Microsoft jumped full throttle into this the seventh generation of videogame consoles with the Xbox 360. Call of Duty 2 amongst other games were released at launch to help bolster the system's value. Being that the console was the only next-gen platform available on the market, many games that might have been multiplat were released as either timed exclusives, or exclusive to the Xbox 360. That was in 2005.
In 2006, there was no shortage of exclusive titles available either, especially when compared to the PS3 that was only then being launched. Not many games were made available for Sony's black behemoth, titles such as Resistance: Fall of Man is one of a few games that helped Sony weather what seemed like a never-ending storm of criticism. The Xbox 360 didn't have such a stellar lineup for 2006, but because Gears of War was released that year, gamers didn't complain that much, and then came 2007.
What was arguably the best year for the Xbox 360 thus far, saw big games releasing one after the other, and with Sony only then started coming around the bend, Microsoft dominated that year. Games included:
1) Halo 3 ~ The second fastest selling game on the Xbox 360 made a big splash in 2007.
2) Mass Effect ~ Bioware's Awesome RPG was on the market from November 20th, 2007.
3) Crackdown ~ It cracked store shelves on February 20th, 2007.
4) May 29th, 2007, gamers were experiencing their very own Gran Turismo on the Xbox 360, with the title Forza Motorsport 2. This may stir up some controversy, but it's true, Forza is no slack racing sim; and although Gran Turismo may be better in more ways, there's no doubt Forza is a definitive racing experience.
2008 also saw great games like Fable II, and Left for Dead amongst others.
Owning a Xbox 360 in 2009 sucked, plain and simple. Sure there was Halo Wars, and then Halo 3: ODST, and Forza 3, but that's it, seriously, Halo needs a break; PS3 owners on the other side of the fence enjoyed exclusives such as:
1) Killzone 2
2) Infamous
3) Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack In Time
4) LittleBigPlanet
5) Demon's Soul
6) Fat Princess ~ PSN
7) Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
Obviously the system to own this year is a PS3, so with that settled, let's look at 2010. Will Microsoft's Xbox 360 compete more readily against the mighty PS3 next year? Our answer is a resounding yes. Here's how the two consoles stack up head-to-head:
God of War III PS3 vs Splinter Cell: Conviction Xbox 360
MAG PS3 vs Mass Effect 2 Xbox 360
Gran Turismo 5 PS3 vs Halo Reach Xbox 360
Heavy Rain PS3 vs Alan Wake Xbox 360
Quantum Theory PS3 vs Left 4 Dead 2 Xbox 360
Agent PS3 vs Crackdown 2 Xbox 360
Resistance 3 PS3 vs Fable III Xbox 360
As you can see, in 2010, there will be no lack of exclusives for either platform, and it will be a stellar year indeed. The question remains, which lineup is the most attractive to you? You're on your own with this one.

Look out for the brand new website coming January 2010: www.gamesthirst.com. Tailor-made just for you.
Great article, really good article. I'll go with the PS3's lineup thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat about The Last Gardian? Yakuza 3? Final Fantasy XIV and ModNation Racers?
ReplyDeletemass effect will be on ps3 no doubt of that with ea as the publisher and owner.then ico with the last guardian,white knight,yakuza 3 thats not including all the motion games coming in spring.theres a lot to be announced yet
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteForgot Ninja Blade, and GTA Episodes this year.
ReplyDeleteAnd Magna Carta 2 is a pretty decent 360 exclusive.
I think you included all of 360 known exclusives for next year but you left out several from the PS3 to make Microsoft line up look similar when it's not
ReplyDeletethis are some you didn't include:
Mod Nation Racers, White Knight Chronicles, The Last Guarding, Yakuza 3, Final Fantasy 14, Final Fantasy versus 13, L.A Noire
you're tempering with the facts to make a biased point, that's what Fox News does
This "article" makes me weep
ReplyDeletethe ps3 lineup trumps yet again
ReplyDeletein addition to the ones already mentioned you also forgot Resonance of Fate for the PS3 and all the announced motion control games like Flower 2 and like 8 more that I don't remember the names
ReplyDelete2010 360 line up is vastly inferior to PS3's and it's not comparable
even worse you included Left 4 Dead 2 on 2010 line up and that game is out in two weeks from now
hahaha you are a PS3 fanboy! come on dude! Microsoft Xbox 360 is the best to offer a great service and great games! open your EYES! we will be in 2010 in nothing, the end on this generation is coming... your EYES!
ReplyDeleteYou mention Fat Princess...a PSN title, but not Shadow Complex? Fail
ReplyDeleteLol, some of the 360 2010 lineup are also PC lineup... so i'll go for PS3 and will download Mass E2, L4D2 and anything else on PC.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
wow the bots are getting desperate
ReplyDeleteWith 3 Halo games coming out so close together, thats a HUGE red flag that M$ is getting desperate. M$ is losing momentum so fast and are deceiving all with the natal hoax. No live demo of natal, just video footage of it "working." Even the guys from gametrailers.com said their behind curtains play of it didn't work as advertised.
