this is a list of all playstation and xbox exclusives. for it to be included on the list. it has to have either a Gameranking or Metacritic score above 80. i included the ign score as well (just for reference), but a game will not be on the list if it has >80 ign score but not metacritic/gamerankings.

i also left off casual/party games, or just arcady type games, also no psn or xbla only games. (so a game like Singstar is not on the list, and neither is some download only game). also no move and Kinect only games. This list is mostly AAA and AA titles only.

what makes it exclusive?: (note this is the ps3 game rules, for the xbox game rules scroll way down)

-not on any other system

-only on a PlayStation (so God of war collection counts, but not Splinter Cell collection)

- different enough from its psp, ps2 counterparts (so games like MLB: The Show count)

if you think that i missed any games please tell me and i will add it.

the PS3 exclusive list didnt start off with a bang, though some games just missed the cut (like Ridge Racer). but it has been a tour de Force for several years now.

so as you can see with the scores, ign seems to score game slighlty higher. especially earlier in this gen. early in the ps3 life cycle ign ranked the ps3 games fairly high in comparison to others, but interesting enough lately that does not seem to be the case. you might be able to see a trend starting in late 2010, ign started rating games either very close to the gameranking and metacritic score, or below it. that is especially evident in 2011.

And why do they always underrate MLB The Show!!! its awesome!

here is a list of the xbox games

basically same rules apply.

but i did include games also on PC (to make it more balanced), though i did italicize the PC games.

i tallied the xbox ONLY games, and the XBOX/PC games (you can see the totals, where it says TITLE) and then added them for the total amount of games.

again, if you feel i either unjustly included or didnt include a game, please just tell me, and i will look into it.

xbox got off to a very good start, securing many titles when the ps3 didnt exist, but the game rampage has been dialed back lately. again ign ranks their games slightly higher. ironically enough, earlier in this gen, ign ranked the games much closer to the gameranking. metacritc counterparts, but lately, starting around 2010, ign started ranking the games more higher than meta/rankings, the opposite of what appears to be happening with ps3.

edit: i fixed the xbox list. i subtracted Tales of Vesperia, and added FlatOut: Complete Carnage. FlatOut is also on the original xbox, but it still counts because it only on an XBOX (just like God of War collection counts). FlatOut is also on the PC, but like the other PC games, im including it. i adjusted scores accordingly .

So what do you guys think? i believe i compiled all exclusive (and sort of exclusive games) of note (over 80 score) on the PS3 and xbox. Both have strong libraries.

if you feel i messed up somewhere please tell me, but i think this list is pretty accurate.

It's funny that to make it more balanced, you add multiplats into the 360 list.

MLB The Show also isn't just on PS3.

well until this year, the MLB The Show's have been almost completely different games, and with completely different engines on the other platforms (psp, ps2)

This year is the first year that they were able to use the PS3 engine on another platform, and carry over all/most of the features.

still a "PlayStation" exclusive though.

I was wondering the same thing. Why make a list like this if your gonna break your own rules??? Makes no sense, to me. Just give a list a actual exclusives.

Love and tolerate.

well i have a feeling if i left out PC games (as well as HD remakes) people would be very up in arms.

and technically the HD remakes are more of an exclusive than the PC games are.

for example, God of War Collection is still very much a "PlayStation" exclusive. you can only play it on a PlayStation.

or Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is also an "XBOX" exclusive since you can only play it on xbox edit: actually doesnt work in this case, since its actually on PC too.
