Indeed. To me, the console exclusive titles should be considered, because they usually had quite an impact specifically for the console they were on (like Gears of War & Fable III). I have nothing against true exclusives (after all, an exclusive is an exclusive), but in this case, I wanted 360/PC games to be considered for Microsoft's end. |
Yeah I've never really understood the confusion with a console exclusive. The PC isn't a console, I'm sorry. Sure it plays games but its in a totally seperate generation and in terms of user base and architecture and such its quite different as well. A console exclusive is an exclusive at the end of the day because the PS3 and 360 are competing with each other but not with the PC. Neither MS or Sony view PC as a competitor due to the big differences between them and odds are people who are deciding which console to buy look at the "console exclusive" games as TRUE exclusives as well. Especially the casual gamer who has no idea if its on the PC. They'll just walk into their local gamestore, look at the shelves for the two differenct consoles and decide which one has games they prefer the other doesn't.
And the VAST majority of gamers are "casual gamers". Trust me I've worked in game retail for years and well over 50% of the user base of both the PS3 and 360 would be labeled as a "casual gamer" by most of the users on here.
