Title: Battle of the console exclusives
Post by: Melissa on October 20, 2006, 03:05:54 PM: http://www.siliconera.com/index.php/2006/10/18/battle-of-the-console-exclusives/ (http://www.siliconera.com/index.php/2006/10/18/battle-of-the-console-exclusives/)

Even though the Wii has an original control scheme, the Xbox 360 has loads of RAM and the PS3 has the most disc storage it really comes down to the games selling the system. Since you can play Madden, Rayman Raving Rabbids and generic movie game #49209 on all three of the new systems the burden of a console’s success or failure largely relies on what games are exclusive. Exclusivity was one of the cornerstones of the Playstation brand. When Sony claimed stake to Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid many gamers went out to purchase Playstations and later Playstation 2s. Imagine if Final Fantasy VII was released for the Saturn and the PS1, the Saturn would have faired much better. So what can you expect to play on your next system and only on your next system?

Here are some interesting factoids to consider:

There are 58 Xbox 360 exclusives with the console’s one year head start. 23 of the exclusives are published by Microsoft Game Studios, the remaining games are spread over eighteen different companies. Eighteen of those titles are currently on the market, which means the bulk of the games are still in development. Why is the number so low? Some of the popular titles on the X360 like Call of Duty 2 are also PC games due to the ease of releasing games on multiple platforms. Even though the Xbox 360 doesn’t have exclusivity on franchise games like the Godfather and NBA Live 07, the 360 versions typically look better than their current generation counterparts.

Meanwhile Sony only has eighteen titles developed internally and 35 titles exclusive to the Playstation 3. They lost out on exclusivity to Assassin’s Creed, BioShock and the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Losing Grand Theft Auto is a dent in Sony’s line up, but Sony managed to snag console exclusivity of The Elder Scrolls series and F.E.A.R. away from Microsoft. While Sony was once the reigning champion of third party support, but as of now only nine companies are developing exclusive titles for the Playstation 3 and one of those companies is technically a division, Sony Online Entertainment. Speaking of Sony Online Entertainment they are making an online game based on the DC Universe and Microsoft is making an online game based on the Marvel Universe. Competition much?

Nintendo has a huge catalog of console exclusives, 46 (updated from 38) to be exact. When you adjust the amount of Xbox 360 exclusive titles for the one year head start the Wii has six more Wii only games. Nintendo is rightfully the big supporter of the Wii with 14 titles in the pipeline. Nintendo also has a sizeable amount of third party support with 19 companies publishing properties just for the Wii. Another arguable point is that all of the Wii’s titles are “gameplay exclusive”. Since the Wii has a its own control scheme Call of Duty 3 is going to play quite differently on the Wii than it is on the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. Will this cause gamers to purchase two versions of the same game? One for the Wii’s remote style gameplay and one for traditional gamepad controls? Or will this favor the Wii’s intuitive set up?

Namco Bandai, Square-Enix and Sega are splitting up their exclusives with unique games on each of the three consoles. However, there is a slight bent towards Sony between these companies. Virtua Fighter 5, the next Tekken and Final Fantasy XIII are considered Playstation 3 exclusives (note Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is its own series).

While Ubisoft is strongly backing the Wii with eight titles on launch day, Red Steel is the only game designed stricktly for the Wii.

The Wii has the most exclusive games based on a licensed properties and most of those games are anime titles. Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, SD Gundam and Shin-chan are all coming to the Wii

Rockstar Games might have made the Grand Theft Auto series multiplatform, but their upcoming game, L.A. Noire, is currently a Playstation 3 exclusive.

Microsoft is the largest first party publisher with 23 titles designed specifically for the Xbox 360.

Actually Necro-Nesia looks like a N64 game. The wii doesn't have much power to begin with and yet some developers are choosing to use a small fraction of the gimped horse power . For the systems power Red Steel looks fantastic as does Smash Bros., Mario Galaxy, Excite Truck and MP and a few others.

The wii is very reliant on exclusive games because so many multiplatform titles simply won't make it on to the system. Those games that do will have significantly worse graphics and may lack certain gameplay elements due to the systems limitations. So you may be correct when it comes to the other two systems, but I think exclusives matter on the wii, simply because the system will be so reliant on exclusive titles.

