release, but then Sony has GT(about 11 million), so it's kind of a wash I guess.

Looking at the PS3's overall exclusive sales it looks like the user base is just more diverse, so interested in different types of games.

Somewhere during last gen gamers got it in their heads that if games weren't doing COD numbers then they were flops. However most of Sony's mid-range releases still sell above 1 million copies, which is generally considered a success by any reasonable studio for games that don't cost 100 million to produce.

So, while you feel that Sony fans aren't supporting Sony by not buying games, that's just not really the case. The fact that Sony does make those games that people say flop is the reason so many people stick with Sony and have faith in them to keep on delivering.

Xbox fans have a lot of games to buy just because it is not exclusive doesn't not make a game. This generation has even showed this with titan fall leading two months in a row.
Xbox gamers buy games were Sony fans brag about games that they say are better. Psn giving away a lot of games will eventually hurt sales of top brands for you Sony gamers especially the young kids who are now being trained to wait for it to be free on Psn.

@MysticStrummer

That's revisionist history. The xbox 360 had double the game attach rate than ps3. The xbox 360 owners bought twice the games than ps3 owners per console your argument fails hard. It just wasnt a few francises the xbox 360 had way more 1 million copy sales and that's why developers loved it so much. 3rd party developers made a killing on 360 sales wise.