ReplyDeleteall you ps3 faboys can suck the ballsack
ReplyDeleteThe 360 lineup looks just as bad for next year.
ReplyDeleteFor a start, Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction and GTA: Episodes Of Liberty City are TIMED exclusive, not full exclusive.
Games like Halo which only about 7 people buy can not be compared to the sales juggernaut that is Gran Turismo.
Trying to compare Alan Wake to Heavy Rain is like trying to compare an animated GIF created by a high - school student to a blockbuster Hollywood movie.
Also, Fable 3 has not been confirmed to come out next year.
Then there's the fact that you left off a "Few" PS3 exclusives:
White Knight Chronicles
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Final Fantasy IV
Yakuza 3
Eight Days
Some butthurt Sony girls in here.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot mulitple ps3 2010 exclusives... White Knight Chronicles, Modnation Racers, Yakuza, Possibly even The Last Gaurdian. 2009 was a way better year for exclusives for the ps3 (i have both systems) and im looking forward to way more 2010 ps3 exclusives to be honest, and now with netflix coming to ps3 there will be not much reason to turn on my 360 in the next 6 months...
ReplyDeleteNot to mention eye pet in north america as well......
ReplyDeleteDemon's souls doesn't get enough love. It is hands down the most addictive action rpg I have ever played. No matter how good you get something is there to kick your bleepin butt and then you must have revenge!!!
ReplyDeleteLet's face it...if it weren't for the multiplats, the 360 would be in dead last...in the war against the DS and PSP.
ReplyDeleteBUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!
LAST GAURDIAN MOD RACERS and two finalfantasey exclusives
ReplyDeletePREPARE FOR THE TAKE OVER
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned Fat Princess, yet no mention of Trials HD or Shadow Complex for the xbox. Nice job.
ReplyDeletenever mind Splosion Man...
ReplyDeleteFor all of you home-schooled PS3 fans that say something close to "Natal sucks dick they don't even show a live demo." How about you actually go to your rival console's website instead of using articles from random sources provided by N4G.com - on xbox.com, you can watch videos of people trying Natal out, as well as some famous people. Also, there is the video recording of the Natal demo on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Now you know...
ReplyDeleteand knowing is half the battle.
Should you really list Alan Wake for 2010? That game might not ever come out.
ReplyDelete@ immediately above: It's ok you promote your website, but you really have so nerve to talk down the website you're promoting your own website on.
ReplyDeleteBut we're bigger than that so we won't delete your post.
To everyone else: www.gamesthirst.com. A place for you, coming January 2010.
Sorry Brian, we're talking to the xbox guy above you. And about Alan Wake, they did say in an interview that the game can be released anytime.
ReplyDeleteThis article is not meant to compare the PS3 and Xbox 360 titles, but rather to point out that it won't matter what system you own, next year will be great for all gamers.
Let's continue discussing, and we encourage to go through the website, you'll find the content interesting.
Ernice Gilbert
All of the Xbox 360 fanboys are running around as a chicken without a head trying to convince PS3 owners that they have no games.
ReplyDeleteThe reality speaks for itself. You all are surviving on Multiplatform games and pretend that they are exclusive and that's why you are leading. That's a fact. Not a excuse.
Then you have the nerve to beg for PS3 exclusives like Metal Gear Solid 4 witch was rumored to go to the Xbox 360 for over 3 years before they finally gave up.
Now, there are articles all over the Internet about why Uncharted 2 should have been made for the Xbox 360 instead because apparently Gears Of War isn't enough for them.
Of course, it doesn't stop there. When Gran Turismo 5 is released, Xbox 360 fanboys are going to like... "Can we trade Forza 3?" How about that Ninja Blade? Sucked ass didn't it? Xbox 360 still has yet to receive a definitive hack and slash game because Ninja Gaiden is no longer exclusive to compete with God Of War 3 since Ninja Blade flopped big time.
Still not done yet. How about a Offroad racing game to compete with Motorstorm? Don't see one. Pure maybe? That's not exclusive though... Too bad. What about MLB 09 The Show? Oops. I don't see one for this either. Even the multiplatform 2k series couldn't compete with it.
Once Final Fantasy 13 is released exclusively on Playstation 3 in Japan, Xbox 360 is finished. The market share is either going to be 4 to 1 or 5 to 1. Maybe even higher and that's going to completely put off Japanese developers from making any more games for the Xbox 360 regardless of it's lead in western territories.
Follow that with Gran Turismo 5 (The biggest system seller) and God Of War 3 in the same month and it's over. Xbox 360 will be dead last in world wide sales.
great read, I like the PS3's lineup better however...
