I don't know what you're doing here then because the Thread title is "issue with the 'exclusives' argument".

If anyone asks me if Ico & SOTC are exclusive to the PS3, I will say no.
If anyone asks me if DC Universe is an exclusive to the PS3, I will say no.
If anyone asks me if MGS1 is an exclusive to the PS3, I will say no.

 

That's just my stance on it. I have a PS2, PS3, PC and I can play every single game that the "360 has and the PS3 does not". How some call that a 360 exclusive is beyond me as I ..very obviously don't need a 360.

That's an interesting point.  What's your thought on PS2 and PS1 classics on the PS3, Sales?  Do you count those in your comparison of the two platforms?

In a PS3 vs 360 debate, one would count PS3 and 360 games. Xbox origionals and PS1 classics are not 360 and PS3 titles. They are available on the console, but not techically a current gen game.

Now older gen games that get a remastered PS3 edition like GOW, Okami, SOTC. They have a PS3 retail cover and thus made the jump to a PS3 title, which then counts. Same goes for Halo CEA and the upcoming Fable 1 remake, which get updated for the current gen and get 360 covers.

Just simply keep it strictly to 360 games not on PS3 and PS3 games not on 360. Not Xbox vs PS3, no bringing in outside platforms like Wii and especially PC. Just simply, two specific consoles, and their differentiating games from the current gen.

If you rule out PS1 & PS2 games, you rule out games that began on the PC as they don't strictly belong to a specific generation. And that excludes a bunch of these "exclusives" you are talking about.
