@ ironman - there's just too many exceptions, maybes, depending on this and that etc.. for your logic to be successful. It dosent add up. Exlusive is and have always been defined as Single or Only. And not divided or shared with others; ex. "they have exclusive use of the machine"; "sole rights of publication"
There's really no need to try and bend the definition just so it'll work with what you're trying to achieve.

No, there really are not many exceptions, very few if any games that are shared by the PC and the 360 are sactioned for use outside of an MS product. thus it is an MS exclusive. As for your deifinition of "exclusive" you are correct. An MS "exclusive" game is not divided amungst non MS OS or gaming machines. It would seem that you forget MS is a singular company and as such, fits the definition of exclusive perfectly.
@dobby, Yes, it is, if it is a port from the 360, in most cases, it will only work on a computor with a MS operating system, and it is officially branded by MS.

A) Even you writes "An MS "exclusive" game" - so deep down you know its not an exclusive, or there wouldn't be any need for the ".
B) Even if there was such a thing as a MS exclusive like you say, how dose that correlate with your statement "not devided amongst non MS OS or gaming machines" when there are PS3/PC games out there?
C) "not many exceptions" is in other words "few exceptions" - which can not be apart of an Absolute word like Exclusive.
"Another definition:
Cross-platform (Multi platform)
Cross platform is a term which can refer to computer programs, operating systems, computer languages, programming languages, or other computer software and their implementations which can be made to work on multiple computer platforms.
Notice that the above text says "made to work on multiple computer platforms" - so you can not argue that is exclusive because PC isn't a true gaming platform. The Game is "made to work on multiple computer platforms".. i.e the PC. And if it works on multiple computer platforms, it's defined as what people? Multi platform! That's right."
Like i said before.
How can there be such a thing as MS Exclusive when the opposite of Exclusive in this case is Multiplatform? What does a hardware/software company have to do with platforms? It is called multiplatform, not multi-developer/producer/company. A game is developed to work as a cross platform software. So that multiple platforms can compute the information. A console is one computer platform, and the PC is another. I.e the software works on multiple platforms ~ Multiplatform software.

Well thank you for telling me what I meant with the quotations, it's nice to know you can read minds...In the real world, the quotations were for the benefit of people who do not believe such games are exclusives, even though it is quite clear that they are. Now, as for your definition, it is pointless, we are talking exclusives, NOT multiplat, even still, Platform could easily refer to the entire MS platform (MS operating systems, both the NXE dashboard and the Windows OS)

Multiplatform is the opposite of exclusive, so to define exclusive we have to define what Multiplatform is, so that if a game falls under multiplatform, it can hardly be exclusive. And in the process of defining what multiplatform is, we can not make up words like MS Platform, since that dosen't apply with the definition of the basic platform;
"The [consumer electronics/electronic systems] used to play video games are known as platforms; examples of these are personal computers and video game consoles."
..or
"The term "platform" refers to the specific combination of electronic or computer hardware which, in conjunction with low-level software, allows a video game to operate. The term "system" is also commonly used."
So once again, stop making up words that suit your argument.