ReplyDeleteComing Soon exclusively to the PS3:
ReplyDelete3Dot Heroes, Agent, Ape Escape, Atelier Rorona, DC Universe Online, Dead Nation, Eight Days, Exodyssey, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Final Fantasy XIV, Free Realms, God of War Collection, God of War III, Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, Infamous 2, Killzone 3, Kurayami, Last Rebellion, MAG, ModNation Racers, Quantum Theory, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Resistance 3, Starhawk, Syphon Filter 5, The Agency, The Getaway 3, The Last Guardian, Trinity: Zill O'll Zero, Twisted Metal, Uncharted 3, White Knight Chronicles 2, White Knight Chronicles, Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4 etc.
XBox 360 is dead.
ReplyDeleteDon´t worry about, Always will have a good tech service. :P
Sony kids talking about surviving off multiplats, THE IRONY ROFLMAO.
ReplyDeleteWill it be wrong to include a game like ModNationRacers and instant classic The Last Gaurdian to the list of PS3 exclusives alongside a slate of EXCLUSIVE MMOs like Final Fantasy 14 Online, The Agency and hotly anticipated DC Universe Online?
ReplyDeleteThe PS3 has far better lineup of games in 2008, 2009 and from now on.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many exclusives coming for the PS3 that you have ignored yet there are so few exclusives for the 360 that you have had to include 2 games in your top 7 which are also on the PC (Alan Wake, Left 4 Dead 2).
Anon @ 6:57pm: No it would not be, however we were not comparing games.
ReplyDeleteAgain, the purpose of this article is to prove that whether you're PS3 or Xbox 360 owner, surely you'll have a lot of games to play come next year.
And yes, there are many other PS3 titles that could have been on the list, as well as Xbox 360 titles.
There's no doubt that the PS3 has a great array of games coming in the near future, this article does not try to negate that.
We are a site that caters to both PS3 and Xbox 360 owners, therefore we try to be balanced.
Sometimes we write articles that may not be the most popular, but no one else is writing them. We will not be afraid, gamers should have enough understanding to differentiate between full blown bias, and an article that makes sense.
Staff
It has been a down year for the 360, but luckily I own all three consoles so I almost always have something to play. TBH, the only 2009 exclusives on 360 that I've had any interest in are the two GTAIV DL episodes.
ReplyDeleteI agree the PS3 had a break out year but why list a PSN game and not any XBL games? Shadow Complex blows away any PSN game. GTA IV DLC should also have been included. Plus there was Ninja Blade and Race Pro. The PS3 had better full retail games but let's get the facts straight.
ReplyDeleteI have both ps3 and 360 and I love them equally. I'm not a console fan, I'm a console OWNER so here's what I think about these "exclusives":
ReplyDeletea) GoW3 vs. Conviction
- Conviction has a pc version thus, NOT EXCLUSIVE. I like both so I'll get both exclusive or not.
b) MAG vs. ME2
- Mass Effect 2 has a pc version thus, also NOT EXCLUSIVE but I'd choose Mass Effect 2 over MAG anyway.
c) GT5 vs. Halo Reach
- I hate racing game so I'd choose anything but a racing game even though I was never a Halo fan.
d) Heavy Rain vs. Alan Wake
- Alan Wake has a pc version so again, NOT EXCLUSIVE. I like both too anyway.
e) Quantum vs. L4D2
- L4D2 has a pc version so NOT EXCLUSIVE dammit! Personally, I'd choose Quantum because L4D2 can ONLY be fun if played with friends.
f) Agent vs. Crackdown 2
- I have no idea what these are but if I have to choose, I'd pick agent because it's by Rockstar.
g) Resistance 3 vs. Fable III
- I like both but I like Fable more.
Seriously...why the heck do people think those Xbox 360 exclusives...exclusive? Are the fanboys that desperate?
I'm sorry, are we including PSN games but not Live Arcade games?
ReplyDeleteWhy did you include Fat Princess - which sucked btw, ive got it - but you didnt include the stellar Shadow Complex, Trials HD, and 'Splosion Man?
then theres Left4Dead 2 coming out in a few weeks, along with the next GTAIV DLC and the standalone GTAIV DLC packs on a disc.
and then theres the fact that Forza 3 pretty much trumps every PS3 exclusive released this year in most reviewers opinions, beaten only possibly by Uncharted 2, which while good is just a prettier looking Uncharted 1.
ver poor PS3-fanboy article.
oh and Alan Wake (even though the developers say the PC version has been shelved) and Mass Effect 2 being on PC does NOTHING to change the fact that theyre on the 360 and not the PS3. they are 360 CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE, which is all that matters. if someone wants them on a video game console, they HAVE to buy them on the 360. PC or not, they cant get them on the PS3.
ReplyDeleteYea compared to the ps3 having exclusives that's current only exist for itself than a 360 "exclusives" that also exist for OTHER platform? Good job fantards. Like there are still people who does not have a pc that can at least support crysis on medium/high these days. Seriously...good job...
