Xbox 360 'exclusives' that are also on the PC.

you are contradicting yourself. By it being exclusive to one platform it would not appear on the other. Microsoft does not have exclusive publishing rights to pcs either. Pc software sales has a negative effect on xbox 360 software sales. Alas they are in direct competition.

 

I just answered correctly. You may all proceed to thank me now.

M$ has published several first party XBox brand/PC games.  That is what exclusive publishing rights means.  Meaning that if Fable 2 comes out on PC, M$ will have to have published it.  Meaning M$ thinks that Fable 2 on PC/360 will generate more money than having it only on the 360.

 

Yes they have published several titles. Just because they publish several titles does not earn them the right to all titles that they do not publish. Infact, the titles they publish for both the xbox and the pc ARE MULTIPLATFORM Yes ! it's true ! They are Multiplatform titles ! Why do you think they are delayed ? It was even said by someone else, They don't want too many conflicting sales which might hurt their console brand. I mean comon. It's fairly obvious.

 

1. Where did I say that they have rights to all pc games?

2. Where did I say that they were not multiplatform games?

 

I am merely saying that if M$ thinks that they can make money from the PC market with a 360 game, they will sure as hell do it.  Just like Valve thinks that they will not alienate their pc fanboys(or perhaps not get potential Steam users) by releasing L4D onto the 360, which generated a shit ton of sales for 360.  This game could have been considered a pc exclusive that was expanded to the 360.
