In the past, each console has had a number of exclusive games. But in the current console war, it seems that the only console with significant, multiple, exclusives is the Wii. I believe that the reason for this is because the PS3 in a relatively unproven console, so companies are reluctant to make exclusives.

Your opinions??

Far from it. The PlayStation 3 will have the highest-quality exclusives of the seventh-generation era. First of all, it's got the most trusted developers working on exclusives for it. Square Enix will again be making the canonical Final Fantasy exclusively on the PlayStation system. Konami, which has long been loyal to SCEI regarding its greatest hits, will be developing Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the last iteration of Metal Gear, for the PlayStation 3. Not to mention SCEI has its own developers working on first-party games like Gran Turismo 5, and next generations of Killzone, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs, and Wipeout.

Sure, the Xbox 360 has Halo 3 and the Dead or Alive series, but this is nothing compared to what the PlayStation 3 has. The PlayStation brand has proven throughout the past decade that it will always have a software lineup of the finest quality. It has a fine reputation, and the good developers will always follow SCEI because they know who to support.

In terms of the Wii, sure, it's got the most first-party exclusives, but these are low quality gimmicks. I mean, looking at stuff like Smooth Moves and Twilight Princess, these will be nice from ten minutes to maybe a week, but even that's doubtful. I mean, here I am with Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, which is six years old, and it's STILL better than say Wii Play.

The games up there are exclusive for PS3, right now. But just look at the GTA series, GTA 4 is coming out on Xbox exclusiveley. If this is succesfull, this might tempt other companies such as Konami or Square Enix into adding their games to other systems. Such as it the case of GTA4 and Mercenaries 2.


More examples of past "loyalty to SCEI" are the transfer of MGS:Sons of Liberty into a bestseller Xbox game MGS: Substance. Then there is also The Ace Combat series that has been Sony exclusive throughout its career, exept that AC6 is coming out on Xbox. Armored Core-Final Fantasy 11, these were both Sony exclusives until recently. Only time will tell how the Sony loyal companies will play their hands.

The PS3's liscensing cost is way too expensive to hold on to many of it's 3rd party exclusives.  Companies just can't afford it.

Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Cry On, Brother in Arms, and Lost Colony on top of Halo 3 and DoA.  More than enough to murder the upcoming game line.

You compared a serious shooter to a party game.

"too expensive to hold on to 3rd party exclusives". That completely goes against the facts. The best third-party exclusives are all on the PlayStation 3. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Final Fantasy XIII. The best companies are doing it (i.e. Konami and Square Enix).

Blue Dragon is so cheesy. Also, Brothers in Arms is not an exclusive.

Halo 3 and Dead or Alive alone are not enough to compete with the PlayStation 3's lineup. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty sold more than 7 million units, and any serious role-playing game gamer knows that Final Fantasy is top-of-the-line. Gran Turismo is also the unprecedented leader of driving simulators, with more cumulative sales than any other game series in its genre.

ps3 hasn't got much good for exclusives so far. let's see, launched with four, 1 was good, so yeah. upcoming stuff? still in the works. most of these guys will probably wind up making a version for the 360 too. wouldn't be a surprise, as that's where the money is and plenty of companies have already done that. and your "loyal" companies aren't quite so. let's see, we'll start with konami. Snake's in smash bros brawl, if you're still behind on that. Kojima struck a deal with nintendo for it. Begged for it. and not like "please", more like "OH GOD PLEASE!!!". This deal they made will most likely end up with mgs games on the wii or ds. I'll do square next. Notice all the final fantasy remakes on the ds that are selling like crazy yet? And why didn't they make them on the psp if they're so "loyal"? very interesting... and there's still the fact that a final fantasy game is in fact coming out on the wii. And killzone? don't make me laugh. That abysmal "halo-killer" will still suck even if it's pretty.

And how dare you call twilight princess lame. everybody loves it. if it weren't made by nintendo you'd love it too, but you turn a blind eye toward that brand. you're missing out on something truly amazing dude. And, for the most part, most wii exclusives have not been so great so far i agree. but plenty is still to come, like mario metroid and brawl, and nothing you say can make those come out bad.

That's impossible. All the Metal Gear Solid games have been released exclusively on the PlayStation systems (Metal Gear Solid on PlayStation, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty & Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater on PlayStation 2, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops on PlayStation Portable, & Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on PlayStation 3). The only Metal Gear Solid game ever on a Nintendo system was Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, critically bashed by purists.

I'll tell you what is worth noticing, that all the CANONICAL Final Fantasy games have been released in the PlayStation family (Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, & Final Fantasy IX on PlayStation, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2, & Final Fantasy XII on PlayStation 2, & Final Fantasy XIII on PlayStation 3). The only Final Fantasy game announced for the Wii is a Crystal Chronicles game, a cheap second-rate game for gays. And if you'd been following the news, you'd see that even though Square Enix had previously been developing Final Fantasy games for the DS, most of the future portable releases are on the PlayStation Portable. But I don't expect people living under a rock to know that. But people shouldn't be living under rocks in the first place, so I don't forgive you for being completely ignorant.