ReplyDeletehalo beats all people. why dont you learn, its just sad to see people try and say that ps3 has a better line up when i bet my life that no game on ps3 will ever sell as many copies in 24 hours like a halo game does. ps3=FAIL!
ReplyDeleteI own both consoles and the only game that ill buy for my PS3 next year is God Of War. Xbox 360 ill buy Splinter Cell, Mass Effect, Halo Reach, and all multi-platform games that interest me, gonna be sick.
ReplyDeletenot a bad article, especially since it isn't completely one sided for once, mod nation racers is gonna be pretty cool, I think that the thing that will even it out at all will be ffXIII going multiplat. if it would've remained ps3 exclusive I believe ps3 would have the edge, but who knows now, considering how western gaming interest has changed, like every game needs guns to sell, I miss the old ps1 jrpgs but the games now aren't bad. Halo is overrated as hell, its nice to see that it's kind of dying down. the huge fanbase for some of these mediocre games is kind of weird...
ReplyDeleteHalo only gets all the attention because it's the first xbox franchise that does not suck. Not to mention all the fantards wanking on master chief despite being just a soldier wearing an ugly green armor.
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 12:06 AM: Yeah, we miss them too.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad that you appreciate the article, a lot of the gamers on this thread don't know how to respond to it since there's no bias to a particular console.
But that's what we strive for, to give a balanced and level-headed analysis of both consoles and then present it to gamers.
We own the PS3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. We will keep on bringing the news unadulterated to you, the gamers.

+ XBOX 360 IS THE BEST!!!!
@David Macphail
ReplyDeleteLMAO! 7 people buy a halo game?! apparently you didn't read about ODST which outsold killzone 2 in a day. if sony could advertise their games like microsoft does, killzone 2 would have sold WAY more titles.
@the article
i do agree tho, i feel this year was weak for the 360, but next year will definitely pick up. all in all though, 2010 will be a good year for both systems; i think itll be close. i dont care which system does better as long as im happy with the games being released for my system, exclusive or not. BEST OF LUCK TO EACH SYSTEM! the Wii doesnt need anymore luck ;)
people are dumb. just because a game is on the pc and 360 doesn't mean that the game is NOT AN EXCLUSIVE! when people talk about exclusivity they are referring to if it is being released on another console such as the ps3 or wii! so l4d2 (for example) is an exclusive to the 360 because its not being released on the ps3! the pc is not a console! you never hear them trying to sell computers when they talk about exclusives. its about trying to sell their consoles. DER DUH DER
ReplyDelete@GamesThirst,
ReplyDeleteIm a gamer, i own both a PS3 and a 360, have since launch - but this article DEFINITELY has bias towards one console, that being the PS3.
Any year in which Halo 3: ODST, Forza 3, Left 4 Dead 2, Shadow Complex, Trials HD, and GTAIV DLC all come out EXCLUSIVE to the 360, cannot be considered bad.
yes the PS3 had more 'big name' exclusives come out, but they all basically fell on their faces apart from Uncharted 2.
1) Killzone 2 - only JUST made the worldwide 2 million sales mark. graphically impressive while also disapointing, but thats about it. gameplay was unoriginal, uninspired, and the controls sucked big time.
2) Infamous - got boring very quickly, underwhelming graphics and very repetitive.
3) Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack In Time - dont care for it, its a kids game.
4) LittleBigPlanet - was a sales flop, and while it certainly shines from a technical standpoint, gameplay wise it was underwhelming. unless you put dozens of hours into making levels, you got over this game within a few weeks. horrible online play too.
5) Demon's Soul - does anyone even care?
6) Fat Princess ~ PSN - online sucked, failed to live up to expectations.
7) Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - critical and sales success.
its funny because Halo 3: ODST alone sold more than 3/4 of that list COMBINED. Forza 3 will, if it hasnt already, as well. quality over quantity is the way to go.
X360 is dead in 2010 too
ReplyDeletemass effect 2--on PC and will flop as it is mass effect 1.1
alan wake --HAAAA another mega flop more like alan in the dark
sc conviction --on PC and lame garbage game
halo reach --HAHAHA another flop like ODST and HALO WARS
Crackdown 2--meh
Gears 3 --meh same garbage unreal engine 1.1
fable 3--also not an AAA
PS3 in 2010
GT5 --biggest game on consoles and on anything in 2010
GT5 will outsell all suck box 360 games
GOW3 --AAA and bigger than anything on suck box 360
FF14 --bigger than all suck box 360 RPGS combined
FF13 versus --bigger than all suck box 360 mega flopped rpgs like flop odyssey, crap dragon combined
TRICO --AAA
Heavy rain ---AAA
MAG -256 player awesomeness only on PS3
R3--again an awesome game
only game worth playingon x360 is RROD
ALSO IN 2009 PS3 HAD 3 aaa --uc2, kz2 , mlb
SUCK BOX HAD 1 --FLOPZA3 WHICH BOMBED IN SALES . L4D 2 WILL BE A FLOP SINCE IT IS MORE LIKE L4D 1.1--AN EXPANSION
ALSO GOW COLLECTION IS ON PS3 THIS YEAR TOO
UC2 HAS A 96% AT META . NO SUCK BOX 360 GAME WILL EVER ACHIEVE THAT
demon souls --89% at meta
ReplyDeletebest RPG of 2009
RPG lineup on crap box 360 ---junk games like flop odyssey and failable 1.1 and also PC ports like mass effect
best RPG of 2009 isnt saying much, its like saying flower was the best 'grass simulator' in 2009 - it was because there was nothing else.
