    Crackdown 2 is out soon. Fable 3 also exclusive. There's a list on Wikipedia, dunno how accurate/up-to-date it is.

    Since the ps2 vs original xbox the number of console exclusives has been on the decline, costs of development and dev's wanting to see as much of that back as possible would see them reluctant to commit to just one platform. Of course there are exceptions just saying the number of exclusives is not what it used to be. These days it's more extra content and dlc that varies more so that the actual titles, and the actual titles mentioned already all have the microsoft game studies label on them.

    Red dead Redemption was a recent one that springs to mind that had extra content for PS3 that wasn't included in the xbox version for some reason.

    There's also that new Crytek game Codename Kingdoms. Pretty much nothing known about it so far except it's an xbox exclusive and it's been developed by crytek. Will be one to keep an eye on i reckon

    On top of the titles the posters above have highlighted, I think it's safe to sat Mass Effect 3 will be 360 exclusive too. While some people have speculated that it'll come to the PS3 too, perhaps in trilogy form, the problem is Microsoft Games Studios published the first installment so unless some major cash changes hands, that reduces the possibility big time.

    With the number of console exclusives diminishing these days what we're seeing more is platform exclusive content, such as the extra Gang Hideout and outfit seen in the recent Red Dead Redemption that calex71 pointed out, and the forthcoming Dead Space 2 and Medal Of Honor content Sony announced at E3.

    but watching sony and microsoft e3 ps3 seems to have more coming than xbox or microsoft were so focused on kinect they didnt bother with anything else.
    I can see xbox turning into a wii type thing if kinect is successful in terms of shovelware :(

    I'm not sure I agree. Microsoft had Halo Reach, Gears 3 and Codename: Kingdoms. While Crackdown 2 wasn't mentioned during their press conference it was still on the show floor and still managed to win 1Up's Best Action Game award.

    Sony had Killzone 3, Infamous 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Gran Turismo 5 and Twisted Metal.

    Seems pretty even to me?

    spose so.
    Just hope kinect gets a few decent titles before launch and dosent fall victim to shovel ware then i'll definatly buy it.
    sorta sitting on the fence about it atm.

    There's also Dead Rising 2 which I think is still a 360 exclusive like the first one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,219 ✭✭✭RobertFoster


    Dead Rising 2 will be on the PS3 and PC as well. The demo/preview thing, Case Zero, will be Xbox exclusive though.

    One could argue it's still an exclusive unless they bring it out on MAC :)

    Or console exclusive, which is what people generally mean when they say exclusive in relation to the PS3 and 360.
