^ The crazy thing is PS3 and PSP are to different platforms. But both Sony. Noone kicks up a fuss when a game is on both and called exclusive.

PC and 360 are both M$, so yeah it's exclusive to M$. So I dont see the problem anyway. PC sales dont affect console sales. And if they do, we are talking only a few thousand at most.

No actually. PC is a open platform which includes systems from OSX to Windows based platforms to Unix based systems. The hardware is not owned by microsoft, and windows is only a medium, which you don't have to pay royalities unless you go under the "Games for windows" development.

Fanboys are funny really, they constantly want something, so they'll twist it to fit there own design. The game is not exclusive, and will look better on PC, get over it. You just  want to somehow make PS3 fanboys get mad over all the "exclusives" like bioshock!(PC, PS3, 360).... Mass effect!(PC 360, same with 2).... Gears!(PC 360) in fact most of the big hitters are multiplat, yet you would say exclusive, what kind of fucked up logic are you running?

PS3, 360, and WII are all personal computers. Console is just to describe they are meant for gaming and prebuilt.

 

PC is an open platform, but is this game going to run on Unix, OSX, etc? If not, it's still MS exclusive. Besides which, all those you listed, were at the very least timed exclusives, and guess what? 90% of their sales came from the 360. You could even say "Halo games go to the PC! Not exclusive! LULZ", but the fact remains that the 3 Halo FPS games have tallied over 23m sales on the 360, and calling them anything but exclusive is semantics.

The point is....more people have computers than video game consoles.  If you own even a relatively new PC (Like 4-5 years old),  you can run many of these new games on low settings if need be.   What is the point in owning a 360 if almost every title that peaks your interest can be played on another system?  

Why should you get to claim that it's "exclusive"  if a good amount of people easily can play it as if it were a non-exclusive?  This holds true for PS3/PC,  Nintendo/PC, or 360/PC games.

 

 

 The reason being is although people have computers the vast majority dont have gaming rigs and peripherals that make the experience as good as a console.  We have multiple computers in my household. All laptops. I dont want to play games like these on a laptop.  This is why PC versions of most games sell much much lower then the console versions.  And not to mention that vast majority of people are more comfortable with a controller than a keyboard and mouse (especially laptop keyboards).



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
