Following the recent shocking announcement of one the most prolific Playstation 3 exclusives going multiplatform, Final Fantasy XIII, talk of "PS3 is dead" and "I'm selling my PS3" (even if the person doesn't even own a PS3) took the forum by storm. However, things are in Sony's favor. Final Fantasy XIII is still PS3 exclusive in Japan and will be release first worldwide with a X-box 360 version rumored with a release date of 2010.

We all know that third party exclusives are basically dead, so in the long run first and second party exclusives will determine the outcome of the console war. Sony have more first party studios than Nintendo and Microsoft combined which in turns means more exclusives for Sony in the long run. In this discussion, I will mainly focus on Sony and Microsoft so let's look at the first and second party studios for each company.

Microsoft
1st Party
ACES Game Studio (Flight Simulator and Combat Flight Simulator series)
Carbonated Games (Hexic, 7 Hand Poker, UNO, Aegis Wing)
Ensemble (Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, Halo Wars)
Hired Gun (Halo 2 for Windows Vista)
Lionhead (Black and White, The Movies, Fable)
Rare (Perfect Dark, Kameo, Conker, Banjo, Viva Pinata)
Turn10 (Forza Motorsport)
Wingnut Interactive (No game in development)

2nd Party
Mistwalker (Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey)

Sony
1st Party
Clap Hanz (Hot Shots Golf)
Polyphony Digital (Gran Turismo, Motor Toon Grand Prix, Omega Boost)
SCE Japan Studio (Project Siren, Ape Escape, LocoRoco, Folklore, Genji)
Team ICO (ICO, Shadow of the Colossus)
Incognito Entertainment (Twisted Metal, Warhawk)
Naughty Dog (Jak and Daxter, Uncharted)
SCE Bend Studio (Syphon Filter)
SCE Foster City Studio (Jet Li: Rise to Honor)
SCE San Diego Studio (The Mark of Kri, NBA '07, MLB The Show 08)
SCE Santa Monica Studio (God of War, Kinetica)
Sony Online Entertainment LLC. (EverQuest, DC Online Universe, The Realms, The Agency)
Zipper Interactive (SOCOM, M.A.G.)
Bigbig Studios (Pursuit Force)
Evolution Studios (Motorstorm)
Guerrilla Games (Killzone)
SCE London Studio (The Getaway, SingStar)
SCE Studio Cambridge (MediEvil, Primal)
SCE Studio Liverpool (Wipeout, F1)
SCE Korea (EyeToy, GloRace)

2nd Party
Sucker Punch (Sly Cooper, Infamous)
Insomniac (Ratchet and Clank, Resistance)

Sony have a total of 21 first and second party studios while Microsoft have 9. With third party exclusives basically dead, the favor is clearly in Sony's favor. Hardware reliability also helps. I hope this thread stops the "PS3 is dead" nonsense.

how many first party sony IP's have sold over 5 million units? (as in a singular game)

I think you'll find the ONLY one is Gran Turismo and its associated sequels

its cuz they're all going batshit crazy over getting a former exlusive, instead of an exlusive of their own. The jealousy over insane graphics/gameplay of LBP, KZ2, R2, and now inFamous is getting to them, also hearing announcments of awesome new IPs such as GOW3 and MAG has them shaking in their boots. It might be cuz they are blinded by GeOW2 and uhh a bunch of multiplats

PS3 is never dead unless you don't pay your NIPSCO bill.

None of the consoles will be dying any time soon. Just buy the console you want for it's games!

It's a shame that you feel the need to make this thread just so you and your fellow fanboys can feel secure about their purchase. The PS3 may not be much now, but Sony has proven they are console kings more than once. Relax...the games will come.

Seriously... some of these threads le-mo if your not gunna save 'em just put it in a blog.

IT'Z CUZ SQUARE IS ALL LIKE OH MA GAHH, I NEED MONEY, MICROSOFT GIVE ME MONEY, I WANT MONEY!

AND LIKE MICROSOFT IS ALL LIKE OH MA GAHH GIVE FINAL FANTASY 13 000 000!

AND SQUARE IS LIKE TOTALLY!

Seriously though, it's just the Sony fanboys crying about one game. I bet majority of them were not even going to buy it. Same goes with the Microsoft fanboys.

One game does not determine the outcome of the console war.

I don't like many of Sony's first party (or second party) anything. Same with Micro.

The third party exclusives have been pretty much all obtained by MS. As far as big hitters go, there's Versus which is a major third party exclusive, but I see no reason as to why it would stay exclusive. Not to mention Sony will do **** all to ensure its exclusivity. "WE BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR PARTNERS...THEY'LL BE LOYAL" *lose 80 exclusives* "....Fuuuckkk..."

Actually no, I did not make this thread so I can feel "secure" about my purchase, I made this thread so 360 and Nintendo fanboy's can stop their "PS3 is dead" nonsense.

I think this final fantasy announcement has been great. now the only people will buy it are people who will actually enjoy it - rather than what would have happened otherwise....people buying it because "its all they have"
