Where do you stand on the console exclusives debate? Both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 offer great exclusives for their systems and the games are usually a key factor in deciding which console you want to buy. The Examiner has offered their opinions on the topic, check it out.
If you take a look at their article, they have highlighted six key exclusives for the Xbox 360 and six exclusives for the PS3.
The Xbox 360 has Halo 3, Gears of War 1 & 2, Left4Dead, Mass Effect, Fable 2 and Crackdown. Meanwhile the PS3 offers Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, LBP, Valkria Chronicles, Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank. According to the Examiner, they believe the PS3’s lineup of exclusives beat the 360’s lineup hands down. Reasons for this include the lack of variety on the 360 or as the Examiner quotes: ”The 360 lineup really lacks variety, and that hurts.”
Have a look at the article in full and read their conclusions as to why they think the PS3 has the best lineup. Do you agree with them? State your opinions below.

THERE BOTH GOOD SYSTEMS I LIKE PS3 BETTER FOR THERE TITLES BUT I OWN BOTH AND PLAY THEM EQUALLY, THEY BOTH HAVE KILLER GAMES COMING IN 2009, I THINK SONYS IS A LITTLE STRONGER, BUT TO EACH IS OWN
word hollywooda.
I have both consoles. As it stands all my money is going on ps3 exclusives. Killzone 2 is taking up my time with my eye firmly on the new title inFamous - its looks awesome!
ps3 wins for me so far this year :o)
KILLZONE 2 IS THE BEST SHOOTER MADE SO FAR, GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING AND GAME PLAY IS AMAZING , THE DLC COMMING APRIL 30 IS GOING TO BE SUPERB, I HAVE BOTH SYSTEMS, NOW THE BALL IS IN XBOX COURT, IM SURE THE NEW HALO 3 OHSD OR WHAT EVER ITS CALLED WILL BE GOOD, WHEN SONY AND XBOX BATTLE, WE WILL, WE GET GREAT GAMES THAT IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT FOR ME, GREAT GAMES, INFAMOUS LOOKS GREAT, CANT WAIT FOR GOD OF WAR 3 , DRAKES FORTUNE AMONG THIEVES, AND THERE ALREADY WORKING ON KILLZONE 3 HAHAHAHAH CANT WAIT, HAVE FUN, JUST PLAY!!
I have all of the current consols and 80% of my gaming time is playing the 360. The PS3 for me is the one that lacks. Although it has some good exclusives there isn’t as many games to choose from overall and even exclusive wise i find myself getting 1/2 way through the PS3 games and going back to the XBOX.
IF YOU HAVE BOTH SYSTEMS 2009 SONY HAS A GREAT LINE UP COMMING , DONT GIVE UP ON THEM YET,
What a dumb question xbox 360 has a better exclusives killzone for the ps3 looks good but for me its 360 all the way.
HAVE YOU PLAYED KILLZONE YET? IF YOU HAVENT CHECK IT OUT , IF TOU ARE A HARDCORE SHOOTER LIKE ME, ITS THE BEST GAME SHOOTER WISE OUT AS OF NOW, CHECK IT OUT YOU WILL LOVE IT, I GUARENTEE IT
ps3 is better is has more features. and its a all in one console unlike xbox360 u have to buy to many other attachments. ur to blind to c that microsoft is ripping yall off. u have to buy cards to play on line. wat tha hell.xbox360 is a rip off
I HAVE BOTH SYSTEMS AND I AGREE WITH YOU, I ONLY HAVE 360 FOR A COUPLE OF TITLES, PS3 IS SUPERIOR, THEY HAVE GREAT GAMES COMMING
Other than Blu-Ray the PS3 really doesn’t have more features. Other than being able to put linux on it they basically do the exact same thing. The difference being it’s much easier to do it all on the 360. Sony should really consider a GUI update so you don’t have to go through 5 menus to get anywhere. As for online play it’s not even comparible. Sony has a long ways to go before they match LIVE, you get what you pay for in this instance.
Also having a MS media center PC to record all my TV and distribute it throughout the house makes the 360 console that gets turned on every day making it have the 1 advantage Sony can’t currently match. I would love it if my PS3 could seamlessly intigrate with a good media centre (TVersity isn’t good).
The PS3 needs more can’t live without games. Having 2 exclusive games that peak a person’s interest is not going to sell consoles forever. I find my PS3 sits for a month at a time until another reasonable game comes out because that’s the only thing I can do with it. It’s got the hardware to do so much more but Sony has 100% dropped the ball in making it a media / game hub that it could be.
