Lo and behold, a post with an actual point to it from me. Imagine that!
So I look through my backlog for all the games I have for all three consoles that I want to play. To my somewhat surprise, nearly all of the top items were all exclusive to that specific console. The games I could get on either two or more game consoles were pushed further back. Maybe I subconsciously did that?
A few of them aren’t that recent, either; for example, Project Gotham Racing 4, while a fairly old game, is nearly at the top of the list, along with Halo 3, meanwhile on the PS3, I have both Uncharted games on there (both of which I have played and beaten before).
And it’s not to say the multiplatform games are better or worse, for that matter; I have DJ Hero, Way of the Samurai 3, Tekken 6, BlazBlue, and a host of other games that can easily be comparable to the top games on my list, but yet they’re not as important to me in regards of must-play value.
It’s a very odd effect that exclusive games have like that; their main purpose is to sell systems per se, with being an outstanding game and experience almost an afterthought to push a specific aspect of the console’s graphics and/or control scheme. And yet they’re always gravitated to first. Very odd indeed.
