As of March , the PS3 had moved Where Microsoft was complacent and coasting on their Halo and Gears of War series while aggressively pursuing the family market with Kinect, Sony continued to pump out ambitious exclusives like The Last of Us , Infamous , and Uncharted.
So what does this all mean? Why does Xbox vs PS3 still matter? The actual decisive numbers of which console sold more and when is irrelevant when considering that the pop cultural narrative is false. Where this leaves Koei's BladeStorm -- also announced as a PS3 title, also delayed, also made multiplatform -- is unclear. Koei says its status is not affected as it doesn't use UE3.
What's remarkable about many of these high-profile titles is that they are all from Japanese publishers, who historically have been resistant to the idea of multiplatform games in the first place. Market realities have had a profound effect, and very quickly, on their business practices.
Sony is lucky that Xbox was such a non-starter in Japan, because otherwise it would be ever more doubtful that game makers would bother putting together PS3 versions of their games at all. What's Next? And Microsoft is likely gunning hard for the game. Also, Konami probably prefers making money to losing truckloads of it. All things considered, I'm pretty sure it's already a done deal, given the fact that we hear very credible rumors about it once a week or so.
Categories: News. Tagged as: , , exclusives , for , xbox. Unfortunately, the XBox has never been a very good platform for exclusives unless you enjoy competitive multiplayer. Halo, Gears of War, and Forza Motorsport all stand out. Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary was a game that had training wheels: Industries took a game that already existed and just remade it.
More like Stars of War, lolol. As for the Fable series? I try to forget that it even exists. Fable 1 and 2 were fun in their own ways, but Fable 3 not only killed it for me, but desecrated the corpses. I find that the few exclusives it does have are strong, such as Gears of War, but the loss of Mass Effect 3 was a big blow in my opinion. To me the series needs to change if it wants to be competitive in the next-gen.
But your comment on the Star Wars prequel trilogy mirrors my own fears. What I do find strange, though, is that while the PS3 has more exclusives to its name, they generally struggle. Sony lost Final Fantasy as an exclusive, MS lost Mass Effect… the days of hundreds of market-changing exclusives may be gone before we know it. Indeed, we do seem to be witnessing the fall of exclusives, which is a shame for us gamers because the exclusivity war drove companies to make better and better products.
So, what about Sine Mora? Did you not include that because of a lack of information, including no release date? Almost spot-on, mate.
The original Xbox lands at 19th place with 24 million units sold, behind the Atari , Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis. But the fact remains that of the top-ten best-selling video game consoles in history, Microsoft accounts for just one, the Xbox , and that one near the bottom. Meanwhile, PlayStation commands the 1st, 4th, 5th, 7th and 10th rankings—fully half of the top 10 are Sony systems.
Four of the top 10 are Nintendo systems. Just one belongs to Microsoft. In that sense, Spencer is correct. That makes sense, too. The best way to get gamers using Xbox software is to sell them Xbox hardware. You can just save your money and buy a PS5 instead.