THE PS3 CAME OUT OF BOX WITH HDMI, XBOX GOT ON THE WAGON AND NOW PUTS IT ON THE CONSOLES, PS3 HAS BLUERAY PLAYER, IT ALSO HAS A WEB BROWSER, IT HAS BUILT IN WIFI, XBOX COSTS ANOTHER 100.00 , PS3 CONTROLLERS CHARGE WITH OUT SPENDING 40.00 FOR 2 CHARGE KITS, YOU CAN USE USB CARDS WITH PS3 8 GIGS FOR 30 BUCKS INSTEAD OF 256MB FOR 50.00, XBOX HAS 33 PERCENT FAIL RATE COMPARED TO PS3 1 PERCENT, I HAVE BOTH CONSOLES SORRY GAME PLAY IS BETTER ON PSN NETWORK AND ITS FREE , YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT LIKE WITH XBOX, TOU CAN USE 8 CONTROLLERS INSTEAD OF 4, BLUETOOTH IS WAY BETTER THEN 2.4 FREQUINCY, YOU CAN PUT INTERNAL 900 GIG HD, AND LABTOP HD, INSTEAD OF XBOX OVERPRICED HD THAT LIMIT YOU TO 160 GIG, I LIKE BOTH SYSTEMS , THEY BOTH HAVE GREAT GAMES, BUT THE PS3 IS SO FAR SUPERIOR , YOU HAVE TO BE DUMB NOT TO SEE IT, IM A PS3 AND XBOX FAN BOY, ITS ABOUT GREAT GAMES, SONY JUST MADE A BETTER MORE RELIABLE PRODUCT. SIMPLE AS THAT
the ps3 is the better console in every way , features , graphics, free online, web browser, blueray, 80 gig hd out of the box, killzone is better then gears 1 and 2, i know i have 360 also, metal gear, god of war3 infamous, drakes among thieves, and lots more better variety, just a better console all together, why do you think microsoft is developing a new machine already , to release around 2012, with blueray, , which microsoft downplays , and they are putting it on there new system and even tried to add it to the 360, microsoft knows 2009 and on its all ps3 baby
I completely agree with you. The PS3 is way better than the xbox360
PS3 has some amazing exclusives. Both consoles have great exclusive games but my favourite has to be LittleBigPlanet on PS3 - its amazing and different to all other games, check it out if you don’t have it: http://www.ps3home.co.uk/reviews119/LittleBigPlanet-Review.html
Xbox 360 has some good titles such as Forza and Halo but PS3 can match those with upcoming GT5 and MGS.
This question borders on plain out stupid…The 360 wins this hands down. I have all three systems, and the PS3 is my bluray player, the wii is largely ignored now that the novelty has worn off, and the 360 is hands down the game playing console.
It also is the movie watching console simply because of the Netflix app. Kind of hard to beat…
This article is “dumb” because the author claims the 360 has no variety. when it actually has all the JRPG’s and most of the action titles the Playstation HAD last gen, and therefore is just a stupid flamewar starter…Therefore DUMB.
(I do however like little big planet, even though I don’t really have the time to devote to it that I would like…)
The authors of these articles should really TRY to stick with the facts instead of being controversial.
Shamefull.
I PLAY BOTH SYSTEMS EQUALLY, I DONT HAVE A WII, BECAUSE I THINK ITS GEARED FOR KIDS, GAMEPLAY IS SLOWER, GRAPHICS ARNT EVEN IN THE SAME LEAGUE, I LOVE BOTH SYSTEMS, IF I HAD TO CHOOSE ONE I WOULD CHOOSE PS3, SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE THE OPPOSITE, TO MUCH ARRGUMENT OVER WHICH IS BETTER, THER BOTH GOOD , AND DIFFRENT IN MANY WAYS BUT ALSO SIMILAR IF THAT MAKES SENCE, EVERYBODY STOP THE FIGHTING , JUST PLAY, ENJOY THE GREAT VARIETY OF GAMES SONY AND MICROSOFT ARE PUTTING OUT , AND JUST PLAY THEM
I happen to think the PS3 is a very good system. I happen to like the new OS on the Xbox, and mostly I prefer the games it has to offer. Unlike the unlisted author of this article, I thinkit is obvious that the Xbox has the MOST choice of games.
I don’t LIKE shooters at all. I like the RPG’s that can be played on Xbox, Last Remnant, Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Fable, Fable 2, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect,Oblivion just to mention the ones that come to mind. Add to that Resident Evil and games like Condemned and Condemned 2, and what you have is REAL CHOICE. Notice I didn’t name a single Halo or Call of Duty in the bunch. Those are the games that helped move the Xbox sales wise, and I don’t really play any of them. I also agree strongly with Game On, I also have computers with MediaCenter and HD TV tuners, and the MediaCenter expander on the 360 with a Windows Media PC can’t be beat. (Especially if you carry it one more step and have a Zune.) To pause a movie on my 360 and start to record a TV show I want, and convert it wirelessly and sync it to my zune, without even getting off the chair - While chatting with friends on cam, online on xbox live can’t be duplicated on my PS3. I like my PS3 once again, it cost too much, I got it when it first came out before they stopped the backwards compatibility, But I don’t prefer it over Xbox fr any functions at all. I DO like playing all the PS2 RPG’s on it though!(Maybe not $599 dollars worth tho…)
YAH 599.00 IS EXPENSIVE, I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE 40 GIG TO COME DOWN TO 399 BEFORE I COULD GET ONE, THATS WHY I TRY NOT TO GET CAUGHT UP IN THE WHICH IS BETTER, THEY ARE BOTH GREAT MACHINES, PEOPLE WANT DIFFRENT THINGS FROM THERE GAME SYSTEM, I WOULD SAY 360 IS A BIT MORE GEARED TORDS PC GAMERS, AND PS3 FOR JUST ALL AROUND GAMING, BUT IF YOU ARE A TRUE GAMER YOU WILL NEED BOTH MACHINES, I DONT HAVE THE WII, IT JUST DOES NOTHING FOR ME, MAYBE WHEN THEY REALLY UP THE GRAPHICS, TO ME KILLER GRAPHICS ALONG WITH KILLER GAME PLAY CANT BE BEAT, I WAS WONDERING ABOUT FABLE 2 , I JUST DONT HAVE MUCH EXPERIENCE WITH THOSE TYPES OF GAMES, MAY HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT THOUGH