ReplyDeleteRPGs mean so very little anyway, theyre a niche these days. the only place that cares is japan, and japan means next to nothing in the console wars.
Gee, leave out Braid and Castle Crashers for 360. I really don't care about exclusives, I'm happy when a good game comes out on any system. It doesn's mean I'm going to go buy another console just to play them though. I don't have money to burn.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the Xbox 360 line up next year...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for:
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Mass Effect 2
But both seem it have a good line-up, just the Xbox 360 lineup is more my style.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteTHERE ARE NO MORE EXCLUSIVES FOR THE 360 THAN THE ONES ON THE LIST, THERE'RE LOTS MORE FOR THE PS3 THOUGH
ReplyDeleteWill your xBox 360 still be fully functional in 2010? According to statistics about 10 million of them will be out of warranty which means that about 4 million that need to be replaced won't be replaced unless the owner buys another one. I think MS needs a far better line-up to attract people to make the same mistake twice, especially now that we know that 2 of their biggest guns, Mass Effect and Splinter Cell, will see a PS3 release sooner or later. 299 is all you need these days.
ReplyDeleteLittle Big Planet? LOL^^ That was released in 2008
ReplyDeleteif there's no bias on the article why did you include a 2009 game (left 4 dead 2) on the 2010 360 "exclusives" list and at the same time you left out from the PS3 list games like The Last Guardian, Mod Nation Racers or white knight chronicles?
ReplyDeleteeven if you don't mean to be biased you still are, because to be able to compare game-to-game from both consoles you had to pad the 360 list with a 2009 game and left out several for the PS3
the 360 2010 line up is NOT comparable to PS3 in quality or in quantity (and I have both consoles)
and there're no other 360 exclusives that you could've put on the list that have any chance of being release next year
you now it's true
HELLO!
ReplyDeleteGRAN TURISMO 5!Where the hell is GT5?!
I advice people that before posting to look up "exclusive" on the dictionary
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 2:46 AM: That's what this article is about, pointing out the strengths of both systems and listing some of the outstanding games available for them.
ReplyDeleteWe will continue to bring you our readership great content. Go ahead, search through the site.
www.gamesthirst.com coming January 2010.
Anon @ 4:22 AM: Dude, did you even read the article? Cause if you did, surely you would have seen GT5 on there.
ReplyDeletePS3 THE FLOP BOX OF THE NEW GENERATION. THE PS3 JUST STARTED SELLING AND IT WAS BECAUSE THEY WHERE FORCED TO CUT PRICE BEFORE THEY WHERE EVEN SEEING A PROFIT COME BACK.
ReplyDeletePS3 IS LOSING LOADS OF MONEY WHILE XBOX MAKES LOADS OF MONEY. YEA PS3 IS SELLING ALOT BUT HOW MUCH ARE THEY LOSING. IN THE BILLIONS BOYS..
M$ IS JUST PUTTING OUT WINDOWS 7, WHICH IS BEING PREORDERED AT RECORD NUMBERS.
ALL PS3 EXCLUSIVES DID POORLY IN SALES AND I LIKE TO SEE WHAT GAME CAN ACTUALLY SELL ON IT.
1/4 PS3 OWNERS ONLY USE THE PS3 FOR BLUERAY FACT. SOFTWARE SALES WILL SHOW.
ALAN WAKE WILL STOMP ON HEAVY RAIN..
HALO REACH WILL BE THE FASTING SELLING GAME IN HISTORY. LOOK AT ODST, WHICH WAS THOUGHT AS A ADD ON AND IT STILL SOLD MORE THEN KILLZONE 2
AND UNCHARTED COMBINED IN FIRST WEEK SALES.
SO WHATS UP PS3 FANS ALL THAT TRASH TALK AND YOU CAN'T EVEN SUPPORT YOUR GAMES.
XBOX OWNER SEEM TO BUY AND NOT TALK GARBAGE 24/7. MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET OFF THE BLOG AND GO BUY THE F'ING GAME.
PS3 THE MOST UN LOYAL, LOYAL FOLLOWING OUT THERE. ALL THE TALK BUT DON'T WALK THE WALK.
