The bold games are exclusive to that console.

PS3 Exclusives above 8/10: 5
Xbox 360 Exclusives above 8/10: 39

Xbox 360 has 7.8 times as many 8/10 games exclusive to their console. Also, NBA Street Homecourt and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007 are the only ports that rank higher on the PS3 and are above scores of 8/10.
Does this, for now, prove that Xbox 360 has better games than PS3 at this point? Also, will the PS3 be able to catch up and then keep up in the coming years? There's a long way to go, but for now, the claims that PS3 doesn't have many good games... is true.

Ratings taken from MetaCritic.com. To be in the top scores for each console, each game had to have at least 5 ratings from seperate sites.

GRAW 2 Timed Exclusive?

GRAW 2 Timed Exclusive?
Published by: eltsha on Wednesday, January 24, 2007
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

Ubisoft's most recent financial report has handed Microsoft an unexpected New Year surprise...

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 has slipped out of the developers release schedule for this fiscal year on the PS3 - handing the Xbox 360 a timed exclusive over its next-gen rival!
Advertisement

Set to hit our vanilla machines on March 9, the PS3 version of GRAW 2 will not appear before that months end (as Ubisoft's fiscal year concludes on March 31). And as of yet, there is no confirmed release date for the title on Sony's behemoth looking further ahead into 2007 - will this lead stretch over days, or months?

In a period where the Xbox 360 is starting to kick up its heels in the race for home console glory, this delay does not bode well for Sony. Especially when you factor in their underwhelming exclusive games on the PS3 thus far.

Remember, there is still the single player demo of GRAW 2 to look forward to. Find out more about that here, but first tell us why you think this delay may have come about and debate any likely impact it will have in the comments box below.

Editors Note: It appears that Gamestop now has the PS3 Version listed for a June 2007 release, it looks to be a 3 month delay. - Sjohn
