Yakuza 3 has the same exact Metacritic score as Fable 3. 80/100. Shows how weak the 360 exclusives are when one of their top games is equal to a maybe top 20 PS3 game. Just because you didn't like them, doesn't mean they weren't a success. I hated GTA4, but it was a success.
2010 360 exclusives I didn't mention:
Tropico 3
Risen
Espgaluda II Black Label
Supreme Commander 2
Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper
Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi EXTRA
DeathSmiles IIX
Naval Assault: The Killing Tide
Monster Hunter Frontier
DeathSmiles
Ninety-Nine Nights II
MorphX
That's it. Those are some real appealing games right there. :nope:
- Yet failed to mention them Fable 3 blows just as hard as Fable 2. Most of those PS3 exclusives fall in the same boat. I just knew you didn't include a decent % of them in the first post.
This is the only thing you'll find. From March 14th: "Reports suggests that as many as 12,000 PS3s and 5,600 Xbox 360 consoles were swept away by the tsunami. Sony also had to shut down six factories in Fukushima and Miyazaki after the tremore hit Japan. These factories prodcued Blu-ray discs and other products, including PS3s. Sony is still accessing the damage done to these factories."
I've been googling every combination of words to find something and the only things you'll find are people talking about digital cameras and Sony Ericsson. Sony even came out and said the NGP will arrive on schedule. And a lot of their stuff isn't even manufactured in Japan. China makes quite a bit of PS3's/other Sony products. So they only had to shut down just 6 factories. If they were really in danger, you'd see articles all over Kotaku.com about it. There's nothing.
- I know there has been very little news coming from the region. I highly doubt video game development and manufacturing is high on the Japanese media's mind. If there is any setbacks to Sony, the news of that won't be coming out for awhile. It has to have some effect on the company, though, and I doubt it will be a positive one.
Best series on either console (Game of the Year awards speak for themselves)
- I'm not going to argue with you about a games worth based off of imaginary awards won by Spike TV or a game informer magazine, or even game sales, because the Wii would have to enter the conversation in a major way. I'm glad you are looking forward to Uncharted 3. Me? I will wait until it's in the $20 range so I can beat it in 10 hours and be done with it.
Again, you don't need both consoles. Majority of the games are on both. If you want FPS's and a social console, get a 360. If you want everything else, get a PS3. Has nothing to do with posting on a message board either. Not sure what you mean by that.
- Once again, agree to disagree. Either system costs the price of 2 full games. If you consider yourself a gamer, you should have both systems.
You make it sound like once this generation is over the next Sony console will be shit. Definitely won't be the case. Sony knows how not to start off shitty since they've learned from their mistakes with the PS3 launch. Rumors suggest they're keeping the same Cell processor so developers will be used to developing for it. And of course, they have their massive library of first party titles and developers that will never disappear. Even second party developers that makes franchises that are owned by Sony.
