take a look at the sales of the common games between 360 and pc
you'll see why 360/pc exclusive practically means 360 exclusive

Some sell better on 360 than PC. But there are alot of them that sell greater on PC, and PC gives a higher profit margin per copy than Xbox 360.

Anyway, retail is only 30% of PC's entire revenue, and that percentage is decreasing more and more. PC is a online juggernaut.

 

a lot of great titles like Gears of War and COD4 all got much much better sales on 360 than PC

if you are trying to say that a lot of games sell better on PC, you better suggest some examples that we are all familiar with

by the way, many people here saying that pc gives them no need for a 360, they should say that if they want to miss great titles like Gears of War 2, fable2, Halo3 and Star Ocean 4, or they can wait until some years after these great games finally find their ways to PC, or they should just simply say that these 360-exclusive games are all rubbish and not worth buying at all.

Gears of War came out a full year after the 360's release and worst of all, it was directly associated with GFW. It had all the signs for low sales.

As for COD4, I still keep defending that the PC version is doing better than Xbox 360's. Hell, I even believe it's doing better than both PS3/360 combined. COD4 PC is still seen in several PC Top10 charts, and is still selling like crack in Digital Distribution (currently 8th in Steam Topsellers) and hasn't even dropped price.

Unless you have al platforms, you will always lose good exclusives. The good thing about PC is that it has way more good exclusives than any other platform.

 

you said that COD4 PC is doing better than both PS3/360 combined

I am gonna give u some real numbers to prove that the sales of COD4 PC is like shit to COD4 360 sales.

A complete run-down of the top PC games of 2007 follows:

  1. World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade (Blizzard Entertainment) - 2.25 million
  2. World of Warcraft (Blizzard Entertainment) - 914,000
  3. The Sims 2 Seasons Expansion Pack (EA Maxis) - 433,000
  4. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Infinity Ward) 383,000
  5. Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (EA Los Angeles) - 343,000
  6. Sim City 4 Deluxe (Maxis) - 284,000
  7. The Sims 2 (Maxis) - 281,000
  8. The Sims 2 Bon Voyage Expansion Pack (Maxis) - 271,000
  9. Age of Empires III (Ensemble Studios) - 259,000
  10. The Sims 2 Pets Expansion Pack (Maxis) - 236,000

the sales of COD4 360 breaks the number of a whole year sales of COD4 PC in its first day after release.

I doubt the pc sales even reach a million by now but 360 version already got over 6 millions

that's why PC/360 games should be seen as 360-exclusive coz the majority buys the games for 360

and some people say pc got all 360 games,ya,damn right, regardless of GOW2,Fable,Star Ocean:Last Hope,Halo3
