well i played gears and i don't know a 360 ;).

I played Shadow of the Colossus and I don't own a PS2. ;)

legally shadow of the colossus was released only on PS2.

if you borrow one or used emulator you still needed PS2 things, like the BIOS ps2, and drivers for the emulated cpu and gpu.

Legally it can be played on another console, so might as well leave legality out of this.

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.

PS3 is emulation!, actually certain ps3 are ps2 too, they include all the required hardware, at much your point make me believe more PC version are not exclusives.

not only they look better they have more features. and even free online.
