Poll: Which console has the best exclusives so far?

[jebussaves88]

Having bought my Xbox 360 at launch, there was always a risk that the exclusives would dry up in the face of its competition. Luckily, this isn't the case. There are more than enough games released for it to keep me going for a good few more years. Some are exclusive, some aren't.
However, had I gone for the PS3, I doubt I would have been dissappointed. Metal Gear 4 is a huge draw for to me, and will probably lead to me getting a PS3 come next generation (when they're cheap).
I'm envious of some of the stuff that's come out on Wii. Having owned a Gamecube (as well as an Xbox) lost generation, I got into some of the old kind of games I hadn't played since having a N64 in 2000. The new incarnations of Zelda, Mario and Metroid Prime are probably an equal if not greater pull than that of Metal Gear 5. House of the Dead Overkill and Madworld are also appealing. However, had I got a Wii at launch (which I nearly did), I can't help but think that those 5 games alone would not have lasted a generation, and I would have ended up letting it collect dust as I retreat again to Xbox 1 or PC.

Xbox 360 of course. I once counted the 360 and PS3 exclusives in a store to show my m8 that there was more exclusives on the 360. There was 19 Xbox 360 exclusives and 7 PS3 exclusives and the amount of games on both shelfs were the same.

voted ps3 not because of what they have but because of what they will have and if KH3 is exclusive it will be to ps3 and KH3 rapes everything in the butt i dont care what it is

Yay, yet another possible flame war.

PS3: We have more power!

360: We have a better library of games!

Wii: Ours is a lifestyle choice!

PC: Ours has more updates and mods!

Yet all are just fine for gaming

PC has the best RTS, FPS and MMORPG exclusives.

Actually, the Wii currently has the best RTS and the Ps3 has the best FPS.

And the Ps2 has not only the best Hack and Slash, with the best of those being exclusive to the Ps3.

Eh?

PS2 hands down. Why wasn't it in the poll? Until the next/current gen can compete in the number of titles as the PS2 these threads are pointless. Both are still in thier infancy for crying out loud.

IMO the PS3 exclusives were not that great, well at least the ones i have played, and i have more fun with the XBOX exclusives, but to be fair the WII exclusives are fun too (mario, metroid, etc) but the ones i consider fun are remakes of older games...

soooo... i think there would be a niche between XBOX and WII

IMO

Either PC or Wii. If you think about it, most of the 360's games aren't exclusives (anymore) and, while the PS3 has a good amount of exclsives, they get a lot of leftovers.

I don't see that happening. Microsoft has shown that they don't give two shits about PC gaming, and they want to focus on consoles. Halo has always been meant to be console only, ever since the first game. In fact, I think it's the reason that MS fired the Ensemble team. Think about it. They have no use for an almost exclusively PC developer, but they had them make a console RTS, as they are a prominent RTS developer. However, once they were done, Microsoft had no more use for them, so they got rid of the team. I'm glad, because now they can go back to making more Age of Empires games.

M'kay, I've got a few things to point out:
-Microsoft has been making PCs and PC games years before they made the xbox.
-Halo was originally going to be a PC exclusive until Microsoft bought Bungie.
-Ensemble Studios has been with microsoft for years.

As for my personal favorite for exclusives, PC has Age of Empires and Blizzard. Case closed.

You realize that Microsoft dropped Ensemble right after Halo Wars was finished, right?

Whatever you're smoking, damn, it must be good.
Sorry, windows live gaming? That doesn't show an interest in PC gaming? Or bringing most 360 exclusives to PC like Mass Effect? Considering that Halo 1 & 2 were on PC, I've no idea how you are coming to your conclusion.

I think that Mass Effect was the last of the first party exclusives to be brought over to PC. Go take a look at the upcoming games for Windows. Then tell me how many are being published by Microsoft. They aren't going to focus on a Halo 3 port, I think they want to get this new Halo project that the Gearbox guys have been hired to underway. MS is moving away from publishing PC games, and that's why Ensemble no longer fit in with them.

Either the PS2 or the PC with this you will get the best games out at the end of the PS2 lifecycle as well as older games in the library and the PC has decades of games so it is no contest.

Good graphics < good gameplay. I am looking you you all those generic fps all over the place.

Great story > good graphics. Adventure games need to come back.

2-D is the way of the future. 3D is okay, but developers should really playtest and develop simpler games based on previous game engines. Overall the sales figures may not be as good , but they will require lower net profits to make money.

Plants Vs Zombies is PC game of the month by the way (based on overall game rating).

I may not own a Playstation 3 but I still had to vote for it. The only reason why I didn't choose PC is because you can't get Metal Gear Solid 4 on PC

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

360.

 

[daegranos]

PC, it's been around longer.

 

[Grayjack]

Have the flames arrived? Oh, and I won't say, because I'm scared of fire.

 

[The Rusk]

360. Not for Gears. Not for Halo. No way in hell would it be for Fable 2. (Which is kinda shit.)

The best exclusive of this gen, and any gen, is Earth Motherfucking Defense Force 2017.
Nothing on PS3, PC or Wii can hold a candle to the raw fun factor of that game. That game did everything right. It didn't worry about graphics. Realism? Fuck it. Old School style controls with modern ideas. So much damn fun.

You're not wrong there. Tis probably one of the only games that I really don't care about what it looks like... Or the fact that if you shoot a giant ant up close with your most powerful shotgun, it's guaranteed to fly at least 2kms. That game was just plain fun.

And to the rest of you arguing about exclusives irrationally, do you really care that much? No offense or anything, but there must be something missing from your life if you're not ok with missing the odd game here and there because it's on a different console. If you care that much then buy the other console. If you can't afford it then there's no use worrying about it. (This wasn't directed at anyone in particular just to let you know)

PC how is this even a contest, say what you like Starcraft was so popular Koreas going to be the only country in the world whos national sport has a sequel.
