What do games that are exclusive in our respective regions, but not in others count as?


good question I was wonderting what to count Tales of Graces f as

I was originally going to count my Tales of Graces f as partially exclusive, but I was unsure about Vesperia. I guess it could be in the same category though considering it's the original version and not the version that has the added content, technically. So for those two I guess it's arguable that they can be placed in the "partially exclusive" category, but one that was identical on multiple platforms in Japan, but was exclusive in NA is Deadly Premonition, so I'm not sure how to classify it. Really though, I think all three of the games I mentioned should just count as exclusive because there is no way I would have gotten them on another system. Besides, exclusives are system sellers and the reason I have a 360 and a PS3 is because of Vesperia and Graces f.


The reason I'm taking this so seriously is because it's very important that we all get this information right. If we don't, the Mayans will just start using the incorrect classification of game exclusivity as another excuse for the world ending.



Around the Network

Wii
Exclusive: 14
Multiplat: 2

Xbox360
Exlusive: 13
Timed exclusive: 4
Multiplat: 6

PS3
Exclusive: 36
Multiplat: 59



Wii U:

3 Multiplats

3DS:
8 Exclusive
3 Multiplats
1 Timed Exclusive

DS (using on my 3DS):
3 Exclusive
1 Multiplat
1 Timed Exclusive

edit: Actually the "multiplat" game I'm referring to for the DS could be considered a timed exclusive.

I included DS because there are still games being made for DS in this generation.  Too early to call off the DS for now.

Final Fantasy IV.  I know it was released on other platforms way before the DS.  However, the DS version was different in that it was completely redone with 3D Models.  If an HD Remake counts as an exclusive, so should this.  However, the iOS got the game as well, so it should be considered a timed-exclusive because of it.



Wii:
- 23 Exclusive
- 6 Multiplat

3DS:
- 5 Exclusive
- 3 Multiplat

360:
- 9 Exclusive
- 14 Multiplat

Wii U:
- 3 Exclusive
- 2 Multiplat



PS Vita

6 Exclusive

1 Cross-Buy

 

PS3

17 Exclusives

1 Cross-Buy

20 Multiplat

 

360

13 Exclusives

18 Multiplat

 

Wii

21 Exclusives

4 Multiplat

 

This is buy counting cases and ignoring that BS called "timed exclusive." I gave PSASBR its own category since it's not the average multiplat game.

Yeah, I'm aware (I'm getting it day one :D), but it's not exactly out yet and doesn't exactly have a whole lot of release info other than 2013 and $40. Though, I guess it's really only fair to consider it timed exclusive, but that will eventually make my collection a little weird (at least to me) because Deadly Premonition will be considered a timed exclusive on my 360, but when I get it on my PS3 it will be considered partially exclusive due to it being the director's cut. I dunno. This whole exclusivity classification is silly anyway. I feel eager to just classify them however the hell I want to, which for all I know is what everyone else is doing considering no one's showing what they are classifying their games as individually (which would be a pointless waste of time anyway).
