The triple A games

**Warning long unbiased read ahead, attempt at your own risk***

I think everybody can accept the fact that AAA games come out on all systems. Regardless of power, novelty items, or brand name.
So what does that leave to distinguish our beloved console beasts.
That leaves the power and novelty items of course. The giga and teraflops, the motion doodads, online features, and the lovely platform exclusive games we all enjoy.

I'll take a moment here in the middle of my rambling to say this. I own only one console, for various reason I'm not going to venture out and get either of the other two. And believe you me opportunities to have an xbox or a wii in my home have been plentiful. I however am a strictly monogamous playstation 3 owner. Call me a fanboy or whatever it's no problem of mine.
I've enjoyed playing wii games at friends houses, I've heard and examined the bountiful harvest of the xbox.

My reason for not owning one is a strict disdain for the corporate giant M$. Far be it for me not to hold against them their censoring and overpricing ways. I was ruined for microsoft products long before the original xbox was a twinkling in some executives wallet.
Now I did give them a try once back in the day, I tried playing the halo, but found it to be against the grain of my tastes.

My reasons for not owning the other are much less convoluted. I simply don't own a wii because there are less games I want for it. Also the rare games I do want to play on it I can dip my toes into at a chums house.

Now what did I start jabbering about in the beginning. Oh yes I was going to extol the virtues of platform exclusives and the importance of one console being faster than others.
Like I started to say, any console can have triple A games. The things that keep them apart are the tall electric fences of copyright.
If those fences came down you could say that any console could have super mario galaxy 2 on it. That I'm sure is easy to agree with. Especially with the incoming motion controls for the remaining two systems without.
You would probably be hard pressed to get alan wake running on a wii however. At least without a substantial drop in all things graphic related. The same can be said as you move up the chain of power. The gameplay would work but try getting an xbox to produce god of war style graphics without melting something.

Which brings me to the simple statement. The ps3 has the most power and can run any exclusive game the other consoles can put out. Not that we'll ever see such a thing, or that it would in any way be a good idea for mario or halo to go multi platform these are just the facts.

Now for the tail end of whats on my mind I'll say this. 99% of multiplatform games would be better off being exclusive to one system or another. They don't go multiplatform for artistic reasons they do it strictly for the dollars.

It's a bone of contention for many that final fantasy 13 seemed to be missing pieces. Though it seems to have been confirmed that they cut out nearly half the game. For reasons many choose not to speculate. What is unspoken by many though is widely known, stuff was cut to fit it on two dvd's. That's it. I'm not saying they ruined the game, but they did neuter it quite severely. The imaginations of fanboys run wild of what could have been had square ran wild and open on a bluray disc, or might I say even two.

Other games seem to suffer less on the xbox and instead of being rendered down and cut to bits they shine. They shine more than they do on the ps3.
May I introduce red dead redemption. Many call it game of the year, though we only be part way into a year full of game of the year contenders.
Unfortunately rockstar was apparently struck with some nasty amount of being lazy with their ps3 port. Their is obviously no reason it should not have equal or better graphics than the xbox version.
Even worse though is something that seems to plague half or more of multi platform games. Bugs, bugs and glitches galore. I know, people are constantly telling me their not game breaking, which their obviously not. Others even say their just funny LOLOL. But of course such humour and defending is not apparent in console exclusives. Not at all as far as I've seen. Since I only own a ps3 I assume this is true of all systems.

Now hear this. If all the great game developers had just chosen a side and said this is where we stand. This is the system we will develop for.
The other system, I'm pretty much just comparing the two now (xbox and ps3), probably would have ended up dead in the water. If rockstar had decided not to bring gta4 to the xbox it would have seriously damaged it's sales in years past.
You can deny that if you want but it's a fact, grand theft auto has some serious clout in that department.
The same could be said if they had just switched to xbox and ditched sony's system. The ps3 would have taken a very substantial hit. The console wars as we know them now would be less of a war and more of a... Well you remember the dreamcast.

Now I don't have any problem with games being on multiple systems, what I have a problem with is bugs, glitches, and missing pieces in my games.
If I'm going to play a game and enjoy it I don't want it freezing up because a bunch of programmers where overworked and had to learn to code multiple machines.
I don't want to be playing through a story and feel as though I've been not paying attention for hours. Ideally every game could be an assassins creed and be A+ on all systems involved. If that means actually making two separate games under the same IP so be it, if that means working a bin harder and taking a bit longer again so be it.

I apologize for the long read. I will summarize the whole rant with saying. The ps3 is the most powerful of the three consoles. All three make great exclusive games, which I honestly would be glad for the most part (I really don't like halo) to see on my ps3. Many multi platform games have great and excellent gameplay and mechanics but often suffer by being multi platform. They would be better games if they were exclusive to one console or another.
It'll never happen but that's the way it is.

Thanks for your time.
