 Agree or disagree. 

Do you guys just not want games?

Do you guys enjoy repitiion?  You seem to love cod and halo and Mario.

 Are your console companies just not listening?  What is going on here?

Everyone plays whatever is out for their platform. That's why they chose it; because games they like come out for it.

Because unlike the great library we saw during the first 4 years of Xbox, the 360 is garbage. We had more games in 2004 alone than we have seen in the last 4 years put together. Better games too.

Apparently you don't frequent Xbox.com forums much. A lot of people are pissed that they don't make their games anymore. Most people who bought a 360, bought it for a hell of a lot more than Halo, Gears and Forza. Most are calling Halo 4 complete garbage.

360 has more good games then PS3, while Wii has more good exclusives then PS3. Seems like it's the Cows settling. Shouldn't you be hyping more meh to crap games like Resistance, Gran Turismo and that Smash Bros Ripoff?

Never played them but they have to be better than a Wii Sports clone made by a generic studio still trying to go by an established name.

Only if your going by VGChartz and of course bundled sales are always included as well. Popular doesnt mean good either. To me, popular means dumbed down for casual mass appeal. Morrowind sold far less than Skyrim even though it was a much better game. Also, what does Playstation Plus do for sales when the games are given out for free instead? Or how about plus discounts taking people away from the purchase of a real copy? Whether its VGChartz or a reputable source, digital sales are rarely ever tracked. That's a good thing for Microsoft too because On Demand games are priced way too high to even want. The first On Demand games I bought in a year only happened because of last weeks ultimate sale. I bought 12 games. Because of Plus discounts though, almost all my Playstation purchases are digital. That's something NPD does not report.

That's a serious flaw in numbers. Especially since Sony releases their games digitally on day one. Microsoft diesnt for 90 days. It used to be 6 months. With the incentives that Sony offers to buy digitally, there is not much of a reason to buy physical copies which throws off any real numbers vs reported retail sales.

Certainly. Not all, though.

  1. Xenoblade
  2. The Last Story
  3. Dust: An Elysian Tale
  4. Skyward Sword
  5. Trials: Evolution
  6. Forza
  7. Dead Rising
  8. Lost Odyssey
  9. Fable

Anyway, where did TC talk strictly about exclusives? CoD isn't exclusive ;)

rotflol you so  funny , worst post of the year candidate number 3 

   because if i remember right it is the cows that hype their games to no end!  they really would play anything ,  

even if it isnt from a well known good ip , 

        example they will play knack and hype knack before they play and hype gran turismo  or twisted metal infact did tm even sell any good? makes me sad watching a cult hit not sell but a new ip that looks like garbage and probably plays like an average platformer ,  will sell more

   

see sony fanboys it is you who have problems within your own camp and you dont even know it,

everything nintendo puts out sells ,  

everything microsoft made sold well , 

 but sony ,  hmm  their lucky to break the 2 -4 million mark  oh and by the way , ps3 doesnt have a single game made by first party that can compete with mariokart wii sports wii sports resort nintendogs or pokemon ,       mariokart sits tall at 30 million sold,     (goes to corner to celebrate)

Except the areas where it plays differently, which was a lot more than I expected. It's nowhere near as good as Melee or Brawl in the things they do similarly except for better stages than the latter, whose stages were terrible. Also, the fan service in the game is absolutely incredible. Like, every one of Nathan Drake's moveset I was shocked at how they incorporated something Uncharted. Having three attack buttons all with their own up, down, and left and right moves is awesome too.

Those Wii sports games only sold so well because they were bundled shovelware. Meanwhile Gran Turismo 5 has sold over 9 million copies. Even the demo. Prologue sold over 5 million. Last Forza numbers i saw didnt look so good. Microsoft really should have kept Bizarre Creations around because they really did make the better Xbox racing game. http://www.polyphony.co.jp/english/list.html

 Are your console companies just not listening?  What is going on here?

wasted_wisdom
Hhhmm.. there are over 900+ Xbox 360 games and the Wii over 1200+ games. So they have games. More games then the PS3. There are like 12 different genre of games on the XBox 360 and Wii. CoD is on the PS3 and PC as well. I actually have too many games to play right now and not enough time to play them all. I haven't even started SkyRim, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Borderlands 2 or Fry Cry 3 yet. Never had any problems with finding games to play on my XBox 360 or Wii.

Forza 3 & 4 blow GT5 away. Even Polyphony came out and apologized to their fans for the poor result that is GT5. GT5 is more popular because Japan & European gamers have loved it since the PS1 and neither country care much about Microsoft or their games. Most of the sales for Forza 3 & 4 are from America with a few from from Europe. GT5 get large sales from all 3 major regions. That's the reason it sells more. It just has a larger fanbase from before Forza even existed. Funny thing is GT5 and MGS IV are like the only games that sold over 5 million for the PS3. Halo has outsold GT5 and MGS IV. Forza has outscored GT5 across the board. It's still the better game. PGR is still exclusives on the XBox 360. lol!! Even that game is better then GT5.

Doesn't everyone?

The main reasons I bought a console is for their exclusives. It's why I made the mistake of buying a 360 early in the generation. They had all the games the PS3 didn't have, eventually those series were ported to the PS3 though (BioShock, Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Eternal Sonata, etc.).

Sorry dude but PGR is a far better series than that trash they call Forza. Newbish game for the casual gamer. At least Sony stayed with their original franchise
