Yeah, gamers, AKA, humans that play games.

And I didn't say all gamers. I said the majority of gamers. Most of them simply play games. They don't care if the game is available on another console or not. That's not going to hamper their enjoyment of the game.

Of course a gamer who plays games care. Casuals (whom are the majority) obviously not.

I get the feeling you're separating casuals from gamers as if they're two separate groups. They are not. Casuals are gamers as well. I think you're identifying gamers as people who are hardcore. Most gamers are moderate gamers, they fall between casuals and hardcore. The moderate and the casual don't care if a game is exclusive or not. I'd even say a good portion of the hardcore don't care. I'd say maybe one-third of hardcore gamers care about exclusives. Those people are super hardcore, and they represent probably less than 1% of the gaming population.

Most gamers simply don't care about playing exclusives. They usually judge games based on their quality, not their exclusiveness. This is probably the case even for hardcore gamers. I know that's the case for me.

In short, most X360 gamers don't feel neglected or ignored. They have more than enough games to satsify their desires.
