PC > Wii > PS3 = 360.

[spoiler]

PC:

  • Diablo 3 - 8.5
  • Fall of the Samurai - 8.5
  • Wargame: European Escalation - 8.5
  • Crusader Kings 2 - 8.0

Wii:

  • The Last Story - 9.0
  • Rhythm Heaven Fever - 8.0
  • Pandora's Tower - 8.0

PS3:

  • Twisted Metal - 8.0

X360:

  • Akai Kantana - 8.0

[/spoiler]

Just about half-way through the year and the HD Twins are not doing great in the metagame. Even a console dying fast like the Wii is still sweeping the floor with the PS3 and 360 with a couple extra high quality exclusives. How do you guys expect the end of the year to play out? Will the Wii continue to stay on of the HD twins, or will they have a turn around? Let's look at upcoming exclusives for the PS3 and X360 and find out:

  • The PS3 has Record of Agarest War 2, Way of the Samurai 4, LBP: Karting and Wonderbook.
  • The Xbox 360 has Dance Central 3, Steel Batallion, Fable: The Journey, Halo 4 and Forza Horizon.

Looks like multiplatform games this year will dominate again on PS3 and the Xbox 360 should pick up some HQ games. Journey and Steel Batallion could go either way being good or poo due to the inconsistency behind Kinect. Dance Central, Halo and Forza are known quality franchises so that's a safe bet there.

What do you guys think?

With the release of Dragon Quest X Online in Japan, it will be the Wii's true swan song.

Jesus, I just realised how poor the exclusive line-up is for both HD consoles this year, discountingDLable games.

Still, in a way that's good. They're obviously winding down for current platforms and gearing up for a next gen release.

You'd rather play 1 AAA game than 4 AA games?

Not exclusive. And oops! I'll add Karting to the OP. That might be the PS3's only hope for at least an AAE.

Two games versus one game could go either way, but when you're talking three high quality games or more against an one game... then that logic goes to sh*t fast.

It doesn't work like that, because everyone has different tastes so you go on raw numbers. The Extra AA game on PC makes up for the Wii's AAA game in any regard, I'd be like saying MGS4 > Bioshock and Gears together because it scored higher.. that's derp logic.

One more issue with your ranking. I just looked over the exclusive game list for Xbox 360 so far in 2012, and Akai Katana is the only 360 exclusive released so far this year.

So are you majorly biased, joking, or seriously saying that Akai Katana = Twisted Metal + Starhawk?

Look at the discussion ITT of people making the argument that 2 AA games are better than 1 AAA game. Starhawk is at a 79%, Twisted Metal is at a 76% and Akai Katana is at a 77%. How does a 77% > a 79% + 76%?

The PS3 is going to lose a lot of exclusives as well because of the Vita. MLB 12 The Show for example would be PS3 exclusive but it's also on the Vita, and that game is at an 87%.

You know, Rhythm Heaven Fever, Pandora's Tower and The Last Story were all released last year elsewhere outside of the US. You always use these double standards in every one of your threads. You have to maintain some sort of unified rule system or else things just get all messed up like they are now.

Plus, you forgot Starhawk in the PS3 list.

Well then how does Twisted Metal (8.0) + Starhawk (7.5) = Akai Katana (8.0)?

They were reviewed this year and were released outside of Japan in Europe and NA this year. Xenoblade was released in Japan and Europe and was reviewed last year hence why that's not on the list. This isn't rocket science.

Metagame doesn't take into account A games. They are only used as a reference in the spreadsheet, they hold no ownage value.
