Ok - I for one think console exclusive games or timed exclusives are GREAT for consoles. Why? I think that gamers who really like a game aren't very patient and will buy a console if they are crazy about a game. The console maker gains a large following - but forces other console makers to raise the stakes and step their game up.
I also think it's all about business, not gamers' wants and needs. I think it (exclusives, exclusive content) gives console makers a very clear advantage, like the one the PS2 had over the superior Xbox. (The NVidia lawsuit didn't help MS either)
I also like watching the comp scramble, which makes things even better for the both sets of gamers.
For the folks who don't think it's a good idea - why? Do you feel console exclusives are unfair? Who do you blame?
I wanna see some thoughts about this matter.
