**EDIT**

And just because you don't want to count PC games as a platform,  PC is every bit the platform that Xbox 360/PS3/Wii are.  Left 4 Dead,  Team Fortress, etc  are PC games that were ported to the 360.  It's not exclusive to the Xbox 360 period.

 

Yep, they were PC exclusives that are no longer exclusive thanks to the 360.  1.34 million 360 owners didn't buy Left 4 Dead on the pc.  I guess 1.34 million people did not have an average pc.

 

You're right.  1.34 million people did not have an average PC,  or preferred to play it on the Xbox 360.  The point is and will remain,  that this doesn't quantify the game as an Xbox 360 exclusive.   Good for Microsoft (They make more money)  but  really they aren't providing you (The gamer) with much that you couldn't get with an average PC.

Wii and PS3 on the flip side actually do.

 

This:

Halo 3 Career Stats | View All Stats

But...but...Halo 3 suxorz...PC FPS FTW...Mouse Keyboard FTW.... LOLZ....FAILZ....RRoD...head explodes

 

Again.  You continue to further my point for me.   There aren't many "quality" games outside of Halo that you can't play on the PC.  I could list a whole slew of good games on PS3/Wii that you can only play on those two platforms.  Microsoft has tried to put just about every game on PC.   The point then remains,  what is the point in owning an Xbox 360?   What games would you purchase a 360 for?  If you had merely an average PC?

 

I never criticized Halo or console FPS,  but since you brought it up.  Microsoft tried to bring Halo(1) to PC and it failed and died miserably.  If it was such an amazing game it easily should have toppled PC based FPS.  Fact is, it didn't.  The simple fact is that console based shooters just don't match up to PC based ones.  Not yet and probably not ever.