Too bad most third party developers are just porting their PS2 engines onto the Wii, throwing some waggle gimmicks on, and calling it a day. That's going to hurt the console in the long term; Mario and Zelda can't carry the Wii to victory alone.

Get both! I'm honestly starting to see the PS3 as actually having a good value, if you can afford it. I'm way more excited about the PS3 than I was six months ago, but that's not really saying much. The 360 has satisfied me for almost a whole year now and it looks like it will do even better in 2007. I need the Wii just because I like Zelda and Mario. Fuck you, Nintendo.
Title: Re: Battle of the console exclusives
Post by: Himu on October 20, 2006, 09:03:40 PM: ps3 still doesn't interest me.

I don't want game systems to be super computers. I honestly don't care about that extra stuff, I want a game system. The simple fact Sony is treating it like a Blu Ray player that happens to play games makes it infinitely unappealing.

We were thinking PSP would kick all ass with it's power and "I can do anything" mentality, and that ended up being a massive failure. Emphasis on movies or music videos instead of the main reason people bought it in the first place: games. I am willing to bet the same thing will happen to ps3.

And screw Blu Ray, HD-DVD, and any of that next gen format clap trap. I'm just fine with dvds.

The reason I prefer consoles to pc gaming is because I don't have to worry about a lot of this stuff. It's just about straight gaming. And now we have super computers as game systems which are at ridiculous prices, microtransactions trying to invade games, and emphasis over features than the actual games.

Thank the heavens for DS and PS2.

I understand that most people are satisfied with DVD because most people don't have an HDTV, but man, after seeing HD on my TV and playing DVD's on my TV for over a year, I want an HD format. I don't care who wins. I'm buying the HD DVD addon for the 360 and I'm getting a PS3. I'm getting exclusive movies for both, and any movies that aren't exclusive I'm getting on whichever one has the better transfer. I can't take it anymore. I want HD content for my HDTV.

Post by: Mupepe on October 20, 2006, 09:42:55 PM: Yeah, the PSP isn't as big of a failure as fanboys want to assume. Sure it's not taking over portable gaming, but it's decent and has a loyal fanbase while selling decently every month. A price drop is in order though and that should help it quite a bit. If anything is a failure regarding the PSP, it's UMD movies.

Post by: etiolate on October 20, 2006, 11:47:41 PM: Exclusives don't mean so much anymore, and exclusives hardly ever stay exclusive. There is talk that Bioshock and Lost Planet will end up on PS3, but I really don't care. I'll probably have a 360 before a ps3 and I will just get it on that system. Once exclusive, then not exclusive, but in the end its the same game pretty much.

Rayman isn't exclusive, but who's going to buy a game based entirely around the wiimote on another system? Exclusives just don't determine much. It's a PR/hype war.

or worse, the token gameskank on some YouTube geek production.
So what's the deal here anyway - have you got some kind of problem with me?

You call me a "skank" out of nowhere. I start a gaming thread after you complain about this place needing more gaming topics, and you bitch about it being "console war faggotry". Then, in the same thread, you say,"ds am failure total" and "ps3 sux" - both idiotic statements AND "console war faggotry". What's your story, dude? Are you some kind of joke character here? the resident Cornelius-style grump? just an asshole?

It's fine if they don't work - but bitching about not having enough of them, then trying to ruin ones when they start...that's just dumb.

The biggest mystery is this guy claiming to have a daughter - someone let him stick his dick in?

What the fuck are you even talking about? Get over myself? Ran away to here? I've been posting on and off here for awhile now. If I wanted to deal with dildo trolls, I'd continue to hang out at OA. Why not tell Drinky Crow to get over himself here - what did I do beyond stand up for myself? How about you do me a favor and quit trying to pass judgement on me. If someone is being a dick, I will ask them why they're being a dick. If someone wants to make fun of the show I'm on, I will ask them about it.

I suppose. But I didn't "run from" there to here. I just switched to lurk mode at OA. I hang out at other forums as well, like gaygamer.net (http://ofp.gamepark.cz/forum/html/emoticons/wub.gif)

I got tired of the routine. Same replies, different threads. It's much more informative when I just read threads/links without participating and fighting with people, or waste time sticking up for my 'distinguished mentally-challenged fellow crew'.

The NASCAR thing turned me off to that one - but I'll watch it if I get it. I'm still trying to see what kind of discount I can get from the Sony store.