BLUE RAY A NOT NEEDED STORAGE MEDIUM TRYING TO STOP THE FUTURE OF DOWNLOADS, WILL BE GONE IN 4 YEARS TOPS.
NATAL WILL PUT YOU ALL BACK INTO YOUR SPOTS, DELUSIONAL AS ALWAYS AND BACK IN FANTASY LAND.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
DROIDS
YOU FAIL... LETS SEE HOW LONG THE PRICE CUT REALLY LASTS IN THE SALES OF UNITS. XBOX IS HOLDING WAY MORE CARDS THEN SONY. ONE BEING ABLE TO DROP PRICE WHEN EVER THEY WANT, TWO IS NATAL, 3RD YOU DO NOT HAVE HALO.....
HALO SELLS LIKE YOU WISH YOUR GAMES DID, DREAM ON PS3 DROIDS
Hello natal, and as always multi plats are to be bought on xbox.
ReplyDeletealways more people to play online with.
plus they always look better.
GT5, God of War III and Heavy Rain
ReplyDeleteall in first half 2010
nothing compared to that for the 360 on the horizon
who cares about sales other than stock holders? gaming quality and quantity is all that matters and on that regard PS3 has no equal
ReplyDeleteDude with all the caps, get it together, PS3 rules.
ReplyDeleteBe honest, that list looks better on the PS3's side. Be honest with yourselves.
'
ReplyDeleteTHE FUTURE IS M$, THEY WILL HAVE ALOT MORE IN STORE FOR 2010..
PS3 ALWAYS PUTS ALL THERE CARDS ON THE TABLE, NOT XBOX. WE WILL SEE PERFECT DARK, CONKER, THERE IS ALOT MORE IN THERE GUN RACK.
PS3 BLOW MY B----
360 owners are really getting desperate quoting sales without realizing that those numbers are US only, on Europe and Japan 360 has almost no presence
ReplyDeleteHALO LOOKS BETTER THEN ALL THOSE PUT TOGETHER.
ReplyDeleteONLINE FOR HALO AND GEARS IS UNMATCHED ON THE XBOX, PS3 HAS NO ONLINE GAMES BUT CALL OF DUTY WHICH IS BETTER TO BUY ON XBOX.
MORE PEOPLE OWN THE GAME. BETTER ONLINE EXPERIENCE.
PUT ALL THOSE GAMES TOGETHER AND ADD UP THERE FIRST WEEK SALES, YOU WON'T SEE THE SALES THAT HALO REACH WILL SEE IN THE FIRST WEEK..
troll alert... he's in the room....lol
ReplyDeletePS3 FAN= UN LOYAL FANS THAT SAY THEY SUPPORT BUT SOMETIMES BUY THE GAMES.
ReplyDeletehey guys did you know that PS3 sold more consoles than 360?
ReplyDeletePs3 just completed its third year on the market and has sold consoles sold than 360 on its first 3 years on the market
and the price cut only amounts to a very small porcentage of ratio, so it terms of money PS3 generate a lot more than 360 because it has always been more expensive
JUST ACTING LIKE A PS3 FAN.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS WHAT 90% OF DROIDS DO.
I LEAVE ON THIS NOTE...
NATAL WILL RUIN THE PS3, IT WILL HAVE NO CHANCE AFTER IT'S RELEASE.
PS3 WILL BE PS3RD..
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAPPY HOLLOWEEN.......
TO ALL YOU GAMING JUNKIES. KEEP UP THE COMPETITION AND DRIVE DOWN MY COSTS.
funny you say ps3 is not losing alot of money.
ReplyDeleteyou are totally an idiot. you don't know a thing you are talking about.

resistance 3 vs fable...are they even in the same category ( halo reach and GT5 arent either)
Resistance 3 PS3 vs Fable III Xbox 360
ReplyDelete????
whats next another shooter vs rpg .. ohh thats there two
MAG PS3 vs Mass Effect 2 Xbox 360
what sort of muppet wrote this??
@above
ReplyDeleteI don't think he meant in terms of same category but more of games that will release around the same time, and what they will offer to the consumer of that console..
and that being said, I own both but I mostly play on my PS3 - Mostly because I think it's stupid to pay for Xbox Live when it should be free (so after my Live was up I was done with the system)
There just is no reason to pay for online - PC does not and PS3 does not, so I'm sure greedy Microsoft could have made it free but they decided it would be better to take gamers money.
But that being said, I have really enjoyed my PS3, Uncharted 2 has brought home some of the best gaming I have had in years.. (multi-player is just too much fun)
So in 2010 beware of the PS3's power - they got some really amazing games coming out -
GT5, God Of War 3, R3, Heavy Rain, The Last Guardian
Now those are exclusive, but what about the ones Microsoft can't keep to them self's -because for every game you can't keep for you self is another reason why I'm not coming back to paying for online.
