It is an Xbox 360, and I have my reasons for it <em>(SIDENOTE: the fund is going strong, almost there)</em>. But let&#8217;s talk about something else that shuffles around in my mind a lot lately, and that is&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;the games I&#8217;ll be missing out on. Y&#8217; know, console exclusives. And some of these really pull at my heartstrings as they belong to series that I&#8217;m a diehard fan of. Okay, enough of this. Let the tears flow.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Sly Cooper 4</strong> (rumored for just the PS3, with another Sly Cooper game coming out simultaneously for the PSP)</li>
<li><strong>Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction</strong></li>
<li><strong>Uncharted</strong> (by those good ol&#8217; <strong>Jak and Daxter</strong> developers)</li>
<li><strong>Animal Crossing: City Folk</strong> (maybe it&#8217;s a good thing I&#8217;m going to miss out on this one considering the hours I&#8217;ve already logged on the DS version)</li>
<li><strong>Super Mario Galaxy</strong></li>
<li>And tons more!</li>
</ul>
<p>I totally get the point of console exclusives. Really, I do. Otherwise, what&#8217;s the purpose in creating unique systems, but I do wish some licenses were more broadly shared than others. Thankfully, just knowing that <strong>Final Fantasy XIII</strong> will be on both systems, <em>whenever</em> it does come out is enough to sate my bruised heart.</p>
