Looks like 360 has a "Real exclusive" now.

 

This game is gonna be amazing. 

Finally...I`m tired of 360/Pc versions.

Good news for 360 owners and,if anybody wants to play Alan Wake,they should buy a cheap 360 and enjoy the exclusive games. What`s wrong with that? It was about time MS stopped supporting the Pc with it`s high piracy rate. 

And if someone is offended by this decision,then you know how I feel when I buy a 360 game while many people download the Pc version of the game using torrent sites.

What matters are the sales, and if Alan Wake sold more on PC+Xbox360 than just X360, then your argument is pointless. I can assure you that if Alan Wake, like most good games, were to be released in both platforms at the same time, it would very likely sell more on PC.

 

lol just no

I can't think of a good shooter that sold more on Xbox 360 than on PC, that was released on both at same time...

CoD4 - we had this discussion before and you claimed that CoD4 sold 10 million on the PC, which is just not true. (Activision said so, NPD has CoD4 on PC at 900k etc)

Same goes for CoD WaW.

And Left 4 Dead. Gabe Newell said in June that there is a L4D community of 3 million players (Check: http://kotaku.com/5286185/valve-responds-to-left-4-dead-2-boycott-vows-support-for-original ) according to VGC Left 4 Dead on Xbox360 made about 2 million of those 3 million. (Check: http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Left+4+Dead+-+X360&reg2=All&game2=&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=100 )

Bioshock - Take Two said December 07 that Bioshock sold 2 million copies. (Check: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3165101 )
According to VGC Data the Xbox360 version sold about 1.4 million in December 07. (Check http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Bioshock+-+X360&reg2=All&game2=&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=100 ) About 19 weeks after release (Release in July , sales till mid December)

COD4 - I stand by my opinion that COD4 has sold 10 millions or close to that. Whenever Activision released figures about COD4 it was only taken from the sales in 5/6 countries, most of them console-centric markets, and did'nt even add dozens of PC-centric countries to those figures. They also never even said anything about digital sales.

COD WaW - yes, this one definitely sold more on Xbox 360. I'll give you that.

Left 4 Dead - lol. There was a chart that estimated there the current amount of L4D PC gamers were almost 3 times bigger than the X360 gamers. L4D is also still selling quite well on PC, and on Steam.

Bioshock - lol. I have little doubt that Bioshock is a big success on PC, possibly reaching 3 millions or more (even more so now that the sequel was delayed). There was a report that Bioshock sold over 1 million over 1 year ago, and we don't even know if the digital sales were included. Ever since then Bioshock had several promotions with DD services which no doubt gave them soem nice sales, especially the HUGE Steam deals that had Bioshock sell for only $4.99.
