Put it this way, if the game is a 360 game, then it is an exclusive because it is exclusive to MS consoles (MS windows ring a bell?) Just like a PS3 exclusive that also comes out of the PSP is still and exclusive to Sony, and a Nintendo game that comes out for the Wii and the DS is a Nintendo exclusive. It's simple really, I don't know how you people don't get that.

Well...

So 360/PC is exclusive. But PS3/PC is what? Multiplatform?

And also, the opposite of Exclusive is Multiplatform, right!? So why would a combo HW/SW developer make any difference to whether or not a game is exclusive or not? Its not called multideveloper, its called multiplatform. A Platform is defined, in this case, as a computing system, where the console is one computing system, and the PC is another. I.e Multiple systems (Multiple platforms).. and the word Multiplatform is born.

Yes, Once again The PC is a different animal because you cannot play most games without having an MS OS on it, Plus the PC game often is sanctioned by MS.

Microsoft has nothing to do with PC games, and if they tried to pull some weird stunt you can be sure as hell the PC game devs would eat MS with lawsuits. The only way that MS can control anything is through GFW, and we all know how crap and unsupported GFW is.
