I still think it'll be released on the PC at a later date, but they won't say anything until a few months after its 360 release, and it might be a year late.

That's exactly what people said about Gears 2.

Big difference, they've already shown off Alan Wake as a PC exclusive multiple times. You really think they're gonna convince every PC supremacist out there to cough up money just to play Alan Wake on a 360?

No differences, really. It's the same thing again: Microsoft realized that the x360 needs more exclusives and needs to show it's true power.

You really think that it's not going to push the x360 hardware sales? You really think that this fact won't help in the sales for the x360 version if it's the only version that you will be able to buy?

Please...

I'm pretty sure it's bloody obvious that I think it'll push 360 sales, considering I said they won't say anything about a PC release until several months after its 360 release. But if you want to be a condescending douche about it, go right ahead.

 

It's sort of like putting Bioshock on PS3 a year later, by then, no one gives two shits about it.

And I said that that's exactly what people said about Halo 3 and Gears 2.

Face it, Microsoft realized that they need more exclusives for the x360. Microsoft is supporting Remedy and they are also going to publish the game, you won't see it on PC just like Gears 2, Halo 3, Forza 3 and Fable 2/3.

And no, it's not bloody obvious that you think it will push 360 sales. You actually said "PC owners wont buy a console just to play one game", and I disagree with you. Some of those PC owners are waiting for this game for years. PC owners had games like Halo 1 & 2 and Gears 1, but Halo 3 and Gears 2 are on the x360 and Alan Wake is just another reason to buy a x360.

The differences between Alan Wake and the other games are:
1- Remedy isn't owned by Microsoft
2- Remedy has a big PC fanbase
3- Remedy has already showed off the PC version multiple times
4- Intel used Alan Wake to promote it's CPUs
5- The PC version of Alan Wake would definitely be PC-centric.

Epic only needed 2 of the reasons above to release the Gears of War 1 on PC. Of course GOW1 PC was dead on arrival due to Microsoft and GFWL, so it's not the same thing as Alan Wake at all (probably why GOW2 didn't come to PC).
