If the whole point was comparing how exclusives sell then why start a new thread?  You started a new thread because you didn't like the lists in the other thread.  This is a list war.  It's like polishing a turd, you can try and polish it all you want, but in the end, it is still a turd.  

I started a new thread because I prefer this way of looking at it, sure. No matter what I'm talking about, I always look at exclusives as exclusives. But this doesn't make it a list war. This is a list but I don't see the war.

There is a war here, it's a war over arbitrary definitions of exclusives to make one platform look better than the other.  Jaywood did it in his thread and you are doing it in this one.  People aren't popping in here and saying, hey, that is interesting that microsoft is selling more copies, but fewer exclusives.  They are coming in and commenting on who is winning (or, giving you grief for the thread, sorry).  

It's not my fault what people decide to comment on but as you can probably tell if you read the OP I'm not making PS3 look better than 360 here. I mention that in my summary. But this is always what exclusive has meant and will mean in my eyes.

well, going by what you said about exclusives in your op, you might be missing your own point

"So, this thread compares real exclusives, or something that would entice someone to buy a particular platform. Games already available on PC won't entice anyone to buy a 360 so PC/360 games do not count. PSP/PS3/Vita games don't count either (if there are any)."

looking at your or statement there, it seems you want to compare games that might entice somebody to buy a particular platform. Imagine if somebody didn't have a 360 or a pc, and they really wanted to buy a game that was only on those two platforms... do you really think that game wouldn't entice somebody to buy the console? Do you actually think there wasn't a single person that bought a 360 to play left 4 dead? Mass Effect? Same goes for the ps3, you think just because the game is on a handheld they won't want it on the ps3?

Looking at your statement there, this should be a VERY different list.
