Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 PS2 naturally is one of the best systems of all time and completely dominated the gen. But what made the Gamecube and XBox so interesting is that they managed to pull of a modest library, of great exclusives. Gamecube REmake/RE4/0 Windwaker Metroid Prime MGS Twin Snakes Tales of Symphonia Paper Mario Xbox Halo Ninja Gaiden Jet Set Radio Panzer Dragoon KOTOR Oddworld Riddick These are just a fraction of exclusives. For the systems. Exclusives are by far the most important thing in any system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Different times. Everyone could afford exclusives back then because games were cheaper. Now, the console field's being narrowed down because when you can't afford quality exclusives, you lose interest from consumers and your product fails. It seems Playstation has emerged as the victor. Nintendo carved out a market (hybrid/handheld), so they're safe/ MS couldn't compete, and is getting/got phased out. RIP Xbox 2001-2015. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Voidler 1,675 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Arguably the best thing to happen to Sony was the loss of third party exclusives on PS3, because they quickly realised the need to adapt and improve their first party from acceptably good to world class. They saw the importance of exclusives Meanwhile MS thought they could live off of third party, gut their first party and ride the Kinect fad forever. And it’s taken them about 7 years to realise where they’ve gone wrong and will take another gen for those acquisitions to be producing cohesively if they ever do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Truno2018 53 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 There’s never been an Xbox system worth owning, let alone for exclusives. Besides a few anomalies every game Xbox is known for has been available on other systems and typically best on PC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
