Wii has most confirmed exclusives in development

Gaming Target has updated their Excluisve Arms Race feature detailing all of the exclusive games coming to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii. And for the first time since the site began tracking exclusives, the Wii has come out on top.

The current totals stand with the Wii at 113 (23 released/90 unreleased), the Xbox 360 at 96 (47/49) and the PS3 at 47 (8/39).

I think that graph will only get a bigger difference. The PS3 and 360 cater towards the same group and they do usually get the same games for the most part. If not right away they'll get them both over time. Most games for the Wii couldn't be brough over to the PS3 or 360 due to the control method and it would have to use a new engine supporting HD and all that. So I think we are going to see a lot of multi games and then Wii games. Sony and MS will only have thier own devs making the exclusives and have to pay out for 3rd party exclusives.

This is all in the short term run. Maybe 2-3 years down we'll start getting all them exclusives back again, but right now each is fighting for a nice instal base.

HOME, LBP, Singstar, and the God of War trilogy's last installment will impact the PS3? (I know they didn't want to include downloadable content, but these are big, except for GOW3 ~ this game will be mighty mighty sick). =]

Anyway good showing from all involved imo.

Bring my bubbles back guys. We've got some booty hurt fangirls waiting in the lurch to drop IED's on peoples bubbles. Let's go!

wii has the most coz wii games dont take years to make like the 360 and ps3 games.

GodofPeace6877d ago

These are just confirmed exclusives. we'll see more from all sides of the competition. However yes the Wii is very easy to develop for because people just creates mini-games

ChickeyCantor6877d ago (Edited 6877d ago )

So easy development equals mini-games?
The Wii is just more simple then the other two, and its no wonder its almost using the same GCN structure, and lots of devs are already known with it.

If the PS3 and xbox360 get something( like a tool) that makes game development easier doesnt mean there is only going to be mini games.

Edit:
you talk like if there are only mini games.

GodofPeace6877d ago

You can't tell me with a straight face that the majority of the games coming out of for the Wii are collection of mini-games,party games and non=games like Wii Fit

ChickeyCantor6877d ago

"Satoru Iwata thinks this could push the Wii to even greater sales heights than the PS2.(currently sitting at 120 million sold worldwide and counting). If that happens, expect to see more exclusives that will appeal to a segment of gamer (the so-called “hardcore gamer”) that might currently feel neglected by the Wii."

Not sure about the 120 but i agree about the games.
There will be games for everyone.

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.

solideagle22d 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

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg28d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree28d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai28d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde29d ago

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.

Soy30d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12529d ago (Edited 29d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
