@ Alterego: I didn't say YOU said anything about Alan Wake or Splinter Cell. That was in reference to people claiming Alan Wake and Splinter Cell arent' multi since you can only play the C_O_N_S_O_L_E version on 360. As for your console comment, admit it, you were wrong. You said console, and that would not include the PC. Are you saying then that Alan Wake, Left 4 Dead 2 and Splinter Cell aren't 360 exclusives? |
Obviously not, they are either "xbox inclusives", "PC & 360 exclusives", or maybe "Microsoft exclusives".
And I wasn't wrong, I just pointed out this common mistake in Xen's post, of calling a game console exclusice, while it obviously doesn't exlude other platforms than consoles.
I'm not a grammar nazi or anything, but this particular mistake drives me crazy, (along with "literally" used to mean "virtually"), because it means the total opposite of its intended meaning.
Console exclusive is the opposite of PC exclusive. It is usually used by PC gamers, referring to games that they can't play. Final Fantasy XIII is console exclusive, because it excludes the PC, just like most JRPGs. Calling games console exclusives directly because they are on one console and PC, is just confusing, and grammatically wrong.
