Keeping in mind that a PC is NOT a gaming console (I think we already cleared that up with my friend Webster), that fact right there makes the OP's and your ENTIRE argument moot. Which makes me question why you kept arguing your point that games made for PCs and 360s are NOT exclusives because PCs are consoles.

...

 

This baffles me. You quoted the definitions from Webster's, but did you read them? Or did you consider that a single entity can satisfy multiple definitions at the same time?

Because I'm pretty sure that a PC for gamers is "an electronic system that connects to a display (as a television set) and is used primarily to play video games".

I'm afraid Ironman is happlily bending definitions and facts to suit his view rather than actually taking the time to see they are not truly malleable in that manner.

An exclusive is an exclsuive.  You can put qualifiers on it due to specific circumstances - such as 'console exclusive' but in every case the qualifier excludes it also being a pure representation of the true definition.

You can say a PC is X and a console is Y, which are really qualification definitions, or you can see each is an electronic device, using visual display and aural outputs, capable of performing a set number of functions.   In the case of the PC the number of functions is higher, and in the case of games they both happen to support the same function in essentially the same manner.

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
