yes we all know, playstation had 2 exclusives more this gen that makes the difference for...5% of gamers.

No, the point is that the only pc games that are really playable on a tv are basically the ones that are popular on 360, and since every 360 exclusive is also on pc, then they will also be on this device.

 

Who said anything about playstation?

sal.paradise was there that should be enough explanation and my response was meant to him. and no, they aren't all available on pc there are dozens (is this the plural of dozen in english?) only for 360 and like i said then, same counts for playstation if you only count 360 games available for pc except maybe a few more games which are really only available on playstation but this is only important for 5% of gamers so you could have mentioned playstation as well then. whatever you tried to say with that, it would count for playstation as well. at least for most customers, maybe not for few like us surfing on gaming sites but we are such an unimportant audience for the whole market...

I'm not sure I understand. PS3 is ~30% of the market. Why would people buy a 250$ ps3 over a 199$ xbox if it wasn't for the exclusive games available to it? Sony has not put a single one of their games on pc. MS has put 99% of their games on pc.

It's the same with wii. You won't find any wii games on that samsung, and that account for more than 40% of the market. Again, it's not about ps3. Ps3 AND wii make up nearly 70%, you can't say that equals 5% by any stretch.

i bought mine because i could get a good blu-ray player and for two games series, uncharted and gow (so for the really big ip's)). and 360 is more expensive if you use the online service.

and i didn't say sony own 5% of the market, i said only 5% of the gamers care about the few more exclusives on ps3. maybe a few percent more. most don't care about the unimportant exclusives.

but to come back what you tried to say, if people wouldn't need a 360 anymore because microsoft put some games on pc  (which still means there are games like pgr (which should be forza horizon now), halo, shadow complex, banjo, kinect games, amped, perfect dark, lost odyssey, forza, gears, blue dragon and blablabla), most who own a ps3 wouldn't need this console anymore as well except people like us surfing on internet sites but most gamers could live without killzone and god of war or halo and gears. most of my friends here in germany buy a console because of football games. if there wouldn't be these games, they wouldn't buy a console. sure they buy halo and killzone as well then but they wouldn't buy a console without fifa and multi-plat games would be enough for them to play. and for people people like me, even if i would only have halo for 360 i woud buy the 360 for that. microsoft doesn't need 100 exclusives to sell a console to his "fans", because if they want to play halo they need the 360, simple as that. and if sony wouldn't have heavy rain, starhawk, killzone and resistance they wouldn't have sold much less consoles.

if sony would really have such an important advantage i wonder why we don't see that in sales. sure playstation is selling better but playstation is a brand known by everyone and if the japanese wouldn't hate to buy foreign cars/consoles/whatever so much, xbox would sell even better.

and talking about nintendo, yes you are right, nintendo lives from the exclusives. just imagine they would have all the multi-plat games as well of ps3 and 360! people who bought a ps3 or 360 because of the whole library (which is in most parts mult-plat games) wouldn't need these anymore and many would have a wii instead

but just theoretically, if 80% of xbox 360 players wouldn't need a 360 anymore with that cloud gaming (the rest still because of halo and so on), minimum 70% of playstation players wouldn't need a playstation as well anymore then.
