format release was ps2. or you are saying all nintendo games from nintendo the wii are not exclusive because they can be emulated on PC? . a Gears of war PC format version exist, one tailered for the PC, it's no longer exclusive. emulation tricks the software to think its another console. |
What I'm saying is that Shadow of the Colossus can be played on a PS3 or a PS2, regardless of official release. It doesn't matter what the box says. You can walk into a store, buy a PS2 game and pop it into certain PS3s and it will work. End of story. Traditional emulation does not work that way. They require an illegal ROM to be downloaded to play the game. Thus similar to other situations mentioned in this topic, one does not need a PS2 to play an actual legal copy of SOTC.
My point for mentioning this is that just because you played Gears on your PC, and I played SOTC on my PS3, does not mean these can't be considered exclusives to another purchaser on a different machine. Why have predetermined definitions that are only beneficial to game hardware manufacturers? They use them to entice you and stop you from thinking for yourself. My purcahases are made based on my own levels of exclusivity, and yours and everyone elses' should too.
