Do People Still Care About Exclusives?

I've like.. managed to get plenty of my buds to change to PS3 by speaking very very very highly about the games and showing them stuff ^^.

Just wanted to share my experience and what it has led me to believe xD.

That's cool.  I can respect that.  I'll just say this:  You managed to get your friends to switch to PS3 because YOU stressed the importance/quality of the exclusive games.  Before that, did they care?

Most of the people I know (people who I hide my love of gaming for) don't care if the game they bought is made by Sony, Capcom, Microsoft, or whatever.  They just care if the game they're playing is worth owning.  I even have a friend at work who I tried to convince to get a 360.  He was pretty much like, "I can't fuck with Microsoft.  I'm a Sony fan.  I always was."  But the only games he owns are third party sports games and third party FPS's!!  WTF!?

*edit*  I know this will either unravel my entire argument or cement it but: Maybe if there were some 360 exclusives that he cared about.....

Yeah I get your point, I am just speaking about how easily I can show ..to ..some.. people... why.. they... should.. not.. have .. a ... 360.. when they have a good PC and they want ... games.. that.. are.. ..acclaimed by the ..media/internet/"BEST GRAPHICS"/awesome experience etc. I get where you're coming from and im glad you seem to get what I mean too :). They have games that they buy and barely any of them are on the 15 list of 360. But when I start showing off the 35 list, theyre bound to like something xD and usually theres plenty of more where that came from!!11!1
