So technically speaking, if it's not a console the Xbox 360 has a bunch of exclusives that are on the PC too? The PC isn't a gaming console so that means L4D, L4D 2, Gears of War, Mass Effect 1 and 2, Tropico 3, Prey, and numerous other games are 360 exclusives? Uh....go Xbox 360?

but game releases are based on platforms and not consoles. which is why developers say Wii Platform, PC platform, HD console platform.

So in the term "Console Exclusive" the 360 has a bunch, but "Platform Exclusive" it doesn't. Most people say "Console Exclusive" when reffering to this so basically they should consider a PC is a platform, not console.

That is enough, that shit does not belong in this thread. If you wish to discuss it, make a new thread.

why, it has everything to do with this thread. Just because your OP and cant stand that what is being discussed destroys your entire argument, you cannot just stop it because it is completely OT.

No, it has nothing to do with this thread, How does the word "Platform" have anything to do with deciding whether the PC is a "gaming console" or not? You sir are jumping the gun.

PC is a platform, Consoles are platforms, handhelds are platforms. Games are not developed in terms of a "console" rather platforms. Even though the Wii is vastly different in terms of the HD consoles, it is still a console platform developers choose to develop for. If they develop for all console platforms, its up to them. Typically the HD consoles, more then not the 360, have games developed for multiple platforms ie themselves and PC. This is why we call games multiplatform and not multiconsole games.

Funny, cuz I recall saying that a PC was a platform, heck I will even go a step farther and say the gaming consoles are also platforms.

You can argue that PC is not a console all you want, thats obvious as the sky is blue, during the day. What matters is that we stay on topic by discussing what PC is and what the consoles are. And they are PLATFORMS.

So I will put you down on the list as admiting that a PC is not a console then! I really don't know why you are arguing with me, it seems we agree on all points. you are just putting words in my mouth.