Regarding Killzone, the PlayStation 3 version is not a mere remake of Killzone for the PlayStation 2. Killzone for the PlayStation 3 was completely redesigned from the ground up. The graphics in it are even better than what the Wii could ever hope to muster even in five years' time.

I don't give a shit who makes the Legend of Zelda series, the games are shit because they ARE. I don't give a shit that I'm missing out on it. I'm just saving my time so I'll have more to play my Metal Gear games, which are so much better. The Metal Gear games have essentially defined their genre. It's a revolution.

heh. we'll see. it wouldn't be the first time you ate your words.

i feel bad for you.

I've never had to eat my words, and I will never have to. I'm the one who's always right, and you fail to acknowledge it. When I said the second-generation Xbox would be called the Xbox 360, nobody here believed me, but guess what it's called, THE XBOX 360! You people are so goddamned stupid. You just can't accept the fact that I'm better informed than you are, because you're too goddamned arrogant.

The only reason you should feel sorry for me is that I have deal with imbeciles like you every fucking day.

what about all that crap about "the psp will outsell the ds" or "nobody will buy the wii." or even "the ps3's release will do better than the wii's" and my personal favorite "i'm not gay".

I never said that the PlayStation Portable will outsell the DS. The thing about the Wii was a hyperbole, obviously, there are gay people, but in the end, the PlayStation 3 will outsell the Wii. The PlayStation 3's release WAS better than the Wii's. And I'm STILL not gay, and I never WILL be.

ps3 release better? people were getting shot, mugged, trampled, and blackmailed. then the release actually began...

sony couldn't fill out order's they were unprepared. it was a nightmare. and after new year's nobody even cared anymore.

Thank you for proving my point.

Don't forget that woman who drank herself to death for a Wii.

ha ha that was funny. i didn't know anyone could do that. god she must have been desperate...

That's not funny in the least. This person died. This is a person who had a life, she had a family, she had people who loved her. You may find it funny because you don't understand the true meaning of love, but that's just the way it is. You are truly one of the most formidable adversaries I have ever faced, because you are something less than human. You lack the basic fundamental emotions that should be in every human being. You have that uncanny inability sympathize with other people. I honestly hope that the world does not have to know such evil in the future.

Wait 'till the ports come out.

Blue Dragon was created by the man who created the Final Fantasy series himself.

Halo 2 surpassed 7 million sales in late 2005 and the franchise has sold over 15 million.

Predicting the future, are we now? xP

I haven't heard anyone mention Gears of War...what about them? I'm not sure about the number of sales, but I remember that it was more than 1 million in the first month, and that it now surpasses Halo 2 in most users online at a time on XBL.

I hit the wrong key.

Halo 2 sold over two million in twenty-four hours.  Gears of War is nice, but it's campaign leaves much to be desired.

Nobody gives a shit about ports. Have you seen the sales figures for Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes? You can't even hope to compete with the sales figures for the original Metal Gear Solid with that. The ports don't matter, because the big numbers are in the originals.

Big deal. Nobody knows about the Metal Gear series, but they've sold even more units than the Halo franchise. Plus, the Xbox 360 is basically riding on the promise of Halo 3. The PlayStaiton 3 is backed by Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Final Fantasy XIII, and Gran Turismo 5. The system has the best exclusives for more genres than anyone else. All the Xbox 360 has are killing games and the Wii only has baby games. The PlayStation 3 has games for anyone from kids to old people.

So if a woman getting waterintoxication for a Wii is a travesty, what makes people getting mugged and shot for a PS3 a success.

Also, it has been announced that to make up for overspending on MGS4, that Konami is considering releasing it a few month later on the Xbox 360

ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT!!11 This rumour was disproven MONTHS ago, you motherfucking idiot! Don't try to pull that shit on me. You think I'm some sort of motherfucking idiot?! I am more informed than you. I have sources that you can't even hope to access. I know all about this bullshit about Konami supposedly pressuring Kojima to release Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on the Xbox 360. But this turned out to be pure bullshit months ago. Metal Gear Solid 4 is EXCLUSIVELY on the PlayStation 3. Ever since Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, there has never been a release of a Metal Gear game on any other system than a PlayStation system.

Right, like Viva Pinata

You couldn't recognize a hyperbole if it fucking raped you in the ass. And Viva Piñata actually does have killing. There is a predator/prey relationship, and I have a friend who has Viva Piñata, and he reports killing in the game.

Lol, that's like saying Super Mario Bros. is a mass murder game.

Except that Super Mario Bros. is old. Sure, it was fun when it came out, but what you don't fucking understand is that people want something original. Viva Piñata is completely original. Never before has there been a blockbuster game with piñatas in it.

myscrnnm, you need to learn to stop playa' hatin'.

That had little to do with what I was saying.