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Modern Warefare 2, Mafia 2, Red dead Redmetion, Crysis 2, Assains Creed II , Bioshock 2-
(I'm going to need to put more money in my cookie jar for all these games.. LoL)
PS3... ftw in 2010 (but both systems will have some great games, the real winners) -GAMERS
Anon@ 9:04 AM:
ReplyDeleteYou're right, the real winners are gamers.
L4D2 is a 2009 360 exclusive.
ReplyDeletewho gives a **** if the xbox 360 makes a good game buy and play the 360 game... if ps3 makes a good title play the ps3 game wtf cares if xbox is better or ps is better.... I have both systems... so if a good game comes out on either system I get it... no point in being bias... we are all gamers so just respect when a system releases a good game.
ReplyDeleteGod of war III vs Splinter cell conviction ?
ReplyDeleteTHERE'S NO COMPETITION here. God of war III is going to be "the" next gen title to own.
Agent PS3 vs Crackdown 2 Xbox 360...is this a fucking joke ? A rockstar exclusive no less ? And announced as one of their best title to date ?...NO COMPETITION.
Also , you forgot THE LAST GUARDIAN !!!!

Why are people complaining about this list? I think is an awesome list for both the PS3 and Xbox 360.
ReplyDeleteCan't we all just get along? I wonder sometimes if Sony and MS is paying some of you guys big bucks. Gees....
Sad Sony Fanboys
ReplyDeletelol.. xbot virgins throw bitch fits
ReplyDelete"Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack In Time - dont care for it, its a kids game."
ReplyDeleteYou haven't played any Ratchet game if you think it's a kids game and therefore I pity you.
"LittleBigPlanet - was a sales flop"
lol. It has sold 2.50 million already and more than games like Mass Effect 2, Bioshock, Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising, Resident Evil 5 etc has on Xbox 360.
"Demon's Soul - does anyone even care?"
Yes, you can bet on it.
^ meant Mass Effect
ReplyDelete"and then theres the fact that Forza 3... is beaten... by Uncharted 2, which while good is just a prettier looking Uncharted 1."
ReplyDeleteBy your logic Forza 3 is just a prettier looking Forza 2, if even that.
I own both consoles and the only game that ill buy for my XO next year is Fable 3. PS3 ill buy God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3, Yakuza 3, MAG, Gran Turismo 5, The Last Guardian, Killzone 3, White Knight Chronicles and so on, and all multi-platform games (so that XO doesn't RROD) that interest me, gonna be sick :)
ReplyDelete"its funny because Halo 3: ODST alone sold more than 3/4 of that list COMBINED."
ReplyDeleteCombined? Not a chance. Halo 3 oDST 2.9m - KZ2 2.0m, Infamous 0.95m, LittleBigPlanet 2.5m, Uncharted 2 0.8m
"Forza 3 will, if it hasnt already, as well."
ROFL
"quality over quantity is the way to go."
PlayStation has always had both quality and quantity.
i mean lets face it, this year the ps3 had a better line up of exclusives, i don't think people can disagree with that. however looking at next year, they seem to be on a pretty level pegging as far as i can tell, i mean you have ps3 exclusives like god of war 3 and gran turismo 5, but then you have games like halo reach and fable 3, and then there are the great multiplatform games coming out like bioshock 2. i mean i don't think that there is a clear winner next year, there is obviously going to be bias towards one console for most people, and most people don't enjoy all genres of games so will enjoy one consoles exclusives more than the others, but i think that anybody who isn't biased can see that 360 and ps3 will both be as good as eachother next year.
ReplyDeletein my opinion, the place were the differences in games come in is in the past few years, although ps3 has picked things up in terms of exclusives, it is still very clear to see that the 360 has a much larger range of great exclusives than the ps3, and if i didn't already have all the consoles, i would rather go and buy a 360 over a ps3 right now. first of all because of the greater number of good exclusives on the 360, and second of all because the 360 has clearly better online, and although you have to pay for it, less than 3 pounds a month hardly impacts on my funds.
also anybody who is actually saying that agent will beat crackdown 2 because it is a rockstar game, obviously hasn't done thier homework. crackdown 1 + 2 are both made by the core team who actually invented grand theft auto, so for any rockstar fanboys out there who reckon agent will be better soley because it is rockstar, well your essentially saying that a game made by current rockstar is going to be better than a game made by the old team from rockstar, and i think everybody knows that rockstar games aren't as good as they used to be.
ReplyDelete"they are 360 CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE, which is all that matters. if someone wants them on a video game console, they HAVE to buy them on the 360. PC or not, they cant get them on the PS3."
ReplyDeleteNope. They might be console exclusives, but they aren't true exclusives because you don't have to buy an Xbox 360 to play them. I can play ME2, Alan Wake, Left4Dead, Splinter Cell with my PC. Games like God of War 3 and Gran Turismo 5 are true exclusives, because you can't play them with any other platform than PS3.
"best RPG of 2009 isnt saying much, its like saying flower was the best 'grass simulator' in 2009" it was because there was nothing else."
