Exclusive: GamerSquad examines exclusive exclusivity

August 20, 2007 in News comments 10

Software, that's the heart of any games machine - regardless of oiled hardware muscle and pulsing GPU capacity. Software is the key.

Join GamerSquad as we peruse the exclusive games coming to each of the 'big three' consoles and grade them for their potential impact. You may be surprised at the lists, and even more surprised by the results.

As exclusives go, precisely what will be served up by each of the three current-gen consoles in the coming months? And by that, we mean the true exclusives, the ones we know as true exclusives now.

GamerSquad has duly taken a look at the dozen most promising single-platform games attached to each machine, and then dished out some forecast grades by way of outlining the potential winners and losers.

    Apparently, they liked the PS3's exclusives the most, and the Wii's the least.

    Wow i can't believe the PS3 has more promise exclusives, oh wait im not surprise But in all seriousness, im surprised The Agency isn't on that list its the most promising Exclusive and MMO game coming for PS3. But seeming as how this isn't all fact, its still nice to see some PS3 recognition.

    Actually, no. While all the covered exclusives promise great things for their respective consoles, it was the Xbox 360 that came bottom, while the Wii sits between Sony and Microsoft.

    Please note: the article covers pure exclusives, that excludes 'timed' exclusives and also those 360 games also appearing on the PC.

        Not really, if you put the PC in the frame the 360 actually has the least exclusives, i mean you look at the PS3 all its exclusives you can only get on that platform, same as the Wii though on the 360 chances are if you like the look of a game say BioShock or Gears of War its on the PC too and thats the point, the 360 really has very few truly exclusive games.

          How many people can actually play those games on PCs? If you want to go the route of PC gaming, even the Devil May Cry series was never exclusive. Leave PC ports out of it.

          Tenken, there is a HUGE market for PC gaming, and there are a TON of people that play those games. BioShock for instance runs great on even middle range hardware.

    I'm actually not surprised that they like PS3's exclusives more than the others. The other game consoles' exclusive's aren't so exclusive...at least that's what I think.

    Isn't this totally contradictory to their other article that popped up a day later ? They are two different writers, I guess. Either way, it all comes down to opinion in the end.

    I don't think the 360 has the worst line-up when it comes to exclusives (at least console exclusives). I suppose it does lose many of it's exclusives to the PC, but the two are rather difficult to compare. I'd normally chose the console verison. In terms of console exclusives, the 360 is doing great. Many multiplatform titles seem to run better on the 360 than the PS3 so far, as well (although those aren't exclusives)

    I prefer the Wii's exclusive line-up the most, although I don't know why they have games like Donkey Kong: Bongo Blast and Fire Emblem, both originally GC games, instead of Battalion Wars 2 and Zack and Wiki. Oh well, their taste.

    The PS3 has Ratchet and Clank, Metal Gear Solid 4 and LittleBigPlanet, all which look like amazing games. I'm not interested in the other exclusives(except GoW3), but those three look like killers.