The 360 will be the only system to have Mass Effect. This will probalby be what rivals Final Fantasy XIII for the title of RPG of the year. Since Mass Effect will have a dozen or more races, 25+ hours of gameplay, three class that can be customized to fit the players personality exactly. Not to mention all of the free space interaction and customization of the Player starship.

While FFXIII will exceed Mass Effect in gametime, I think Mass Effect will be like the critically acclaimed
Star Wars:KOTOR games only on Steroids

Nobody gives a shit about Mass Effect. Final Fantasy XIII will exceed Mass Effect in every aspect. We've seen that Square Enix has only improved with each successive Final Fantasy game in the past few years. In fact, Final Fantasy XIII has already been critically acclaimed BEFORE it's even been released. All that shit that you see in the trailers, that isn't traditional FMV shit like they've used in previous iterations of Final Fantasy. That shit is rendered in realtime with the White Engine, with the Cell Broadband Engine processor, which is the only microprocessor capable of doing it, due to the sheer processing power it possesses.

I don't know if this keeps up with your "sources", but you should read this article\

http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/22/ff...-ps3-after-all/

And, again, this is just something I stumbled upon. I have no intention of offending you.

What you, and the people over at Xbox 360 Fanboy, don't understand is that it is a PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY for Final Fantasy XIII to be on any system other than the PlayStation 3. Final Fantasy XIII was tailored for use exclusively with the PlayStation 3 due to it being the only system on the market that can handle the intensive processes of the White Engine. Sure, maybe after two or three years we'll be seeing Final Fantasy XIII on the Xbox 360, but at this time, it's still a PlayStation 3 exclusive, and that's what matters.

You are wrong about the White Engine, it is a independent engine, thus it can easily be translated to any platform. If you don't beleive me, read this. But at this time, it is still a PS3 exclusive.

http://videogames.netscape.com/story/2007/...ne-is-portable/

Final Fantasy XIII is the only game that uses the White Engine.

I know, but if the engine can be translated easily, this would reduce the time it would take them to make a version of FFXIII for the Xbox 360 from almost 2 years to around 6 months.

No matter what, the PlayStation 3 version will always look better than the Xbox 360 version, and play better, assuming there even IS an Xbox 360 version. It's a definitive FACT that the Cell Broadband Engine processor is more powerful than the Xbox 360's Xenon processor.

That is one place that I can't argue. But I would not completley rule out a multiplatform release, since Xbox has recently gotten Mercenaries 2, Devil May Cry 4, and Grand Theft Auto 4

The only one really worth having is Grand Theft Auto. But we've also seen that even though other systems had Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the PlayStation 2 still won, because its version of San Andreas was the most versatile.

The reason for that being, as you stated earlier, is because ports that come a significant period of time after the original have never sold as well.

But I would still like to see Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the patriots and FFXIII on the 360. Since I have followed both those series since the era of PS1.

I think anyone that reads this, and has seen 300 should watch this I was laughing the whole time!

http://uploads.ungrounded.net/content.php?...w=450&h=300

I have the greatest idea ever. A game that stars coconuts as the main character. And you're fighting the orange monkeys with flashlights. It will be called coco caca. It is totally original and awesome. It revolves around the character, Johnny McCoco, the cocaine smoking coconut that looks like it's straight out of a 70's western. He's holstering his flashlight, and he's an unsung hero of the Cold War. Basically, we go behind the scenes of the Cold War, to the real fighting, between the orange monkeys and the coconuts, that truly determined the Cold War. Anyways, Orange monkeys and coconuts have never made it to a blockbuster game, and the combination is something never seen before. Because of it's originality people will all buy it and I'll be rich.

HOLY FUCK, PINATAS!
My life is now complete.

Bah, inbreeding/killing Piñatas = should be fun...should...

Then that means you aren't really loyal to Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy. Since all the canonical titles have been in the PlayStation family, and you aren't going with the PlayStation 3, you are being a pussy.

Loyalty to series ≠ Loyalty to console.

I never said it was. In fact, you just proved my point, you fucking sack of shit.

Your other post:


He is saying that he wants to follow the Final Fantasy series but they continue on to the Playstation 3. He would rather play them on the 360.
You say that he is not being loyal to the series because he isn't loyal to the console. There are still a few ways to stay loyal to the series without being loyal to the console (Emulators, which deny Square Enix money). And somehow, hoping for a 360 release of MGS and FFXIII has transformed him into a vagina.

He is saying that if Final Fantasy is a PlayStation 3 exclusive, he will not play it. That makes him not loyal to the series, as he has stopped playing it. Don't try to fool me with your overly-long and stupid explanations, I can't be intimidated by your bullshit.

I'm sorry you're getting confused by my incredible explanations, and if you're intimidated by the magical intertubes.

The only thing you need to be sorry for is you being a fucking idiot.

The reason I don't have a PS3, is that I am too poor to buy one right now.

I would like it if I could play MGS4 and FFXIII on the 360, but I might not be able to.
But I WILL play them on the PS3 if that is the only system they come out on. Seeing as how my girlfriend has a PS3.
