Halo Reach (Xbox360 exclusive) sold 3.3million is first month while God of War 3 (PS3 exclusive) sold 1.1million. I'd say exclusives are better on the Xbox360.

an FPS that is by far microsoft's #1 franchise that is the 4th iteration on the current console with unlimited multiplayer experience on a superior online infrastructure, vs a single player adventure game that is one of the top (but not the top) lasting 8-10 hours with really no replay value which is the first iteration on the current console.

yea, great comparison 😛.

I don't understand why you linked those. It has nothing to do with my post.

You ever wonder why Kinect has outsold Move? Maybe it's the marketing :hmm:. And LOL at "shoving it down my throat". :awe:

Of course it's because of the marketing, but the fact that it was something new rather than a "better Wiimote" also played a huge part. And LOL grow up, seriously.

This is the point I was making as well.

Take a look in the mirror there kiddo. You're the one that comes across like a whiny little kid 🙂

Says the guy that made a throat joke? Yeah, I'm the kid. And stop making the thread personal. Either ignore me (/me waits for the "done hurrdurr" post) or send me a PM. I'm not complaining about anything. I'm talking about the thread topic and your post had so little substance all you could do was state the obvious and then post a sexual joke like anyone thought it was funny. Child.

WTF, throat joke? I was quoting you from your post. 🙄

They respond by not pushing crap like the Kinect. I haven't seen marketing for the Move in forever, but games still support it. Sony is making it an option without shoving it down my throat. Microsoft won't stop talking about the Kinect, even though there has yet to be (and never will be) a killer app for it.

My point was their scores are roughly the same, so using the argument that exclusives are better on the PS3 vs. 360 is a null argument ...

Right, and unless I misunderstood (in which case I apologize) you turned it into a joke. If you weren't doing that then what was the LOL part of your post about? Because MS very much shoved the Kinect down everyone's throats, especially at E3, while Sony pretty much doesn't talk about the Move anymore.

You are implying that somehow MS is forcing the Kinect down your throat by advertising their product, and Sony is somehow better by not advertising their product. I found this amusing and if not a bit naive, sorry 🙂.

That is absolutely my bad then and I'm sorry. I interpreted the post differently.
 
In the strongest market for the 360 it is selling more, shocking data.

How is MS doing in Japan?

Like what? I'd be willing to wager that the exclusives are pretty much neck and neck when it comes to reviews ...

I think it is the fact that there are many more good exclusives on PS3..pretty much all of them are good except killzone and LBP. Xbox doesn't have very many true exclusives any more. Xbox live is an exception, which has many awesome exclusives.

It is the 3rd generation on the current console for Halo (3, ODST, Reach) and both were what came to mind when I thought of big exclusive on each platform. Regardless, the exclusives on the Xbox360 have outsold those on the PS3, when all combined.

Also, Xbox360 doesn't have framerate issues in SFIV or MVC... Just saying.

Well I just looked it up and the number 1 franchise of MS is Halo and for Sony it is GT5.

It's Microsoft's fault that Japanese don't buy American products ?

It's fine the Japanese support their own companies, but sales figures there have nothing to do with sales anywhere else.

and look at the user score, that is a great example of how the review industry works...

GOW3: 8.7
Halo Reach: 7.4


Anyways, its a stupid comparison because they are different games.

Not sure how the user score would be great considering ANYONE can post them, and they're generally done a few months before sometimes.
 
Yeah, as much as critic reviews are skewed the user reviews are too. It's mostly just fanboys posting 10's and then opposing fanboys posting 0's.

They both sucked. I hate all Halo games and hate GOW3. I want to go back to PC gamimg. I tire of both consoles games holding my hand. 🙂
