Ever since Arkham Asylum it seems like Sony made it a strategy to secure relatively minor "day one" game content exclusives. My question for all the multiplatform owners out there is: Has this impacted your purchase decisions?
Where as Microsoft chooses to secure major but temporary game content exclusives (COD maps, GTA episodes, Fallout expansions), Sony began a strategy of securing more minor but seemingly permanent exclusives. Over the past year or so I recall:
Batman: Arkham Asylum - "Joker challenge maps"
Mafia II - "The Betrayal of Jimmy" missions
Red Dead Redemption - "Solomon's Folly Gang Hideout" and the "Walton Gang Outfit"
Toy Story 3 - playable "Zurg" character
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - "Copernicus Conspiracy" missions
With the notable exception of Batman, these games perform better on the Xbox 360, but the 360 version you will never have all the content created for the game. Is this content pushing anybody over the the PS3 version when you otherwise would have bought the 360? Has Sony's strategy paid off?
