360 exclusives in 2012 - are there any? (serious question)

That's something I noticed after I got my 360. I initially got it to play the original Ninja Gaiden II (the one with Ludicrous Gibs and an equally ludicrous difficulty) and to play old Xbox games like Stranger's Wrath (which I still haven't got my hands on for that matter). But when I searched for other 360 games, I realized all of them could be found on PS 3. Of the 4 titles I'm expecting in 2012 (Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations, Asuras Wrath, Ninja Gaiden III and The Last Guardian), three are multiplat and one is a PS 3 exclusive. The only 360 exclusives that might have interested me were Bullet Witch (which, on closer inspection, wasn't as good looking as its heroine) and Ninja Blade (a poor Ninja Gaiden rip-off where QTEs replace the gameplay).

The rest is FPSs and Kinect titles. And DOA 4. So I'm seriously wondering if didn't get screwed by uncle Billy here.

Yeah, let's just face facts. 360 has no gaems.

Honestly, if I could get a copy of the PS 3 Vesperia and there was a PS 3 Lost Odyssey, I'd sell my 360. every single game on there I can get on the PS 3, and the PS 3 just plain works better as a multi-media device. It also runs quieter and has easier menus to navigate, as well as chargeable remotes (I know there's chargeable paks for the 360, but that's an extra cost, and why should I pay extra for something that another company is doing basic?) and free internet support.

I can't even use Netflix on the 360 because it requires an Xbox gold account. Screw that.

Meh. I only use an Xbox because the PS 3 was too fucking expensive when I got my Xbox. The exclusives for the PS 3 don't even interest me, anyway, so meh.

You know what the best part of this is? Stranger's Wrath is one of the few xbox games that doesn't work on a 360.

[up]Oh c'mon. Uncharted, mgs4, inFAMOUS, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, Resistance, SOMETHING has to catch your eye.

Uncharted
Eh... a bit, but I don't really care about it.
mgs4
Never played a Metal Gear Solid game. Never will.
inFAMOUS
Nope.
God of War
See my comment about Metal Gear.
Ratchet and Clank
Eh. I don't care much for 3D platformers.
Resistance
Never heard of it.

Plus, the Xbox has Mass Effect 1. So it wins by default.

I don't think MGS 4 is anything special. I mean, it's not bad.

It's not bad at all.

And I'm usually one to embrace cutscene-heavy games.

But they went overboard.

Way overboard.

Though inFamous and R&C are totally charming and whimsical in their joyful executionz. ;_;

I got the 360 before the PS 3, but I've switched over to the PS 3 because after using both, the playstation is better made, lasted longer, had larger storage space, didn't need to install the games onto the system to make it not scratch the disks to hell, and the PS 3 now has Mass Effect.

[up][up]Hey if you didn't play the others 4 wouldn't be very gratifying.

Are you going to turn this into a console war? If that's the case:

I got my 360 for Forza (four, now there's something hard to say).

360 is good if you like Kinect and dudebro shooters. Wii and PS 3 are good if you like quality videogames.

...Kinda

I resent Kinect because it represents a lack of faith in traditional games. You will    never    see me playing a dancing game on that, if at all. As a hardcore gamer, I'm disgusted in all of these dancing games outselling traditional games like Shin Megami Tensei. We can only hope that they'll burn themselves out Guitar Hero-style.

...Dancing games have actually been around for over a decade now. They can be rather hardcore.