ReplyDeleteNothing else? 2009 RPG's - Fallout 3 DLC, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, MagnaCarta 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Cross Edge, Trinity Universe, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment, Risen

'There are over 40 Microsoft exclusive (Xbox 360) titles yet to come in 2009 and 2010 (not including Xbla downloads).'
@anonymous 12:20am - "lol. It has sold 2.50 million already and more than games like Mass Effect 2, Bioshock, Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising, Resident Evil 5 etc has on Xbox 360."
ReplyDeletelol
Bioshock - as of June 2008, over 2.2 million copies had been sold on 360.
Resident Evil 5 - as of June 2009, over 5 million copies had been sold on 360 and PS3, and going by the figures released in the months after launch, the 360 accounts for more than half of those by a substantial figure.
left4dead - in september 2009, valve announced that almost 3 million copies had been sold, including nearly 700 000 in the US alone in its opening MONTH.
by contrast, as of december 2008, there had only been 1.3 million people play little big planet online, and in the USA - where probably 75% of a games sales are generally made - it had only sold 600 000 copies. 2.5 million? not a chance.
it was comprehensively outsold by those other games.
and the guy who just listed all those 'ps3 exclusives' coming out - half of them are either unannounced or dont even have a name! lol
ReplyDeleteooh im really looking forward to 'Sony London casual project (other than EyePet)' and 'LightBox Interactive Studio project' hahahahahahahah
"Resident Evil 5 - as of June 2009, over 5 million copies had been sold on 360 and PS3, and going by the figures released in the months after launch, the 360 accounts for more than half of those by a substantial figure."
ReplyDeleteCorrection: As of June 2009 Resident Evil 5 had shipped 5 million copies (to retailers) worldwide not sold (to end-customers = gamers).
Also more sales came from PS3 version, because of Japan and Europe.
Resident Evil 5 PS3 2.49m

Resident Evil 5 360 2.35m

"left4dead - in september 2009, valve announced that almost 3 million copies had been sold, including nearly 700 000 in the US alone in its opening MONTH."
ReplyDeletePart of those sales came from PC version. It's a multiplatform game PC + Xbox 360. 3 million for two platforms in about year, not so big deal.
"by contrast, as of december 2008, there had only been 1.3 million people play little big planet online, and in the USA - where probably 75% of a games sales are generally made - it had only sold 600 000 copies. 2.5 million? not a chance."
Wrong again. LittleBigPlanet sold more in Europe (1.32m) than in US (1.00m). It already had two million online players as of april 2009. Together, these 2 million players had created 725,000 online levels, generated about 4 million comments, and played the game over 125 million times. By now it has sold 2.48 million copies worlwide and sells still about 20k copies per week.

Mass Effect X360 2.08 million

BioShock X360 2.34 million
Dead Rising X360 1.71 million
Halo Wars X360 1.52 million
lol at you thinking vgchartz is even remotely credible. vgcharts, by their own admission, are GUESSES at sales figures.
ReplyDeletelittle big planet - SONY themselves said that as of the end of 2008, only 1.3 million people had played LBP online, and that it had only sold 600k in the US. as of the end of january 2009, it had STILL only sold a little over 600k.
http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/56872
it has NOT sold 2.5 million copies worldwide.
Left 4 Dead - the 700 000 in one month was for the 360 ONLY in the US. thats more than little big planet has sold in the US all together. and if you want to go by vgchartz, they list L4D as selling 2.45 million on the 360 alone.
Resident Evil 5 - you say its a SHIPPED figure, the media releases and quotes from the people who made the game say different.
http://kotaku.com/5268672/resident-evil-5-sales-figures-get
capcoms CFO specifically says SOLD, but hey, i assume you know more than him, right? idiot.
give it up, youre getting EXTREMELY desperate by quoting vgchartz lol
"little big planet - SONY themselves said that as of the end of 2008, only 1.3 million people had played LBP online..."
ReplyDeleteYes, at the end of 2008 and the game was released worldwide around november 2008. As of april 1, 2009 the game had already sold more than 2 million and according to SCEE there were about 2 million online LBP players at that time. 2.5 million is certain by now.
http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=23021
"capcoms CFO specifically says SOLD"
Sold to retailers = shipped. Capcom doesn't know how many copies gamers have bought trough thousands and thousands worldwide videogame retailers. And still doesn't change the fact that PS3 version of RE5 has sold more worldwide and Xbox 360 version less than LittleBigPlanet on PS3.

ReplyDeleteShow us a better source for worldwide videogame sales than Vgchartz. You can't.
xbots are getting pretty desperate indeed
ReplyDeletethe ONLY even semi-credible sales figures for games are things like the NPD charts, and thats only for the US. each country has their own.
ReplyDeleteVGChartz is not and never will be credible. just because there is nothing MORE credible doesnt mean that it IS credible lol.
