Sales of Sony's best-selling title Resistance: Fall of Man dropped by 66 per cent, nudging it down to number two in the charts, while MotorStorm sales also fell by 62 per cent, as it reversed into the number three position.
 The three who were camping inside at 6pm today were keen, the first to arrive, **** Thomas (pictured with me) had turned up on Virgin's doorstep at 5am that morning, but he had many more hours to wait out before someone else joined him, at 11.45am. The third, and last (when I arrived at 5pm) to rock up was Omar, who had got there only a few hours prior to me, was planning on buying six consoles to sell on eBay. Although goodness knows if he'll go through with it, as after hearing me discuss the low profits made by reselling the consoles on eBay with **** he took me aside and asked me nervously if I recommended he go through with it or not...
While it's easy to pass off the PS3's decrease in exclusives (and the Wii's unchaged status) on the removal of the "Non-US" section, I think it goes deeper than that.
The Wii has basically two kinds of games: enhanced PS2 ports and exclusive Wii-centric titles that make full use of Nintendo's new control scheme. Some might look at this as a handicap for the Wii, but I see at as a system that is focused on knowing what it wants (a variety of games for all) and going for it.
On the other hand, the PS3 seems to be genuinely losing exclusives. I'm not going to predict gloom and doom less than six months after Sony has launched their next-generation offering. But for gamers looking to the PS3 to supply a gameplay experience that can't be had elsewhere, it's not looking good. And with the constant rumors of Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII jumping to the 360, Sony should be worried and they should be attempting to fix it.
[QUOTE="cakeorrdeath"][QUOTE="Nike_Air"] It shouldn't count imo.

Why?
Game normally exlcusive to Playstation is now lost. i.e lost exclusive, seems simple to me. Seems more complicated to me. Can we use Ninja Gaiden Sigma ?
