Simply put, the PS3 wiped the floor with exclusives last gen.

Well that's your opinion

We don't need to play this game.

2011 and 2012 saw a lot of high quality PSN games as well, but we're not talking about indie games and I didn't mention any in the first place. For full-featured AAA games (that is, games with huge budgets), Sony has for the last few years brought out the most unique and intriguing software. You acknowledged it and I said it. We don't disagree, so let's not try to find room to disagree just for the sake of disagreeing. I'm not in the mood for it or any other brand of intellectual dishonesty and speciousness, frankly.

Unless you have a strong inclination to play Gears of War Judgement or 3 (and not even hardcore Gears players like those games)...or Halo 4 (hardcore Halo players recognize it as the worst entry into the franchise)...or Forza Horizon (one step forward, two steps back), there was little over the last couple of years for 360 owners to get excited about. Very damn little. Instead of letting Rare develop Conker, Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark, Banjo & Kazooie, and Kameo, they pushed them towards Kinect Sports and similar. They let Bungie simply walk away. Remedy gave the 360 one game in its entire lifetime before moving onto the One for Quantum Break. A number of other studios were closed along the way like Digital Anvil.

The 360 was held together, IMO, by the strength of multi-platform franchises and brands since the launch of Kinect. You know, the Call of Dutys, Maddens, NBA2K's, Maaaahvel's, Street Fighters, and GTA's of the gaming world. That's just the truth of it coming from someone who's been an Xbox Live gamer since the month after it came out on the O.G. Xbox. So you don't need to talk to me like I'm one of these new, lost cubs on this forum. We started posting here at GS damn near the same time. Anyone saying the last few years of 360 gaming were good days for major exclusive franchises is lying to themselves. So again, here's hoping the next few years for the One look more like the first few years for the 360, and less like the last few years of the 360. More risks, more creative titles, and the revival of more dormant IPs.

I was talking about other, older conversations, NVM. LAWLosarus Rex....

Wait, it's my opinion that HALOCODGEARS are belong in the shooter genre? And Forza and PGR all belong in the shooter genre? That's an opinion?

Well COD isn't exclusive. And I really hope you don't think Forza and PGR are shooters.

But it seems entirely your opinion that the PS3 "wipes the floor clean" (whatever that means)

Lemmings don't realize that the 360 was the most unneeded and the most expendable platform last gen. PS3 had it's solid library that kept it's fans loyal and had something worthy to inherit from the Ps2. The Wii had the hardcore nostalgic mario and zelda peoples. The PC had well...Lostrib and these other peoples...Loyal, console hating fanboys...But the 360 only had people who enjoy XBL and it so happened to be that the only thing keeping XBL sustained was COD and HALO and GEARS which are all multiplatform franchises. 360 had Halo reach, halo 3 and halo 4, and had Gears 1 and 2, I think and also Forza and PGR. 2 racer franchises and 2 shooters. THAT'S IT.

If you had a solid entry level 500$ PC and PS3 you were golden last gen. If you had a PS3 alone you were set to go.

I said this a few months ago before the PS4 launched in this thread:This thread

"Anyway, I was making a very good point yesterday when arguing with lostrib. I had a theory that the only thing—according to you Lemmings every time we ask what makes the 360 better than the PS3—is Xbox Live.

So I concluded that Xbox Live is the only thing keeping the 360 afloat. So, I then asked what’s keeping Xbox Live afloat and the answer became clear. Bro-Games. Gears of War, Halo, CoD, Forza. All bro games that trendy gamers seem to enjoy. Fact: Xbox Live was originally built on a Bro Game (Halo 2) on the original Xbox. Us cows have wondered why the Xbox is able to get away with such a linear library, so there’s the answer.

All Xbox supporters are trendy gamers who enjoy games like Halo, Gears, and Call of Duty. Halo and Gears aren’t even exclusives anymore and neither is Forza. So take away these three games and you’ll have CoD, multiplat. But, back to my main point. The Xbox 360 appeals to the bro-gaming market and the trendy, repetition lovers who enjoy games like Halo and CoD. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, I’m just establishing that the Xbox Market is pretty straight shot and clear and M$ knows who their supporters are and where to make their money."

Is that why you're on SW, rather than talking to yourself?

He's a really sad fanboy. He may tell us to f*ck off again, which would hurt my feeling very much.

@psymon100: hahaha. Perfect.

Holy **** I missed some supreme stuff in this thread.

@seanmcloughlin: Dude, it was a good time last night. I made a really stupid joke, just because, and johnny meltdown was immediately upset and in defense mode, so I was like,

Yeah, most of those console exclusives were pretty forgettable.

Your tune is changing then to selectively omit titles that did bring creativity to the table. Are they triple A budgeted games? Of course not, but as a gamer, should we only care about games because they have high budgets? I'm afraid I don't ride that train of elitism nor do I plan on riding it anytime soon. If a game like Journey (Gamespot's 2012 Game of the Year) can beat out those "triple A" budgeted games then that should speak volumes about the route you're taking. Nevermind the fact that Toy Soldiers Cold War and Minecraft are some of the best damn games I've ever played on the Xbox 360--so much for being "small time." I'm not whining about the last couple of years for a console that's been around for eight years, I got more than my money's worth out of that machine. It took the PS3 a couple years for it being worth a damn so it all evened out in the end for me. If you think otherwise, that's gravy mate, but I don't feel the need to poo on an inanimate piece of plastic because it didn't have the triple A budgeted exclusives to cater to my tastes.

Mainly just how fucking awesome Sony and the PS3 is, delivering a barn bursting amount of world class, GOTY, high scoring exclusives throughout the entire life cycle of the console.

LOL @ POLL HOLY SHITTT!!!!

Not really as the PS3 didn't have a decent exclusive games until 18 months after launch. It took awhile for the PS3 to get some exclusive games that were actually worth playing. XBox 360 had a ton of AAAE & AAE exclusive right out the gate.

The wii had the most high rated exclusives last gen so no,lol

Its all subjective if you're going to try to do this. I loved both my consoles but Halo is still my favorite series, so does that mean 360 won? No, its a business and the purpose is to move product so the Wii won, imo.

Ps3 won in sales and games.

whyis there multi plats on the list?

Because lies.

It's a metacritic list and I'm.sure everyone knows which titles are exclusives l and which aren't.

no it didn't. It lost in sales

Console exclusives last gen brought shame to consoles. PS3 and 360 combined cannot compete against PS1 or PS2. PC had more great exclusives than both consoles combined last gen. The only platforms that had worthwhile exclusives were DS and PSP. Now that Vita is pretty much dead, the only good exclusives I'm expecting for the coming gen will be on 3DS.
