^ 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.
|
If they want to wait for it. As I said, those were timed exclusives, and 90% of the people that wanted it got them on the first platform. It is, to a large degree, why movie theaters are still in business. Sure my whole family can see that movie for a $5 rental... but we have to wait 6 months.
|
With the money saved on not purchasing a 360 (And using the PC you already have) you could easily have a different console of your choice and play even more games. At that point, does it really matter? It's just another release date.

I couldn't play this game on my computer for $199 X_X
I'd need a new graphics card, a processor, a motherboard to get it all running so, ya know, basically a new computer....hmm...and one of those little worm lights you hang over the desk to brighten it up in the dark.
So I think thats a little more then one-ninety-nine. Correct me if I'm wrong of course.
