Is it? In the Xbox 360 Exclusives thread they even listed "timed exclusives"(that came in the same year) and PC/360 games as exclusives... What is the point is making a list of game releases? Is it to inform other people, isn't it? There must be parameters defined for the list, or else one would have to just make a list of all PC games released. I chose to include only 2009 exclusives. Why? Because it is valid to compare with last year's PC releases, to compare with another platform's lineup in the same timeframe, etc... Would you not count Braid right now as a valiant addition to Xbox 360's when in comparison with PS3 or PC? But Braid will still be multiplatform. If a platform only had multiplatform releases, would you not compare it's library vs Xpto console's library through the multiplatform games that Xpto's didn't have? Really, what is the point in listing only exclusive games, if not for a comparison with other platforms? If one was only interested in listing PC games, it would simply list all games - multiplatform or not. I said 2009 exclusives. Nothing more, nothing less. |
Very simple question to answer and Braid is a great example!
Can I get Braid only for the 360 in 2008? Yes.
Can I get Braid only for the PC in 2009 when it's released on the PC? No, I can get it for the 360 and PC.
Is it exclusive then? No, even though it's released only for the PC in 2009 I can still buy it for the 360.
Therefore, not a 2009 exclusive.
And why the hell is thread stickied?
