You said this:
"PC gamer knows he is a PC gamer. He spends money upgrading and will always do so. He will have on through any console generation. a console owner will likely not be upgrading his PC he uses for Internet Explorer, and Splinter Cell being on PC for example is not gonna make him change his decision about which console to own for what games."
My point was that console gamers may not even worry about current generation hardware. Saying that PC gamers constantly upgrade, or by extension that console gamers buy new consoles every generation is incorrect.
"By what you have written a thread like this PS3 vs 360 Exclusives is about only those consoles. And going by what you wrote I assume and the way it comes across is that your fine with putting Splinter Cell Conviction and FF14 on the list. As they are not competing with the PC market therefore in a market on ther own. ? I concur."
I asked you -- why does it matter if the markets are competing or not? I never said that it did/didn't matter, that's an inference you made.

Sorry for any confusion. What I meant was this:
A Pc gamer spends money upgrading his PC to play the new games. He has been doing this in many cases since the days of PC gaming when the Nes was around. Now in general a console gamer is less fussy. He will not be playing many games on PC outside the odd strategy game if any at all. And a game being 360/Pc or Ps3/PC is not going to make his choice of console when he wants to upgrade be worse. Because a PC Gamer has already bought the game if he wants it.
There are more than 10 examples in the last 2 years of games that are either 360/PC or PS3/PC where the console version accounts for between 80-90% of the sales. Now if that wasn't a console excluisve working for the benefit of the console I dont know what is. The 10-20% who bought on PC are most likely PC gamers who have been since 1995.
