That’s the verdict from IGN AU Console Showdown, anyway. Nintendo’s console saw more and better exclusive titles released during 2009 than either of its high-def competitors.
IGN has tracked all the console exclusives released this year and compared review scores. Unsurprisingly, the Wii had by far the most exclusives: six times as many as the Xbox 360 and over five times as many as the PlayStation 3.
Sure, the Wii has an awful lot of shovelware and crappy minigame compilations, but it also has 24 games that scored at least eight out of ten on IGN’s reviewing scale, including the excellent New Super Mario Bros., Little King’s Story, Muramasa, House of the Dead: Overkill and Punch-Out!!, to name just a few.
In comparison, the PS3 had just six and the Xbox 360 a mere four, reflecting just how many multi-platform games those two systems have.
Do exclusives matter to you?
