Well lets just examine bioshock for a moment. Retailers in most parts of the world, with exceptions such as Sweden, are saying that the 360 version is outselling the PC version about 4 to 1. The reason for this is that your average PC cannot play bioshock at any acceptable level. The reality is that most people simply cannot afford the constant upgrades it takes to be a PC gamer. So it is your definition that i take issue with. For at least the next couple of years these "console-exclusives" will, for all intensive purposes, remain effective exclusives, as there simply isnt a broad enough base of people with powerful enough pc's to run these games.
I know many people that save every dollar they can to buy a PS3 or 360, and most of them dont run out afterwards and splash out the $AU 3500-4000 necessary to purchase a computer that will run 360 "console exclusives" for the next 5 years. The word "exclusive" exists to create a perception that a console is the only/best place to play a game, as long as the mainstream hears that a game is exclusive to a certain console, that is what they will believe, and that is the console they will buy.
