Battle of the console exclusives

Even though the Wii has an original control scheme, the Xbox 360 has loads of RAM and the PS3 has the most disc storage it really comes down to the games selling the system. Since you can play Madden, Rayman Raving Rabbids and generic movie game #49209 on all three of the new systems the burden of a console’s success or failure largely relies on what games are exclusive. Exclusivity was one of the cornerstones of the Playstation brand. When Sony claimed stake to Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid many gamers went out to purchase Playstations and later Playstation 2s. Imagine if Final Fantasy VII was released for the Saturn and the PS1, the Saturn would have faired much better. So what can you expect to play on your next system and only on your next system?
