Why are all the good exclusives coming out for the PS3?

Seriously, it feels like the Xbox 360 is getting left behind in the exclusives department. Whereas the PS3 is having a field day with titles like "God of War III", "inFamous" and "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves". The last big Xbox 360 exclusives were "Gears of War 2" and "Fable 2" and that was last year! I'm sure there have been some Xbox exclusives I may have overlooked, but that's probably because they weren't significant. Right now I kinda wish I'd bought a PS3 instead of my 360. Hopefully the new Halo: ODST will make up for the relatively small lineup us Xbox owners have been left with this year.

Yes we are all looking forward to another uncharted game....

Anyway, the thing is all the exclusives were last year and microsoft dosen't seem to have looked ahead. They had a announcement, can't recall who said it but it was along the lines of, you should be looking forward to what we haven't announced. I remember trying to find my invisable dog to give him a hug.

Dude Gears of War 2 was released in November of 2008, 6 months ago, same with Fable 2. Not really last year. Besides, do you really judge how good a console is doing based solely on the exclusive titles released for it. There's a bunch of great games for the 360. Just because they're not exclusive doesn't mean it's getting left behind.

Yes the PS3 is getting more exclusives now - but lets face it - they haven't had the easiest ride so far, the 360 had more exclusives, and now the PS3 is retaliating. To be honest though the amount of "must-have" exclusives is still lacking IMO.

Sony has some kick ass in house developers...

And that's just about ALL they have going for them right now... don't take that away from them...

It's all they've got left!

Won't ANYONE think of Sony's pocket book!

Why? Because a few games are in-house Sony, and as for other games... it's the PS3's turn (!?).

The games I bought my PS3 for were Gran Turismo, God of War, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid and Ico, and, as we've only had one of those so far (whereas all my 'games I bought my Wii for' are already out), it's only fair that Sony gets some decent exclusives at some point. It's actually not looking great for the 360 -> better for the PS3, but I'm fairly sure I said that last year.

Well the PS3 also has free online gaming and a blu-ray player so those are other reasons why I kind of wish I had bought a PS3 instead of a 360.

Well...save up your money and buy a PS3 then. I'm getting close to buying a PS3 myself.

Wow this thread must have came from Bizarro World or something. Sony is finally starting to put out some exclusives (well announcing them anyways) and you are complaining that they have a few? Each console needs a few and I don't see MS falling behind by any means. They are just playing thier hand closer to thier chest. Unless you are in the "PC means not exclusive" camp.

Well, many PS3 owners were making this argument against the 360 not to long ago. It was overshadowing the PS3 with it's exclusive DLC's and games.

It suppose it's time the PS3 had a chance. I personally don't own one, but I might get one in the future. Maybe.

What have they got really? God Of War 3 is just ninja gaiden in greece mixed with Gears gore
InFamous does look kool, uncharted is just lara croft with balls and a macho attitude
Granted the 360 doesnt have many exclusives, but its got alot of good games and the only game I really envy from PS3 is InFamous

cause Killzone 2 was just attack of the English Space Nazis

The 360 has outstripped the PS3 in the exclusive category for three years (though the PS3 didn't exist for one of them), and now the PS3 is a little ahead for once.

I have some catching up to do so I won't complain about one slow year too much, plus there's plenty of action left in Halo 3/Wars for me.

Those 2 or 3 exclusives one the PS3 per year won't save it imo. I'm sure the games are pretty badass but I think it may be too little too late for the PS3. The fact that they charge devs for bandwidth cost on the PSN is a real killer for them when it comes to DLC and games you can download.
I've never understood why Sony charge developers. The free PSN may invite more consumers, but until those numbers outshine the amount of cash devs can get with MS's xbox-live daylight robberies the devs aren't going to go for that.

To OP: I'm amazed you can consider future releases as 'good' exclusives before they've even been released. That kind of view has the smattering of a 'flame-war' discussion.

I hope you're kidding. While it may have affected the particular dlc packs, which I have a hard time getting excited over anyway, PSN has some great original games on it. I think there are some oldies too, I know we're getting Marvel v SF 2.

OP-I wouldn't feel too left out yet. Those games have yet to be released and so far the "big" ps3 exclusives have been more hype than quality. In fact, I would say the best exclusives on the system are still the little PSN games Ghostwise here was snapping at.

infamous looks cool but I'm betting Prototype (which you can get too) will be way better and I have a bad feeling Uncharted 2 will be to Uncharted 1 as RE5 was to RE4.

I know how you feel I was kind of jealous when I saw all the DLC the 360 was getting for games like GTA4 & Fallout 3. Then I actually saw and played the dlc and felt a little better for being left out.

I think when these companies stop acing like greedy children and make all the games/dlc for all the platforms, then we'll probably see more things worth buying. So far this gen, all of the games worth buying have been across all platforms and I doubt that will change any time soon: the ps3 hasn't even been out 3 years yet; usually the best stuff comes out after the 3 year mark. So maybe God of War 3 might be cool.

I can't believe you would compare "God of War" to "Ninja Gaiden"! That's like comparing Uwe Boll to Steven Spielberg! And "Tomb Raider" sucks last time I checked, whereas "Uncharted" is a critically acclaimed masterpiece developed by a company that's produced some of the best platforming games ever made! You're either nuts or you don't know what the hell you're talking about!

Wait, you just said you didn't own a PS3 and now your prattling on about Uncharted being a "masterpiece" (it was good, but not great)...
