A lot XBox360 exclusive!

A bit annoying but we do know something. When Sony announce that a game is going to be exclusive to the PS3 it remains only ever released on that platform. In contrast when M$ announce an exclusive game for the 360 it doesn't mean this at all, but instead just means they got it first and it will eventually appear on the PS3, PC, or both.

The waiting time between the 360 releases and the PS3 releases could mean they are adding extra content or making the game look better. Which can only be a good thing.

I may still buy a 360 at some point because there are some games that are only ever going to be seen on the system. However as the system is on the verge of starting to fail (regardless of what anyone says, it will happen), so I'm waiting and will snap one up when they discount them to clear and get one for around £60.

Another factor, that I can see, is the storage media used. The BD format certainly does restrict the possibilities of PS3 'exclusives' making the jump to 360, although PC versions could still remain a distinct possibility.

Or they are still struggling with getting to grips with the system, although that is certainly to be the least likely option. Again, it just be a case of M$ throwing money at the companies.

Another reason for the exclusives, as it keeps a dying system on its feet. I still have no interest in the 360 simply because the number of games that appeal to me are even less than there are on the Wii. And one of those few Wii games looks like it may not make it.

I'm pretty sure all three consoles are actually in rude health, despite what the gamefaqueers and their ilk will have you believe.

Enjoy the good time, my friends.
